More Golden Circle tickets for the concert featuring best-selling American R&B artist Usher have been released.

After an inspection of the Orlando Stadium venue in Soweto, safety officials have given Hansa Festival of Legends organisers, Big Concerts the go-ahead to increase capacity from the 4 000 Golden Circle tickets which have already been sold out, to 6 000.

"This means an extra 2 000 Golden Circle tickets, priced at R455 each, have been released for fans who might have thought they had missed out by not buying sooner," says Big Concerts Chief Operating Officer John Langford.

Other ticket categories - priced between R215 and R375 - for the March 10 event continue to show strong sales. Tickets are available through Computicket.

Voting for the top six of South Africa's rising urban music stars that have competed for the chance to open for Usher, closes on February 22. The public can vote for their favourite performers online www.hansapilsener.co.za, or via their mobiles (dial *120*793#)
