Alstom has confirmed that tickets for The Greatest Gathering are set set to go back on sale following issues with the Mortons Media ticketing website last week.

Tickets originally went on sale on Friday last week, but sales were suspended a matter of hours later after many users received ‘Bad Gateway’ errors when trying to access the Mortons Media website.

Plenty of tickets remain available and will go back on sale tomorrow (5th February) at 9am

Based on last weeks demand, tickets wont be around for long and the new ticket website is being hosted by See Tickets, who are based in Nottingham.

See Tickets are used to hosting high demand ticket sales, having been responsible for selling tickets to Glastonbury, the Ryder Cup and Winter Wonderland.
