U2 tickets Amsterdam Arena sold out in 20 minutes

The tickets for the U2 concert in the Amsterdam Arena Stadium for July 13 were sold out in 20 minutes today.

Two extra concerts will be given, on July 15 and 16, and all 150,000 tickets are already sold out.
The normal prices for the tickets are E 50 to E 70, but it is expected that prices will go up on the black market.

Particularly on the free advertising website Marktplaats.nl many tickets are already offered. A search on 'U2' on this website around noon (2 hours after the start of the official sales!) resulted in 298 hits. Some of the ads offering tickets include a picture of the ticket.
