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."
