Jay-Z's show at Alexandra Palace next month apparently sold out within 15 seconds of going on sale this morning (October 9).

Promoters Live Nation are claiming that tickets for the November 4 show in North London went within record-breaking time at 9am this morning.

Anyone trying to buy tickets at 16 seconds past nine had no chance of getting them.

Those who bought the tickets we assume entered their credit card details in the lightning speed time of sub-15 seconds, which, by my reckoning, is a world record in itself!

The news officially makes Jay-Z the Usain Bolt of tickets sales. Will anybody beat him?
