Zagreb U2 concert sold out in 12 hours

Description:

All 63,000 tickets for U2's Zagreb concert were sold in fewer than 12 hours yesterday (Fri).
Tickets went on sale online from 00:01am and from 9 am at CD-shops and tourist agencies.
Because of extremely-large interest in the concert, the www.ticketpro.hr server went down several times during the night and early in the morning.
Many people who remained in front of ticket shops all night had to go home without tickets in the morning.
Many fans arrived in Zagreb from other Croatian cities by 7 pm on Thursday and camped in front of shops. Most of them were students who had brought blankets, food, drinks and reading material.
According to Lupa promotion agency, 7,000 tickets were sold in the first three hours.
U2's concert will be held on 10 August at Maksimir stadium in Zagreb.
Concert organizers are said to be trying to negotiate an additional U2 concert in Zagreb.
