Well... I am waiting here... since about 10 am waiting for the Stone tickets to go on sale online. I was wondering whether anyone else here on beloved TFP is going to snag some Stone tickets also?
I'm in Calgary so they're playing at the Saddledome on the 28th of Oct. |

I'm not sure if they sold out, but I managed to get 4 tickets for the 9/15 show at Giants Stadium in NJ - (This is where the old Amex Slogan, Membership has it's priveledges camein handy) Called the gold card number - waited 32 seconds, got my tickets, all together, decent seats as far as I can tell - (I think I paid 99 per ticket, but I guess I will know if it was the 160 variety when the bill comes in.)
I've been a Stones fan longer than I've been a Springsteen fan, I wouldn't miss this show, they've always put on a good one... ... and I'm still holding out for Bruce coming back to NJ at the end of the current tour so I can see him again,

Sold out in SECONDS here in Calgary, from what I've heard something like 17 seconds. Over 80% of the tickets sold were from the presale given exclusively to promoters and people who are in the Fanclub. And there are only 14000 seats in the saddledome. It sucks, I got up early on a saturday to wait for something I had a slim to none chance of getting. I am now accepting donations for Stones tickets in Calgary.....

Bands (like the Stones, Eagles, Who etc.) get paid the same at every show, the promoter and ticket agencies then determine how much each seat would have to be sold for to make a profit. In cases like the Stones, promoters know they can demand exorbitant prices. Say the Stones get paid $1 million/ show the venue holds 28,000, the average seat costs $35. Promoters look at that and sell tickets for 3-4 times that and make a huge ass profit. Personally, although I am sure they put on a great show, with Charlie Watts having been sick and at their age they just aren't worth it to me. The Stones to me haven't made any truly good music since Brian Jones was in the band. They are about as money grubbing as McCartney and I wouldn't give Jagger or Richards a cent of my money for what they did to Brian Jones. Now if the Stones can resurrect Brian, I'll go.
