“With over 450,000 searches on our site for ‘One Love Manchester’ over the last 24 hours, demand was always going to be extremely high," they added. "We are happy to report that there are thousands of fans who successfully purchased tickets during the general onsale.”
All proceeds from the show, which is taking place on June 4 at the Emirates Old Trafford Stadium, are going to the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund, which was set up by the Manchester City Council in partnership with the British Red Cross. The funds will aid victims of the recent terrorist attack at a Grande concert that killed 22 people.
