Ed Sheeran gig tickets for NHS workers cancelled hours before show

People who thought they were going to see Ed Sheeran play had their hopes dashed when their tickets were cancelled just hours before the show. NHS and emergency services workers who booked using their Blue Light discount card were among those affected.

The Blue Light Card offer was also available to those in the social care sector and armed forces, with the tickets allowing admission to Sheeran's sold-out concerts at Hampden Park in Glasgow. The singer-songwriter was playing two dates at the stadium, one on Thursday (June 16) and the other on Friday (June 17).

Community psychiatric nurse Cat Allan, 42, had booked two tickets and called the situation "ridiculous", The Daily Record reports. "I am annoyed and there are a lot of disappointed people," she said.
