The new Barclay Center in Brooklyn lost out on the chance to get the first two Rolling Stones 50th anniversary U.S. concerts due scheduling conflicts with the New Jersey Nets home NBA schedule.  Needing three nights so that simulcast gear for a pay-for-view production of the second concert could be set up and tested on the off day in between, the band opted to book the dates for Dec. 13 & 15 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey instead.  Tickets for those two dates sold out so rapidly that the Stones have arranged to squeeze in a single night in the Brooklyn venue on Dec. 8, an off night between two Nets games.  Tickets for the Barclay Center date go on sale 11/19.
