My mum spent 17 hours in tickettek lobby and my dad and 2 friends spent 5 hours for my phone to get in twice in 30 minutes to purchase 2 hotel packages 💀

Record ticket sales and people burning tickets?

In just minutes as tickettek opened its site for eager One Direction fans to buy their tickets to the band of their dreams, they were sold out. 

"More than 10,000 tickets over the three concerts were snapped up in less than 10 minutes."

But, half the tickets weren't snatched up by fans. A third of them were snapped up by non-fans and people who want to make a profit. Which made some fans very very angry.

"We were up at the crack of dawn eagerly awaiting the site to open when some were locked out of the website, had problems with it, went to buy the ticket and had the site crash etc, when somehow people who truly dislike them managed to get their hands on 5 tickets!"

Those tickets were up on sites like trade me, ebay, and amazon for almost 500$ a piece for nosebleeds. Which is 5x the amount that people would have been paying for them had they been able to buy them.

"It’s ugly. It’s unfair. It’s cruel."

What really pissed off the directioners though which got the web buzzing was a guy posting a picture of himself burning a much wanted One Direction ticket. We have no word on who this guy is, what his name is, or what his twitter is. But, we will tell you as soon as we know.
