Extra tickets released for London Live 8
27/06/2005 - 10:09:28Live 8 organisers today announced the release of 55,000 extra free tickets to the star-studded concert.
The additional places will allow people to watch Saturday’s event at Hyde Park live on giant screens.
Pairs of tickets will be handed out free of charge from Wednesday at selected venues in London and around the UK, organisers said.
Bob Geldof said: “This is going to be the biggest event in Hyde Park’s history and the biggest ticketed event ever in the UK.
“The Park will be filled to the brim. In other cities around the country and around the world, millions of people will be joining in to make poverty history. It will be one of those defining moments that come around once in a generation.”
