Yep. Straight to corporate entertainment companies. I bet half the audience won't even be from the UK.

Re: Sold Out In Less Than 5mins
Apparently ebay was flooded with Stones tickets within 10 minutes of them selling out. Most would have gone, on block, to tout agencies who would now be selling them for like ?300.00 each (or more). I doubt any more than a few thousand fans (probably less) got tickets direct from the site yesterday, but it is still described as having 'sold out' - implying all were snapped up by fans.

My colleague had himself, his wife and 2 of his kids trying from the second they went on sale. Never got a sniff....he is a diehard fan and as you say Max could find online resellers advertising within another few minutes.

Re: Sold Out In Less Than 5mins
One good thing is that it's in a large park rather than an enclosed stadium. So if you want to go show up in Hyde Park and stand about 50 yards behind the rear hoardings, you'll probably be able to see the tops of the video screens, you'll hear the roar of the crowd, and you'll certainly be able to hear the gig. So you kind of get to go to the show - and that is free!

More likely sponsored by SAGA holidays, but don't knock it, our grandkids will probably have to suffer another Justin Beaver comeback attempt

Oh dear
Not very good, is it? I worked on a South Bank Show nearly 30 years ago about Ronnie's dawbings. They aren't any better now than then. Still its good to see he's got a hobby that will occupy him between tours.
