It is sure to be popular but tickets — which go on sale this Monday — are not cheap. They start at €51 each, you can get Meet & Greet tickets for €235, while the ‘VVIP Experience’ will set you back an eye-watering €580 (more info here).
That is limited to 50 people and includes a reception with Eric, a glass of champagne, Row A or B seat in the stalls, a large signed photograph of the great man and a professionally-taken photo of you and him that will be framed on the night. He’ll also sign an item that you bring along yourself.
