I hope you're right, but don't forget Pinkpop was the only venue the Dutch promotor wanted to do not being afraid it wouldn't be sold out, because of the huge amount of money the Stones were asking. Pinkpop was not a realy big risk, because it's a festival which is almost sold out very fast every year.
Yup the Pinkpop head probably got an exclusivity deal with the Stones to make sure Jagger won't sign for another show on the Dutch soil with another promoter.

The Stones took away a big part of their budget. So this year they'll probably make less money than in previous years. Only difference...sold out in minutes instead of weeks or months.
