True. No one is being forced to go, but many of us are being forced not to go.

That's what this is all about...
For me: I would not pay those ridiculous prices.
55 pounds for Bruce is fair and he is giving a very very good show for that.
Yes, the market...but you can not hide behind that. There is also an international financial crisis and together with those far too high prices it creates a situation in which many true and loyal fans are being forced not to go.
Now let's assume you're a Rolling Stone...would you feel comfortable with not doing anything about that??
If you are a Rolling Stone: it is in your power to arrange things like Bruce does.
So do something about it and not just for Hyde Park but for all shows.

Justin bieber played vienna's stadthalle last evening. Regular ticket price ranges were 65 up to 365 eur! This is absolutely ridiculous for a 19 yrs old guy who can't sing or make any kind of music.
So let's forget stones ticket prices and enjoy the waiting time until wednesday!!

I thought it was slightly obnoxious and dismissive of a number of true fan’s opinions and feelings, based purely on economic circumstance. And that really isn’t what music is about, well, like I said, in my opinion, it isnt anyway, feel free to disagree…

All he did was ask to not use the "Countdown to The Rolling Stones 2013 Tour" thread for the complaints.

No, he asked that all complaints, about ticket prices or anything else, be in this thread.

Okay. I have a complaint. I went out to dinner Friday night to get a nice piece of fish for Good Friday, and I was still in the middle of eating my dinner at closing time, so of course they allowed me to stay and finish, but they turned the heat down and I had to sit there freezing my ass off as I rushed to finish my salmon!

Correct. If there is a thread aboiut a subject then please use that thread. In this case it is quite clear. Some people want to complain about ticket prices. fair enough. This is the thread.
If you are invited to a wedding, and spend most of the edding day talking to everyone how expensivewedding presents are, gthe you are messing up the wedding day, not only for the two who are wedding, but also for other guests. It is a bout manners. Some people simply d not have manners. They have to complain about how miserable life is upon them, in all places. In bars, at concerts, in the IORR forum threads, to thei friends, brothers, sisters, everywhere. I think that is v ery selfish and introverted. I have many friends in Africa. They spend their day finding ater and food. There are 60% unemployment rate. But they do not have PCs and they do not complain about how bad life is. They thank God for their family and all the happiness they have got in life, regardless of material values that have been brought to them.
I will keep saying this as long as I live. Life is unfair. But it will be even more unfair if you do not look at it from the bright side. If you are broke, I mean real real broke, then find a sponsor, find a friend, or climb a fence. I went to my first Stones show in 1973. I was totally broke, but I managed to get two tickets and a bus ride from Oslo to Gothenburg for both me and my girl fiend (still my wife these days). It is all about priority. Like it or not. For me the Stones come before family, work, weddings, everything else in life. My family do know it. I cancelled all other plans last year when they did the shows then. I disappeared from work and family life. It is possibe but please do not blame your own frustrations and priority on everyone else in new threads...
Feel free to discuss tcket prices here...

Yep, agree.
But as there are still so many willing to pay this prices, why lower them.
And just sentimental arguements don't count these days.

Every market has a risk.
As there are so few people asking for ridiculously high priced tickets, why make them so high?
As there will be many more true fans later this year complaining about ticket prices, why not listen to them today?
As there will be less and less people inside who really cheer for the RS because they know all their songs, why ....
As there will be more and more people going to the restrooms when Keith is playing because they don't know the songs he's singing, why....
As there will only be shows for an arena filled with people who are just there because they can afford it, why....
As there will hardly be an old fashioned fan filled arena to perform in why... .

To me, Daryyl is Amstel Light.
This is a fine observation, but light beer does have its place...safe & sane I say.
Great. Just what you want in rock and roll.
To be clear, Daryl has yet to play rock n roll with the Stones so he's probably off the hook...
This is some really good light beer playing right here (also not RnR):
Omar Hakim smokes too...

I really can't make sense of BV's logic.
His presupposition - pretty obvious - seems to be that only those people can "complain" who have not afford to get the tickets for Rolling Stones shows. And since this - a Stones tour, IORR? - is a "wedding", that kind of talk is not tolareted to spoil the party (besides in this very thread.)
I can't really follow that logic. I can't see there anything personal if one views some current price of certain current product beyond reasonable currency. Or if one views the whole practise in question being beyond out of reasonable justification. For me that only shows an ability to a critical, adult-like thought.
All I can say is that I see that adult-like is possible to to talk things if it is right for a Rolling Stones or any rock fan to ask such amounts of money to spend for such an entertainment, or should they - or, say, if it is fair that some country in Africa has 60% unemployment and people desperate having food (if this woould be a site to talk about that country and of such matters). The opposite is odd, if not, frightening, to me. I don't need to be in that position - a broke Stones fan, a poor African - to be vocal about it.
Actually it is pretty hard for me to sometimes understand that the most of the people writing here are people in - or approaching - their middle age (at least), and what is asked is a uncritical mindset of a teenager. A strange morphosis of teenager idolizing transforming to a wealthy elitism.
