You either buy the ticket - or not. That simple. No one is putting a gun to your head MAKING you buy a ticket. And, the tickets in Europe are cheaper but they still complain - they have an option - "dont go"!

Quite a few people did buy tickets which didn't turn out to be able to get them into a concert.

JR ,

I am no Financial expert but for the past couple of years hasn't the Euro been Stronger than the US dollar? I know that Europeans refuse to pay the ridiculous amount for Stones that we pay in the US, which I applaud. I know there are other factors but with the Huge fan base in Europe they still must make a ton of Money.

It ain`t so easy. There are just few tickets left in Europe and it`s not the best tickets.I have to remind you that around one million people have bought tickets to the shows that are cancelled and there is no way that is room for all buyers in the show that are left. The show that I missed cost in average around 160 dollars and was sold out in two hours. Well as you said I got an option, but you never know what you get when you buy from second hand till double prize. I don`t like gambling so I never buy second hand.

I think American and European fans are equal, but since I'm European, European fans will always be better, as I am the über-Stones fan.

Baboon Bro. If you're done with the Stones like you say you are, then why waste your time complaining 'bout them on a message board?

Blind idolatry to anything is for @#$%& idiots

The funny thing about bitching is that 50% of the readers don't care, and the other 50% are happy you are unhappy.

The only reason to put up with bitching is if you are getting great sex.

I am, thanks - and you?

As long as I have not had too much to drink, LOL!

Enjoy Biggest Mistake next month, LO!

A real fan doesn't put up with the band completely screwing them.
