Action News asked fans on Twitter if they were able to order any tickets.

"I was on right at 10 and they sold out."

"No! And I logged on exactly at 10am and I just wanted 3 standing room tickets!"

"How is it even possible to get these? I'd love to find out who actually got them and how they did it!"
