Tickets for a sold-out Ed Sheeran gig have been cancelled for emergency service workers, leaving fans gutted as they found out less than a day before the show.
Gig organisers issued an apology after some fans were told their tickets to the concert in Hampden Park, Glasgow, were no longer valid. It’s thought that hundreds of people planning to attend the show were affected by the cancellations, with many left out of pocket after already paying for travel and accommodation to attend, the Daily Record reports .
Emergency service workers booked tickets for the gig using a Blue Light Card, a discount service for members of the NHS, social care sector, emergency services and armed forces. But they were informed by email less than 24 hours before Ed Sheeran was due to take to the stage that they wouldn’t be able to attend the concert.
