Country singer Luke Combs is set to perform at Murrayfield – though it seems getting tickets may be quite the task.
The 35-year-old is heading to the capital on July 25 next year, as part of his My Kinda Saturday Night tour. Advanced pre-sale tickets were released on Tuesday, October 14, at 10am.
Pre-sale and general tickets are released on Wednesday and Thursday, but it looks like many keen fans have already been left empty handed. It was claimed that the online queue stalled, before displaying an error message and accusing fans of being a bot.
A Ticketmaster spokesperson told Edinburgh Live that fans should consider only using one tab, clearning their cookies, and ensuring they aren’t using a VPN software. They also said this was a ‘very popular presale’ and they expected wait times to be long.
One fuming fan posted on X: “I waited online and got to the front of the queue for Luke Combs tickets at Murrayfield to be kicked out.
“Absolutely a joke of a company. I done all the maintenance before the tickets even went on sale.”
Another added: “Why was it easier to get Taylor Swift tickets than it is Luke Combs????”

“Finally found two together but keep getting this error.”
A fourth commented: “Has anyone’s Ticketmaster queue stalled for Luke Combs for Edinburgh?”
‘Absolutely a joke’
Yet another angry fan said: “It shouldn’t be so impossible to see the musicians you like.
“9000 still in the Edinburgh Luke Combs ticket queue an hour after pre sale started?”
