Royal fans have been left fuming after Ticketmaster’s system for allocating tickets to the Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle threw people into confusion. The concert is due to be held on Sunday May 7, the day after King Charles is crowned, with members of the public able to attend the event if they entered into a ballot and were successfully allocated tickets. Ticketmaster had said that tickets would be allocated to all corners of the UK, however the company has been branded “shameful” after some people were unable to claim the tickets.

At lunchtime today many people were emailed to say they were successful in the ballot for a pair of tickets.
The messages came at 12.04pm and read: “Congratulations, you have been successful in the ballot for a pair of standing tickets to The Coronation Concert, At Windsor Castle on Sunday 7 May 2023.
“Tickets in this supplementary round are being offered to a randomly selected group of ballot winners on a first come first served basis, so you will need to act quickly in claiming your tickets to ensure you secure them.”
The email added: “You will have until 12:00 on 27th April to claim your tickets. If you do not claim your tickets by this date then they will be re-allocated.”
But just minutes later at 12.32pm, Ticketmaster tweeted to say the tickets had all gone.
