Festival-goers have been forced to wait for over two hours to get into Glasgow festival TRNSMT on Saturday.
Queues have surrounded Glasgow Green going from the main entrance on Saltmarket around the length of Greendyke Street.
However, long queues are also being reported at the East entrance where people had been redirected from the main one.
TRNSMT welfare team handed out water to those waiting in the long lines, but many have hit out on social media stating they had "missed hours" of the festival.
One Twitter user said: "Water being delivered finally. It took 2 hours.
"Still stuck in queue. Stewards re-errecting barriers.
"Many in this queue were told to come here because main entrance was too busy. We've missed hours of the festival."
Another Twitter user, Pauline McAleer, labelled it "absolute shambles".
Absolute shambles at the @TRNSMTfest queue. Total chaos, no stewards, no idea what’s going on. #TRNSMT2022 #trnsmt pic.twitter.com/KkOj7Sk96m

A spokesperson for TRNSMT said: "There are currently longer than average waiting times for fans entering the festival.
"Our welfare teams are handing out water to those queuing and we're doing our best to get everyone through security and inside as quickly and safely as possible.
"We're grateful for the patience of those waiting, and ask anyone who needs assistance to get the attention of the Stewards or welfare teams.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
