Beloved comedian Peter Kay is facing a wave of criticism from his most loyal fans after implementing a stringent no-resale policy for his hugely anticipated comeback tour.
The 'Car Share' star's triumphant return to the stage has been marred by frustration, as supporters who can no longer attend their booked shows are discovering they cannot officially transfer or resell their tickets. The strict terms, enforced by Ticketmaster, mean tickets are completely non-transferable, locking many fans out.
Furious devotees have taken to social media to voice their disappointment, labelling the policy as "unfair" and "insensitive" to real-life circumstances that prevent attendance. Many feel trapped, unable to recoup their costs or offer their seats to other eager fans.
The controversy centres on Kay's mammoth run of dates at Manchester's AO Arena, one of the many venues on his extensive UK tour. While designed to combat profiteering from ticket touts, the policy has inadvertently punished genuine fans, creating a significant public relations challenge for the usually unimpeachable comic.
