Biffy Clyro announced a Hard Rock Cafe concert date in Dubai this April and people lost all chill.<\/p>\n

The three-piece Scottish rock group has a loyal fanbase, many of whom were eager to get their hand on tickets\u00a0to the show.<\/p>\n

Early bird tickets were announced at AED300, you could put your name on a list and\u00a0pre-register an email as soon as these tickets went on sale.<\/p>\n

Once early bird tickets are gone, the price ups to AED350 before the final selling price of AED 400.<\/p>\n

Lovin Dubai spoke to one disgruntled resident who outlined the ticketing chaos…<\/h3>\n
\n

“Last week they told people to pre-register for early bird tickets.<\/p>\n

An email went out to that list saying: One day next week you will get an email, at 9am the following day you’ll get early bird tickets.<\/p>\n

No email went out, but they posted on social to “rearrange your Wednesday”, tickets were going on sale at 9am on Weds (no email).<\/p>\n

Wednesday, 9am, no tickets on sale… In the AFTERNOON, like at 4pm or so, they posted a message saying sorry there’s an issue, tickets tomorrow.<\/p>\n

No mention of time etc, just “tomorrow”.<\/p>\n

Thursday, no tickets, finally at around 4pm the email went out, early bird gone right away so everyone had to get the more expensive ones.<\/p>\n

Absolute disaster!”<\/p>\n

And many residents in a similar position took to social media to voice their feelings<\/h3>\n

After fans were told to ‘rearrange’ their Wednesday to nab early bird tickets…<\/p>\n
