rolling stones take the cake, icing, and all the shit in

when I was in Dublin last year, I was all prepared to spend money on the bootlegs in the town. But, my husband and I only found 2 stores that carried them. Turns out that when the Rolling Stones were in Dublin, they had the record stores raided for bootlegs.

Since then I haven't really liked them all that much.

that is until the ticket brokers get thier hands on them…

I paid $90+15x2 or so to attend the "Tommy Hilfiger Presents The Rolling Stones No Security Tour" at MCI; which I later regretted not because of the performance but because of my realization that it's just a night out. Anyway I wouldn't be surprised if they get another corporate sponsor again this time despite the high ticket prices. As I recall not all of the $300 floor seats at that show were sold… or maybe they were sold to brokers who couldn't move them. So it'll be interesting to see how the $450 seats do.

They do when you consider that Bill Wyman won't be there.

sorry to bring this topic back, but i wanted one last bury of the blade. i do apologize to the rolling stones for insulting them at first with this; i did so out of, "how dare they do that to the public consumer of today," especially in this land of overpriced gas and underpayed workers. i wanted them to take their wrinkled, bleak white arses back across the pond and pull that crap against the euro.

but then the mci show sold out. that's all those six hundred dollar package seats, and the four hundred and so dollar, normal floor seats. even seats in the one hundred tier level were four hundred and so dollars . . . all gone. floor should equal this price, and every other seat should be cheaper, in my concert opinion.

so screw the buying public, now, instead. people are willing to pay it, due to the "belief" that this could finally be the end of said performer. "better go now or regret it forever," is the mindset. and it leads to another artist going, "yes! . . . now i can do it!" can anyone imagine how much miss thang madonna will charge, when her boots are made for walking (to the rest home) tour goes pre-sale?

so sorry mick, sorry kief, sorry ron, sorry Mr. Watts. you guys have written and performed incredible songs over the years, and you have proved so well with this tour, that people are indeed stupid.

It's sold out now, but I was a bit surprised that it did not sell out immediately. I checked on Sunday and I was still able to bring up a pair of tickets for all price levels except for the cheapest seats. I wouldn't be surprised if the public has finally reached it's price limit and the brokers bought up the remaining tickets.

Personally, I'm still hoping for the theater/club shows. I'll pay decent money for either of those.

Black Eyed Peas, Maroon 5, Pearl Jam, the Tragically Hip and the John Mayer Trio will open on this tour w/ the john mayer 'trio' opening for the DC show.

More congrats to the band are in order: "Ameriquest, one of the nation's largest lenders to borrowers with impaired credit histories, will pay more than $1 million to sponsor the tour"

really? i was thinking it wouldn't sell out at all! or at least not for several weeks. the ticket prices were just ridiculous. and i'll shell out some serious cash for shows but $80 with fees for nose bleed seats? hell no! even madonna didn't charge that much.

i wonder if seth has a secret show planned for the club? how f'n fabulous would that be?

I'd be thrilled with a Warner show. I'm still pissed TM refused to sell me Tower tickets last time.

If you think a concert is overpriced….don't buy a fucking ticket, and quit yer whinging. As long as people are dumb enough to pay it, they will continue to charge it. Economics 101 I believe, and I didn't even got to college. (well I did, but couldn't stand the wankie students)

Stones are in the same category as the Beatles btw….not bad but way overrated, they were the anti-Beatles, it was one or the other. Kind of like Backstreet Boys/N'Sync ;)

Comparing bands from the Brit invasion of the 60's, the Kinks were by far the most talented of the bunch, but that's for another topic.
