Great. Taylor Swift isn't charging anything higher than $50 on her tour. Will there be a thread about that too?

That's not the point. Treating their fans with respect is. To THEIR fans they ARE in the same league - and higher. Greatness is a matter of taste. Would you expect someone who likes Bon Jovi and doesnt like the Stones to argue that a band they have no interest in seeing SHOULD cost at least ten times as much for a concert ticket?
As much as I cant stand them, credit to them for catering for their fans. Whilst im sure this £12.50 ticket price only marks a tiny % and no doubt they do some higher priced packages as well, its good to see a major act resisting the urge to gouge their fanbase to earn money they'll never spend.
I really dont get the mentality of some Stones fans that would suggest its some kind of badge of honour for the band to be able to charge as much as they can possibly get away with for very little.

To the 3 posters directly above this;
you seem to be taking a very strange masochistic pleasure in being used and abused by your favourite band to line their own deep pockets.
I wonder if you have tickets for the upcoming shows?
Please come back and let us know whether it was value for money..
