Tickets for The Rolling Stones two U.S. concerts went on sale today and both the December 13th and December 15th shows at The Prudential Center in New Jersey sold out immediately. In an unprecedented demand fans snapped up tickets for The Stones - '50 and Counting' in minutes when outlets opened up for business at 12 noon.

Last week the two London concerts at the O2 Arena were also an immediate sell out.

Earlier this month Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood confirmed their long awaited return to the stage with four spectacular arena shows on both sides of the Atlantic.
