Madonna sells out

Tickets for Madonna’s gig in Manchester went on sale on Friday, May 21 – and all 14,000 sold out within an hour.

Hundreds of Madonna fans queued at the M.E.N. Arena on Friday morning as the rush to snap up tickets for her first concert in the city in 20 years reached fever pitch.

Some had been in line from 9am yesterday morning for tickets for the August 15 extravaganza, which has already been hailed as the biggest Arena show ever.

Meanwhile, online and telephone ticket sellers struggled to cope with the number of users trying to get their hands on tickets for Madonna’s first Manchester gig in two decades.

The cheapest ticket was on sale for £75, while the most expensive was £150.
