The Spice Girls have sold out the first London date on their epic World tour within 38 seconds. Tickets went on sale at 9am this morning, and all had been snapped up by the time it took me to climb out of bed.
Over a million people registered for the chance to purchase tickets and there will be a lot of disappointed people sat in their bedrooms crying right now. But to make them feel instantly better the girl group announced a further 3 London dates on the tour to fill demand for tickets.
Ticket prices for the gigs are between £55 and £75 each, which is a bargain when compared to the £125 upwards being charged for the Led Zeppelin comeback gig. And even more of a bargain when you consider that a pair of tickets was straight away put on auction site eBay for £900.
Ticketmaster boss Chris Edmonds said of the sale:
“It was a dramatic moment – the sales went live and there was a huge surge as fans bombarded the lines.”
The current line up for the tour is as follows but expect it to get added to and altered as tickets get snapped up by eager fans:
Vancouver – 2 December
San Jose – 4 December
Los Angeles – 7 December
Las Vegas – 8 December
New York – 11 December
London – 15 December
London – 16 December
London – 18 December
Cologne – 20 December
Madrid – 23 December
London – 2 January
Shanghai – 8 January
Beijing – 10 January
Hong Kong – 12 January
Sydney – 17 January
Cape Town – 20 January
Buenos Aires – 24 January
Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm, Victoria Adams and Geri Halliwell will be performing together on the tour for the first time since Geri left the group in 1998 to chase an ill fated solo career. She and the rest of the girls were tempted to put their differences aside for an expected pay day of at least £10 million each.
Were you one of the lucky ones who managed to secure a ticket? Or is this really not your cup of tea and you wished the Spice Girls had just stayed in early retirement? Let me know by commenting.
