Thousands of disappointed Peter Kay fans look set to miss out on tickets for his Newcastle shows.
Ticketmaster, Seetickets and Gigs and Tours all put fans into huge online queues as tickets went on sale on Saturday morning.
By 10.30am, fans reported on social media that thousands of fans were in front of them in the queues, leaving their chance of securing tickets unlikely.

One posted a screenshot of their Ticketmaster page, which stated a warning that "Due to overwhelming demand for this show, ticket availability is now extremely limited and some ticket options will be unavailable."
Gigs and Tours page showed tickets were no longer available for Newcastle shows by 10.38am. Seetickets showed the same when ChronicleLive checked at 10.40am.
Andy, from South Shields, tweeted: "75000th in the queue for Peter Kay. The dream is over."
Also on Twitter, Anna posted: "55137 in the queue for Newcastle. Looks like I'll be buying the DVD and 60 bottles of champagne instead."
Many are calling for Peter to add more Newcastle dates in light of his huge popularity in the North East.
Hannah posted: "Howay Newcastle announce extra dates!!"
"Announce another week at Newcastle," added Jamie from Seaham.
Reece Hepple added: "Think Peter Kay should have booked SJP! The demand up in Newcastle is crazy."
Comedian Lee Ridley, otherwise known as Lost Voice Guy, joked: ""Bet Phil [Schofield] and Holly [Willoughby] didn't have to queue for Peter Kay tickets"
Earlier this week Peter Kay added extra dates in Manchester and Birmingham due to high demand during a pre-sale. There is space in his schedule for more shows in Newcastle, although as yet nothing has been confirmed.
