The Rolling Stones Fans Go Wild Following Announcement Of Tonight's Intimate Paris Gig
Thursday, 25 October 2012
Written by Elliott Batte
Rock and roll legends The Rolling Stones announced an intimate, 350-capacity gig in Paris earlier this morning - and, as you can imagine, it’s got thousands of fans going absolutely crazy (and spending stupid amounts of money!)
Mick Jagger and co. only announced the gig this morning, posting on Twitter:
The Rolling Stones are playing a short warm-up gig tonight, Thursday 25th Oct, in Paris
But within hours of the show being scheduled, the event had sold out - helped by the fact that tickets were going for just £12. Fast forward a couple more hours, and the tickets were being sold online for ridiculous amounts of cash - with some reportedly going for as much as £12,000 - or a profit of almost 100,000%.
The whole gig is being kept under wraps, though, and security will be tight - with attendees being told that ‘mobile phones, cameras, video equipment and recording devices are strictly prohibited.’ The venue of the gig was also being kept a secret, though it’s since been revealed that it will be held in Trabendo, a venue in northern Paris.
The gigs will act as a warm-up to their massive gigs in London and Newark later this year, which mark the band’s 50th anniversary. If you need tickets to any of The Rolling Stones gigs (bar tonight’s one-off!), check the dates and links below.
