Thousands of music fans leaving My Chemical Romance's Glasgow Summer Sessions concert at Bellahouston Park on Saturday night (July 4) claimed they were left "stranded" after lengthy queues formed outside Ibrox Subway station. Despite organisers confirming the Subway would remain open until 1am on concert nights, many attendees reported the station closed while hundreds were still waiting.
Social Media Fury Over Subway Closure
Concert-goers took to social media to vent their frustration. A TikTok video by user @pah_der17 showed large crowds gathered outside the station, captioned: "Closed the subway while hundreds were queuing." The footage depicted fans sitting on the pavement or checking phones for alternative routes home.
One commenter fumed: "Mental how in 2026 public transport canni be 24/7 or at least run into the early hours." Another claimed: "Even ubers/taxis were ridiculous, had no choice but to pay £53 for a 15 min journey from the subway to garscadden. F**king jokeeeee."
Extended Hours Advertised But Not Delivered
Ahead of Glasgow Summer Sessions, organisers stated the Subway would run until 1am on concert nights, with ScotRail adding extra carriages on trains between Dumbreck and Glasgow Central. However, attendees claimed services fell short. One wrote: "Trains were the same we were told extra trains were put on and not a single train showed up for over an hour to then find out the one everyone was waiting on was the very last one."
Another criticised the discrepancy: "It was advertised clearly that for all summer sessions it would be running until 1... but then didn't? that's crazy."
Mixed Reactions to Complaints
Not all agreed with the criticism. One user stated: "Stranded is a bit of an exaggeration, barely an hour walk to the city centre." Another added: "Primark doesn't stay open because there are loads of customers... There was the option to pre-book coaches or book a taxi."
