Already seeing some changes at TM. Just two examples:
- Many more field tickets downpriced to $150.
- New sections of the lower level now available at previously upper level prices.

It got me to bite. Look for me in FLR 11, right in front of Keith's amps at the b stage. Hope he plays.

West Coast is really selling bad.....they will, unlike Chicago, be able to fill it in as it won't be as cold.

just checked again - looks like it worked.
no more $150's left on the field.

This is so disgusting.

I don't know if it's Mick, or Michael Cohl, or what, but this is such bad judgement this tour.

Can you imagine how happy and popular and reinvigorated the stones would be if they only made their nosebleed seats b/w 40 and 60 bucks? They'd make ALMOST as much money as they probably will this tour, plus:

a) younger fans would go - they just WOULD
b) sellouts are MUCH better PR than non-sellouts, even when the sellouts make less overall money
c) credibility/respect etc. for just doing it and eliminating the reputation they have for just being rich fan only band

It's just so easy, a high school math student could figure this out. What's Michael Cohl's problem?

my friend, these are questions that have plagued this band for years now.

Honestly - I'd bet they could do it with top prices at $250
