Such was the demand for tickets, a third date was announced on Thursday morning and went on sale immediately.

Raymond Stewart, of Stewart’s Music Shop told the TIMES the demand for tickets has been ‘unbelievable.’ He said: “We even had a phone call this morning from a woman, before the tickets went on sale, offering £2000 for two tickets! She said she would give me her credit card details over the phone and everything! I had to tell her no, we couldn’t do it.”
