THey get the big bucks from people who don't have the stomach to wait, people who don't follow this stuff that closely and people who have lots of money and don't care what things cost. they get the maximum possible, as the post above me says. They know exactly what they are doing with the prices, the presales. We are all just rats in cages, they know exactly what buttons to push and when to push them.

Stones tickets have always been relatively expensive and now touring at the twilight of their career, they have lots of people intent on seeing them one more time, at almost any price.
That said, if you have no bread, you can see them for $29 bucks instead.
If that makes the fans happy, and they make more money this way, why wouldn't they do it?

I'm guessing that they figured between Buffalo, Toronto, and Rochester all being close by, there would be enough demand not to need LD tix right off the bat. It's the only show that folks from NYC and Boston could reasonably drive to, as well.
Reasonable is not a definition attached to a Stones fan..8 hours to go see the Stones is nothing.Quote

LOL, I don't know about you but I don't consider an 8 hour drive reasonable. But yes it is the closest show to those cities.

The point of my thread.
Yes, there are Lucky Dip and ways to get discounted tickets later if you are in the know. But, who besides us are in the know? The Rolling Stones seem not interested in letting people know there are ways they are being fan friendly this tour. They seem proud to let everyone think they charge what they want because they can.

Yes, but isn't the point that only the hard core fans - like us - are "in the know" about the Lucky Dip tickets. The general public doesn't have a clue, the scalpers can't use them because of the entry procedures, but every fan on IORR or Shidoobee or whatever, knows how to see these shows for $29.95 (plus fees of course). Isn't that how it SHOULD be?

Have you ever seen NYC and Boston drivers? Reasonable is not an adjective I would use to describe them. LOL.
But I agree with your post, why sell $30 tickets when you can sell them for twice that much? Obviously they are well aware that show is their strongest market on this tour.

Lucky Dip were offered for San Deigo that is the only west coast show so I don't see that no Lucky Dip for Buffalo is because they can fill the stadium at full price with people from NYC, Boston & Southern Ontario.
maybe I'm naive thinking Lucky Dip tickets are a chance for economically challenged to see the show instead of selling tickets in weak markets.

I got my lucky dips for Kansas and have a question please. Sorry if it has been brought up before and I missed it.
Q. Somebody said when you pick up your lucky dips you are given the option to upgrade - would this option also include the likes of even gold circle?
Thanks for looking.
"till the next time..."

Anyone have advice for selling an extra LD ticket? First time using LD and I only need one.
Before the day of the show, I dont think there is a way, unless a friend will give you the money and plan on going with you.Quote
