The StubHub people are going to be taking a BATH on these last dates of this tour
It isn't these last few dates.... they have been taking a bath the entire tour. And I don't think it is real fans behind most of those tickets on Stub Hub, I think many of them are from the actual promoter and never got sold in the first place. They are simply using every means necessary to move tickets.
The $85 tickets are offered through the band and these last minute ticket drops are simply a way for the promoter to sell tickets they would have liked to sold at much higher prices but couldn't.
The other people who definitely are taken a bath are real fans holding an extra ticket that they are now trying to move. Why should I pay you face value for a ticket that I can now get much cheaper in both initial sales from the venue or any number of resale forums?
But none of this is unique to the Stones. I managed to pick up Paul McCartney tickets last week for Brooklyn just days before the show. And we saw the same type of price drops getting closer to the show. However Paul was (supposedly) sold out and he never had a cheaper offer of $85 tickets for his hardcore fans like the Stones have offered.
I thought the idea was to buy low and sell high Ronnie?
