150 of the invite only Dhs2500 box seats are still available.

Get in good with Thomas who owns The One and see if you can talk him out of the VIP tix.

They sold 25,000 tickets in three hours flat.

It's a first for the UAE!

What's hilarious though is you can bid for tickets on Ebay and souq.com people are out to make serious money on these things, and the things is some people will be dumb enough to pay well over the odds!

Radio 2 is now the only place you have the chance to win tickets.

Choco are u going to attend the show? It must be your BF , who has to pay for tickets :wink: Cauz girls only put their hand in purse when they have to take out make up kit not money :P

Concord, Robbie Williams is massive everywhere apart from the US! He's sold millions of records world wide, he used to be a member of a boy band called Take That. I'm sure you've heard of them.

He sold out 3 South Africa dates in 3 hours.

HP, Robbie is an awsome singer live, a complete showman. I saw him in Berlin last year and it was the most amazing gig I've ever been to!

Moi, pay for tickets? I don't think so! I get complimentary ones darling! I don't pay to go to gigs in this town, people give me tickets, it's a very nice perk of the job - that's showbiz!

Luckily (or maybe unluckily) my friend is doing the PR for that gig and has secured 100 tickets as part of his payment. I can't stand the guys music but my girlfriend is extremely excited about it.

Yeah Sniper - whatever!

Actually he's had:

6 Number 1's
12 top 5's
5 top 10's

and only one song never made is to the top ten! And that's just his UK tally.

Robbie's latest album has gone Platinum in the UAE and he has had more than 35 million global album, single and DVD sales.

His world tour is sold out. 3 South Africa dates sold out in 3 hours. 5 Wembley sates sold out in 4 hours etc etc etc.

So I'd say he's probably the biggest star around at the moment.

The record company EMI signed him to a 520 million Dhs contract.

He's so macho and charismatic that I find him appealing :) Musically, he isn't the greatest - but hey - charisma goes a long way.
