For that sort of money I would need to know about Mick Ts participation first. And Bill.

I'm sure Mick T will chip in a few bucks. Bill however is a stickler with the money.

I would also expect meet and greet. And a souvenir bag and maybe a meal voucher.

I'm in !!

You'll get a Beatle to go with it, ok?

I guess this shows that there isn't a single generous billionaire iorrian prepared to fund a private gig for the rest of us><

The sad thing is they would not do it even if the money was raised. They don't do these gigs only for the money, they have plenty of money and plenty of ways to make more. In part, they do them because the people there are their people. They dig hanging out with the billionaires, it is the ultimate mind-@#$%&: "these people who have everything and can get anything and they want want US."

The Stones do not want to play for us in that context. When they play those private corporate gigs for millionaires, they are playing for their people.

I am seriously interested, I just can't come up with the dough. So count me out?

I'll spot you the money Nikkei, I want you there that much. Just need to find someone to borrow the money from now.

Erm....no! The Stones played that gig for the cash. They don't care about who paid for it, only that they payed. Cash is king when it comes to The Rolling Stones.

Maybe we could ask Mick & Keith to stump up for us all........as we are the members of the No.1 fan site therefore the No.1 fans.......

Give something back Mick, you know it's worth it.............

How about if we come up with some ways to raise money? Treacle and I can do a coffee stand.

Count me in, please.
Great idea, why not give it a try.

You're a great guy Treacle, I already felt like an outsider on this thread. Latebloomers right, something like a bakesale isn't a bad way to start

No, I don't want a Beatle. I want a goody bag and a meal voucher.

You got it!

I already posted that I'm in for $2000 if it's in NYC but realistically the timing would have to coincide with their geographic availability. It would be great publicity for them. Maybe we could just get Mick Taylor, and some of the musicians on this board (me included!) could take turns as backing band.

Those are sensible requests.

I have one more:

The band must emerge from a time machine marked "November 1969" just as they hit the stage.

I could sell my soul but I would have to choose the set list><

I posted before that i am in. Anywhere in the world.

What a great idea, I'd love two tickets. Hope it happens!

Of course with Taylor and Wyman, and in London.

Almost 100 people interested here within the first 30h, if we include those of you willing to pay a little less than $3000 and those of you that only would pay if Taylor and/or Wyman would join. Come on

I'm in too!!

You do realize that to raise $2million dollars from only 100 people, everybody has to chip in $20,000 to cover the cost, don't you?

You need to have 1,000 people pay $2,000 each, or 400 people pay $5,000 each.

And that $2million (if that's enough to bait the Stones) doesn't even cover venue, security, insurance, etc.

I'll be in if it can happen in the States, but man, we've got a long way to go.

I would pay around a £1000 for a uk or european gig.

Best of luck thou.

I would be in if I have enough time to a) recover from all the San Diego costs, and b) save up for this new event.

So yes, but not immediately. $2-3,000 that isn't too much different than a real close to the stage seat in a stadium anyway.

Ever since San Diego I've had the horrible feeling I'm gonna hafta get a stickin' job man! (I'm on early disability retirement).

Let's see how many names we got in one month or so here. Then there is the possibility to take this poll outside of iorr as well, i realize everything you do you know, i'm not stupid thank you.
