Global IT Outage Disrupts Ticket Sales for Manchester United
A global IT outage has temporarily halted ticket sales for Manchester United weeks before the Premier League season begins. This outage, affecting several organizations including banks and TV broadcasters, stems from issues with Microsoft servers. The club announced the postponement of ticket releases until midday due to the disruption, alongside the temporary unavailability of their website.
Other football clubs have also felt the impact. Crystal Palace has delayed their ticket sales for a week, and several EFL and Scottish top-flight clubs have reported disruptions. Microsoft attributes the problem to a third-party software update and is working swiftly to resolve the issue, assuring affected users that a solution is imminent.
Manchester United remains in constant communication with fans, promising updates on ticket availability and potential further delays. Meanwhile, affected fans are encouraged to stay tuned to their digital platforms for the latest information.
