However, fans were left disgruntled as they claim official ticket retailer Ticketmaster had continuously crashed as they tried to purchase tickets for the gigs.
While some managed to still get their hands on the coveted tickets, others were forced to miss out entirely due to technical issues.
Some fans, however, found themselves with more tickets than they bargained for, as a result of the pandemonium.
Venting their fury on Twitter, Spice Girls fans penned: 'Absolutely gutted I cant get @spicegirls tickets for my mum's bday page just kept crashing its crazy.
'2 hours later, getting kick out numerous amounts of times and I’m finally going to see the Spice Girls.
'Got to the verified by visa part and the site crashed lost my ticket!!
'Finally got through on #ticketmaster and ended up buying far more tickets than I needed out of fear the site may crash. But who cares, I'm going to see the @spicegirls.

'How are people on here actually getting @spicegirlstickets.. I was in queue from the first second of release for Ticketmaster to crash 70 times and then put the price up by £80 gonna have to say goodbye my friend to that.'
MailOnline have contacted a representative for Ticketmaster for comment.
The girls are set to perform across the UK at stadiums located in Manchester, Coventry, Sunderland, Edinburgh, Bristol and London.
They have been busy promoting their 2019 tour after announcing their reunion - much to the delight of fans - with reports claiming the girls will earn $2.8 million (£2.2m) apiece by the time their tour wraps up.
Victoria Beckham will be noticeably absent from the tour - after choosing not to reunite with the Spice Girls as she remains focused on her fashion business.
According to Ticketmaster, the Spice Girls are selling VIP tickets to their shows for a huge £295. The pricey sum will get fans the best seats in the house, with some souvenir gifts thrown in for good measure - but the price excludes fees.

It includes a seat in the Gold Circle at the front of the stage, a Spice Girls 2019 VIP tour laminate, an exclusive limited edition Girl Power enamel pin badge. There's also a VIP gift bag and a commemorative 2019 postcard set.
Other tickets can be picked up for £55 (with a £5 surcharge for the girlband's London dates).
However, amid the chaos that ensued when tickets were released on sale, VIP packages have now seen top Spice Girls tickets being reportedly touted on resale sites for a whopping £2083.
Usual seating that ranges from £55 to around £180 were being flogged for prices ranging between £149 to £1197 on Viagogo - just two hours after the original tickets went on sale at 10.30am.
The Spice Girls were originally expected to net £10million each from the tour however it has now been reported that they would earn £2.2million.
According to TMZ, they will each make nearly £418,000 per show. Although they could potentially bring in more cash should the shows spur on a possible world tour and rake in up to £5m each.
Although fashion designer Victoria, 44, won't be joining the girls on tour, she still took time out to release a statement on the exciting announcement.

Taking to Instagram, she said: 'Being in the Spice Girls was a hugely important part of my life and I wish my girls so much love and fun as they go back on tour,' said the mother-of-four.
'I know they will put on an amazing show and the fantastic fans past and present are going to have a wonderful time!'
Mel B teased that Victoria will be joining them on their Wembley date, but her spokesperson has insisted she was just being playful.
Meanwhile, Mel C recently revealed during an interview with the Spice Girls on the Jonathan Ross Show that Victoria pointed out she was 'never actually asked' if she wanted to return to the girlband.
She explained: 'Do you know what is actually quite funny… I saw Victoria recently and obviously we’ve all been in contact, she is still very much a part of the Spice Girls, she really supports us and we really support her.
'But she did raise the point that she was never actually asked. We just presumed.'
Much debate: Her decision not to join the reunion has led to much debate between the Spice Girls with Mel C claiming Victoria pointed out she was 'never actually asked'
This caused an interjection from Emma, in disagreement to Mel, insisting that she was indeed asked.
'She just didn’t want to do it… She was busy with her fashion and she has moved on.
'The philosophy of us lot is that we are a band, on and off the stage and we care each other, we support each other and we support her and she has been a huge part of our lives and we care about her so it’s all good.'
Geri added: 'I spoke to her two days ago, before the announcement, and she has said it for years that she just doesn’t want to do it anymore, so we knew that.'
Since the girls' last reformation - 2012's performance at the London Olympic Games closing ceremony - rumours have swirled about the band's potential reformation for a full tour, sparking further whisperings that Victoria was never a fan of performing.
Back in their hey day: The Spice Girls shot to fame in the early '90s and found themselves at the top of the charts in 37 countries with their debut single Wannabe, released in 1996
Memorable: Fans will no doubt remember the girls' performance at the London 2012 Olympics closing ceremony, where they arrived into the arena stood on black taxis
Geri cleared this matter up when asked by Jonathan: 'No, and you don’t want to make somebody do something they don’t want to do.'
The Spice Girls shot to fame in the early '90s and found themselves at the top of the charts in 37 countries with their debut single Wannabe, released in 1996.
The band split in 2000, two years after Geri announced her departure from the band. They later reunited in 2007, delighting fans with their The Return Of The Spice Girls world tour, before performing at the London 2012 Olympics closing ceremony.
Since then, speculation has been rife that the girls will be re-forming, with rumours reaching fever pitch in 2016 - as it marked 20 years since the release of the girls' first single.

Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell,...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
