TICKETS for the Bolton Evening News reader holiday offer to see Peter Kay in London sold out in one-and-a-half hours.

Fans of the Bolton-born comedian were so keen to see him on stage in February that they flooded our reader holidays office with calls. All 50 places on the coach went in 90 minutes, with the same number of people again asking to be placed on a waiting list in case of cancellations.

"This is the best response to a reader offer we have ever had," said travel co-ordinator supervisor Jill Gorton.

The offer includes return coach travel, tickets for Peter's show at the Hammersmith Apollo, free time in Windsor and London, as well as overnight accommodation at a three or four star hotel. Our reader holiday staff have managed to secure tickets for other dates at the Hammersmith Apollo. Anyone interested should ring Jill on 01204 537229 or Kay on 01204 537327.
