Today (Wednesday, November 5), Lily Allen West End Girl tour tickets went on presale, and sold out 'in minutes'.
Thousands of fans flocked to join the queues in the hope of securing tickets, but many were left empty-handed due to overwhelming demand.
One tweeted, "21,000th in the Lily Allen queue for presale in a venue that holds 2,200. Presales are a waste of time."
Another added, "Waited over 10 minutes in the queue only for all Lily Allen tickets to be gone... Gigs and Tours, I will beat you."
A third simply said, "Lily Allen Ticketmaster experience was an absolute nightmare."
As fans will know, the British songstress recently released heartbreak album West End Girl and it has swiftly become the soundtrack to our day.
Featuring hit songs including Tennis, Madeline, and Ruminating, Allen wrote and recorded the 14-track album in just 10 days.
Delving into topics such as infidelity, open relationships, and abandonment, it's an intimate look at the breakdown of her marriage to actor David Harbour - and has received rave reviews online.
To celebrate the new release, Allen will play the album in its entirety at some of the UK's biggest theatres, and we know where you can get tickets.

Fan hack to buy Lily Allen tickets
On Reddit, successful fans have shared their top tip for securing Lily Allen tickets in the upcoming general sale, so make sure to take note.
"I was 7,000th in the London queue and managed to get a ticket for the Sunday!" one user wrote. "The power of refreshing always has me covered."
Another agreed, as they shared: "I managed to get one ticket for Nottingham. I got in after 12 minutes on my laptop. I joined the waitlist and before logging off, refreshed a few times. One ticket suddenly appeared and I bought it."
A third said, "It's worth refreshing the Box Office link [multiple times], as the Gigs and Tours website was completely pointless."
If refreshing doesn't work for you, another Lily Allen fan had success after revisiting the original ticketing link.
"I went back to the original link in the email, which eventually, got me in," they wrote. "At first, the seating chart was all greyed out, but after several more attempts I managed to get a ticket, after about 40 minutes of trying.
"For anyone trying again on general sale, that’s what I’d recommend. Don't give up if it tells you it’s sold out, keep trying!"
