U2 - Selling their souls to Apple probably had something to do w/ it....especially since they have their own Ipod and doing Apple/Ipod TV commercials on MTV ALL THE DAMN TIME... Ipods are how most "young people" prefer to listen to their music....so, being a spokesperson for that very product gets them more recognition.... interestingly enough, there was a brief blurb in the most

Is it safe to presume that they are going to have the same Fan Club policy for tix in Europe? that is a "If you bought your membership BEFORE such-and-such-a-day you are eligible for the pre-sale a day or two earlier than those who bought memberships AFTER said date" policy anybody got any info in this regard?

Yep....it will DEFINITELY be worse...especially if they go with the Crap-Arse "Hives" who played the same song for an hour straight.....or the Slightly Less Lame "Hellacopters"... a few shows will rock....perhaps w/ AC/DC again.....or ZZ Top (who was OK, not great)..... what exactly do people WANT though???

I agree w/ Keefsarse....what EXACTLY is going to get 60,000 people jumping in their seats?? Cherry Oh Baby?

I think it has something to do w/ the fact that they are a BAND...not an individual act....which makes their longevity even more impressive.... that and the fact that the Stones have been (and still are) known for high-energy BLOW OUT concerts...a spectacle...a "circus"....and I imagine many ask "how the hell is this still possible??" or "how exactly does Mick STILL ru

I am NOT defeding the outrageous ticket prices of ANY band....but, it seems to me that AT LEAST w/ ticket prices & tours the bands are actually EARNING some of the money by WORKING.... that is, rather than just whoring themselves or their songs to corporate CRAP.... let's take a look: U2 - Whoring themselves to Apple (let us count the ways) Jane's Addiction - Whoring their

The U.S. uses the "General Admission is too dangerous" excuse to put seats on the "pitch" and then price them according to proximity to the stage....another method of gouging fans and giving the best seats to corporations &/or politicians.... this is all caused by the fact that we have too many f*cking lawyers in this country & everything is about liability....our o

I agree, tatters....their formula works...the people keep coming and keep paying..... besides, even if it didn't work, Corporate America (and world) will always pick up the slack on tickets that the public doesn't buy and give them away to clients based on real or perceived importance of those clients....
