RUSH IN DEMAND FOR TRAMLINES 2020 TICKETS AFTER HUGE SUCCESS LAST WEEKEND After an incredibly successful Tramlines in Hillsborough Park last weekend tickets for the 2020 event went on sale Monday (22/07) and over half of tickets were sold in less than 24 hours. Early bird tickets sold out in just minutes, but there were some reported problems when trying to purchase tickets for next year’s festival. Tramlines have confirmed that over half the tickets (around 15,000) have already sold for next year’s event, and that early bird
tickets sold out in just minutes. Speaking on Toby Foster’s BBC Radio Sheffield breakfast show Tramline’s Timm Cleasby said: “We’re fairly confident that it’s half the tickets. It’s completely bonkers. It’s wonderful that the people of Sheffield have enjoyed it so much that they’ve given us this demand and wanted to come back so early on. It’s such a lovely feeling to have, that we’ve done a good job.” Tramlines have confirmed that they are

working with the ticket sellers to make sure that everybody affected will have their issues resolved, and have asked that in the meantime, people contact the ticket seller directly, so they can deal with each issue on a case by case basis. Timm added: “It’s just been overwhelming demand. We were prepared to go on sale at six o’clock. Everyone was in place and the ticketing company had everything ready, and at ten to six we had 4,000 people on the website waiting to get tickets
and at six o’clock we had 7,000 people in the ticketing flow, so as you can imagine, that puts a bit of stress on all the systems. “Because there’s 7,000 people already in there, the people who got in super early probably got the tickets, but then as people have got them in their baskets making their purchases, other people have also got them in their baskets making their purchases, and unfortunately some of those people didn’t actually complete purchases, so there were
some issues, definitely. “If people have been charged twice, or if they’ve been charged and they’ve not had a confirmation, if they’ve bought tickets and the payments seems to have not completed and they’ve bought another set of tickets, then the ticketing company will work the people on a cases by case basis.
