LONDON (CelebrityAccess) Ticketmaster UK announced that Scottish comedian Kevin Bridges’ sold-out Brand New tour was the ticket giant’s “UK Ticket of the Year.”
Bridges earned the accolade for his live show at the SSE Hydro, based on a poll of more than 200 million sales in Ticketmaster’s database of shows from this year.
Bridges’ feat was notable in that no comedian has ever taken top spot in the UK before. His successful 2018 tour earned him the ‘Gie It Laldy’ award from the Glasgow arena, recognizing his contribution to the live event industry, having sold more tickets to the venue than any other solo artist.
“Thank you to everybody who came out to see me live this year and a very special thank you to those who went as far as voting for me as their favorite show of the year. It’s been a while since the result of a vote has made me happy. You have restored my faith in democracy. Thank you all and see you another time,” Bridges said.
Other notable acts include the Spice Girls, and P!nk, who named the UK’s top two most anticipated events for 2019. P!nk is currently on the road with her Beautiful Trauma stadium tour which kicks off in the Uk at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on June 20, with a total of six shows planned UK, ending with a two-night run at London’s Wembley Stadium.
As well, the Spice Girls appear to be on track for a successful run in 2019, with the reunion tour breaking sales records. Other sought-after shows for 2019 in the UK include Muse, Fleetwood Mac and Take That, Ticketmaster said.
