Take That: One Million Tickets And Counting

How big is the big Take That / Robbie Williams reunion tour? So far the Brit boy band has sold 1 million tickets (and probably a heckuva lot more during the time it took you to read this).

After years of Robbie Williams denying any intention to rejoin with his former mates, the singer and Take That announced their reunion in July. Last week the group revealed the first round of ticket sales for the “Progressive Live 2011” U.K. tour with the boys playing mostly stadiums beginning May 30 in the United Kingdom at Sunderland’s Stadium Of Light.

Take That has also added more shows to the U.K. schedule since last week’s announcement. Manchester’s City Of Manchester Stadium is now down for seven concerts as is London’s Wembley Stadium. Other towns getting extra doses of Take That include Sunderland, Cardiff, Glasgow and Birmingham. Dublin has also boosted its Take That quotient, bringing the number of shows at Croke Park Stadium up to two.
