Girls Aloud have seen a fall in demand for tickets for their upcoming reunion tour.

The group's 'Ten: Greatest Hits Tour' was announced last October, and demand for tickets reached 100,000 searches before the tickets had even gone on sale.

But ticket-seller website Viagogo reports that fans are already trying to sell off unwanted tickets on the site, and are having to offer them at less than their face value.

The lowest-priced ticket for sale costs £26, which is a notable reduction from the face value of £37.50.

By way of comparison, tickets for girl's 2007 tour saw the average ticket price soar to £72.

"The last time Girls Aloud toured we saw unrivalled ticket demand, so we're really surprised to see tickets now trading for less than their face value," Viagogo spokesperson Ed Parkinson admits.

"However, we're sure pop fans who want to wish the girls a final farewell will jump at this chance of a last-minute bargin."

Fans of the world-famous girl group had hoped that last year's release of a greatest hits album and the forthcoming reunion tour was the start of a full time reunion that would see the group producing new music together.

But over the weekend it was reported that the group would be splitting at the end of this tour, and that it had always been Girls Aloud's intention for it to be a farewell tour, according to a source close to the group.

It had been thought that the demand for tickets for the farewell shows would mean the group would add extra dates to the tour, though with the news of declining demand this might be less likely.

Over the weekend the girl group's PR company catagorically denied rumours that Girls Aloud may be putting forward a song to represent the UK in this year's Eurovision Song Contest.

PR company Supersonic said the "story isn't true" and that the claims were "so ridiculous."
