bruno_oliveira Posted October 2, 2007 at 02:58 AM Posted October 2, 2007 at 02:58 AM Fans snap up Spice Girls tickets London's Spice Girls reunion concert has sold out in 38 seconds after fans were notified tickets had gone on sale, the show's promoters have claimed. More than one million people in the UK registered for the concert, which takes place on 15 December at the O2 arena. "It was a dramatic moment - the sales went live and there was a huge surge as fans bombarded the lines," said Ticketmaster's boss Chris Edmonds. Three more London dates have been added to the tour. Tickets cost £55-75. The shows will take place on 16 and 18 December 2007, and 2 January 2008. Tickets for the additional dates are currently being sold to fans, who were alerted to the sales by text and e-mail. And tickets for the 15 December gig are already appearing on eBay - with one pair advertised at £900. The band's world tour kicks off in Canada on 2 December, and will visit San Jose, Shanghai and Cape Town. The full line-up has not performed on stage since Ginger Spice Geri Halliwell quit in May 1998. The reunion concerts have been put together by Simon Fuller, whose 19 company masterminded the group's global success more than a decade ago. Under his guidance, the five-piece notched up a string of hits - including Wannabe and 2 Become 1 - while also capitalising on their fame with a stream of sponsorship deals. Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm, Victoria Adams and Geri Halliwell quickly became household names - although they were better known as Baby, Scary, Sporty, Posh and Ginger. They sold more than 55 million records around the world, and even starred in a film, Spice World. Halliwell quit in 1998 citing "differences", leaving the band to complete a sold-out world tour as a foursome. Since 2001 each member has since pursued solo careers with varying degrees of success, while Posh Spice has become better known as fashion icon Victoria Beckham.

Bellamy Posted October 4, 2007 at 05:37 AM Posted October 4, 2007 at 05:37 AM This new is so fake. It's just the winner can buy the ticket were selected by computer in 38 seconds maybe. I doubt their ticket systme even can handle sell out 100K tickets in 38 seconds. Quote Please support the forum by ordering everything through our special Amazon.com link Click here. Thank you!
bruno_oliveira Posted October 4, 2007 at 07:14 PM Author Posted October 4, 2007 at 07:14 PM THEY CREATED THIS EXPECTATIVE SINCE JUNE fans registeredand last week we got the email with the date,hour...and it had a code to buy the ticket before everyone else... its like...everyone wanted to buy the best tickets available...thats why this happened i believe this site can handle this amount of people Quote
dj4celine Posted October 4, 2007 at 07:46 PM Posted October 4, 2007 at 07:46 PM As Bellamy said, I think its just a bit over rated or maybe even fake. I don't think that the ticketing computer systems can handle that much of an influx and that too in a mere 38 seconds I am sure the computer would have blasted off to space if something this heavy would have occurred Quote
Love, Posted October 7, 2007 at 07:33 AM Posted October 7, 2007 at 07:33 AM I think I'll see them here in NorCal! :D Quote

celinerific Posted October 10, 2007 at 10:16 PM Posted October 10, 2007 at 10:16 PM This seems a little unrealistic.But then again, it makes me paranoid about Celine concerts. Quote http://i58.tinypic.com/2qbub9c.png @ErikaTran | Insta: aireexwp | erikatran.com
celinerific Posted October 11, 2007 at 12:51 AM Posted October 11, 2007 at 12:51 AM (edited) Well... since Celine hasn't toured for so long, there may be a lot of anticipation here in Canada for her to come. If I don't scurry my scoony a$s, I won't get the seat I want. Or worse yet, they may sell-out.
