It started quickly and ended very quickly for Madonna fans today as pre-sale tickets for her only UK show sold out within minutes. Many fans queued virtually to be in with a chance of seeing the Queen of Pop in London later this year.
It comes after Madonna announced a huge, global tour, The Celebration, to her loyal fan base yesterday (January 17), which will celebrate 40 years of her music career.
Her followers had a chance of getting early access to tickets today via Ticketmaster and AXS. Those who were members of Madonna's Legacy fan club had access to tickets from 9am on Wednesday, January 18, while those with O2 Priority could get tickets to her London show from 11am.

Madonna's only UK show as part of her 35-date tour is at London's O2 Arena so demand was incredibly high for the October 14 date, and as such tickets quickly sold out within minutes of O2 opening their Priority queues.
There is hope for those who missed out on tickets today though, and while there is speculation mounting that The 'Vogue' singer may add more UK dates, there is another pre-sale opportunity starting tomorrow for her UK and European shows.
Live Nation is offering fans another chance of early access to tickets from 9am on Thursday, January 19. Madonna fans will just need to follow this simple step to be in with another chance of getting tickets ahead of the general sale, which takes place on Friday, Jnauary 20 at 10am via Ticketmaster.
Simply sign up to the pre-sale with Live Nation for free here. You will need to set up a Live Nation account first if you don't have one already. Once you are signed in to your account click the 'register' button on the Madonna page and you're in. Live Nation can send you a reminder if you go to 'set reminder' before the pre-sale opens at 9am on Thursday.
Live Nation will not send you a special code for pre-sale, fans just need to log into their Live Nation account on the day and access the pre-sale Madonna link on the page.
If you are not successful in tomorrow's pre-sale then general sale takes place via Ticketmaster on Friday, January 20 at 10am.
