Viagogo Named Official Premium Ticketing Partner Of Live Nation For The Roger Waters UK Tour

alt Viagogo, One of Europe’s leading secondary ticketing company has partnered with Live Nation to become the official premium ticketing partner of Live Nation for the hotly anticipated Roger Waters “The Wall” Tour. Fans will be able to access premium Roger Waters tickets through viagogo to experience firsthand “The Wall” being performed for the first time in over twenty years. The creative genius will trek through 25 European cities to mark the 30th anniversary of the album’s release and will be taking to the stage in Manchester for two nights and London for three nights in May 2011.

Previously the show was simply too large to contemplate a tour, but thanks to advances in technology and the developments of new arenas a large scale tour is now possible. Fans certainly won’t be disappointed as a full band will be performing The Wall in its entirety, with a specially designed, state-of-the-art stage show to enhance Waters’ epochal masterpiece of alienation and transformation.

Ed Parkinson, Director of viagogo UK said “Roger Waters is a UK rock legend so we are delighted to be partnering with Live Nation once again to offer fans some of the best seats in the house.”
