The remaining 40,000 tickets for this year's T in the Park music festival sold out within one hour of going on sale yesterday.
Music lovers started queuing on Thursday to get their hands on the last tickets, which went on sale at 9am yesterday.
This year's event will be headlined by REM and The Verve in what organisers are hailing a "mega line-up".
The first 40,000 tickets went on sale straight after the festival last year, and were snapped up in just 69 minutes.
The Verve will play the main stage on the Friday night, while REM will appear there on the Sunday evening.
Kings of Leon and heavy metal outfit Rage Against The Machine have also been announced as headliners.
Other confirmed acts include the Kaiser Chiefs, The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, Primal Scream and KT Tunstall.
The festival at Balado, by Kinross, is Scotland's biggest outdoor music event. This year it takes place from Friday July 11 to Sunday July 13.
Festival director Geoff Ellis said: "It is a testament to both the stature of the event and the dedication of T in the Park's fans that tickets have sold out so quickly."
