Take That have added a fifth date to their run at Manchester’s Co-op Live arena, but fans have expressed disappointment at the ticket prices.
The beloved Manchester boyband, consisting of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen, will be performing at the brand-new venue in May 2024.
Although general sale on Take That tickets doesn’t begin until 9.30am on Friday 29 September, the pre-sales that have been happening this week have been flooded with people trying to grab tickets.
The demand has been so high, pre-sales for all five Co-op Live dates have already sold out.
And those who got to join the virtual queues first were quick to kick off at the ‘ridiculously expensive’ tickets for Take That’s This Life On Tour tour.
One person wrote (and I don’t know why she’s directly targeting Gary Barlow here): “Wow, @GaryBarlow the price of the Take That tickets are totally out of reach for a lot of us this time round . Two tickets approx £490, that’s a food shop for 5 weeks . Enjoy the profits.”
Another person said: “You know what @takethat you don’t need to charge a bloody fortune for the tickets, you’ve got enough cash yourselves and not every artist does it. I went to see Paolo at the Hydro 3 times for the price of 1 ⫩ ticket Ripping off your fans! Tickets are 4 times the price of 2015.”
Someone else said: “Prices are crazy…first time in 30 years that I’m not even trying for tickets.”
Another person commented: “Prices are ridiculously expensive, I got through to buy tickets for Birmingham but refused to pay £70 to sit at the very back of the arena.”
