Fans are outraged at Ed Sheeran ticket re-sales when they saw that many of the Brit’s tickets are being sold for almost eight times their original price.
The singer is coming to the 3 Arena in April to kick off his European and U.K. tour and tickets don’t go on general sale until 10am on February 2nd.
Pre-sale tickets for the musicians concert in the 3 Arena went on sale from his website yesterday – but despite the website crashing, tickets sold out in 19 minutes.

However, many of the tickets ended up being sold on secondary websites online, such as Vivagogo.
Tickets on the ticket touting site are being sold for up to €800.
This is not the first time fans have been annoyed by the re-sale of tickets – tickets for U2’s Crowe Park gig disappointed many gig-goers as well.

People who buy tickets to concerts just to sell them at 6 times the price are actually biggest scum on earth. @edsheeran @StuartCamp pic.twitter.com/chZRndkHJg
