Thirty-eight ticks on a clock is all the time it took for the ‘Spice Girls’ to sell out their London reunion gig that is set for December 15th. The band, which consists of Posh Spice (Victoria Beckham), Scary Spice (Melanie Brown), Baby Spice (Emma Bunton), Sporty Spice (Melanie Chisholm), and Ginger Spice (Geri Halliwell), is embarking on a well publicized 25 date tour. The band filled the ticket orders so quickly that extra dates have been added in London for Dec 16 and 18 and Jan 2. Demand for the tickets was staggering to see the 90’s girl group as 1 Million people registered their names for the chance to get
tickets.
“It was a dramatic moment - the sales went live and there was a huge surge as fans bombarded the lines,” said Ticketmaster’s boss Chris Edmonds.
The tour will kick off in Vancouver on December 2nd and will also hit Las Vegas, New York, Kohl, Madrid, Beijing, Hong Kong, Sydney, Cape Town to show off a wide variety of ‘Spice Girls’ images. The ‘Spice Girls,’ who are regular tabloid fodder in the United Kingdom, say they may release new music in the future but are focusing the upcoming tour on the hits the band is known for. Band members got the staggering amount of $20 Million dollars each to perform in the reunion. Promoters expect the memorabilia sold at concerts and other venues will be a major money maker.
Meanwhile, the most famous of all the ‘Spice Girls’ Posh Spice, married to the footballer David Beckham, plans to perform in a special one off event with the LA group ‘The Pussycat Dolls.’ The group says they were big fans of the ‘Spice Girls’ in their 1990’s heyday and are looking forward to the chance to perform with their childhood hero.
