As previously reported, Bulgaria's News.bg is reporting that the upcoming concert from former NIGHTWISH singer, TARJA TURUNEN, noted a specific record in sales of tickets.

All seats in the Universiada Hall completely sold out. Therefore, organizers arranged that the show be moved to a hall with almost twice the capacity, "Festival".

All purchased tickets for the concert will be valid for the new hall.
