Supply and demand. Last night the beers in my hotel were $2 during the Phillis game, but as soon as the game and the concert finished, the beers were $4.25. Same withy airline prices. I got a cheap $65 business upgrade and got lots of fast lane and luxury tratment the other day, on my way to Philly, but the guys next to me in the Business cabin paid multiple money for the same seats.
There are other things to worry about in life than the pants you bought at full price no being on summer sale. Or the rain that fell one hour ago but not now. Life is unfair. Make the best of it!
i know i speak for the community when i say thank you for your spiritual guidance through these tough times.
Is it that you're begging for a reason to post as GRNRBITW?
i think we should give others a shot at posting as GRNRBITW...i don't think it's fair fo me to hog the spotlight.
I'm just glad that you had the foresight to make the investment of time to create some 'branding' around GRNRBITW...diversification of 'ban risk' is a simple but effective way to maximize returns and lower overall risk on your stones quip portfolio.
i stopped using ban months ago...i'm onto mennen speed stick. less risk. but, roll on ban!
you're soaking in it

True, but we thought that before when on the last tour they overpriced the tickets and then ended up doing 2 for 1 deals because they werent shifting.
They just understimated the number of people with more money and more desperation than common sense. They got away with it in November because there were only 5 shows and even then plenty of people were panic buying £400 nosebleeds despite being told the market couldnt sustain it. When you spread that out to about 20 shows in a dozen cities, you're simply less likely to fool as many people.
The real idiots in this though are AEG. To give the Stones a deal like that - in the middle of a recession - where they'd have to price the average ticket above $300 (it was $167 on the last tour!) just to break even if all the shows sold out is financial insanity. Dainty and Branson at least had the common sense to bail out knowing that pricing formula couldnt be sustained over the period of a proper tour

Why does anybody buy a top-price ticket?
2) Too rich to notice (wouldn't we all like to be?)

i agree with just about everything you're saying on this thread, but on the AEG point are you forgetting about the concessions (t-shirts, beer, etc.) sold at the concert? or is that typically not including in the type of deal AEG has?
