Spice Girls Drawing Millions of Ticket Requests

TicketNews.com

One Spice Girl is about to chew up the U.S. media scene with her athlete husband, another just had Eddie Murphy’s baby and one has reinvented herself as a spokesperson for various charitable causes. Yet Posh, Scary, Ginger and the other Spice Girls were willing to put all that on hold in order to launch a reunion tour, a move that would appear to be a good idea.

According to published reports, more than 1 million fans have flooded the group’s official website seeking ticket applications for the tour, the chart-topping girl group’s first since the turn of the millennium.

The website is allegedly receiving more than 10 requests per second, said a group spokesperson, and they hope to generate a total of more than 5 million requests this week. Last week, the group announced plans for an 11-date tour through eight countries beginning late in the year. . .

Some media outlets, however, are already reporting friction in the group, and tour organizers are reportedly trying to keep the performers apart as much as possible to avoid any flare-ups. Egos, spotlight hogging and tardiness are already causing rifts, according to published reports, which might help squash the AEG Live-promoted tour before it starts.

Rock documentary maker Bob Smeaton is preparing a film based on the tour, which is in support of a new greatest hits album on Virgin Records and out this November.

As previously reported, Bob Smeaton, the rock-music documentary director famous for his works on the Beatles and the Who, is working on the Spice Girls’ first official TV documentary for global distribution.
