Tickets for a pop concert to mark the 10th
anniversary of Princess Diana's death sold out in minutes on Wednesday,
organizers said.
The concert, organized by Diana's sons Princes Harry and William, will
take place at the new Wembley stadium in London next July and feature acts
including Elton John, Duran Duran and Pharrell Williams.
"The initial allocation of tickets has now been sold and we hope more
tickets will be available at a later date," said a spokeswoman for the
princes.
The face value of tickets is 45 pounds ($89) each, although they
attracted bids of up to 500 pounds each on the online auction site
www.ebay.co.uk early on Wednesday.
There is speculation that John may repeat his performance of the modified version of "Candle In the
Wind" which he sang at Diana's funeral. He had vowed he would never play
it again unless asked by the princes.
The record went on to become the fastest selling single of all time and
the proceeds went to charity.
