TRNSMT queues for Glasgow Green have been slammed as a 'shambles' and a 'living nightmare' as gig-goers 'jump fences' and 'lift barriers' to enter.
Shocking video footage and images shared online show hoards of revellers stood in the mid-afternoon sun amid claims there were 'no stewards whatsoever' and that 'it took two hours' for water to be handed out.
One clip shared with the Daily Record shows droves of gig-goers stood with little-to-no movement other than the odd person jumping over barriers to seemingly skip the queue.
Some fuming punters are demanding refunds after missing either some or all of the acts they forked out to see.

One wrote: "We’ve been queuing for an hours in it now. There are no stewards whatsoever, so people are jumping the fences.
"People are being squashed and we’re still no further forward. There’s no one handing out water.
"It’s shocking."
Another commented: "An hour and 40 minutes to get through East Gate. Complete lack of stewards.
"Totally unsafe. People jumping barriers and moving them to form other queues."
Another furious reveller posted: "Shocking. How is this safe for anyone, to be standing in a queue for that long on a hot day?
"Very disappointing."
One woman who has also been in the queue since early this afternoon claims she heard one of the companies providing staff for the festival cancelled earlier today.
She added: "A steward just told us that one of the companies cancelled this morning. Explains the lack of stewards and the shambles."
Carole cooke posted: "Where can I get a part refund for my ticket as organisation at site is dreadful? Have been queuing for hours and missed the acts I came for."
Holly Pearce added: "Please say you are refunding us at least partially? This queue is literally a living nightmare.
"I didn’t pay £200 to look at the back of peoples dead trims for three hours."
David Jones wrote: "Water being delivered finally. It took two hours.
"Still stuck in a queue. Stewards reerrecting barriers.
"Many in this queue were told to come here because main entrance was too busy. We've missed hours of the festival."
Steph Clark posted: "Long queues at two entrances. Spend £1000 on five weekend tickets but take your time getting here.
"Absolute shambles. Been in the queue since 1pm."
A spokesperson from TRNSMT told Glasgow Live: "There are currently longer than average waiting times for fans entering the festival. Our welfare teams are handing out water to those queuing and we're doing our best to get everyone through security and inside as quickly and safely as possible.
"We're grateful for the patience of those waiting, and ask anyone who need assistance to get the attention of the stewards or welfare teams."
Around 50,000 people are expected to be attending TRNSMT on Saturday to watch more huge names, including The Strokes and The Snuts. Police confirmed earlier that a number of arrests were made at the festival on Friday.
Officers said ten people were apprehended. A 13-year-old girl and and nine men, aged between 17 and 53, were arrested in connection with minor acts of disorder.
