I agree it would be nice if the Stones would price tix so more folks could afford to catch a show, but simple fact is, The Black Crowes, as good a band as they are , are not even close to the Stones league, and if they were, there would be no 1/2 price ticket offers available from them either.
Cohl feels out the economics of each tour, highest prices vs market willing to pay those prices = the actual prices charged. His record is one of success if your only tool of success is gross earnings.
That being said, this latest tour might prove to be less successful than the previous three, as there is, at least at the moment, a near total lack of buzz. That could change mind you as the PR machine cranks up and the new album is released, but if the album sucks, combined with the high priced tickets and lukewarm reception to another tour so far...this might be a real wake up call. Good news is, I have been told (now that my Virgin Records friend will talk to me again)the album is quite good - and that's coming from a guy who don't much care for the Stones. (He's a hopeless fag, so go figure.)
My own broker came through with tickets to three Stones shows - all floor seats, the best being row three center stage, and I'm trying to score one more show. Did I pay a ridiculous amount? Probably. Will I be screaming my ass off come concert night? Hell yeah! As always, I'm stoked to catch the Stones live. I would likekly waste that money elsewhere on drugs, drink, and women/men, so why not spend a couple hours catching the once-greatest band in the world? (Maybe the greatest if you catch them on a good night -ie. Keith gets off his lazy ass and decides to lay claim to the once-worthy title of RiffMaster and Ronnie remembers what got him here in the first place - filthy rock -n- roll!
I guess in the end, it really is only rock and roll, and oh yes, do I like it!

yeah! I've been considering going to this show, and almost spent $100 for a ticket. $50 at the Borgata is a steal!
Is there any catch? Do you get enrolled in any club bs? |

no catch - just an offer to the fans...
i was hoping someone we knew on this board would take advantage of this...

Bummer, this is just one week before I hit the Jersey Shore. I would have been there no doubt. Any good shows in AC in early August? |

Bummer indeed. I start a vacation in SC Thursday & I'll be jetting home just as this show gets underway. |

you guys are killing me...
somebody (other than scalper/lurkers) take advantage of this - the crowes are f*ckin' good, and this gig should be tight, as it is one of the few they are headlining this summer...
