Monty Python reunion show sells out in 43 seconds

London (CNN) -- Tickets for the Monty Python reunion performance went on sale on Monday for as little as £32 ($51), sold out in 43 seconds and promptly resurfaced on the auction site eBay for £750 ($1212). As one of Eric Idle's characters says in the movie, "The Life of Brian:" "We're supposed to haggle!"

After tickets for the show at London's O2 Arena on July 1 sold out, the PR agency for the event announced more shows on July 2-5. The performance will be the five surviving stars' first show on stage together since appearing at the Hollywood Bowl in September 1980.

Tickets are priced from £32 to £106 ($171) including booking fees, with full details announced on the troupe's website montyphythonlive.com. Hours after they went on sale, many tickets were on sale on eBay.

Idle tweeted: "This pretty much took us by surprise, so we are talking about adding more shows."

Idle, John Cleese, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones and the late Graham Chapman became comedic legends with the creation of Monty Python's Flying Circus in October 1969. They produced 45 TV episodes for the BBC and five films together before going their separate ways in 1983.

I loved them at the time.... and love the old sketches still. :fish :slap

But.... I wonder if the show will just be them doing old sketches? That has been done on stage already many times.

It would have limited appeal to me. :cool
