Fans win free One Direction tickets right before the concert

If you were anywhere near the CBD Thursday night you know that thousands of teenagers headed in One Direction towards the Superdome to watch the biggest boy band on the planet.

In the midst of the “Where We Are” tour, One Direction is in New Orleans playing a sold-out show of 50,000 plus.

Traffic backed up causing delays along Poydras St. where parents dropped off their kids.

An anonymous couple named Michelle and Tommy gave WGNO two free tickets to the One Direction show.

Watch the video above to see who “we” passed them on to.

One Direction’s been around since 2010 and are English and Irish decent.

They are the only band in the history of the us billboard charts to have their first three albums debut at number one.
