Fans snap up 3,000 free tickets for Ferry’s Tall Ships gig

MUSIC fans have snapped up over 3,000 free tickets for a concert by Bryan Ferry due to take place during the forthcoming Tall Ships festival in Waterford.

The amount of interest in the event led to website problems during peak demand periods yesterday morning but organisers say the issue should be rectified for today’s release of tickets for the Waterboys concert.

The tickets for Bryan Ferry’s Bolton Street concert on June 30 were distributed on-line yesterday and within a half-hour, more than 3,000 were gone.
