She cancelled their wedding to go see Take That

that's what I call a fan !


A DIEHARD Take That fan who cancelled her wedding to see the band perform in Brum was devastated – after her tickets never turned up.

Debbie Pickett, 38, paid for two seats for the £50 million Progress Tour gig at Villa Park as soon as the dates were announced last autumn.

In December boyfriend Tony Huxley, 34, popped the question and set about planning a summer register office wedding for Tuesday June 28.

But the hubby-to-be was stunned when mum-of-three Debbie announced: “We can’t get wed then. It’s the same day that Take That are playing Villa Park!”

The couple cancelled their plans, and started looking for another date later in the year.

“He couldn’t quite believe it,” said Debbie, who lives with Tony in Clifton Campville, near Tamworth, Staffordshire.

“I just knocked him straight back. There was absolutely no way I could miss seeing Gary, Howard, Mark, Jason and Robbie.

“He had sorted out the wedding and pretty mucharranged everything – so it was a big decision.

“But I went to see them at Wembley in 2009 and it was amazing. There was no way I was missing them in Birmingham.

“I did say I’d marry him in the morning and go to see them at night, but he said he would rather just wait.”

Debbie bought the £85-a-time tickets from BLC Event Tickets, an online company whose website she had used in the past to go and see other bands in concert.

But last week she got an e-mail from the firm saying that they had been let down by a supplier – and could no longer provide the seats she had bought.

“Gutted is not the word,” said unemployed Debbie, who suffers from depression. “It is so upsetting. I have been looking forward to it for ages. I postponed my wedding!
