Fans go crazy for UK dates of The Mrs Carter Show...
Tickets for Beyoncé's UK tour dates have sold out in a staggering 10 minutes.
General tickets were released at 9.30am this morning for the UK leg of The Mrs Carter Show world tour, but you would've had to have been quick to snap them up.
At 9.42am, Ticketmaster posted on Twitter the disappointing news for fans who were still trying to get through via their phone lines or online.
The message said: "And we're out - All dates for @Beyonce now sold out. Very few tickets were made available for today's general sale after busy presales. (sic)"
Olympic swimmer Rebecca Addlington tweeted: "3 computers, refreshing like crazy but no beyonce tickets! Hope anyone else trying has had more success!"
An influx of fans also took to the social media site to share their disappointment and vent their anger over huge volumes of presales, and ticket resale prices.
A spokesperson for ticket marketplace Viagogo said: “Beyoncé selling out in seconds is no surprise, as her Superbowl performance proved she’s still got it and fans are desperate for a chance to see Queen B in the flesh.
"What’s more interesting is seeing how popular she is in comparison to her husband. We’ve seen a 312 per cent spike in searches for Jay Z tickets since his US tour was confirmed this afternoon and rumours of European dates are rife.
"If both Carters tour in the UK this summer it will be the ultimate battle of Mr and Mrs.”
Due to high demand during presales, more dates had been announced in Manchester, London and Birmingham yesterday.
The Mrs Carter Show World Tour kicks in Birmingham on 26 April.

Beyonce fans left angry and ticketless at Manchester Arena

Hundreds of Beyonce fans trying to buy tickets for her UK tour were left disappointed today after they were turned away from the box office at Manchester Arena for ‘health and safety’ reasons.
Hundreds of Beyonce fans trying to buy tickets for her UK tour were left disappointed today after they were turned away from the box office at Manchester Arena for ‘health and safety’ reasons.
It is understood that some of the fans had camped out for up to 15 hours for the chance to see the superstar when she performs three gigs at the venue in May.
Tickets went on sale at 9.30am this morning - but fans on Twitter angrily claimed that they were turned away at the box office by security over fears of a crush.
One fan tweeted: “100s of Beyonce fans crushed and camped out. Turned away due to health and safety. Was no organisation. Appalling.”
Another said: “Hundreds of Beyonce fans have just been turned away from the box office due to health and safety. They refused to sell us tickets!”
The US singer - who thrilled millions with her spectacular performance at the Superbowl earlier this month - is visiting Manchester on May 7, 8 and 9 as part of her world tour.
Beyonce has named the tour The Mrs Carter Show in honour of her rapper husband JAY-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter.
All general release tickets for her 11-date UK arena tour, starting in Birmingham on April 26, sold out within 12 minutes. The Ticketmaster website even crashed as fans bombarded the site in the hope of snapping up the in-demand seats. The company tweeted at 9.42am to tell fans that all tickets had sold out.
But some quickly appeared on the online auction site eBay for hundreds of pounds over their face value. The seats, which originally cost £60-£90, were on offer for up to £1,000 a pair.
The pre-sale ticket run for the tour, which also includes dates at London’s O2 and Birmingham’s LG arena, sold out instantly earlier this week.
One of her celebrity fans, Olympic champion swimmer Rebecca Adlington, also posted of her anger at being unable to get tickets. She wrote: “Three computers, refreshing like crazy but no Beyonce tickets! Hope anyone else trying has had more success!”
