Re: Is the "B" stage fair?

They play two songs on the B-stage. Then they play first half of Miss You on the main stage and on their way out, and last half of Honky Tonk Women also on their way back and on the main stage. So mathematically I would say it is 3 out of 20 songs which means 85% from the main stage. But a Stones show is not really mathematical. If you are that worried about the 540 dollars investments then you are free to walk down to the B-stage for those songs. Security do actually allow people to come down there, even if there are always some local guys who are sort vof mad down there; just make your way around them and try not to block anybody. The Stones do want a club feel by the small stage so they expect people to fill in the empty space around it for those songs.
Most of the floor is top price at arena shows, so I would be more worried about those in the middle of the floor who pay the same as they up front. I think the B-stage is a nice way to share the band with people in different locations in the venue.
