Tickets for Ariana Grande's UK tour sold out in less than 15 minutes due to overwhelming demand.
In case you missed it, general sale for the Eternal Sunshine Tour kicked off at 10am today (Thursday, September 18), and tickets were gone by 10.14am on Ticketmaster despite queues in the hundreds of thousands.
At the time of writing, you can still get hold of seats via resale platforms including StubHub, Viagogo and Ticombo.
The huge sell-out will come as no surprise to fans, as the American songstress is preparing to hit the road for the first time in over six years, and presale sparked a buying frenzy with 'over two million people' in the queue. Earlier this week, Grande even added five extra London O2 Arena show dates due to enormous demand.
On social media platform X, fans have expressed their frustration at not being able to get hold of tickets, despite joining lengthy queues.
"I was only 1,250 in the queue for Ariana Grande and when I got through, there was absolutely nothing," one tweeted. "I guess they sold all of the tickets during presale."

"I was in at 10:02am! and NOTHING," another said.
A third shared, "O2 Arena holds 20,000... and I can't get Ariana Grande tickets, even though I was within the first 6,000 in the queue, general and presale..."

On September 13, the singer issued a statement on Instagram Stories to apologise for the situation.
"Hi my angels, I have been on set all week but I wanted to let you know that what’s been happening with the secondary ticket resellers has been brought to my attention and of course I am incredibly bothered by it," she said.
"I've been on the phone every second of my free time fighting for a solution. I hear you and hopefully, we will be able to get more of these tickets into your hands instead of theirs. It’s not right.
"I just wanted you to know that my team and I see it and that I care very much and we will do, and are doing, everything we can. I love you so much and thank you for your patience and understanding."
