Rolling Stones tickets on resale sites despite not selling out

Tickets for the Rolling Stones’ gig in Croke Park have appeared on ticket reselling sites for multiple times their face value — despite the May gig not selling out.

Tickets for the rock stalwarts’ only Irish show of the year went on general sale from Ticketmaster yesterday at 9am, ranging in price from €70.45 to €181, not including booking fees or VIP packages.

Ticketmaster’s own Seatwave website, which sells ‘second-hand’ tickets, opened its market for Rolling Stones tickets at noon, and within an hour there were hundreds of tickets for sale, some at multiple times the face value cost.
