Gazza yeah Mark I noticed that too! they werent too quick telling us about the shows and ticket sales but managed to tailor a package pretty damn sharp-ish for the mega-rich!

has anyone actually BOUGHT any of these rip off deals?

I'd love to see a breakdown of the proportion of tickets for arena and theatre shows throughout this tour being offered to actual fans in contrast to those offered in the various inflated hotel & ticket package deals

also,why send fans outside the USA an offer for this trip (when your fan club membership clearly asks you what country you live in and most "international fan club members" would live outside the US?" )

Just so you can get an idea :

top seats for two Dublin shows will cost you about �200 in total
Four nights in a good central Dublin hotel (ie 4 star) sharing a twin room really shouldnt cost you any more than �200 each
A flight from New York - for example - in September direct to Dublin - about �350.

�750 would therefore cover most of that - thats about $1,150. Say $1,300 at the most.

That VIP party and laminated tour pass must be pretty fuckin' special!!!

Now I've thought about it..if anyone wants to slip me $1,800 I'll tailor a package for everyone and undercut them..lol.. We'll have a better friggin' pre-show party too!

littleredrooster Remember their special deal for the last North American show in Las Vegas in February at MGM?
The come on was that you would be admitted to the sound checks before that show.

The Stones did not even show up!

Why would they have to sound check an arena that the played in late November?

I went to the parties in LA, they sucked!
But the Wiltern show definitely did NOT suck!
The only saving grace!
