The Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour show in Glasgow has been cancelled due to technical reasons - after leaving ticket holders standing in the rain for hours.
The matinee show was set to begin at 1.30pm, but doors remained shut as guests were left in the rain for hours without information.
One social media user wrote: "Why are we standing in the rain outside the SSE Hydro waiting for production to let us in? 45 mins late - freezing! Poor show."
The Hydro tweeted: “We are sorry to say that due to a water leak which affected the stage area, today’s matinee has had to be cancelled. The team worked hard to resolve the problem which became apparent shortly before doors opened. The cause of which is unknown.

“We are sorry to say that due to a water leak which affected the stage area, today’s matinee has had to be cancelled. The team worked hard to resolve the problem which became apparent shortly before doors opened. The cause of which is unknown."
"We are liaising with the promoter of the event to reschedule the show, however refunds are available from point of purchase and we sincerely apologise to those affected."
Glasgow ticket holders were left standing outside the venue for nearly two hours before it was announced tonight's Live Tour performance would not be on.
One user told The Herald:"Left outside in the pouring rain for over 90 minutes with literally no information. Gutted Disgraceful that the hydro staff told no one information at all."
One social media user said: "Lack of communication is atrocious; kids crying everywhere and disabled amongst the hoards trying to get to the car park."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
