Wanna make a bet, you`ll find hundreds of tickets on ebay in a few days. 140 € for arena seating is far to much for german fans. This will be the first (and last?) tour that will not be sold out. So just wait for the scalpers to get nervous...
For me I´m getting tired of this money making jagger machine.

Scalpers have always been around. Put it the other way : take the bet that scalpers know the market, then the more you got them, the more succesful the tour is.

of course you'll find hundreds, maybe thousands of tickets on ebay

it doesn't mean they're selling badly. it just means scalpers have snapped em up hoping to make a profit

i doubt they will though. which is why i'll be leaving it until the last minute to snap any up that are going cheap

you get tix at ebay for every show and every band... u could also buy thousands of tix for u2 shows.

also, the licks tour wasn't sold out. in hamburg, 1/3 of the stadium were empty.

Which stadium show you are refering to, Simon ?

i think the stones will do well...they have had a sold out us tour without bang being a big hit...in europe bigger bang was a hit...so it should help sell even better....this could be the last time.....i don't know!

Maybe you are still 1/3 empty.

Just wrong! It wasn´t sold out, true,
but there were not many vacant seats.
Why are you bitching about Hamburg all the time?

I really think it's as much the "Cohl machine"... and probably a machine that's just grown out of hand... with layers of "leeches" and "bureaucracy"... of the t-shirts to the fan club memberships to the "charity tickets"... it's just a monstrosity of trying to grub every penny you can and the irony is that these extra dollars don't go to the Stones, they go to the bureaucrats and leeches in the Cohl operation.

"It's just that demon life has got me in it's sway..."

Money not going to the Stones...............quick let's have a whip round !
