Excess factor for Gary fans

TICKETS for Gary Barlow’s gig at the Edinburgh Playhouse next month are now selling at an average of £106 – despite only going on sale on Friday.

Seats for the November 21 concert had been ticketed at £35-£55, but the only remaining places are going for between £107 and £548.

Fans hoping to sit on the balcony will now have to pay £107-242 and seats directly in front of the stage are going for £251-£548, according to the ticket website Seatwave.

The X-Factor judge organised the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee concert and has been awarded an OBE for his contributions to music.
