To walk away with the coveted tickets, fans didn't just have to dress the part—they also had to prove their knowledge by answering Lewis Capaldi-themed trivia questions. From knowing his favourite Greggs snacks to details about his songs, only true superfans made it through.
Seven-year-old Chelsey, who waited with her mum Stephanie from around 3pm, arrived dressed to embody the essence of the Someone You Loved singer.
Both braved the Glasgow weather for hours, having missed out on tickets when they first went on sale.
Stephanie said she was 'so excited' to see Capaldi live but admitted she was still in shock at being a lucky winner.
Chelsey shared that she was most excited to hear Before You Go, as 'she's always singing it' at home.

Chloe, from Balloch, who was also waiting in the queue, said she hoped to win as she's been a fan of the Glasgow-born star since she was fourteen.
She shared: 'He's helped me through a lot with his music.
'A lot of the same struggles he's spoken about—like tics—are things I've dealt with too. I get emotional thinking about it. It means a lot to me.'
Chloe went all out in full Capaldi attire—leopard print bucket hat, bedazzled sunglasses, a jumper reading "big sexy," and a red tutu.

Dressed as the 'iconic' Capaldi—complete with a towel on the head and sunglasses—they impressed both the crowd and the judges.

Amy explained: 'They were really hard to get."
In order to bag the tickets, Amy was asked which Greggs item best matched the mood of a Capaldi breakup song, she answered 'a yum yum'—calling it the ultimate comfort food.
Videos captured by The Glasgow Times show that even after all the tickets were handed out, hopeful fans were still lined up around the building, eager for a chance to see their idol.

Donald Trump thanks Sean Connery as he opens his second golf course in Aberdeenshire
The US President praised First Minister John Swinney as a "terrific guy" after they met at dinner last night. Donald Trump paid tribute to the late Scots acting legend Sean Connery as he opened his new golf course in Aberdeenshire today. Speaking on the first tee, the US President made a pointed reference to the high-profile planning row in the mid-2000s which delayed the opening of Trump International Golf Links. And the Republican leader also praised First Minister John Swinney as a "terrific guy" after having dinner with him last night. Trump told invited guests and media at his Menie Estate: "I was just want to thank everybody, this has been an unbelievable development. The land, they said, couldn't get zoned, it was an impossibility. "And Sean Connery said 'let the bloody bloke build his golf course. Once he said that, everything came into line. John and I were talking about it last night." Connery reportedly said in 2008: "During tough economic times, this is a major vote of confidence in Scotland's tourist industry and our ability to rise to the challenge. I look forward to seeing a new gem in the north-east that is good for Aberdeenshire and good for Scotland.' The Edinburgh-born actor, a huge golf fan, never played the resort before his death in 2020. David Milne, a near neighbour of the Trump golf course, later said the claim that Connery helped him land planning permission for his golf resort was 'utter bollocks'. Swinney raised the situation in Gaza with Donald Trump during a meeting this morning, the Record understands. The leaders spoke for around 15 minutes, before posing together for pictures in front of a US flag and the saltire of Scotland ahead of the opening of a second course at the president's golf club in Aberdeenshire.

Keeley's rudest role yet: EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE
was quick to grab some Lioness limelight at Downing Street in the absence of the PM, who now faces the dilemma: How to reward the football heroines? Tony Blair loved celebrity gongings, honouring the entire England World Cup rugby-winning team in 2003 and the 2005 Ashes winners. When yachtswoman Ellen MacArthur broke the record for the fastest circumnavigation of the globe Blair rushed through a damehood within 24 hours. Will Starmer follow suit? At least the women footballers should do better than their cricketing counterparts. Former left-arm spinner Alex Hartley has a floodlight pylon named in her honour. England bowler Kate Cross has had temporary loos at Old Trafford named after her. Following the Euro 2025 triumph, proud Scot Andrew Neil clarifies: 'I was cheering on the England team... I have nothing but scorn for the schoolboy nationalist view in Scotland that they'll support any team against England, even if the team's North Korea, Afghanistan or Iran. I think that's a pathetic attitude.' Paisley-born Andrew adds: 'I'm proud as a Scot of my country's heritage, I'm proud of my British national heritage too.' No news of the bunting out in Glasgow, alas... With England's men not having picked up a major trophy since 1966 is it time for the Football Association to have a rebrand? The three lions badge, worn by men and women, features three maned male big cats. Time for the mane-less females to get a look-in perhaps. Like their footballing counterparts, feline lionesses are stealthier, faster and better at teamwork and tactics than the males. Who knows, even the famously maneless Prince William, president of the FA, might back a change. Keeley Hawes, pictured, didn't waste any time getting into nasty mode playing a killer in Prime's The Assassin. 'The series opens with a dog yapping at me on a beach and my first line is: 'What the f*** are you looking at, you little c***?' We used a version without the C-word in the end but you know from the off that this isn't a family show. It's my most sweary role yet.' Subversive musical satirist Tom Lehrer, who has died aged 97, was a favourite of Princess Margaret – 'She thought I was Danny Kaye, whom she fancied,' Lehrer recalled. He notoriously wrote a romantic song about a lover who murdered his girlfriend and kept her hand. 'The night you died I cut it off/ I really don't know why/ For now each time I kiss it/ I get bloodstains on my tie.' Forty-five years after Peter Sellers suffered a fatal heart attack in the Dorchester, his friend director Joe McGrath remembers summoning a doctor to his Shelbourne Hotel suite in Dublin after an earlier minor cardiac arrest. As Sellers lay gasping on a sofa, McGrath opened the door to admit the medic. 'The doctor took one look at me and said Mr Sellers you don't look at all well,' chuckles McGrath.
