Stone Roses add two extra dates after ‘unprecedented demand’ sees tickets sell

Announcing that the extra date was added “due to unprecedented demand” at 2pm on Friday.

Tickets for the original two dates – June 17 and 18 – sold out, so a third (June 19) was added.

Another person said: “Everyone is seeing Stone Roses”. However fans have been angry as the tickets have been provided for resale on-line with a huge mark-up.

The Government chose not to amend the law on reselling tickets, however the terms and conditions of a few events now specifically state that a few tickets can not be resold.

“When the band reunited in 2012 there was never any concrete plans”.

Many took to Twitter to register their frustration.

Phone lines opened this morning, and within an incredible ten seconds each and every ticket was snapped up.

One moaned: “The Stone Roses in Manchester sold out in about 20 minutes”.

Twitter user Chloe added: “RIP to the Stone Roses tickets I wanted”.

The reunion was one which many fans thought would never happen after their bitter fall-out, but they agreed to a series of United Kingdom festival dates and a three-night stint topping the bill at their own mini-festival in Manchester’s Heaton Park.

According to insiders, Michael Eavis, 80, is determined to snag the band for the Pyramid stage in 2016 after failing to do so for the last TWO years.

“The Stone Roses were asked to play Glasto this year, firstly instead of The Who and then as a replacement for Foo Fighters when they cancelled”, a source told The Daily Star.

Two hours before the tickets have been let go at 9.30 am on Ticketmaster, Stubhub reportedly had £59 face value standing tickets for the 2 concerts at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium on sale for a whopping £194. A rip-off, or a way for fans to get tickets that they otherwise couldn’t get? “No one talk to me”.

Phil Howson tweeted: “How wonderful to have the opportunity to buy Stone Roses tickets on Viagogo”.

The Stone Roses made a triumphant comeback in 2012, having announced in 2011 that they were reforming after an acrimonious split 15 years earlier.

The group – which includes Ian Brown, John Squire, Mani and Reni – released their eponymous debut in 1989 but split after their next album “Second Coming” in 1994.
