Take That crowned Ticketmaster’s Ticket of the Year 2015

It’s official, Take That have been crowned Ticketmaster’s Ticket of the Year 2015.

Having fought off strong competition from some of this year’s hottest live acts, Ticketmaster’s Ticket of the Year poll today revealed customers have chosen Take That as their favourite live event of 2015!

The pop trio have enjoyed a sellout year filling The O2, London ten times over this summer – the once five-man 90s boyband have proven that they are still hottest ticket in town, even being two men down.

Scottish comedian, Kevin Bridges sits impressively in second place. The stand-up comedian and TV personality’s astonishing rise to fame in the past few years helped him sell nearly 400k tickets for his 2015 UK tour. Closely behind Bridges, the third place ticket of the year goes to one-man show Ed Sheeran, who sold out five Wembley Stadiums with nothing more than a guitar and a microphone.

In fourth place is rock and metal festival, Download – this legendary event has seen some of the biggest names in rock and metal grace its stages, this year it was Slipknot, Muse and KISS who wowed the crowds. Coming in at the fifth Ticket of the Year is the Foo Fighters. After front man Dave Grohl broke his leg forcing the band to pull out of their headline spot Glastonbury; there is no surprise that this show was a winner among live entertainment fans.
