Spice Girls banned from offering free tickets

The Spice Girls have been banned from offering free tickets for their comeback tour to their showbiz friends.

According to a report in The Sun today, the girls' manager Simon Fuller decided to enforce the ban because he is determined to earn as much cash from the tour as possible.

The news means that A-listers like Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, who are friends with Victoria Beckham, will have to buy their own tickets if they wish to attend a concert.

The tour kicks off in Vancouver, Canada tomorrow night.
