Tickets for Lewis Capaldi's upcoming 2023 UK tour have sold out in a matter of seconds, according to the Glaswegian superstar. Within just a few moments of the tickets going on sale on Friday, October 28, all UK venues - including Cardiff - had sold out on Ticketmaster and See Tickets, with many people left waiting in online queues of over 30,000.
It isn't the first time this week that fans of the Forget Me singer have been left disappointed. Thousands entered the waiting rooms and online queues for pre-sale tickets for the tour which went live on Wednesday, October 26, but those tickets also sold out in seconds.
Taking to Twitter on Wednesday, the music star said: "PRE-SALE SOLD OUT IN SECONDS. am speechless... 3 years away and had no idea what to expect... you all just SOLD OUT the entire uk & europe pre-sale in literally seconds."

On Friday, he sent a similar message which read: "ENTIRE UK TOUR SOLD OUT IN A SINGLE SECOND at 9AM, completely lost for words thank u all so so so much".
His rapid sell-out shows comes as no surprise as, despite his raging success, the 26-year-old Scot promised fans ahead of the tour that he would keep ticket prices as low as he possibly could so that all could afford his show amid the cost of living crisis. Prices ranged from £47.30 to £70.
The star, who came to Cardiff earlier this year and performed at Cardiff Castle, also took to Twitter to apologise to fans who missed out on the chance to see the international hit-maker perform and to confirm that there "won't be any extra dates for any cities".
He said: "I really wish I could but I'm just one small chubby human who has to try to get to see as many of you all over the world as possible."
The Glaswegian singer will be coming to Cardiff International Arena - previously known as the Motorpoint Arena - on Wednesday, February 1, 2023 for his Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent world tour. He will also be making his way to Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield, London, Liverpool, Glasgow and more as well cities across Europe - such as Warsaw, Vienna, Berlin and Amsterdam -America and Australia.
This much-anticipated multi-stop tour comes soon after the singer made his welcome return to the UK music charts with his first song in nearly three years, that went straight to number one - his third single to reach that spot. The silver-certified hit single Forget Me is approaching 100 million streams globally.
His brand new album which shares the name of his 2023 tour, will be out on May 19, 2023 and follows on from his debut, Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent, which was released in May 2019. It became the biggest selling UK album of both 2019 and 2020.
