£2.50 Arcade Fire and Neil Young tickets accidentally sold for Hyde Park gigs

When a closed link for staff members to buy tickets for Arcade Fire and Neil Young's upcoming Hyde Park gigs for £2.50 was made public this morning it quickly went viral.

May of those who snapped up tickets did so in hope rather than expectation. They suspected that once the glitch was discovered the tickets would be withdrawn, but early signs suggest that the tickets will be accepted.

The glitch has been fixed. The general admission price is £59.50.

It's unclear how many punters availed of the opportunity, but it sounds like some people bagged themselves a bargain today.

Arcade Fire play on July 3 while Neil Young performs on July 12.
