Prices confirmed for Busted reunion show including 'affordable' Manchester AO Arena tickets

Busted fans have rushed to join ticket queues this morning (Wednesday, March 29) as the first sale started at 9am. Considering the huge attention surrounding the 'What I Go To School For' singers' reunion the ticket prices start from just £40.

Tickets first went on sale just over an hour ago at 9am for fans looking to get early access, mainly customers with access to the Ticketek email sign up and O2 Priority and the Three+ app from Three Mobile. Despite thousands of fans joining Ticketek queues the prices have stayed relatively low considering the demand.

The cheapest tickets, 'Reserved Seating B' start at just £42.50, with the next 'Reserved Seating A' ticket options costing £53.75 upwards. The most expensive seating option is the 'Premium Seating' tickets which start at £65.

Of course, fans who want to stand to try and get as close to the stage as possible will pay more, like majority of concerts. Standing tickets start from £80.75 in the 'Standing Wow Pit'.

Fans are 'guaranteed' to get the 'best seats in the house' with the most expensive rate of all in the 'Ultimate Tickets' which cost £87.50, but although this is double the price of seated tickets it's nowhere near the price of recent artist sales.

During Coldplay's recent 'Music Of The Sphere' ticket sale prices reach as much as £500 per ticket, for the standard individual ticket not even the 'champagne experience packages'. This was mainly down to the 'demand-based ticket system' put in place by retail sites, which pushed up the price the more people go on site.

Again, the cheapest price in Post Malone's recent tour sale started at £59 (for back seating) and went up to £239 for platinum tickets, with a £150 difference between the most expensive ticket at Post Malone compared to the most expensive ticket at Busted's reunion tour.

Although some fans are reacting on social media, depsite the low cost compared to recent gigs the prices are a lot more expensive than they were back in the prime (2003 era).

Another fan took to Twitter to say: "Might campaign for ticket prices to be revealed before they go on sale. Sat in the Busted queue just to find out how much they are."

The tour will see the original much-loved trio - James Bourne, Charlie Simpson and Matt Willis - play their hits and fan-favourites this September. As well as Manchester the trio will play in Cardiff, Birmingham, London, Nottingham, Glasgow, Liverpool, Newcastle and more.
