Thomas Johansson: No one believed we would sell a million tickets

Pollstar.com reports that Live Nation Sweden chief Thomas Johansson confirms that the current Roxette World Tour sale will reach 1 million tickets. He comments:

If I had said we would do a million tickets when we first started out, I’m not sure if people would have told me to go to the pub or to come out of it.

Roxette will play in Kiev on December 6

MyTeatr.com reports on the very successful Roxette’s concert in front of 5,000 people that took place in Kiev in March this year. Even if there is no confirmed date, this article clearly states that Roxette will play in Ukraine for the second time this year. It is very likely that St. Petersburg won’t be the last concert this year – making December 6th (as our August rumour stated) one of the final stops of the World Tour 2011.

Update September 23: We have a poster for the concert – so yes, December 6th is a fact now.

Thanks to Evgeny Perekopskiy for this information.
