The Take That reunion tour sold out within six hours of going on sale on Friday, even after the promoters doubled the number of gigs planned for the tour due to demand. Some disappointed fans, as usual, said that they'd had trouble contacting venues and booking agencies. A Seetickets spokesperson said: "Take That tickets are moving incredibly quickly. We've been very busy but people are getting through."
Promoters say that more than 250,000 tickets have been sold. Gary Barlow says that he and his fellow band members are amazed by the response: "We're all in shock," he said, "We always knew our fans were great, as they used to follow us around, but the response from them today has been overwhelming and we are so grateful for their loyalty and support."
