George Benson tickets sell out in six minutes - Ronnie
Scott’s fastest selling show ever!
The once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see one of the
greatest legends of jazz, soul and popular music in the intimate surroundings
of Ronnie Scott’s sold out to club members within six minutes of going on sale
earlier today. The two shows which will take place on 18th June have been the
club’s fastest selling shows to date.
Ten-time Grammy Award winner George Benson’s career spans 5
decades and over 30 albums. The jazz master has used his jazz roots as the
foundation for an engaging mix of pop, R&B and other shades that add up to
a style that appeals to a broad mainstream audience.
Those lucky enough to have got tickets will see Benson
showcase his masterful guitar playing as he performs some of his
greatest hits from his impressive back catalogue, including Give Me The
Night, Turn Your Love Around and In Your Eyes. More about George Benson: http://www.

Does anyone *really* think Warren is overcharging for bringing international artists to Newcastle to play in a tiny venue? I hope not, maybe people just like to grumble, but this story definitely puts it into perspective. Nice one, Lance.
Hoochie also sold out the same day for Gregory Porter.
I don't think Warren is overcharging, given the size of the venue and limitations on numbers. The question remains though - do you want to see Gregory Porter enough to spend £40 on a ticket. It would appear that for 200 people the answer was yes!
The George Benson gig at Ronnie's certainly puts it into context.
