The only hope for lower prices, ever again, is if people refused to buy at these prices and the arenas were only 1/4-1/2 full... but that is not happening. Enough people are willing to pay $600-$1000 ticket that they are now announcing 2nd shows.
I am not going to travel to see them and pay $600 ticket... but if they can sell out arenas at those prices, why shouldnt they sell tickets at those prices?
Honestly, why shouldnt they charge what people are willing to spend?
Who wouldnt charge as much as people are willing to spend?
Of course the long term results will be that everybody better get ready to pay this kind of BIGmoney for every arena act in the future, there is no looking back, as history has shown us. Blame the people who are willing to pay for this coming result.

.....Our favorite band tosses aside real fans in favor of playing to disinterested wealthy onlookers.
I have a great job and a lot of money and I'm a real fan.
I'm thinking the Stones are now in favor of just playing to interested real fans who have money.....as opposed to interested real fans who don't have any money.
The good news is that's their choice.....and they've earned it as far as I'm concerned.
It's easy, pretty simple really...make your money, save your money, see the Stones....or don't....no one gives a crap.
I can't wait to see these guys live again....New Jersey shows were a blast.
Ooops, I'm supposed to be complaining on this thread.
Ok then.....life sucks, it's so unfair. Go Stones!

Is if Cohl managed the tour.
Prices were lower when he ran the show.

People under estimate that there is a lot of money out there held by fewer and fewer people.

There are almost ten million millionaires out there! There are plenty of people who can afford a Stones show. You are talking about approx. 325,000- 350,000 tickets for 18 shows in the USA and Toronto to see the Stones. The tickets will sell. It's been 7 years outside the NYC area the last time the Stones played. This is the end as Jim Morrison would say.

i know more than a little about finance and the big problem with the stones is that their business model sucks.
They seem to be doing pretty well.

My mistake, I mean in the world. Around 5 million in the USA.
10 million millionaires in the USA? No way this is an accurate statement. The population of the nation in 2012 was just under 314 million.

Can we explain this thread to just be able to complain about anything?
I don't like the weather in Seattle today.

looked at some of the tickets for san jose -there is now another question besides "can you afford it? -can you afford the embarrassment?
$1500 for a pair at the back of the first balcony.people may ask how much you paid,then you can either lie or look like a fool.
mc hammer could afford the gold plated toilet seat too,but that didnt stop people from laughing at him.
again, the business model=trainwreck

Why do the Stones need the money? Aren't they already filthy stinking rich? Why are they unwilling to give their fans a break? The ticket prices are absolutely ridiculous and we are sheep and we just take it up the ass like it's nothing. Boycott these concerts, I say. Send them a message.
