Quotepaulywaul QuoteRollingFreak Who would care enough to pay the Sons Of The Beatles. Thats a rip off concert if I ever heard one. You'd think they all want to be independent enough to not live off that legacy anyway. Well, you'd LIKE to think that, yes. Personally, having seen what Julian Lennon has got to offer, not to mention James McCartney ....... I'd be hard pushed to think of something

Quotebv It is a lottery. They spread the $85 tickets evenly out. There are few pit tickets - may be 100 or so out of 1,000 or 1,500 of the $85 people are lucky, which means one out of ten will get pit. So you are saying a quarter of the pit is at $85 ? I don't think so! They never even made any available for $600 as far as I can tell. Funny how on the dates I have been watching,the Pit pack

Quotepaulywaul Quotebv Why on earth would ticket sales have anything to do with their touring? Fact is AEG is a promoter who was overbidding everyone else. We will see tomorrow in LA and on Sunday in Oakland if AEG over-estimated the market. The Stones have been playing stadiums with sections not sold out in the past, no worries. They just perform. If it is 15,000 or 19,000 in the arena I don

So are they going to refund the $3000 a pair if you turn up after 6pm ? Sounds outrageous to me ! sc uk

I can't see any promoter taking them on after this, if sales are as bad as they seem. They have priced themselves out of touring. AEG have been dazzled by the Stones'star quality,but may pay a heavy price. Vegas here we come ! sc uk ps Do we actually know why Micheal Cohl was dropped........or did he drop them due to unrealistic expectations ?
Forum: Tell Me

I don't understand why they would do that. We had pit tickets for the O2 both nights and they had a seperate queue for it. We didn't notice the 1st night and went straight in , got to to the pit and were turned away as we had no wrist bands.......Went back to the main entrance and they sorted some out for us. We explored the arena before going back to the pit, bumped into, bv, Kate Moss and Bob G

They have often attempted to get the tempo down on this and other numbers. Noticeably slower versions on BTB tour of BS and JJF. Probably not a good idea for 70 year olds to be coked off their tits playing faster and faster. sc uk

It was loud as f**k at the O2. Our ears were ringing after a telecaster assault in the pit. Keith's sound on the PPV broadcast was a joke - like he was playing in another building. sc uk

I was recovering from a back injury at last years O2 shows. I was in the pit both nights , in the middle of the crowd . My advice.........very strong anti inflammatory tablets and alcohol.

I think this thread is about to be closed. Thatcher aside though, if I thought about the Stones' politics for too long I would struggle to be a fan at all. I don't think any of them should comment on a politician's stand on tax........ Jimmy Carr is a Plumber doing a job "cash in hand" compared to the Stones. Jagger may have been upset about talk of his tiny todger, but that was n
