The article published on the website guardian.co.uk on May 9, 2013 is headlined Keith Richards: the Stones don't want fans to 'starve their babies' for tickets. It was written by Daniel Martin. The article is dedicated to the world famous musical band The Rolling Stones.
The guitarist of the group, Keith Richards, has admitted he would prefer people did not have to "starve their babies" in order to afford tickets to see the Rolling Stones current US tour. I fully agree with him. It's not a secret that the cost of the tickets for the music concerts is cosmic.
The band were reportedly forced to cut prices for the opening night of the tour in Los Angeles to guarantee a full house.The rock'n'roll veterans are back on the road in the US again following their reunion shows last year. The Stones taken steps to make the gigs affordable. It's strange for the present showbiz because money talks in our spoiled world.
The tour's gross profit is being projected at £65m. The Stones may claim that they need the money, since Michael Eavis has insisted that the band will not be getting their usual fee for headlining Glastonbury this year, instead being paid the "bog standard price for a headliner".
to sum up I'd like to say that I deeply appreciate such humanistic approach to the music culture. In all culture spheres of our life it's really difficult to buy tickets for concerts, perfomances, shows being an ordinary person. So It's very good, that Stones give the chance to their funs to watch them one more time without any difficulties!
FAIR!
