Johnny had the proper pre-sale code given by the Rolling Stones themselves. He was online as tickets went on sale. He tried getting regular priced tickets and none came back. On a hunch he tried for best seats and best price meaning show him if even the $750 tickets were available. They were not. So both nights with the correct pre-sale code are 'sold out' and YET (you knew there'd be a YET), tickets are available on resale sites like Stubhub and something calling itself "Ticket Network (legalized scalping -- they can do it because they are a big company whereas you can be arrested for doing what they do) conveniently marked up 400% already.
People, this might be the final straw. How are Ticketmaster and Stubhub even legal with their business practices. They're basically crooks (and Johnny has been saying this LONG before today, it's not sour grapes) who don't care if any fans ever see the show as long as they move tickets.
No doubt you'll be hearing various threats from outraged fans and local politicians (It IS an election year) but until these types of business practices are curtailed nothing will change.
SHAME on you Ticketmaster and your bastard child StubHub.
