Tickets for T in the Park sold out in 40 minutes, its organisers have said.

About 40,000 tickets went for the festival in Balado, Kinross, in July. Around 35,000 were already sold last July straight after last year's event.

All the passes available were sold on the internet and at stores in Scotland by 9.40pm.

However, festival organiser Geoff Ellis said more may go on sale at a later date. He explained: "Once the final capacity for the site is agreed, multiple bookings are made void and where possible, online lots are cancelled, a second batch of tickets will go on sale in the coming weeks."

Acts confirmed for the festival include Snow Patrol, the Killers, Arctic Monkeys, Paulo Nutini and the Scissor Sisters.
