Rolling Stones...

[CaledonianGonzo]

still, comfortably going to sell out in half hour I'd imagine. just to ask are you going to Glasto bud?

Presales are often a way of shifting crummy seats / sections to people who think that the good seats have already gone......

I'll be at Glasto, aye.

[The Nal]

tier 3 £95 and tier 2 £199 so no closer than the sound desk for under £200 quid ouchhhhh

[the wonderwhy]

Drenge confirmed to play

[mail1234]

Hyde park must be one of the worst places to watch a gig these days. Not heard a good word about it for years now.

Who are all these people willing to pay hundreds of pounds to see the Stones there? Can't blame the band if people are stupid enough to do it I guess!

[thewayiam]

£370? I thought the highest price was £330?

I thought I saw £370 level 1 with a backstage bar.

[Matt42]

Sorry to move off subject.

In that video Charlie Watts is up to his usual, moany self. I love it but it makes me think!

I reckon he wanted to die years ago but his manager wouldn't let him

Fair enough

I haven't checked but The Mirror were reporting tickets up to £330 this morning. They get everything else right so assumed that would be correct too

[Ed209]

This arguement is ridiculous. You cannot moan about something you cannot afford! Thats life and its tough titteh im afraid! Id like a flash motor on my drive but im not going to go on a bmw forum saying 40k is a lot of money, despite what you get for the 40k!

I was just stating a fact. £200 is a lot of money for a lot of people. Fact.

A lot of people have to think carefully before they part with that amount of money ... me included.

The critical info that most seem to have overlooked is that this means that Mick Taylor is bolted on for Glastonbury.

*keels over*

Ive overlooked this. Enlighten me on how youre sure mate.

[fraser_k]

I would imagine he would at least come out for Midnight Rambler.

[CaledonianGonzo]

He's confirmed to be guesting on all of the US dates. Figures that he'll still be with the entourage when it gets back to the UK.

[Wooderson]

I was behind the sounddesk for Blur. My advice is pack in the booze lads cuz you can't see/hear shite.

[mike99]

There is going to be a second date added presuming tickets sell out fast.

[Matt42]

Also thinking about it, say 60 acts of worth play glastonbury

(AKA 60 acts that you'd pay tickets to go and see, like concerts)

205 is the price of a ticket.

205/60 = 3.41666 Per act.

So lets round that up.

You are paying £3.40 to specifically see the stones at glastonbury.

Give over!? Where do you get this info from?

not really accurate, if you do it based on that, you need to do it based on how many of those 60 you are likely to see.

I see it like this. it's costing me £220 to go Glasto, ticket plus parking + a program.

Say I want to see 5/6 acts a day, adding up to we'll say 16 acts over a weekend = £13 pretty much an act.

The 1st act I will see, going by a Friday-Sunday schedule would cost me around £18 with a booking fee, no act will cost less than £10 that I would see.

Yeah I guess I just wanted to make a quirky comment about how the Glastonbury goers have it so so so much better than anyone at hyde park value wise!

[wbarenno]

Prices for the stones gig range from £95-£399 plus booking fees. It says on an email I've had off the ticket factory.

just in case you have a maths test coming up anytime soon, that's called rounding down

I'm flying to Chicago and home from New Orleans later this year and my flights cost that all in. Give or take a tenner.

I have at least 3 £40 acts and at least 2 £30 acts that I would see too. Not sure wether Glasto will be a stripped down stage production but I don't care lol. I have a good £400's worth of bands I'd see on the lineup minimum.

399 squandoolees is crrrrrrrrrazy! The Stones for basically the price of 2 years of Glasto (give or take)

[CaledonianGonzo]

Stillon the subject of Mick Taylor, that Gregory the Gorilla twitter account included him in the announcement tweets, which might mean he plays for a fair bit more than just a one-song guest spot on Midnight Rambler.

Do their egos allow for anyone to get limelight/credit?
