Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company (ADNEC) has revealed that all Gold and Platinum tickets to see Harry Connick Jr. Live at Abu Dhabi Hall, ADNEC on Sunday 16^th May have now sold  out.  The Jazz idol’s appearance on hit TV show American Idol, which was screened in the Middle East last Thursday, is believed to have caused the massive increase in demand for tickets.  Despite the surge in demand, limited silver and bronze tickets are still available to see the three time Grammy award-winner’s first event performance in the UAE.

Harry Connick Jr. who has sold more than 25 million records worldwide, is currently promoting his latest album “Your Songs”, a compilation of 14 classic popular songs which integrate a string orchestra with his big band, offering a distinctive approach. The album includes some of the best known work of contemporary song writers such as Lennon-McCartney’s “And I Love Her” as well as immortal classics such as “Mona Lisa”, “All the Way” and “Bésame Mucho,” which is sung in both Spanish and English.

Commenting on the increase in ticket demand, Christina Anthony, ADNEC Sales Director said, “Harry Connick Jr. is one of the world’s leading Jazz performers and his concerts are always very special.  His appearance on American Idol appears to have created many new fans of his music in the Middle East region and I am delighted that we have been able to provide those new fans with the opportunity to see him live in comfort at Abu Dhabi Hall.”
