if you read the whole article seats were sold late at a cheaper price or there would have been thousands of empty seats

Fans blasted high prices on websites, with one named Gazza saying on It’s Only Rock’nRoll: “The mistake the touts made was in buying up tickets which were already overpriced.”

Gazza??

Haha i clocked that too...

No empty seats.

I was in Block 103:

No empty seats

The Sun: bad journalism

There are plenty of seatsleft for the Brooklyn show. I am hoping to pick one up cheap.

With the more and more complexed ways of selling tickets it's probably impossible to have a full capacity audience.

Yeah. I miss those days were I could just go to the box office or some record shop, buy a general admission ticket (a nice one, not a computer print) and that's it. Nowadays it's all too organized, complex, and calculated. Big business. There is no Rock 'n Roll in it anymore.

I haven't seen any empty seats. Some got filled in the last minute.
I just know for sure that we took both our seats and the Rolling Stones played a marvellous concert. So why should I care about empty seats? It's the fault of the agencies and people who thought they can make major money. But since 1982 this was not possible. I remember that during the stadium tours they even just gave away the tickets before the Stones came on.

I think the Stones did sell out - in more ways than one.

Oh oh, but...

Hello,
Must been at the wrong show. You noticed an empty here and there as with any show.
Could be more empty in the 4xx today. Quite a few tickets there tried with 5 computers, lol.
And someone sell me an 101, 102... Pit if I get desperate.
