Tickets sold in record time

- TAMARA THORN

Taupo’s Summer Concert has sold out with all 15,000 tickets snapped up in just one week.

Greenstone Entertainm­ent recently announced the summer line up last week, and already Taupo has sold out in record time.

The Summer line up concert features George Thorogood & The Destroyers, Alanis Morissette and Colin Hay of Men At Work fame. They are playing concerts in Queenstown, Taupo and Whitianga in late January.

Tickets are now in high demand for the Queenstown and Whitianga concerts now that Taupo is sold out.

Greenstone Entertainm­ent CEO, Amanda Calvert said they were ‘‘blown away’’ by the response to the Taupo concert.

’’In its seven-year history, this is the first time we have experience­d a sell out for one of our shows only one week after announceme­nt.

‘‘It certainly shows our fans love not just the amazing line up of acts we strive to deliver each year, but also the unique afternoon atmosphere and idyllic holiday locations around the country where we’re blessed to hold the concerts.

‘‘We want to thank everyone for their ongoing support and encourage those still needing tickets for the Queenstown or Whitianga show to secure them before they too sell out.’’

Tickets are still available for the Gibbston Valley Winery Summer Concert in Queenstown and the Whitianga Summer Concert.

The sold out concert will be held at Taupo Amphitheat­re on Auckland Anniversar­y Weekend.

Ticket purchases through www.greenstone­entertainm­ent.co.nz or www.ticketek.co.nz for $99 plus booking fee.
