Ticketmaster: Is Ticketmaster down, is there an issue with card payments and how to get tickets to Sugababes and The Vamps

Fans have been clamouring to see the group on their reunion tour, having recently performed at Glastonbury Festival.

Crowds flowed out of the tent during the Sugababes performance.

Although, with the high demand to buy tickets, the website Ticketmaster is reported to be experiencing some problems.

Here is all you need to know:
