Tickets to see The Rolling Stones in London this November sold out instantly this morning, leaving many fans frustrated as their attempts to purchase tickets proved fruitless.

Despite tickets to see the legendary rockers costing between £90 and £375 each, demand for the gig was extremely high and many fans found themselves unable to get onto the Ticketmaster website to purchase the tickets when they became available at 9am this morning.

All 30,000 tickets for the two dates at London's 02 Arena were snapped up immediately with many fans expressing their frustration online:

Tickets to see The Rolling Stones in London are already listed on eBay with prices currently reaching £5,800 for two tickets. Many other pairs of tickets are being sold for thousands each.

Guitarist Keith Richards admitted this week that he hates charging "over the top prices" for tickets, but expects to pocket around £16m from the shows.
