Some Take That fans are complaining about the ‘absolutely ridiculous’ ticket prices for their upcoming 2024 tour.
Last week the iconic boy band - consisting of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen - announced that they are set to perform on 29 dates across 15 cities in UK and Ireland next year.
Special guest Olly Murs is also set to feature as tickets will be available to purchase from 29 September at 9.30am.

Christian Kent, Head of Venue, Hospitality and Events, said: “We are delighted to welcome one of the finest bands this country has ever seen to Home Park Stadium.
Full list of dates below
“After the Rod Stewart and Muse shows last summer, it is brilliant to have such a well-loved and well-renowned group come to Plymouth, once again. Our stature as one of the premier venues in the South West continues to go from strength to strength, and welcoming artists of this level only further underlines that.
“We look forward to Take That and Olly Murs appearing at Home Park next June and are sure the people of the South West are equally excited by this announcement.”
However, those who got early access to pre-sale tickets from pre-ordering Take That's new album have been shocked by the prices for the CD bundle.
Fans also pointed out how they were waiting in virtual queues for ‘up to 90 minutes’.
“Probs a blessing I still can't get out of the bloody queue, the prices are absolutely shocking,” one person wrote on X (Twitter).
According to Ticketmaster and See Tickets, standard prices range from £70 all the way up to £132.50.
Another posted: “£132 a ticket at new co-op arena !! Exited the site without purchasing.”
A third fan also revealed ticket prices for the CD Bundle, which according to their screenshot, was £142.50 per ticket for their Manchester event, going up to £255.85.
Meanwhile a fourth person tweeted directly to singer Gary Barlow: “Gary the site is not working at all we are just stuck in a constant queue what was the point in presale if we can't access the site.”
Someone else wrote: “I've been waiting for nearly an hour starting to lose hope of getting any tickets now.”
Tyla has contacted a representative of Take That for comment.
