1. Ticket prices
2. Black Ice (well, about 3/5ths of it) is a pretty good record

Please understand that the Stones were playing stadiums at a high price tag. Where AC DC is playing inside arenas for a much lower price tag.
If both tours played at the exact same places and were priced the exact same. Dont fool yourself....The Stones are the greatest.

Only insane people like you keep saying the stones are the greatest.
they used to be amazing , but they're not so good now , you should see how many hundreds of thousands of bands play better than the stones.
the stones ain't the only thing in the world , you sound like my sister " Oh Hannah Montana is the greatest!!" just because she's the greatest and she's the greatest , that's the same with you , " the stones are the greatest!"
i cant say acdc is better than them , they're both good , but none of the both are so talented.
they are famous in the same amount of fans , they've been good rockers since a long time ago , but also you should think of other stuff .
You sound like sick 5-year old girls discussing at school.

They're both awesome badass bands....
personally, i classify ACDC as harder rock, but not as talented a band. Songwriting and sound variation are clearly better with the stones.
Also, I would say that A Bigger Bang is better album than Black Ice. Thoughts?

I don't have a clue of what happened this time around.
In the past 20 years or more - let's say from fly on the wall onwards - AC DC's releases were not exactly an event and stadiums did not sell out easily.
I don't think the latest release cold ice is any better than the past 3 / 4 cds- yet bingo! And sold out tour too.
Guess the thread should be renamed Columbia Records v. Virgin ...

If the Stones trim down their stage production the tickets would go down.

Think back a decade to the tour when the Stones DID reduce their overheads (ie, playing indoors, more modest staging, smaller crew etc) namely the No Security tour - and that was the first tour when the ticket prices went through the roof.

Doxa:
to be fair, my ABB ticket was only 15 euros more expensive than the AC/DC one (75), and the production of the Stones show can't compare with AC/DC.
Last time I saw AC/DC the ticket was 28 euros.
As for Metallica being "fan friendly", go ask the same question to the filesharing communities ...
