I go broke.
Several Japanese media have commented recently on how expensive tickets are on various Internet auction sites for the upcoming Paul McCartney shows.
Sir Paul’s six-show Japan tour, including three Tokyo Dome concerts, slated for the middle of November sold out almost immediately after they went on sale in September.
The highest face price for a ticket is ¥16,500, but tickets on the Yahoo auction site are going for as high as ¥400,000.
What’s especially unnerving to some people is that these high prices have not been arrived at through the usual bidding process.
The seller is simply setting a very high price and people are paying it.
This realization has led to calls for regulation of ticket prices on auction sites.
According to one journalist writing in the Asahi Shimbun, who also happens to be a big McCartney fan (he didn’t get picked in the initial ticket lottery),
if Net auctions are not regulated then only rich people will be able to buy tickets to the most popular concerts, thus squeezing out “true fans” of the artists who are performing.
The journalist says that it’s obvious these expensive net tickets are being sold by dafuya (scalpers).

Poor people will get the dvd, and the most poor, will download it.

Stones have rarely played in Japan. Should be lots of pent up demand there which translates into big enough paydays for Mick to take the show on the road. Demand is lower in Australia-New Zealand

Right about 1973 but for the others tour like 1981-82, why they not toured in Australia or new zealand, south american at this time.
Well, it's not really important all these things. As Coluche said "Si jeune et déjaponais" "So young and..."

But Japanese are the most addicted in the world. Except sushies, everything is produced outside japan and they really addict to all these. ><
Seriously the stones will tour where money cash wll be the best for them.
GIVE A SHOW FOR THE PHILIPPINES FIRST AND AFTER THAT WE COULD SEE...

They missed Japan and Australia on the B2B/No security tour. Missed Australia also on the Steel Wheels tour.
And they haven't been to Melbourne and Sydney in 8 years, Brisbane in nearly 11 and Perth and Adelaide in almost 20.
Plus it is very unlikely they will return after this tour, and every tour here has gone down an absolute treat with the fans and press.
Demand is high!
