Royal fans hoping to attend King Charles’ Coronation Concert later this year have been left confused as they ‘can’t find’ the submit button on the ballot form.
There are 10,000 free tickets available for the musical event that is set to feature ‘icons and contemporary stars’ at Windsor Castle in May.
But members of the public have taken to Twitter to share their outrage after filling out the entire form just to discover the submit button on Ticketmaster’s website is hidden.
One person tweeted: ‘Can’t get coronation concert ballot ticket site to work – no submit button!’
Another shared: ‘Where is the submit button for the ballot form coronation concert.’
The televised show will be on May 7, the day after King Charles is crowned at Westminster Abbey.
There are 10,000 free tickets available for King Charles III’s Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle in May – but fans are struggling to submit their completed forms
Hopeful members of the public took to Twitter to complain about being unable to apply for tickets to the Coronation Concert due to the submit button not appearing
The submit button is appearing for some users and is still there and can be clicked on, even if it is not visible.
People who have not been able to complete a form also have plenty of time to do so, as the ballot is not first come, first served.
Entries for the draw will close at the end of February and recipients will be chosen at random from all those who have put their names forward.
There are 5,000 pairs of tickets in the ballot, which opened at 7am this morning, and each applicant in the ballot will be able to nominate a guest.
People must be 18 or over to apply for a ticket, with the guests required to be over 11.
The tickets will be allocated based on the geographical spread of the UK population, the BBC said, with those successful notified by late April.
The coronation of King Charles III will see a resplendent crowning in London, a dazzling concert and street parties across the UK as the new monarch seeks to portray himself as ‘the people’s King’ .
The official crowning will take place on May 6 at Westminster Abbey where His Majesty will shun royal garb in favour of military clothing, in a bid to update the ceremony.
A procession will then lead the newly-crowned King past thousands of people who will line the streets to Buckingham Palace, where he will then join members of his family on the balcony to wave at the masses.

King Charles III, pictured here as he left the State Opening of Parliament in Westminster in 2016, is set to put his own stamp on the coronation this year
Charles was said to be happy to wear the same garments as his great-grandfather George V, pictured here in his coronation robes with his wife Mary of Teck, but aides are said to have dissuaded him from doing so
The next day Windsor Castle will host a concert which will be televised around the world, with thousands of street parties earlier in the afternoon as people gather to celebrate the occasion. This will be followed by a Bank Holiday on Monday, with millions of people set to get a day off work.
Tens of thousands of people are expected to line the streets for the once in a generation coronation procession, with the Firm hoping the crowds will rival those seen for Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September.
The coronation, which takes place on the first weekend of May this year, will see Charles champion refugees, diversity and volunteering.
It will begin with the crowning of Charles and Camilla, the queen consort, on Saturday, May 6.
The ceremony at Westminster Abbey will be preceded by a procession from Buckingham Palace to the abbey.
A total of 10,000 tickets are up for grabs for the Coronation Concert
The path will be lined by members of the armed forces including sailors, soldiers and airmen and women.
The Prince and Princess of Wales are expected to take part in the procession, possibly with their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, along with their children Archie and Lilibet, may also feature.
The Earl of Wessex and Princess Royal are expected to take part as Prince Charles’ siblings. It is thought Prince Andrew may also play a role – although it is unknown whether he will be able to wear military uniform, as he and Harry are no longer working royals.
In a break with tradition, Queen Consort Camilla will be crowned alongside her husband by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
The BBC and Ticketmaster have been contacted for a comment.
