The Stones are hoping that these mostly young bands can sell seats, they are struggling big time in several markets!
Definitely. Begs the question why they've left it to just a few days before the tour start to announce any.

I know you already easily know this but I must say it ...there is nobody to blame but The Stones. If ticket prices were even some-what reasonable they would do fairly well. Sure, they do not set the price..but guess what...they negotiate with promoters on the guarantee before show time.. .. and they negotiated a crazy major guarantee (with more to come after the tour I'm sure) .. which in turn drives up prices.
The pricing for their stadium show is the most rediculous price I've ever saw by a stadium tour?? $250-350 for fair seats???? 500 for good seats??? 90 for the worst.
The scale should of been 60 ... 100 ... and 150. They would sell out most places.. people wouldnt bitch as much .. and they would not be struggling at all.
Nobody to blame but their own greed for all the struggling (I could of told you those prices were way too high for todays market.. or ANY market and they are getting themselves in trouble).
Rediculous... sure Im going and I will not bitch at all after but come on man.. 200-400 bucks should be front row ... NOT back of the field and upper deck friggin seating ... flippin unbelievable (and ass on their part).
