Robbie Williams confirmed the dates of his world tour today, as managers warned fans to avoid rogue ticket sellers.
The singer, whose new album Intensive Care is at no 1 in the charts, will be performing in the UK in September 2006.
However, chances to see him in this country are limited, as just four gigs are scheduled, two at Wembley Stadium (which is due to open next spring) one in Leeds and one at Hampden Park in Glasgow.
The world schedule includes six appearances in Germany, as well as shows in South Africa, Ireland, Belgium, Frace, Sweden, Denmark, The Netherlands, Hungary, Austria, Italy and Switzerland.
No dates are scheduled in America, where Intensive Care is only released in a digital format.
Earlier this week, several online agencies advertised tickets for the tour, listing 'provisional' dates in Manchester and Cardiff in July, where the singer in fact has no plans to perform.
''The public should watch out for unauthorised tickets and ticket agencies claiming to have tickets for these dates. If in doubt, contact the local promoter,' said Ian Huffman, the tour's official agent.
Tickets for the gigs go on sale on November 19, but subscribers to Robbie Williams' website (membership of which costs £25) can buy them online from today.
The strategy of selling advance tickets to website members was piloted when U2 launched their tour earlier this year. Although meant to give an advantage to committed supporters, the technique was criticised after several touts subscribed to the Irish band's website, then sold their tickets online for a profit.
Intensive Care sold 383,000 copies in its first week, making it this year's second fastest-selling album, after Coldplay’s X&Y.'
