I don't think they will do more than the 22 song set but they certainly shouldn't do less. Plenty of Mick Taylor please, especially considering he made his debut as a Stone there.

I was lucky enough, (and old enough), to see him as a Spider several times and he was an excellent bass player. Very sorry to hear that he has died so young, like his brilliant sidekick Mick Ronson. RIP, Trevor.

QuoteBluzDude Quoterebelrebel Can anyone explain the difference between discounting and flex pricing to me please? With Flex pricing, if you go on a ticket site and put that you want a $450 seat, you might end up where the $600 seats were. If you put in that you are interested in a $600 seat, you will get that $600 seat. If you just discount the seat, then the $600 seat is no longer availabl

Yeah, it never ceases to amaze me either, in a good way of course. There are fan forums for other well established artists that have a hardcore of no more than a couple of dozen people posting. Here there are at least a few hundred dropping in on a regular basis even during a five year period of no tours or new work. This band sure did something that got under our skin.

Really loving these videos that are already up. Yes, they are in very good shape indeed. Mick seems to have more energy than in 2007. I think that's what happens when everyone else is so on it.

They have form doing this. After the last night at the O2 in 2007 they posted She Was Hot and it was a train wreck. Hard to answer the question as to why though.

Very glad to see this 'sticky' and hope someone in the right place takes note. Please, more of Mick Taylor. I wasn't expecting him to be on all the time but three songs surely? Even at the warm up gig he played on two and that wasn't a full set. Please don't alternate Rambler and CYHMK - Rambler is far and away their best live song even without Taylor and with him should be there every night. How

I like LA Friday very much indeed. Angie and Wild Horses are superb on this and when it rocks it rocks. It's rough and loose, Brussels is a lot more refined but I love both in their different ways. I'll always be a Taylorite but Woody is fantastic on LA Friday.

Agree with pretty much everything in this thread. This sounds like a textbook case of dumping unsold tickets to me; why would they only notify you on the day of the show if they didn't want to sell them at higher prices before that? I've got to say I'm surprised at the scale of the flop this time round. It's not like they're playing stadiums and trying to shift a million plus seats. The shows

Quoterambler44 No other Artist does this. Springsteen charges $100-$125 for his shows,plays 35 songs a night and digs very deep in his catalogue. Even McCartney's top ticket was $250 and again 35 song set with liberal mix of big hits and rarities. On the other hand they are solo artists so keep most of the money where there are four Stones to be paid. On that basis Bruce would be $500 and

If they're using barcode scanners on the tickets - which they almost certainly will - then there's a good chance you won't be able to as they'll have different codes on them.
