Kylie Minogue’s UK tour sold out today in less than two hours.
Fans were so desperate to snap up tickets that the telephone exchange handling her London show crashed due to the volume of calls.
Extra dates for the Kylie – Showgirl tour were immediately added to cope with demand.
But interest was so great that a second date in Manchester sold out without even being announced.
The website handling ticket requests for Birmingham repeatedly crashed while queues in Glasgow set record levels.
A spokeswoman for the Earls Court venue in London said: “We do tend to sell out quickly with the likes of Madonna and Elton John, but Kylie has been one of the fastest.”
The sales have already broken records Kylie set for his last tour in 2002.
The following dates have now been added and have tickets still available:
March 20 – Glasgow SECC
March 22 – Glasgow SECC
April 20 – Birmingham NEC
April 26 – Manchester Evening News Arena
May 1 – London Earls Court
