18,000 Top Gear Live tickets in limbo as Clarkson's BBC future lies in the balance
Four Top Gear Live show scheduled to appear in Norway this week have been postponed as the BBC concludes its investigation into Jeremy Clarkson’s ‘fracas’.
The four events have been cast into uncertainty as the corporation continues looking into Clarkson’s alleged assault of Top Gear producer Oisin Tymon.
The roadshow, set to be held in Stavanger on 27 and 28 March, shifted around 18,000 tickets for between £45 and £100 each, according to the Guardian.
A spokesman for the event, told the Guardian: “Top Gear Live regrets to inform ticket holders for next week’s shows in Stavanger, Norway, that we will be postponing all four performances, with rescheduled dates for later this year to be confirmed within the next fortnight.
“We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this will cause fans and we will endeavour to contact all ticket holders directly to inform them of the change of date.”
This follows the BBC coming under pressure from fans of Clarkson on Friday in a lavish protest which saw a tank, driven by a man dressed as the Stig, deliver a petition with one million signatures calling for the reinstatement of the Top Gear host.
