Sam Fender delays Newcastle ticket pre-sale after bot attack

Singer Sam Fender has pushed back the pre-sale for his 2027 homecoming shows at St James' Park in Newcastle by 24 hours after a 'sophisticated bot attack' reportedly hit ticketing site Gigantic. The 32-year-old shared the update on Instagram. Days earlier, he had pulled a ticket category from sale, saying he was unhappy with the costs fans faced.
