Radiohead announced earlier this week a number of dates for their upcoming world tour, and when tickets went on sale on Friday, they sold out within minutes. Now, the fans that weren’t able to land their tickets are outraged.

Following the quick sellout, Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke warned their fans about purchasing tickets from secondary sites like StubHub.

“All headline shows are now sold out. Despite the strict rules, tickets inevitably will find their way onto secondary ticketing sites…” Yorke tweeted Friday afternoon. “If you’re thinking of buying a ticket from a secondary sites PLEASE PLEASE carefully check the original rules of the venue concerned…”

“MANY OF THE TICKETS WILL BE NAMED & STRINGENT ID CHECKS WILL BE IN PLACE; YOU RISK BEING REFUSED ENTRY TO THE VENUE,” Yorke continued, linking to a schedule of their tour. “We hope you understand the need to put such measures in place to give more fans a chance to get to the shows.”

StubHub does have several thousand Radiohead tickets for sale. However, fans will have to pay a hefty price if they choose to purchase them. The cheapest ticket for a larger venue like Madison Square Garden in New York is $190, and the ticket prices go up to $1,215.
