Forty thousand customers of one of Switzerland's top supermarket chains, Migros, are being offered tickets for an exclusive Rolling Stones concert, provided they go on a shopping spree.
Migros, which traditionally does not sell alcohol or cigarettes, announced Friday that it was organising the legendary rock group's only concert in Switzerland this year during its world tour, on August 11.
The 40,000 places in the stadium in Lausanne will be reserved for holders of the supermarket chain's customer card who have a minimum of 6,000 points, equivalent to 60 Swiss francs (37 euros, 49 dollars) of shopping.
Some 30,000 tickets will be distributed by lottery, while the rest will be distributed in promotional events.
The special Rolling Stones concert is meant to mark the 10th anniversary of Migros's customer card.

We've descended into the depths of tackiness. I'm sure this wasn't the Stones' idea but I wonder if they had to approve it?

Well, if its the only show in the country I'm sure they're aware. I would expect, that how Stones Inc. works, the boys would have to approve it. At this stage of the game this is just par for the course, no big deal really. As long as the boys play and get paid.... |

Well maybe a big deal to the Swiss Stones fans, but I guess they'll have to just get their Migros cards. |

COOP is way better than Migros anyways.

I find it hard to eblieve that Mick & Co. even know about this. These shows are organized in conjunction with local promoters & that's probably who thought up this gem. |
