Bocelli fever strikes

BOCELLI sells faster than Bono - tickets to his summer concert in Cork sold out yesterday in just 20 minutes raising the possibility of a second performance.

The clamour to see the blind Italian tenor began at 9.30am when 10,000 tickets, ranging in price from €55 to €155, went on the market.

Steep prices did nothing to curb demand for a chance to see what promises to be the highlight of the city’s Capital of Culture year on July 15.
