TOUR SELLS OUT WITHIN TWO HOURS. EXTRA DATES ALSO SELL OUT, WITH TOUR HAVING TO BE TRIPLED IN SIZE.

Kylie’s 2005 tour 'Kylie Showgirl; the Greatest Hits tour' has already broken records for ticket sales which Kylie set in 2002 on her last tour!

Tickets went on sale today for the UK leg of the tour and were sold-out within two hours, bringing down a telephone exchange in the process. The main telephone exchange at Bishopsgate, which handled calls for the London show, crashed shortly after 9am this morning due to the volume of calls. The website handling ticket requests for Birmingham crashed every ten minutes, whilst queues in Glasgow set record levels. Such was the interest in the tour that a second date in Manchester sold out without ever having been announced!

The tour promoter 3A announced this afternoon that ticket sales for this tour had eclipsed those for the 2002 Fever tour in the speed at which they were sold, and the frequency in which dates were added. It was in 2002 that Kylie smashed ticket records in Manchester and Newcastle; she broke the record for the most dates played by a solo artist at Manchester’s Evening News Arena, playing to over 85,000 people, whilst in Newcastle, the Arena announced that Kylie’s show had been the quickest to sell-out in the history of the venue.

By 6pm tonight, Kylie will have tripled the dates of her 2005 tour, announcing a third date in Manchester, a third in Glasgow, a second in Birmingham and a second at Earls Court.

Kylie said today; "I’m so excited! I can’t wait to see all the fans on tour and I know that we can give them one of the best shows they have ever seen. I have so many ideas that I have been saving for this tour and can’t wait to play the first show."

The full dates, with the extra dates added, are;

March 19 GLASGOW SECC SOLD OUT
March 20 GLASGOW SECC
March 22 GLASGOW SECC

April 19 BIRMINGHAM NEC SOLD OUT
April 20 BIRMINGHAM NEC
April 23 MANCHESTER ARENA SOLD OUT
April 24 MANCHESTER ARENA SOLD OUT
April 26 MANCHESTER ARENA

May 1 LONDON EARLS COURT
May 2 LONDON EARLS COURT SOLD OUT






Additional Glasgow and Birmingham dates have been added to Kylie's 'Showgirl - The Greatest Hits Tour' and will be on sale at 5.30pm this evening. Second Manchester and London dates are already on sale with tickets for a third Manchester date to be released shortly.

A third Glasgow date has been added on 22nd March and a second Birmingham date has been added on 20th April. As soon as we have confirmation on additional dates for other cities they will be announced right here.

MARCH 22ND GLASGOW SECC (0870 040 4000)

APRIL 20TH BIRMINGHAM NEC (0870 909 4133)

Such has been the demand for tickets to see Kylie live that the first four dates sold out within two hours of going on sale. Over 3,000 tickets were sold during Kylie.com's exclusive pre-sale booking period at 8.00am this morning.

The booking frenzy resulted in telephone and online booking lines being jammed from the moment tickets went on sale. At one point, the main telephone exchange at Bishopsgate crashed from the volume of calls.

Debbie Thomas, director of corporate affairs at Earl Court said: "There was an absolute onsalught on the website and ticket hotlines, and all the tickets were gone within two hours. We do tend to sell out quickly with the likes of Madonna and Elton John - but Kylie has been one of the fastest."

Stay tuned to Kylie.com for more dates as they are announced.
