Briefs for the annual extravaganza went on public sale on December 1, with prices ranging from 23 to 55 for standard seats.

But website Get Me In, which allows members of the public to buy and sell tickets, is already selling some tickets at four times the face value. Last year, the website was forced to remove tickets which went on sale before Tattoo organisers had officially released any.
