Excitement for Black Sabbath's reunion gig is spreading after tickets went on general sale. Fans who managed to secure tickets in the scramble were celebrating on Friday, while those less fortunate tried not to feel too "paranoid".

Easily the most insignificant piece of “music” ever committed to tape by Black Sabbath’s original foursome, “FX,” from 1972’s otherwise spectacular Vol. 4, offers nothing but muted, echoing sound effects, resembling some kind of meaningless S.O.S. dots and dashes. The only thing honest about this is its title. —Ed Rivadavia

Black Sabbath tickets system branded 'absolute shambles' as thousands of fans miss out - Tickets to Ozzy Osbourne’s one-off Back To The Beginning show sold out in minutes

They start at about £200 including booking fees, and can run to thousands of pounds for premium options, but that will not put off Alex Woodford who says he is willing to pay up to £2,000 on tickets for himself and his brother.

Black Sabbath fans have been left fuming after tickets for the band's final ever show sold out in just 16 minutes, with some branding those who managed to get tickets 'fake fans'.

Black Sabbath tickets are on sale today from 9:45am and it's an epic lineup of music legends you won't want to miss.
