Tickets for Will Young’s appearance at this year’s Castle Concerts have sold out within a few hours of going on sale at 10am today, Monday 1 March. The Brook and Central Theatre box offices and the Castle Concerts website were all inundated by an unprecedented demand as soon as tickets went on sale at 10am. Meanwhile hundreds of fans queued to book at the Visitor Information Centre in Rochester. Tickets for top girl band The Saturdays also went on sale today and are selling fast.
Caroline Dhudwar and her friend 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: “All of the tills at our two theatre box offices and at the Visitor Information Centre have been extremely busy with sales this morning, and there was a particularly high demand online as thousands of people rushed to buy tickets at the same time.
“We’d like to thank those customers who have waited so patiently for tickets and will be dealing with bookings for the remaining concerts as quickly as possible”.
Tickets are already virtually sold out for Status Quo, who will kick off this year’s concerts on Wednesday, 14 July. Will Young will perform for the first time in Medway on Thursday, 15 July. The Saturdays, also making their first visit, will take the stage on Friday, 16 July. The concert series will end in traditional style with the popular Castle Proms, performed by The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra on Saturday, 17 July.
Ticket prices for the remaining concerts are The Saturdays £29.50 and Castle Proms £29.50. Bookings can be made in person at The Central Theatre box office, The Brook Theatre box office and Medway Visitor Information Centre, by phone on 338338 or online at www.castleconcerts.co.uk
