The first batch of tickets for Manchester’s new skyline park sold out this just a few hours after they went live. The Castlefield Viaduct opens to the public on Saturday, July 30, just five months after work began on the historic steel structure.
Tickets went on sale at 8am this morning and sold out by 2pm - the next three weeks, up until August 21, are now fully booked. Mancunians will have to wait until this Thursday, July 28, to apply for tickets for the next batch, which covers August, 22 onwards.
Some people on Twitter reported that the site had in fact crashed when they went onto it this morning. By the time they managed to get back on, all the slots were sold out.
