Tell Me :
Talk
Yeah I have a friend in York, and he says the same thing. It's rough all over. Of course, everything the Stones do is in a vacuum anyway, like in '69 when they asked Jagger if they were charging too much and he says, 'I have no idea what people can afford'.
a 100 quid for three days of work??? your having a laugh! That would be well below minimum wage, Things are bad here but probably no worse then most of Europe and the States. I think the average full time employee would be on about 100 pounds a day and more if they live in London.

Aren't you just fantastic? Yeah. Everyone should be capable of taking home £60k a year. Elitist nonsense.
Who cares? You're making him sound like he has a solo career to rival Bob Dylan or the guitar chops of Segovia. He's a journeyman guitarist doing a solo project that has minimal interest - even amongst fans of the band he happens to be a member of.
If he was the big deal you're making him out to be, he'd be touring behind this record in larger venues, not having to rely on celebrity friends to fill a club.

Your probably right in net earnings, I was thinking in gross that the average was about £100
welcome to the forums Mr Cohl.
I figured I'd rile somebody up. Who cares what you think? Comparing Ronnie to SEGOVIA?? Hey what about Django Rheihart? Hell, he didn't even have five fingers on his left hand and look how he played!
It's only one show. It ain't like he's going around the globe at those prices. And even if he was, complaining about it ain't gonna change the guy's mind. Either you go to the show, or you wait for a shakey video to come out on YouTube. Those are the only choices you get. Pick one. At least you're in the vicinity of where he's playing. Try adding a plane ticket and hotel on top of those prices.
Ok, it takes four hours. Hey - it took me the better part of three decades to get here, and I'm gonna enjoy it while it lasts. Sorry if I hurt your feelings. I've missed plenty of shows because I couldn't afford it, if it makes you feel any better.
Er...I dont live in England. So I WOULD be adding a plane ticket and hotel accommodation on top of that...
His left hand was deformed. He played with only two fingers.
This gets more barmy by the minute.
Just checked... bought one ticket
It's OK, phoned 'em .......

Are you all sitting down? Cos you'll need to be.
Rows 3 - 6 are $495 via Fan Asylum.
Of course, don't forget the autographed CD, 2 drinks and laminate pass...
Good old Ronnie. Keepin' it real. £300 a ticket to see Ronnie Wood premiere new solo material, with the tease that a few unnamed special guests *might* show up and the promise of a Cd which is worth about £9, a worthless laminate and 'free' drinks sounds like jagger/cohl have been giving ronnie advice.
You honestly couldnt make this shit up.

£100 is more than 1 working day for an average worker in england. Probably closer to 2 or 3 days for most people.

Well maybe Ronnie is pricing the "public sales" tickets more in the £100 range...
In which case, he has serious delusions of grandeur. Think it was about £40 at the most to see him in 2005. Being tabloid fodder for the last couple of years doesnt make him suddenly a hot attraction musically. Can understand that kind of dough for the Stones, but Ronnie?
I think Ronnie's last album sold about 5,000 copies. As a solo attraction, he's not a big deal. £100 to see him play a few songs that hardly anyone will buy for just over an hour in a theatre?
Unless you're guaranteed a superstar line up, anyone who pays that is off their tits.
Must be rough over in merry old Engerland. Only takes me about 3 hours to make that much.

100 pounds net in one working day? If an average month has 20 working days, that's 2000 pounds a month AFTER tax. I don't think so...(to clarify, I don't think that's the average)
And Brue, a plumber can charge 100$ an hour too, but how many hours can he charge per month... besides, there is something so incredibly arrogant about your sentence... does it make you feel proud when you post something like that? Do you feel better than the average IORR poster then?

Didn't want to start a war here.
I don't live in the UK, just did a quick calculation based on average revenue (public statistics)...
Just didn't think that for most, a few hours at work would pay a ticket to Ronnie Wood.

Well Brue, you're righ about the choice that is to be made. Doesn't mean that these shows are the wisest marketing choice. The Stones themselves play $10 promotional shows before expensive tours and even overcharged tickets to stadium shows on the Licks tour in order to undercharge the theatre shows...
It's similar to the Wingless Angels pricing. I'm ok with the very exclusive signed edition, limited to 100 and priced accordingly - it sold out. However many would have been happy to shell out $100 for a deluxe edition but feel $250 is way too much. So instead they just buy the $20 edition...

I just tried to order a single ticket for myself (a devoted fan). It wouldnt let me because I only wanted one seat. I was going to drive 200+miles to see Ronnie then another 200+ back again after the show. Not sure who's wacky idea the 2 tix only rule is, but quite frankly, they can shove it up their arse. Theyre overpriced anyway, I'm not rich, but can have a week in the sun for the money this would have cost. I'll listen to Ronnies CD on the beach and watch the footage on YouTube. Ha!

I think there are only a few tickets left from cancelled translations or curious fans that didn't really wanted to attend the show. 6 seats left in the circle for the 7.30pm show, 10 in the stalls left for the 10.30pm show.
The annoying thing is that cancelled transactions are blocking the seats for a while (I think 20 minutes on this site), and later clients are offered worse tickets. People who bought a circle ticket this morning could easily get a stalls tonight...

Single tickets certainly now available Mark01942 if you're still interested.I just reserved G18 Circle for the 7.30 at £122.50 and now cancelled it - it really is just too much (unless it's The Rolling Stones)
