Stones’ tickets gone in 30 minutes

Fans snap up tickets for veteran British rockers’ first stadium concert in France for seven years

TICKETS for the Rolling Stones’ concert at Stade de France on June 13 sold out within 30 minutes of going on sale today.

The ticket office opened at 10am, and closed again at 10.30am.

The band’s world tour will resume in the Netherlands on June 7, after being put on hold following the death of L’Wren Scott, the long-time partner of lead singer Mick Jagger.

The Rolling Stones were the first band to perform live at Stade de France in 1998, but this will be their first stadium gig in the country for seven years.
