CAPE TOWN – SA event ticket seller Computicket crashed on Thursday morning after sales for British artist Ed Sheeran’s South African tour opened to the general public.
Computicket’s website said online sales will be reopened at 10:30 unless the “situation changes”. Tickets are still, however, available at Shoprite and Checkers stores.
“Public tickets have been placed on hold due to technical difficulties. We will advise as soon as the problem has been resolved,” Computicket tweeted at 08:30.
“Thank you for your understanding.”
