'An evening with Terry' - John Terry charging massive £500 to have dinner with him in one-man country tour

Former Chelsea defender John Terry has embarked on an interesting side hustle as he is charging up to £100 for an autograph.

Terry, a former England captain, has embarked on a unique solo tour in England where he will grace a number of cities with his presence.

From the tour, an event dubbed “An Evening with Terry” will be held, where fans will get admission for £25 per ticket.

Typically, getting into an event hosted by a celebrity is usually all it takes to have a chance to acess them and perhaps ask for a memento such as an autograph.

For this one, however, things will be a bit different as John Terry will charge £100 for an autograph to ink his signature on fans’ preferred items.

According to GOAL, there are other exclusive packages for the more extravagant fans. A sponsorship package, which involves a table of 10 individuals goes for £5,000 which translates to each member paying £500 to have a chance to dine with the Chelsea legend.

The package also puts the fans in line to possibly have an item of their choosing autographed as well as having a picture with the former defender.

While this seems like quite the extravagant way to meet a Premier League legend, The Telegraph reports that tickets in Bournemouth and London have already been sold out.

In Birmingham, fans have already sold out the the £150 "platinum package," which entails a front row seat and a photo with Terry, but no guarantee of an autograph.
