It's a little ironic that The Stones have added a second show so more fans can see them and yet the ticket prices are so damn high that they are losing a huge base of fans that can't afford to go.

The Stones are ass-holes.

Anyone have a Satisfaction pre-sale code they aren't using? They went on sale at 12:15 EST today.

You're right : 110 and 117 are better seats than on the floor

Having that extra few feet to look over everyone's heads is key.

I love music. Could not imagine life without life music. Have seen the Stones in TO 5 times. But investing my $600 in going to 30 or 40 small shows by bands that still play with fire and passion, whether teenage garage rockers of 70-something blues or folk players. Not spending it to fund Mick and Keith's retirement. The only attraction in these shows for me is Mick Taylor, but have seen him solo (boring and sloppy) and not impressed with his performance on one song in each of the December shows.

Enjoy those who are going. Try to remember to also support live music by bands that are actually out there playing with passion and fire, working their asses off.

And that is it in a nutshell.
I've seen at least a dozen amazing live shows this year and none cost more than 30 bucks at the door.

Those clubs like The Horseshoe or The Phoenix (among others) that the Stones played at have great bands in all the time.

That said, the one see-the-legends-I've-never-seen-before trip I'm thinking of taking is down to Buffalo to see Bob Seger with Joe Walsh opening.
But I think top ticket there is only 150 or so.

...and it's not as though they need additional monies for retirement funding. This is about estate planning now...getting ready for the intergenerational transfer of wealth so the Marlon's, Lizzie's, Jade's, Theodora's, Alexandra's and THEIR offspring are not left wanting.

Like the actual tape of Keith strumming the chords to Satisfaction for the first time and then falling asleep and snoring for the next 30 minutes.

Priceless stuff.

Never understood ABCKO not releasing this stuff already, if it's there. I mean, they're releasing ANOTHER compilation...it's not as though they aren't mercenary.

I wonder if the contract doesn't allow for them to release previously unreleased material without band approval?

Rock On! Hopefully my daughter out in Edmonton gets us tickets - she knows how to work the tech more effectively than here Dad down here in New Brunswick. Hope to fly up catch the Stones, Leafs, Jays and the AGO. Money - you can`t take it with you and there is nothing like a Stones Show!

After the fiasco of the Hyde Park Tickets I decided to fly to Toronto for my cousin's 65th on May 29th and go to the show on the 25th with him. Got Floor L3 Row 10 in the "Satisfaction" pre-sale.

Satisfied since 1976

Got my tix for both shows. Am still shaking about the prices - paid about 50% more than the top level tickets I bought for the O2 in 2007, for second price level tix this time around. Never thought I'd be nostalgic for 2007 prices.

Just bought amazing seats for June 6. Sec 18 row 9! Had to pay $1200 for "gold package" per seat, but all I could get to drop for $600 was section 101 at the end. One upside to these outrageous prices- amazing seats are always available. See y'all there and hopefully Vegas will go on sale soon.

An excellent point. 2 weeks out and you can still have your pick!

That's harsh for section 101. I've been in that section for shows before and it's pretty frustrating because you're kind of in the action but not really.
Better to either be close - or up in the nosebleeds where at least the people around you are determined to make the best of it. In 101 there's an underlying disappointment tinged with a slight sadness.

My daughter scored a pair for the 25th show - she's flying in from Edmonton and I am coming up from New Brunswick! Mick - looking for song suggestions - how about I'M FREE - would love to hear that in person - this is one of my all time favourite songs and Oakland '69 is a fantastic version! Failing that Champagne and Reefer!

True, the Stones are an amazing band. They allow you the opportunity to go out, find a second job, work for two weeks, get your first paycheque from that job, deposit the cheque and make a transfer to your Citibank visa to free up some room, and buy a fab ticket.

They're the best!

Sweet. Enjoy the city and enjoy the show.
It's always great to have east coasters over.

I honestly never get tired of these withering rejoinders.
Have you considered charging for them?
Shall we start the bidding at 195 dollars plus convenience fee?

I'm actually quite sensitive to other people's feelings...for instance right now, I sense the teeniest bit sarcasm in your reply.

It 's reflexive at this point. My apologies. Let us now refocus our energies on the real question... Are there really 36,000 suckers in Toronto or will there be empty seats?
