Come on, come one, come on, come on Take That and party!!!

When Take That recently announced the release of more tickets for their hotly-anticipated Progress tour on Friday 10th December, I was so excited! I’d missed out the first time round as the tickets sold out in record time. And it’s Take That with Robbie back after 16 years! Could it be magic?


I had a problem, the tickets went on sale at 10am and I was meant to be hard at work in the office, securing press coverage for my clients. A quick text message to Phil explaining my plight resulted in the required clearance to try and secure the coveted tickets.

I informed all my colleagues about my plans and Faye got excited as she also wanted to see the band. The whole team was poised by their computers and phones in the office, ready to secure eight tickets to see the boys in their hometown of Manchester.

10am came and went. All the phone lines were engaged and the websites were busy. I was praying to get through. It was quite frantic at one point. Phil strolled in and told me to have a little patience. Perseverance eventually paid off and both Faye and I managed to acquire our tickets by 10.15am. Yeah!

I hope Take That are back for good and can’t wait to see them. I expect it will be the greatest day of 2011.
