That's pretty much why my wife wanted them so much, the first she went to see and she's of the age where young girls loved them.
10:30am on Saturday I had 2 laptops trying to get tickets as I thought it'd make a nice Christmas present for her and her childhood best friend and I'd heard they'd be sold out in 28 seconds.
Ended up with 2x £136 seated tickets on each laptop!! So if they have sold out and anyone wants 2 at face value then send me an email, they are at the front to the right hand side of the stage. I spend too much time moaning about ticket touts to want to make a profit on them!

I find it absolutely astonishing that anyone would pay money to see this bunch in 2019. Even back in their ‘heyday’, they were crap.
Whether you like them or not is irrelevant, they were absolutely massive back in the day; aye, it's easy to attribute that to a cynical marketing campaign given the entirely manufactured premise behind the group but to deny their success would be churlish. I'm 30 years old so they were a "thing" during my childhood years and the hype behind them was massive at the time, most of their fans will be in a similar age bracket to myself and a lot of them will be similar to the "one gig a year" middle aged yummy mummy types that usually go to a GnR or Bon Jovi concert even though they only know three songs by them or whatever, the fact that this has sold (and sold well) is no surprise to me at all, regardless of my opinions of the group.

My wife is 28 and was aged about 10 at the turn of the century when her and her friends 'loved them'. It's more a nostalgia thing for her, and why not? When I was 10, I was playing Tracy Island, which was a bit crap!
I agree they're unlikely to have improved though.
