Scalpers cash in on Grande concert
Tickets to Ariana Grande's One Love Manchester benefit concert sells out in six minutes, causing a massive spike in prices on eBay.
The ticketing company had promised all those who attended the original Ariana Grande concert would be able to attend the fundraiser for free. However, those plans were stalled when an estimated 10,000 people who didn't attend the original concert applied for a free seat.

The benefit concert was established after 22 people were killed by a suicide bomber as Grande's Manchester show came to an end. The youngest victim was just 8-years-old.
All of the money raised at the benefit concert will be funnelled into the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund. The fund was set up by the Manchester City Council in partnership with the British Red Cross in the days after the attack to assist victims and their families.
A spokeswoman for Live Nation said Grande's Dangerous Woman tour is scheduled to recommence in Paris on June 7.
"After the conclusion of the European tour, the tour will continue to South America, Central America, Mexico, Asia, Australia and New Zealand as currently scheduled," she said.
The One Love Manchester concert will be held on Sunday June 4 in Manchester. It will be broadcast on BBC Television, radio and around the world.
