Daniel
O'Donnell Fans Can Queue In Comfort
Potty
Daniel O’Donnell fans won’t be caught short when the queue
for tickets starts tonight as a portable loo has been installed
outside Coventry’s Skydome arena.
The
Irish singing legend has been booked to play at the venue on St
Patrick’s Day and demand for tickets is expected to be
immense.
Bosses
have taken special steps to ensure that Daniel O'Donnell's army
of fans don't see their chances of getting a ticket for his
concert go down the pan by being caught short at the vital
moment.
Hundreds
of avid followers of the Donegal legend are expected to queue
outside the £7 million Arena from the early hours of Saturday
morning in order to secure seats when they go on sale at 8am.
To
keep them comfortable a portable loo has been installed outside
the box office for people waiting for the tickets for the gig on
17 March next year.
Michael
Petrouis, managing director of arena owner Planet Ice, said that
the response to O'Donnell had been incredible.
He
said:
"We
knew Daniel O'Donnell was a massive name to bring to Coventry
but we have already had people saying that they are planning to
queue from Friday night for tickets.
"Obviously
this system is the fairest way to distribute the tickets but we
want to make people who are waiting patiently as comfortable as
possible."
The
box office opens at 8am for personal callers and the ticket
hotline - 08700 119119 - is operational from 10am.
