LET DOWN: Kayleigh Harris was left waiting outside Hampden.

AN ABERDEEN mum-of-two today said she was left “sickened” after claiming she was conned out of hundreds of pounds for Take That concert tickets.

Ann Moore bought three briefs as a surprise Christmas gift for her daughters to see Take That at Glasgow’s Hampden Park.

The 53-year-old of Aberdeen’s Danestone paid £300 to website theonlineticketshop.com in October but the Take That tickets never arrived.

Ann e-mailed the London-based firm and was told someone would meet her outside the Glasgow stadium before the concert to hand over the Take That tickets.

However, when Ann and daughters Kayleigh Harris, 23, and Mhariann, 21, arrived the man wasn’t there and after waiting three hours they decided to return to Aberdeen.

It was roll up, roll up as the greatest ever circus came to town.

Take That's Hampden show had everything from clowns, dancers, acrobats, a tight-rope walker, marching bands, fire, fireworks, ring masters to a 20ft mechanical elephant with a long-haired woman as its tail.

And though they clowned around on stage in silly outfits, this was a serious performance planned to precision.

The impressive stage was set up with a passage leading to a huge circle. The clowns eventually clustered there amid a throng of balloons, which flew skyward to reveal Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Mark Owen and Jason Orange dressed in black. They thenlaunched into Greatest Day from their Circus album.

It seemed the music might take a backseat to the effects - with the band scaling ladders for a jaunty Hello - until old favourites such as Could It Be Magic, Pray and A Million Love Songs appeared to a Hampden phwoar.

They also showed off their musicianship with Howard on drums, Jason on guitar, Mark on bass and Gary on piano, during the Beatles- like Up All Night and the Jason Orange solo Wooden Boat.

Gary also remained on stage solo at the piano for How Did It Come To This, with a tightrope walker suspended above him.

But the life of a clown is not always a happy one and amid the jack-in-the-boxes, artists, carousel music and mayhem, the four- piece sat down and painted their faces white Pierrot-style as Howard sung the bittersweet What Is Love? As parties go this onehad everything. The question is: will they be able to top it?

Take That will play a record three nights at Glasgow’s Hampden Park on June 19, 20, 21. Two years after their last visit to Scotland, the boys are set to relight Glasgow audiences’ fire with stunning live performances showcasing songs from the brilliant The Circus album. Will this tour be as popular and exciting as the last?

Scottish Record

Take That are now Scottish record holders for the most sold out consecutive gigs at a Scottish stadium. All 50,000 tickets for each gig sold out in a few hours, helping the “Take That presents The Circus Live” become the fastest selling UK tour ever, beating even Michael Jackson’s 1987 Bad tour.

Gary Barlow said* that they are “blown away” by their Scottish ticket sales and, now that they’ve made more money, the band plan to make the shows bigger and better than ever before.

The Glasgow Crowd

Glasgow concert audiences are loved by bands and artists all over the world because of their enthusiasm, the volume of their cheers, and their warmth. However, when Take That played Glasgow last in 2007, the fans turned up the heat.

During one song where the band walk through the crowd, some ecstatic concert-goers grabbed and pulled so hard that they drew blood, with Mark Owen coming away with a few scratches.

Howard Donald said in an interview* that the boys are a little fearful of returning in case they get ripped to pieces again. However, maybe they’ll think twice about a crowd walk in Glasgow again.

Awesome Show

Take That are famous for their extravagant live shows with huge, dazzling light shows, dancers, costumes and pyrotechnics. The Circus tour promises to be their biggest and most exciting live show yet, according to Gary Barlow.

Fans may have had a sneak preview of a part of the show during the band’s performance at the Brits. Singing their power ballad Greatest Day, the boys descended from a giant UFO with flashing lights, smoke and lasers. Many fans were puzzled however, by their choice of nerdy clothing and odd glasses.

Last tour the band had a second mini stage, which they arrived at via a bridge that was lowered from the roof. Given Howard’s comments about their trepidation about coming to Glasgow again, perhaps they won’t want to that close to the crowd again.

Take That might started out as a boy
1000
band. They’re older now - and technically not a boy band any more - and more experienced songwriters and performers and always give their growing army of fans exactly what they want.
