"It's like this: We say we want to put a Stones tour together and people come to us with proposals. And these proposals are all basically the same. We actually did push down the prices a little bit... but it's the price of the market...

Keith Richards on the high price for tickets to see the Rolling Stones on tour. The band was forced to release a number of cut-price tickets to sell out their 50 & Counting tour opener in Los Angeles on Friday (03May13).
