If you missed out on tickets this time around, your prayers have been answered. Teen heartthrobs-of-the-moment One Direction have announced a full New Zealand tour, but not until 2013.
The UK group announced a full tour of Australia and New Zealand on an Aussie TV show this morning. The exact dates or venues of the shows have not been confirmed.
Since coming third on the UK reality TV talent show, the group have gone on to amass more than 2.65 million Facebook fans and their video for the song What Makes You Beautiful has had more than 57 million YouTube hits.
One Direction, who are all aged under 20, sold out 80,000 seats in just 12 minutes in the UK earlier this year and beat Adele to pick up a Brit Award for Best British Single this week. Their album Up All Night debuted in the top 10 in more than 15 countries.
Tickets to the band's three New Zealand shows kicking off next week sold out in record time - 10,000 tickets in under 10 minutes.
Many fans - and parents - were distressed as they saw tickets up for audition on Trade Me just minutes after going on sale - some for more than five times their face value.
One Direction is currently touring Australia, where crowds of thousands of fans have lined the streets desperate to catch a glimpse of the group.
The band is expected to arrive in New Zealand next week ahead of three shows in Auckland and Wellington.
