She’s certainly the hottest ticket in town.

Tickets released for the UK leg of Beyoncé’s forthcoming Mrs. Carter World Tour sold out within 10 minutes, according to Ticketmaster. Now UK fans looking to catch Mrs. Carter have the option of using sites like eBay and Viagogo, where tickets are going for as much as £660 (approximately $1,000), reports the Daily Mail. A thousand dollars for concert tickets? Believe it or not, there are a few die-hard fans out there who would go above and Beyoncé (we had to put that in there) to see their Queen.

A $1,000 concert ticket could potentially break our bank, but hey, if you’ve got it, you’re free to spend it how you like. Have you ever splurged and spent a couple hundred to see your favorite artist in concert? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below.
