Harry Styles fans in Edinburgh were left fuming after ticket touts tried to flog tickets for up to £5,000 in the pre-sale of his 2023 Love on Tour dates.
The Watermelon Sugar singer has released a new set of dates across the UK and Europe, after his successful run of shows in June 2022.
Fans who were in the queue at 9:55am this morning were complaining of 60,000-strong queues, and anxiety-inducing waiting times, as some lasted up to one hour and ten minutes in cases. The Harry Styles fanatics took to social media to vent their frustrations at the lack of presale tickets available.

One disgruntled Twitter user wrote: "@TicketmasterCS has your site crashed or are pre sale tickets for Edinburgh Harry Styles all sold out? I just keep getting this?"
Another said: "Just spent a frustrating 45 mins with my eldest (& 4 PCs!) trying to get Harry Styles pre-sale (not for me!) in Edinburgh…. I hate these online tickets !!"
And a third wrote: "the fact i had 3000 people in front of me for harry styles Edinburgh then got tickets and it said my password was wrong when it wasnt then it timed me out... really just wanna cry aha."
And finally, one concluded: "@Ticketmaster @LiveNationUK please tell me why I got the end of the Harry Styles Edinburgh queue at 10.11am and didn’t get the choice of buying tickets but to get put to the back of a 63875 length queue."
Fans are also fuming at the fact that ticket resale website, Viagogo, are selling the tickets for Mr Styles' show for a hugely-inflated price - with some starting at a whopping £4,000.
One single ticket to the front pod of standing for Harry Styles' gig in Edinburgh on Friday, May 26 2023, is £4,661 - which is being claimed as face value for the ticket. The original price of the front pod standing ticket was £155.50, excluding booking fees.
Other prices for front normal standing tickets range from £305 to £885 per ticket, dependant on if you are searching for front or rear standing. Seats begin at £175, inflated massively from their original price of £51.75.
