Tickets for Ariana Grande's charity concert, One Love Manchester, went on sale at 10:00 a.m. yesterday. Unsurprisingly, the show was sold out in less than 10 minutes.
Demand for the ticket have been extremely high, with some going as far as submitting fake applications for the free tickets reserved for concertgoers who attended Ariana's concert the night of the attack.
Fans were disgusted to find tickets up for resale on websites like eBay, Gumtree, and Stubhub at values between £200 to £500 ($258 to $645). The original tickets were sold for £40.
It's actually disgusting !
I saw one on eBay and it was like £300
Can people not respect what has happened ?
This angers me so much 😳💙— vicsavedme (@inthefrowfanx) June 1, 2017

Well done! Thank you for this! You should also be shutting and banning the accounts of anyone buying and selling them!

Gumtree, Seatwave, Viagogo, GETMEIN, and Stubhub have also banned touts reselling the One Love Manchester tickets.
