Jay-Z's Alexandra Palace gig on 4th November 2009 has sold out.

Update (9th Oct) Tickets were available on Live Nation and Ticketmaster, but allocations sold out on Friday 9th October in a record 15 seconds, which to be honest is expected - Ally Pally holds 7,000 against the Roundhouse's 2,000, so there's extra capacity but it's not Wembley Stadium or the O2. There's currently tickets from around £60 on Viagogo or Seatwave.
