Canadians trying to take advantage of the Live Nation Concert Week deal are struggling with technical issues on Ticketmaster.
The entertainment company is celebrating the 10th year of its annual Concert Week, which is when fans in Canada and the US can buy $25 tickets to their fave concert or comedy show.
This year, Canadian concertgoers could cop cheap tickets to over 5,000 Live Nation shows taking place all year long.
However, many customers were met with Ticketmaster crashing Wednesday morning as they tried to secure their seats.
“Of course [Ticketmaster] crashes when running this Live Nation Concert Week deal,” reads one post on X.

Many were triggered, having experienced these problems for past concerts.
“It’s amazing how, after so many debacles, [Ticketmaster] still can’t get their sh&t together. In the queue, my turn to buy tickets and… PAGE NOT FOUND. To the back of the line with you! F**king joke,” added another frustrated customer.
