Avril Tickets Gone in Minutes

Avril Lavigne tickets sold out in less than 15 minutes, leaving fans like 17-year old Amanda Fantin, who waited in line for 14 hours, in tears.

"I cried," said Fantin. "I was four people away when it sold out."

With many believing the line-up presented a better chance than the virtual waiting room online, the line-up snaked around the arena made up of several hundred fans. Fantin estimated that she was about 50 or so people away from the start of the line.

"It went so fast. They were only taking three at a time. Not all the toll booths were working because of the Pow Wow."

This is not the first time she has sat in line all night to get tickets. Fantin also pulled an all nighter, getting frost bite and hypothermia, to buy her parents tickets to the Elton John concert.

She figured that she would be able to get tickets to see the Canadian punk rock singer because she was at a similar place in line.
However, this show sold out much faster.

"Everyone started screaming (when they annouced it was sold out) and got on their cell phones to the radio station," she said. "I just stood there in line for another 1/2 hour in case someone felt sorry for me and had some extra tickets."
