Fans fail to get Ricky Gervais tickets in Rickmansworth

The comic announced he will hold a material night next Thursday (July 28) in Watersmeet for his upcoming ‘Armageddon’ Netflix special.

While fans hoped that they could see the After Life star perform locally, many were unable to get their hands on tickets when they went on sale today at 10am.

He continued: “So the Watersmeet ticket never went on sale for mobile users… Lots of people missed out by the sounds of it. Any chance of a second date @RickyGervais?”

Paula Trevaskis said she had “three devices on the go, constantly refreshing” and was unable to buy a ticket.

Had 3 devices on the go, constantly refreshing. The Watersmeet website never changed from “on sale at 10am” to “book tickets”. Also called. How can they sell out when they never even went on sale? Gutted
