Furious Glasgow concertgoers have called out the OVO Hydro after claiming they were denied access to Stormzy's gig after the venue 'ran out of wristbands'.
While fans gained entry into the venue after having their tickets scanned at the front doors, they were not issued with the necessary wristbands, meaning they weren't allowed into their section.
Reports have surfaced of chaotic scenes as a result, with some said to have tried to "grab the bands off others" to make sure they got in to their section of the venue for the show.
Karine McGowan, 51, from Paisley, told the Daily Record: "My daughter and her two friends paid £180 to see Stormzy at the Hydro in Glasgow tonight but weren't allowed in because they weren't issued with wristbands.
"They battled it out for two hours but left upset and angry. Everyone was people complaining about not getting wristbands.
"The staff were no help at all and it's a lot of money to waste and a huge disappointment to teenagers, especially through difficult economical and mentally challenging.
"They should have been given the wristband when their tickets were scanned but they were letting some of them in after scanning their ticket and never gave them a band.
"The fans wouldn’t even have known they should have got a wristband when going in."
A mother took to Twitter to say she had been left "out of pocket with a very disappointed daughter" as a result of the fiasco.
Agnes Donnelly tweeted: "My daughter and her friend have been refused entry because their tickets were apparently scanned already.
"This is absolutely disgusting and disappointing. I hope this will be investigated as I am now out of pocket with a very disappointed daughter!"
She was joined by another mother who said the wristband issue left her daughter "so upset".
Suzanne Barton tweeted: "Why did lots of people get turned away from Stormzy last night with valid tickets?
"There was an issue with wristbands and security were horrible and turning people away. My daughter was so upset."
An SEC spokesperson said: “We are aware of the small number of social media posts which have appeared in relation to the Stormzy event.
"We would urge anyone who feels they’ve been wrongfully denied entry to get in touch via our website, and we will investigate this as a matter of urgency.”
