Kylie fans hold onto tickets

Melbourne - Just 200 of the 220 000 tickets sold for the Australian leg of Kylie Minogue's Showgirl tour have been returned to the promoters.
The Frontier Touring company says it is surprised more fans have not been asking for their money back ever since the tour was cancelled last month when it was announced Kylie had breast cancer.
"Anyone needing urgent refunds can get them, but we're finding hardly anyone is doing that," a Frontier Touring spokesperson told the Sydney Daily Telegraph.
She added Frontier was still awaiting rescheduled dates from Kylie's camp.
Meanwhile, according to The Sydney Morning Herald the Cabrini hospital where Kylie is being treated has slammed reports that she had asked for her room to be painted pink ahead of her operation and that elderly patients had to be moved from their beds to accommodate special needs.
"The reporting of these inaccuracies represents a disappointing attack," said Mr Roger Greenman, CEO of Cabrini Health.
"During the period of Ms Minogue's stay, the coronary care unit had spare capacity. Elderly heart patients were not moved from their rooms. No rooms were repainted pink for Ms Minogue."
Kylie, who underwent surgery on May 20, is currently recuperating in Melbourne with her family and boyfriend French actor Oliver Martinez. - Ananova.com
