Stones NOT a sell out!

It seems a number of tickets remained unsold for last weekend's Rolling Stones concerts at London's O2 Arena - with fans shunning what many considered over priced tickets - further inflated by re-sellers and the secondary market. Primary tickets for the Virgin Live-promoted event were already pretty pricey, starting at £106 including booking fees, and going up to £1140 for a premium package but Xfm reported that at the last minute online offers dropped below the face value as touts moved to offload tickers.

Hit Factory back on

The Hit Factory Live event, originally due to take place in Hyde Park during the summer, is back on and has been moved indoors, with a pre-Christmas date at The O2. the original date for Hit Factory Live, designed to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the launch of Pete Waterman's pop label PWL, was cancelled after Hyde Park  became waterlogged after weeks of heavy rain and the midweek bash was called off to allow organisers Live Nation  to bring wood chip, to make the site usable for other weekend festivals which included Bruce Springsteen's infamous late running show, and the subsequent Olympics gigs.
