Moneygrabbers
So nice to see the Stones performing for a group of moneygrabbing vampires.
What a shitty band they've become.
"moneygrabbing vampires", lol - I'm with you there!
Why not successful financial corporation? Obviously they have thousands of satisfied clients.
This is another prime example of class envy. Why don't you folks get a successful career instead of whining while sitting on your ass about folks who work for a living?

I blame you for telling something that's not true.
Where is "it is part of the tour budget." this so called fact written? Who told you that? What make this 'a fact'? Talked to Mark?
Unless they have double accounting I would assume they have one budget for income and expenses. Income comes from ticket sales, sponsors, merchandise kick-back etc. I would say I know above average about how they price tickets and how they used to have first 5-20 rows low priced and how they subsidize some shows with other shows, so again there is a general accounting for any tour of course. A club show might not lower the ticket prices dramatically, but on the other hand it does not increase our ticket prices. The only problem is that most of us hate that other people can see a show we do not have access to. VIP's and rich people are unpopular, unless they play football or baseball.

Little anecdote from trabendo (i record that lookin' at my wife cooking flour).
Before D&G, a roadie put powder (or the thing halterophilist uses) on Mick's hands.
But it's was too much : Mick was embarrassed with that powder and did not want to wipe his hands on his black trousers. Quite funny indeed.
