LOCALS have joined the queue to snap up tickets for the Millennium Dome.

Tickets for the Greenwich attraction went on sale in Prestwich and Whitefield on Wednesday (Sept 22) - 100 days before it is opened by the Queen on New Year's Eve.

Mr Richard Sharples, Millennium Experience education manager, launched the local sales at Tesco in Prestwich.

They cost at £20 - £57 for a family of four - from National Lottery outlets.
