Hugely sought-after tickets for what could be some of the Rolling Stones' last gigs have appeared on internet resale sites for up to £15,400.

The 50th anniversary tour dates at the O2 arena in November originally sold out in seven minutes on the Ticketmaster website but have since appeared on the affiliated Get Me In resale site.

Two tickets in the A2 block directly in front of the stage are being touted for $15,400 despite their face value being around £375.

The band are rumoured to be retiring after the tour

Tens of others in less desirable seats are priced from £470-£14,300.

Harvey Goldsmith, a concert promoter who has organised tours for the Rolling Stones in the past voiced his dismay on Twitter:


Harvey Goldsmith
Why is it on rolling stones you can only get tickets through Get Me In. Nothing less than £660- 15400??

The tickets caused controversy even before they found their way onto resale sites. Prices started at £95 for a standing ticket and went up to £375.

Some of the astronomical prices being asked for

One fan wrote on a ticketing site: "These prices are a joke. To expect this sort of money just makes me lose a lot of respect for these guys."
