Take That ticket fever swept the nation yesterday when tickets for the bands Progress Live 2011 UK Summer Stadium tour went on sale, and sold out in record time. A record breaking one million tickets were snapped up for the tour, meaning the band have smashed their own previous box office record set in 2008 with the previous Take That tour 'The Circus Live'.
Massive demand for the tickets on Friday morning caused phone lines and websites across the country to jam as ticket agents struggled to cope with the unprecedented number of people trying to buy tickets for Take That. Thousands of fans also camped out overnight outside the stadium box offices to ensure they were amongst the first to secure tickets for Take That’s highly anticipated tour next year.
The band commented "We are speechless, truly and utterly shocked. This is the most amazing news for all of us. To sell one million tickets in a day is mind blowing and we think we’ll be in shock for a few days! We want to thank everyone who has bought tickets today and look forward to seeing them next year."
The bands’ promoter Simon Moran commented: "The excitement of the on sale and the demand for the tickets today was at another level to the Circus tour which at the time was itself record breaking. There literally has never been anything like it in the history of live music in the UK. Selling a million tickets in day is an absolutely amazing achievement."
Progress Live 2011 will be the first time that Gary, Howard, Jason, Mark and Robbie have toured together in over 16 years
