Fans snap up 20,000 Boyzone tickets as Girls deliver the Spice

ANY FEARS that Boyzone wouldn’t attract the masses at the second time of asking were laid to rest yesterday as fans bagged more than 20,000 tickets for next year’s Dublin show.

The tickets went on sale at 9am yesterday morning for the show in the RDS Arena on Saturday, June 28, next and, by late afternoon, promoters were jubilant about the response.

“It’s the equivalent of selling out three nights at the Point in a day,” said Justin Green of promoters MCD. “It’s set to be one of the biggest comeback concerts of 2008.”
