A shocked woman found two old tickets for a Luciano Pavarotti concert in the pocket of a £1 charity shop jacket.

Savvy Kay Walker snapped up the black blazer for the bargain price.

But she was stunned when she reached into the pocket and found the pair of £55 tickets.

They were for a Pavarotti show at the Manchester Arena on 30 September, 1995.

The tenor – famous for singing Nessun Dorma for the Italia 90 World Cup – died in 2007 aged 71.

Kay, 54, bought it at the Emmaus Mossley homeless charity shop in Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester.

She said: “I couldn’t believe it when I found the tickets in my pocket.

“I usually wash everything we get from the charity shop but it was so last minute I shoved it on as we went out the door.

“It wasn’t until I got to the venue of the party that I put my hand in my pocket and found the tickets.

“I wouldn’t call myself a die hard Pavarotti fan but of course I know a lot of his famous songs.

“We did Google it after to see when his last gig was and found out he’d passed away 15 years ago.”

She was with her 27-year-old daughter Ellena when she bought it and then found the tickets.

“We’re always going to concerts at the Manchester arena together but I couldn’t have taken Ellena to Pavarotti as she wasn’t even born yet.”

Open University worker Ellena, from Hyde, said: “We were laughing our heads off when we found them.

“My mum purchased the jacket from Emmaus Mossley, a huge charity shop that helps support homeless people.

“She purchased it on the day she wore it.

“There’s been so many times we’ve had nothing to wear somewhere and we’ve got an outfit at the last minute because we literally go charity shopping together every Saturday.

“She had no clue there was anything in the pockets, we only usually find either receipts or toffees.

“But never concert tickets.”
