Fans of Brit pop survivors Oasis went supersonic in their quest for tickets for their first Brighton gig since 1994.

About 5,000 tickets went on sale at 9am on Saturday for the band's show at the Brighton Centre in December.

The central ticket line sold out of its allocation within 15 minutes and the Brighton box office sold out an hour later.

Fans camped out overnight to ensure they could snap up the prized tickets. Thousands more tried phone lines and internet booking agents.

By 3pm, some people with tickets were offering them on internet auction site ebay for £150 - more than five times the cover price.
