Complaining about ticket prices will lead to absolutly nothing whatsoever.
If you don't like the current prices you are probably a supporter of a communist regime or a pathetic daydreaming socialist. In the 21th century we're, like it or not, into the system of market economy. It's supply and demand. If you can't afford to buy something you desire to you just have to go for the cheaper goods. Really simple, right. I don't whine about that I don't live in a mansion or a palace. If you only can afford to live in a ramshackle building it's likely because you did not work hard enough at school and didn't get good grades so that you can't advance in society and are stuck with working at Mc Donald's or Walmart. If you are complaining about ticket prices it's the first sign of the fact that you're too old to rock'n'roll or just bored with your life. You are only wasting your time since you can't do zilch about the prices of tix. The Rolling Stones are a money machine and not charity. Stop complaining and get real. It's the survival of the fittest and there's no price for second best.

that is the stupidest post in defence of the ticket prices that i have have ever read

we're talking about a rock n roll show. not an accountants office party

No..... thats cool

Andy, it's called sarcasm.

An accountants office party...sounds horrible.
Prawn sandwiches and Chardonnay....yuck.

with each ticket, we should receive a complimentary hamper and blanket to place over our legs, if we get chilly sitting down, during the 18 song set

I love the ticket prices because
- rock concerts should be generally more expensive than theater shows and operas
- the sound in a stadium is so great I'm wondering how the prices can be so moderate
- I can't wait for my first concert which will cost more than $195
- Michael Cohl seems like he needs some more money
- I'm rich, rich, rich and I'll burn my surplus tickets in front of your face
- I'm waiting for my sore body to die and what I really need is a ticket where I can lie in BED when seeing the Stones, of course with a volume regulator in case these longhairs are too loud
- it is just supply and demand supplay and demand supplydemandsupplydemand and I don't wanna do anything about it
- I want those prolet Stonesfans not in the same stadium as my fat Ass and me
- the Rolling Stones are too cheap anyway, aren't they?
- my name is Michael Cohl
- my name is Mick Jagger
- my name is Keith Richards
- my name is Charlie Watts
- my name is Ron Wood

i really love the ticket prices because:

- there is no chance to scalpers to make money
- less people coming because of the expensive tix, more tickets get to the street market: excellent seats for half price or even cheaper
- once a 'tourist' get in for let's say $450 he won't take a piss break during Keith' set because he wants to enjoy every seconds for that price

Those three were actually quite valid.

Close your eyes and I'll kiss you

If the Stones were holding a gun to my head, I would be really angry when I gave them my money.

As long as we pay, they'll keep charging these rates.

The actual ticket prices I have no complaint about.

Not so happy with the $100 fee to book 4 tickets per venu.
Not happy with the £12 booking fee.
Not happy they then charge £4.95 for special delivery when it costs £3.95,since when has it cost £1 to stick a ticket in an envelope that is provided by the Royal mail.

Still happy to stump up the lot if I get deicent position otherwise ebay here I come.

I love the concept of paying more and getting less. It's so...... capitalistic!!!

if youve been to any Stones show, you'd know that #3 certainly ISNT!!

They even go for piss-breaks during several other songs too!

Neither is scalping a valid reason this tour. Not because of high ticket prices but because of the huge supply (stadium shows). I have a few unused tickets from last tour. And I refuse selling a ticket for 20 eur to someone. I'd rather keep it myself. I friend of mine wasn't able to sell his ticket of the opening show in München.
Not even for less than face value
