JERUSALEM — Tickets for a Leonard Cohen concert to benefit Palestinian and Israeli peace groups sold out in less than a day, an Israeli ticket agent said Sunday.

The 47,000 tickets for the Sept. 24 concert at a stadium near Tel Aviv went on sale Saturday evening, and by Sunday afternoon they were all gone, ticket agent Avi Messing said.

“All of Israel is coming to watch Leonard Cohen. It’s really great,” Messing said.

Prices ranged from $90 to $315.
