Mick Jagger Expects Fans To Jump The Fence At Hyde Park Gig
Sir Mick Jagger has silenced critics of The Rolling Stones' ticket prices by suggesting fans will be able to jump "over the fence" and see the band's gig in London's Hyde Park for free.
The veteran rockers came under fire
last year (12) for
selling seats for their 50th anniversary
shows in London and New York for huge sums, with some
tickets exchanging hands online for thousands of dollars.
They are heading back out on tour next month (May13) for shows
in the U.S. followed by a headline slot at Britain's Glastonbury
festival in June (13) and a huge concert in London's Hyde Park in July
(13), and Jagger is convinced some fans might be able to sneak into the
final show without paying.
He tells the Bbc, "It (the Hyde Park show)
won't be free completely, no. But I'm sure there's still room over the
fence for a few free ones... I'm not obsessed with ticket prices."
