Glasgow Lewis Capaldi fans have been left fuming after a 'shameful' presale for his upcoming gigs.

The Scottish star announced a string of concert dates in June 2025 following his two-year hiatus. 

As part of his UK arena tour, the Someone You Loved singer will perform at Glasgow's OVO Hydro on September 13.

The 28-year-old will also host gigs in Sheffield, Aberdeen, London, Manchester, Birmingham, Nottingham, and Cardiff.

Presale tickets for the shows went on sale on Tuesday, July 8; however, many fans have been left disgruntled. 

Loads of Capaldi's supporters have taken to X to claim the presale for the musician's gigs, including his Glasgow one, was chaos, with one stating it was 'shameful'.

One person fumed: "This Lewis Capaldi Glasgow queue is making me lose my mind. Been frozen for about 10 minutes, hurry up."

 

 

Another said: "Gutted not to get Lewis Capaldi tickets in the presale. This reseller's s**t has to stop.

"One hour after the artist presale, and they're on Viagogo for £110 more than face value."

A third wrote: "Waited 30 minutes for O2 Priority for Lewis Capaldi and it kicked me out and then wouldn't let me sign in. 

"Lewis, do Hampden please or add an extra Glasgow night."

A fourth angry fan said: "I want my money back for the CD I bought for the pre-sale, that was absolutely shameful.

"Absolute joke. People buying extra tickets just to scam people should be ashamed." 

Meanwhile, another added: "I can't believe my Taylor Swift ticket was cheaper than my Lewis Capaldi ticket."

 

 

A sixth went on to rage: "Why is it an actual mission to try and get tickets to a gig these days?

"No Lewis Capaldi for me, not even attempting the general sale on Thursday, 'cause the presale's been a big enough joke."
