Marilyn Manson sold out three of his five Australian shows within 10 minutes of tickets going on sale this morning, despite calls to have the tour cancelled.

Promoter Phoenix said Brisbane's Fortitude Music Hall on February 21 and both nights at Sydney's Enmore Theatre on February 26 and 27 were gone in 10 minutes. Melbourne and Adelaide have each passed 80 percent sold, and the promoter says it is working on adding one final show. The run is Manson's first in Australia in 12 years. Last week, Femicide Watch founder Sherele Moody said Manson "should be banned from touring in Australia," pointing to abuse allegations made by at least 15 women. Manson has consistently denied the allegations.
