"Tickets for Michael Jackson's 50-date residency at the O2 arena in London have completely sold out, organisers have confirmed.
Hundreds of fans queued at the venue as tickets went on sale to the public and over a quarter of a million people queued online.
More than a million tickets to see the veteran pop star have now been sold.
Some 360,000 tickets were sold to registered fans before sales opened on Friday morning.
Organisers say the This Is It tour has become the fastest-selling in history, with 33 seats sold each minute. Jackson is said to be "thrilled" by the response.
Pre-sale tickets for Jackson's first 10 dates sold out on Tuesday but some fans complained of "technical problems" trying to register online.
Ticketmaster director Chris Edmonds said demand was "unprecedented".
Tickets for the Jackson shows are already being sold on the online auction website eBay. Prices on the site range from £170 to £10,000, but tickets bought directly from the singer's website or Ticketmaster cost up to £75."
