Vision of the future

A RENOWNED comic book artist has unveiled his vision of how the Leuchars Airshow might look in the year 2116 for the DCA Thomson exhibition i n Dundee.

The painting by Commando artist Ian Kennedy was commissioned by Craig Coulthard, an Edinburgh-based artist whose work also features in the DCA exhibition.

Artists had been asked to create responses to DC Thomson and Co Ltd’s comic archives.

The new painting, created by Kennedy at the end of 2016, depicts what he i magines Leuchars Airshow would look like if it was taking place 100 years in the future.

The exhibition runs until February 19.

Briefs for the gig at Slessor Gardens on June 29, part of the band’s summer tour, went on sale last Friday.

Prices started from £41.25 for general admission and £55 for stageside “golden circle” entry.

However, after selling out in just 15 minutes, some tickets immediately reappeared on official resale sites and online marketplaces.

One listing for Dundee tickets on the resale website GetMeIn — which is owned by Ticketmaster — was asking for £187 per ticket for general admission — which is a mark-up of 450%.

In addition, some sellers are choosing to sell tickets only i n pairs, meaning fans could be forced to splash out as much as £374 for two tickets — and that’s before GetMeIn adds a £68 processing fee.

A total of 113 tickets were available on GetMeIn at the time of going to press.

One seller who posted on the online marketplace Gumtree was offering a pair of “platinum” standing tickets for £200 – a mark-up on the original price of £111.

Another seller had a single ticket available for £99 — more than twice its face value of £45.

On auction website eBay, one user registered in Broughty Ferry put a single Little Mix ticket up for sale at lunchtime on Friday — less than three hours after the concert had sold out.

LITTLE Mix tickets are being sold online with mark-ups of 450% — just days after they sold out.
