The Rolling Stones sold out their Nov. 25 and 29 shows at London's O2 Arena in just seven minutes, according to multiple reports. Fans apparently snapped up the arena's least expensive seats, priced around $152, in just three minutes, while the priciest seats at around $601 were gone a few minutes later.

The high traffic caused Ticketmaster to crash before the tickets had sold out. A holding page read, "We're experiencing high demand. You will be automatically directed to the page requested as soon as it becomes available. Thank you for your patience." Resale websites are already listing tickets for as much as $20,050.

Presale for the Dec. 13 and 15 shows at Newark's Prudential Center will start Saturday at noon EST, with a general on-sale following on Oct. 26. For more information, visit the Rolling Stones' website.
