Events : Extra 4,000 tickets released today for Top Gear Live, Feb 12-15, 2009

Don’t Miss Out on Top Gear Live Tickets Twice! Previously Sold Out, an Extra 4,000 Tickets Just Released.





Getting a ticket to the sold out Top Gear Live stage show, Auckland, February 12-15th 2009, has been harder than getting your hands on a McLaren F1 with tickets for all 10 shows racing out the door in record time!



Now, due to heavy demand and requests from enthusiastic fans, an extra 4,000 A-Reserve tickets will be released at 9am Tuesday January 13th through Ticketek – definitely your last chance to get to see those amazing superstars of motoring, Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond in a stunning live performance. These are expected to sell-out within days, so fans are advised to get in quick.



Described as ‘Cirque du Soleil on Wheels’, the much anticipated Top Gear Live show is a winner with blokes and women, young and old, with sell out shows around the world and rave reviews from happy fans. There’s something to satisfy every car enthusiast and Top Gear fan with 75 minutes of breath-taking stunts and driving sequences from some of the world’s best precision drivers - plus live versions of regular formats of the Top Gear programme, all brought to life with stunning stage effects and pyrotechnics.



This will be the first time the New Zealand public has been able to get up close to the Top Gear presenters. Bringing their cheeky and irreverent humour to the show, you can expect that anything-but-modest witty banter from the guys, "We've turned your motoring television show into the most spectacular motoring theatre show in the universe," said Clarkson. "We'll be taking all the best bits of Top Gear, and ambitiously attempting them live on stage."



Greg Murphy is thrilled to be the 3rd presenter and is looking forward to building up a rapport with the guys. His cheeky summary of the Top Gear guys included Clarkson as “The Big Man with a huge head with the job most men (and women) would kill for” and Hammond as “Similar, but with obvious changes.”



For those that can’t make it to the theatre show there is also the Top Gear Live Luxury Car Exhibition on the side, tickets go on sale for this on Wednesday January 14th at 9am. For $15 entry (free for Top Gear Live show ticket holders) this is one luxury car exhibition you won’t want to miss, with a showcase of everything from the latest car gadgets to some of the most expensive, rare and stylish cars in the world. Part of the Exhibition includes the infamous Stig’s Lair - an exclusive den with all the latest and greatest racing consoles, trigger and track racing, and is your chance to really experience the thrill of the track. Challenge the rest of the Top Gear Live audience to get the best time on the interactive New Zealand trigger raceway.



The Turtle Wax Hall of Fame has some of the top marques and brands featured in the show. Mercedes, Porsche, Jaguar and Volvo are just a few of the top car brands set to wow Top Gear Live audience members as they go on display. Expect to see models such as AMG Mercedes, Jaguar XS, Range Rover Sport, Volvo XC60, and the Renault Megane R26 in all their motoring glory. More models are to be confirmed at the time of this release.



Tickets to both events are on sale from www.ticketek.co.nz
