Lewis Capaldi has hit back at people who attempt to resell his tickets above the face value price.
The Forget Me singer announced world tour for 2023 ahead of this second album release, titled, Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent, and will be in performing in Glasgow on January 24 at OVO Hydro.
On Thursday October 27, his presale tickets went in a flash and on Friday when general sales opened, the star announced that the gig was 'sold out in seconds.'

Devastated fans have tweeted the singer begging for extra dates to be added and others have spotted tickets are being sold for a staggering price in comparison the original cost on websites such as Viagogo. And Lewis has already responded saying he will do 'all he can' to cancel the tickets.
Looking on Viagogo, we found tickets for Lewis' Glasgow show with standing tickets priced from £163 and reach a whopping £1,180.
One fan replied to Lewis' initial social media post about the gig selling out and said: "They might of sold out in seconds, but how is fair people can’t get tickets on presale but people have already have them on Viagogo for an obscene amount of money."
With it she shared a screenshot of a ticket on the lower tier seating area in another venue on sale for a whopping £7823 per ticket.
One person replied: "That's criminal!"
To which Lewis then said: "It's not fair and I hate it more than anyone. If there was a single good way to completely stop it every artist would as no good comes from it."
He later added: "It's not fair at all, it's f****** awful in fact. Will continue to do all I can to get the (happily) relatively small per cent of people who take the **** get the tickets cancelled and re-added at face value where possible x."
Lewis has also said that he is "not making a single penny" off tickets. He replied to a tweet saying: "to play in an arena costs so so so much more than small shows so every bit of the money is being spent to make them the best they can be."
This comes after fans are begging for an extra Glasgow date to be added but the singer has already confirmed that no other dates will be added. In a statement he said: "There won't be any extra dates for any cities. I really wish I could but I'm just one small chubby human who has to try and get to see as many of you all over the world as possible."
"A spokesperson for Lewis Capaldi aid: Lewis is incredibly grateful to everyone who bought tickets for the tour, either in the pre-sale earlier this week or on general sale today. He kept ticket prices as low as possible to cover the costs of taking what will be an incredible show to as many arenas in the UK as he can.
"We are aware of tickets being advertised on unofficial sites at inflated prices. Fans should note that there is no guarantee a purchase from such outlets will secure entry to the concert and that many of these are likely to be speculative adverts for tickets the seller does not actually own. Anyone looking for resale tickets should only use Twickets or the official Ticketmaster fan-to-fan resale site at https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/ticket-exchange, which only allow re-sale up to the original face value.”
A spokesperson from Viagogo said: "At viagogo we want fans to have the options and flexibility they deserve for buying and selling tickets to live events. The high demand for Lewis Capaldi’s tour is not a surprise, given the pent up anticipation, and once the initial excitement settles, so too will the market.
"The listing prices are not necessarily an indication of what a fan will spend, and we encourage buyers to know what value they put on being at the live show and monitor our marketplace for something that suits their budget. Tickets for this tour have sold for an average of £105 for Aberdeen and £127 for Glasgow.”
