Take That have recently broke ticket sales records following their ticket sales for next summers proposed stadium tours. However this has sparked fear that their might now be the biggest ever ticket scam.
It has been estimated by analysts that a staggering £15 million could be raked in by the sales of fake tickets.
The band smashed their own record by selling out in minutes, this has forced them to add another batch of dates onto their original 15, and they will now be rocking a total of 25 shows!
The genuine tickets all went the total number of genuine tickets that where flogged was a staggering 1.35million! It was averaged by ticket distributors that around 50 tickets would be sold each second. Another more worrying average appeared to showing that a fake ticket site was emerging every hour.
The scam sites where coming from all around the world even from places like India, the idea of these fake ticket sites are to either sell you tickets which will never arrive or to use your banking details once you fill them in and fraud their way into your bank.
Edward Parkinson of real ticket site Viagogo said “Fans need to be extra vigilant when they see a site offering Take That tickets and should not judge a site by its appearance; they must do their homework before they buy.”
Ticket demand was thought to be up to 30 times higher than the Michael Jackson tour ‘This Is’ which the fatal pop star never got to perform.
A number of fans camped up for 72 hours waiting to get their tickets at the box office, whilst internet users blocked ticket distributing sites with their eagerness some preying fans couldn’t even log onto some of the main distributing site for up to four hours due to the site being so busy!

It has recently been revealed that the reformed Take That group will be going on tour next summer. Robbie Williams will be joining them on stage for the first time since their split nearly 15 years ago.
Tickets will go on sale on Friday for dates which include 14 gigs around the UK including trips to London, Manchester, Cardiff, Dublin, Glasgow and Sunderland. Most of which are huge stadium shows.
Gary Barlow has claimed the eagerly awaited shows will be “Spectacular”. The tour will start on May the 30th at the City of light stadium in Sunderland and then continue all throughout June and end finally on July the 5th at London’s Wembley stadium.
Robbie Williams as you may know reunited with the group a while ago and said that he will be performing some of his solo material as well as singing alongside the group, which gives fans even more to look forward to.
According to The Sun he said “I’ll be doing a bit. The lads will be doing a bit and then we’ll all do a bit.”
In a press conference yesterday morning Gary Barlow insisted that the announced tour will be as epic as their one last year when it was just the four piece group without Robbie. Fans that went to the Circus tour last year saw the four riding a giant mechanically constructed elephant!
Gary didn’t reveal much information regarding the production however he did say “We’ve got a bit of a theme. It’s going to be a big production show like our other gigs.”
The five piece have grown up a lot since their last tour in 1995 and now each have kids apart from Robbie and Howard, there has been talks about having a crèche backstage revealed Mark Owen.
The UK tour will be accompanied with dates stretching around parts of Europe to.

I think we all thought that these cheating celebrities had come to an end after Ashley Cole and Vernon Kay, but no it looks like we were wrong as supposedly ‘family man’ Mark Owen from Take That had joined the increasing collections of cheating male stars!
It’s all coming out in the open now – when will it all stop? Well one thing’s for sure, ‘the truth is definitely usually always found out in the end, no matter how hard you try and cover your tracks’. You could say that these men have learned that the hard way………and do I have any sympathy for them………..ermmmmm no!
Who would have thought that loveable Mark could have done such a thing especially when he has children! But to make matters worse, it wasn’t just the one woman he reportedly cheated on his partner and mother of his youngest daughter with oh no, according to the Sun Newspaper he in fact slept with 10!
Howard Donald does not seem to be no saint either and there is one Dutch lady who spilled the bean in an interview – we’ve found out that Howard is a fan cannabis and that’s why he loves Amsterdam so much; Merith, 1 of his lover’s quotes:
“We spent a lot of time in Amsterdam as Howard liked the carefree attitude to drugs there”
So, so far we have found out from beneath Howards loveable Take That front that he is a liar, a cheat and likes using drugs.
It has been announced that Mark has now checked into rehab because of his recent ways, which have actually been going on now for a few years.
Well I wonder how life will be for the singing stars now the dirt has been dished and whether Merith will still stay in touch with Howard……as friends.
