Robbie Williams and Michel Bublé top the Viagogo chart

altTickets to see Michel Bublé were the most traded on secondary ticket website, Viagogo, during 2009. Tickets to U2’s tour were the second most traded, capping a great year which has seen them play in front of millions of people all over the world.

Whilst Bublé topped Viagogo’s chart for the number of tickets resold, Robbie Williams tickets topped the chart for the most expensive music ticket traded in 2009. Tickets for his appearance at the Roundhouse for the Electric Proms went for a staggering £655 (724) a ticket.

Viagogo UK director Ed Parkinson commented:

“Live music has dominated the media this year and has reminded people how enjoyable watching live music is and it would seem that the recession has not kept fans at home. This has been Viagogo’s most successful year to date and we are proud to have helped to connect the fans with their heroes, from U2 Tickets to Susan Boyle.”
