Sold out!

All tickets are sold out. VS. All tickets have sold out. I think that it is a similar problem to 'is gone' VS. 'has gone' and according to Longman dictionary, 'Has/is sold out' has the same meaning and even I feel like 'sell out' has the same meaning with 'is sold out' and 'has sold out'. So I think that all of them are interchangeable. What do native English speakers think? Thank you a million and I hope to hear from you. Have a nice and safe day!!
