Following his series of surprise London shows in February, Prince announced dates in Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow and Leeds, taking place later this month. Unsurprisingly, when the tickets were released today (May 2), they sold out in minutes.
The Purple One promptly added an extra date in Manchester, but many fans still struggled to snap up tickets. Furthermore, the £65 and upwards pricing caused many a raised eyebrow. Here are the best reactions from those who got tickets...and who didn't.
Anybody else get prince tickets ? NO ! Just me then #boom

Well, my attempt at buying Prince tickets ended about as well as my attempt at buying Lady Gaga tickets. In abject failure. Shite.
