Tickets for the upcoming Princess Diana memorial concert have been snapped up within minutes of going on sale.
Phone lines and internet booking began at 9am this morning, and closed only twenty minutes later. eBay says it plans to stop tickets being resold on its website due to the special nature of the event.
A spokesman noted: "In view of the unique and commemorative nature of the Concert for Diana event and as a mark of respect for the memory of the late Diana, Princess of Wales, eBay has decided to not allow the re-sale of tickets to this event on the site."
The full lineup for the July 1 concert has not yet been released, but already confirmed are Duran Duran, Pharrell Williams and Sir Elton John.
