Under-35s lead a Bayeux Tapestry ticket rush that outspent the opening mornings of Spider-Man and the person

The second batch of Bayeux Tapestry tickets sold out within three hours, with under-35s accounting for 55% of first-hour buyers.Tom Holland starred in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, whose opening morning generated £6,300 — less than half the £14,100 spent on Bayeux Tapestry tickets in the same window.
Monzo customers spent £14,100 at the British Museum in the first hour of last Wednesday's sale, 48 times a normal Wednesday morning. More than 89,000 people sat in the virtual queue for slots between January and March 2027. The second batch of tickets sold out within three hours. The 1,000-year-old embroidery is on show in England for the first time since the 11th century.
Bayeux buyers spent £97 on average at checkout, against £19 for Spider-Man.
Two-hour spending hit £30,500, 60% more than a Saturday night across six top clubs.
The British Museum has banned visitors' photos after calling the response 'extraordinary'.
