Tickets to see the first British reunion shows by Cream, guitarist Eric Clapton's 1960s supergroup, in almost four decades were selling for more than 1,000 pounds.
Tickets for the trio's four nights at the Royal Albert Hall in London during May sold out in less than two hours when they went on sale earlier this week, carrying a face value of no more than 125 pounds.
Now, some Internet sites are re-selling tickets for up to 1,300 pounds, the Press Association said. Others were being advertised on auction website eBay for up 650 pounds for a pair, it added.
Cream, also comprising bassist and vocalist Jack Bruce and drummer Ginger Baker, were hugely popular in their heyday with hits such as "Sunshine of Your Love" and "Strange Brew".
They split up amid acrimony in 1968, and since then have only got back together once, in 1993, for the group's induction into the US-based Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame.
Despite the reunion, Baker and Bruce, whose mutual dislike of each other prompted the split, are far from friends.
"Cream split up in November 1968 because I couldn't stand being in his presence," Baker was quoted as saying recently.
"At the reunion, we'll play music together but we don't have to talk to each other."
