Springsteen Tickets Sell Out

Tickets for Bruce Springsteen's concert at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast on December 15 have sold out in record time.

It took just eight minutes for more than 10,000 tickets - costing £49 and £60 - to sell out.

The show sold out faster than Oasis' show at the Odyssey Arena in 2005, which previously held the record for the fastest selling show.

The Odyssey Arena date is one of 31 dates on a tour, which will take the Boss across America and Europe. It is one of only two shows in the UK and Ireland, with the other being in London's O2 Arena on December 19.

Springsteen last played in Belfast in November 2006, when he played to a packed house in the Odyssey on the last night of his Seeger Sessions tour.

This year's tour is the Boss' first with the E Street Band in the US and Europe since 2003.

The tour kicks off in Hartford, Connecticut in the US on October 2, the same day that Springsteen's new album 'Magic' is released.
