| Monkeys tour tackles ticket touts |
Rock group Arctic Monkeys will only sell tickets for their forthcoming tour to fans who register on their website.
The band have set up a balloting system so only people who join their mailing list will be eligible to buy tickets.
"We are trying hard to fight against touting and invite you to take part in a fair ballot to get tickets," they said in a message on their website.
Fans have until 1900GMT on Wednesday to register. Winners will be selected at random, and the tour begins in April. The Sheffield group release their second album, Favourite Worst Nightmare, on 23 April - the day after the tour ends.
Single Brianstorm hits shops a week before, but is expected to enter the top 10 after it becomes available for download on 2 April. Their first album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not became the UK's fastest-selling debut in 2006, selling 360,000 copies in its first week of release.
It won the group a Mercury Prize later in the year. More recently, they picked up Brit awards for best British group and best British album. |
