Let's be honest. The prices are too high and this fact bothers me. Yes, even so the Stones can fill the stadiums and draw millions of people, once again, but that's another story. This isn't the only one criterion, to me. BTW, the prices were high also in 1969 but this is ...another "another story"!

Ok, so what´s the limit for you. 1000 euros? That´s only a couple of nights at a decent hotel. 10 000 euros? That´s only a decent car. its the stones

And what? Stones tix in Germany is 190 Euro. What is this bullshit gonna be? Competition who has the most stupid fans willing to pay any price?
Despite this the Streisand audience is completely different from the Stones audience. Most of the former Stones fans aren't able to pay those prices. Think of that...
BTW, we Americans think its "funny" that you Europeans call cigarettes fags. Remember the old interview when Jagger asked the guy "Can I pinch one of your fags"? Completely different meaning on this side of the pond - or maybe Mick knew that!
Oh yeah, ticket prices are crazy, but I keep paying them for the Stones (not many others though). Babs - no way.
Ticket prices kept many shows from selling out in the US. After seeing multable shows every tour since 1981, I saw only one show in Chicago on this tour. The one main reason I bought the ticket was that it was just off the main floor near the B stage and was half the price of those seats 20 feet away.Still cost about $200. This price kept me from buying any merchandise from this tour.The band seems to not care as much about long time fans as picking up new "buyers". I doubt that many of todays kids will shell out that kind of money and will go only if mom and dad "turn them on to the Stones".
