i don't know, Gazza - they seem to be doing all right.
not perfect, obviously, but ... aw hell, we've all been over this a few times at least!
i was just watching some news footage from 78, about fans bitter that the Stones were playing
frustratingly small gigs, making it way way too hard to get tickets and encouraging scalping for obscene prices
like $300 for a pair of tickets - but hell yeah, it's worth it - it's the Rolling Stones :E

I work my red ape bottom off to go see one concert with my boys.
Would have been smashing to see two-three concerts.

I'm happy for all of you who think "just 100" Euros or a little more is
nothing to talk about.

Then again myself personally I'm spolied, as I havent
payed for any concert I've attended since the 90s, because of my
freelance radio job. For me anything with more than two numbers, Euro-wise,
is expensive. Gotta get cheaper cereals for our porridge...

To be specified; I'd wish a cheaper price for those about 12-17 years old,
who cant really earn their own tickets.

I agree -- it would be great to have youth tickets.

Good suggestion Baboon, cheaper tickets for people under 18, and above 71.

See... Its the youth I'm lobbyin' for.

Yes Bro, That is a genius idea,for the youth,to bad it's to little to late to try and convey that to Cohl,and the boy's.

>> I'm happy for all of you who think "just 100" Euros or a little more is

for the record, and not interested in comparative-poverty contests: where i live, 100 euros
is 20-25% of an average monthly salary, and my profession gets paid below average.
so it's not that i consider the ticket prices negligible - au contraire!
what i'm saying is that i recall real clearly when seeing the Rolling Stones even one time per tour
was appreciated as a blessing and a privilege, and that still feels right to me.
it's not a TV series. it's not our local pub band. it's not supposed to be normal to go more than once.

Not many normals on here are we?

I guess everybody here would be happy with cheaper tickets.

But the prices are as they are, you can't change anything even if this thread goes for ten pages or more.

That's why this thread is useless and boring.

Ain't no use in crying...

Well; "you can't change anything"... Aint that a defaitistic view
on our main men?

I'd call it realism.

sure, everyone here would love it if the tickets were cheap! like in the good old days
when the shows sold out real fast - whoosh! - and miles of people were left behind in the dust
and had to either pay scalpers' prices or stay home. that was *way* more fun!

the thing is that (with some miscalculations, of course) it keeps seeming like these hair-raising ticket prices
are in fact right around what people will pay. and if not, we can hold out for last-minute discounts.
is that worse than being stuck outside on the day of the show watching scalpers sell tickets for 15 x face value?
maybe it is worse, somehow, but ... is it??
