Sales

On 10 November 2018 several ticket-selling websites, such as Ticketmaster and See Tickets, crashed due to the overwhelming volume of people attempting to buy tickets.[4] Ticketmaster later stated that at one point, over 700,000 fans were simultaneously attempting to purchase tickets making it their busiest sale ever. The six original dates sold out within minutes, prompting the group to add additional dates in Manchester and London.[5][6] More dates were soon announced to take place in Coventry and Cardiff due to further demand.[7] On 16 November, a show in Dublin's Croke Park was announced, the band’s first in Ireland in 21 years. Consequently, the tour was renamed to Spice World – 2019 Tour.[8]
