And if so: Do you think Bill and Mick T will get their fair share of the profit? Would you have paid £400 for a concert without Bill and (or) Mick T on the guestlist?

I blame the popcorn and beer...

Is the inclusion of Bill and Mick T the reason for those sky-high ticket prices

In order of inquiry:
no
what?
of course, I bought my tickets to see the Stones live and in person

I'm sure it would be a factor if Mick T and Bill W were earning the same cut as The Stones, but we know that isn't the case. It is not likely that Bill W will play the U.S. dates in December, so the answer is no. Besides, when have special guests ever accounted for a 400% increase in ticket sales? They would have to be 4 times as big as The Stones. If Michael Cohl were still their promoter, such ticket prices would be unlikely.

Of course. Bill takes it all. And the London politicians with the overtime fee of 100.000 dollars. Like Mick said it cost like 10 tickets. No wonder the shows are expensive!

My opinion is that they got paid nothing. They were giving the opportunity to have a last chance to play to a large audience.
