Huge demand for The 1975 Manchester gig as fans complain pre-sale link doesn't work

Thousands of music fans have reportedly tried to sign-up for presale tickets for The 1975's upcoming Manchester show this morning, with some complaining that the link to sign up for pre-sale doesn't work.

The small and intimate gig, which takes place at Gorilla on Whitworth Street on February 1, was announced by the band's frontman Matty Healy in December, leading fans to bombard the small music venue with requests for tickets. The gig, which is part of BRITS Week 2023 presented by Mastercard for War Child, takes place after the Manchester band's date at the AO Arena on Friday, 20 January.

Earlier this morning, details for pre-sale were shared across War Child and The 1975 and Gorilla's social accounts, with customers given the chance to sign up for pre-sale before midnight tonight in order to get tickets before they go on general sale on Friday. Gorilla also sent an an email round to its subscribers explaining when pre-sale will go live at 9am on Thursday, January 12, while general sale will be from 9am on Friday, January 13.
