Beyoncé UK tour sells out in "three minutes"

Beyoncé's forthcoming UK tour sold out within a staggering three minutes, according to live music website Stereoboard.

The superstar singer is due to perform eleven shows in the country in April and May and tickets went on sale today (February 23) at 9.30am UK time.

Demand was expected to be huge, with one million people estimated to be interested in tickets.

Stereoboard reports that the tickets sold out in a breathtaking three minutes as fevered fans snapped up their chance to see their idol in action.

Ticketmaster meanwhile confirmed that the number of tickets made available to the public were limited due to a successful presale beforehand. They tweeted:

"And we're out - All dates for @Beyonce now sold out. Very few tickets were made available for today's general sale after busy presales. We're really sorry, demand was massive and we've sold out of our allocation. @Beyonce is the most popular solo artist in the world!"
