Video: Queues wait for
Castle Concert tickets on Monday
by Lynn Cox
Tickets for Will Young's appearance at this year's Castle
Concerts sold out within a few hours of going on sale.
The Brook and Central Theatre box offices and the
Castle Concerts
website were in unprecedented demand as soon as tickets went on
sale at 10am Monday.
Meanwhile, hundreds of fans queued to book at the Visitor
Information Centre in Rochester. Tickets for top girl band The
Saturdays went on sale at the same time and are also selling
fast.
Caroline Dhudwar and Fran Wells, both from Rochester, were the
first in the queue at the Visitor Information Centre and bought
tickets for both concerts.
Caroline said: "When I heard Will Young was playing here I
couldn't believe it.
"I got here at about a quarter to eight this morning to make
sure I didn’t miss out."
A Medway Council spokesman said on
Monday: "All of the tills at our two theatre box offices and at the
Visitor Information Centre have been extremely busy with sales.
"There was a particularly high demand online as thousands of
people rushed to buy tickets at the same time."
