Warning for Drake fans as general sale kicks off today: How to get tickets now
Drake fans have been issued a warning as general sale for the rapper's UK tour kicks off today (Friday, June 6).
Earlier this week, the Canadian icon dropped five huge UK tour dates, and presale sold out instantly. According to Manchester's Co-op Live, 250,000 fans queued for tickets, which is a new record for the northern arena - and as a result, fans are being warned to expect lengthy waits when general sale kicks off at 12pm on Friday.
The ticket frenzy is hardly surprising, as this is Drizzy's first UK tour in almost six years, and will see the singer perform massive gigs at Co-op Live and Birmingham's Utilita Arena.

What can fans expect from Drake's concert?
While details are still emerging, fans can look to Drizzy's recent gigs for a clue as to what the vibe will be.
At his show in Sydney back in February, Drake was filmed telling a fan holding a sign saying she was 20 weeks pregnant to get out of the mosh pit, he then gave her VIP tickets and $30,000 (£22,000).
It's nowhere near the first time he's done this, as last year he picked out a fan who completed chemotherapy for cancer and said she would be given $100,000 (£74,000).
