Rihanna causes mayhem and for once it's got nothing to do with her nakedness - Mirror.co.uk

There's been an uncharacteristic amount of grrr-ing occurring on what is usually a day of rest (not for us, obviously, we never stop typing, can't help it).

So why all the anger on a sunny Sunday? It's all down to technical difficulties over at Radio 1's Hackney Weekend website, which has crashed because of the huge numbers of people trying to get their hands on some free tickets. We all love something for nothing after all.

Fans have been reporting "access denied" messages and hour long waits as they try and get tickets for the two-day concert, which will be headlined by Rihanna and Jay Z and will therefore be totally awesome.

Jay Z thinks the whole thing is really rather funny

 

There are 50,000 tickets available for both June 23 and 24 and most have been reserved for people living in Hackney and the Olympic boroughs.

Tickets for those outside of London had sold out by 1pm, but more will be released tomorrow.

Radio 1 DJs have been apologising on air throughout the day and a message on the station's Twitter read: "We're aware that some of you are experiencing problems booking tickets,"

"We're working hard to get this fixed as soon as possible." It asked fans to "bear with us".

The site seems to be up and running properly now. For the line up and to have a go and getting your paws on Rihanna – well tickets to see her anyway, have a lookie here.
