Rolling Stones tickets already on Trade Me

Just hours after the first Rolling Stones tickets went on sale today, some have already been advertised on auction website Trade Me.

The ageing English rockers will play two concerts in New Zealand in April.

The Rolling Stones will bring their Bigger Bang Tour to Western Springs in Auckland on April 16 and Westpac Stadium in Wellington on April 18.

Visa credit card holders had the opportunity to buy the first tickets today at 9am and general public ticket sales will open next Wednesday.

However, scalpers have made it easy for non-Visa card holders to get their hands on the prized tickets by advertising them on Trade Me.

So far people have bid between $75 and $375 for a range of tickets.

Ticketek are selling them for $55 for the cheapest seat, up to $350 for a premium ticket.
