Britney Spears fans are hoping for better success in acquiring tickets for her new UK tour after the website crashed during pre-sale.

The singer sparked excitement following her announcement that she is to return to the UK for the first time in seven years for a string of live shows as part of her famed Las Vegas 'Piece of Me' tour.

Her shows will include performances at London's O2 Arena and Brighton Pride.

The hopes of fans with access to pre-sale codes were dashed, however, when website LiveNation crashed when tickets went on sale.

After rapidly selling out, many were left angry and disappointed when tickets became available on other websites for bloated prices.


Spears's other dates include shows at the Scarborough Open Air Theatre, the Manchester Arena, 3Arena in Dublin and SEE Hydro in Glasgow throughout August.
