Ariana's Manchester benefit concert sells out in six minutes

Fans have rallied around Ariana Grande and shown their support for the victims of the Manchester attack, rushing to snap up tickets to the singer's benefit concert.

The charity concert One Love Manchester, which is due to take place this weekend, sold out in under six minutes with 45,000 tickets being snapped up.

Ariana is set to return to Manchester for the first time since since the attack, for the massive concert which will raise money for victims of last week’s suicide bombing.

She’s recruited some big names to join her at the event, with Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Coldplay, Katy Perry, Pharrell Williams, Usher, Niall Horan, Little Mix, Robbie Williams and Take That confirmed to perform.

According to E! News, the benefit show is expected to raise around $2.6 million.

The show will take place at the Emirates Old Trafford stadium on June 4, with all ticket sale proceeds going to the victims’ families via the Red Cross' We Love Manchester emergency fund.

All concertgoers from Ariana’s May 22 show will get free entry.

Meanwhile earlier this week TMZ reported that security measures will be ramped up at the concert, with Ticketmaster sending concertgoers an email recommending that for “speed of entry” they shouldn’t bring a bag.

Ariana originally announced the concert on May 26 in a heartfelt letter posted to Twitter, hinting that a bunch of stars had already volunteered their services.

“I want to thank my fellow musicians and friends for reaching out to be a part of our expression of love for Manchester,” she wrote.
