Stones Anger Fans With Expensive Merchandise
By WENNSunday, May 9, 2010
THE ROLLING STONES have infuriated fans by charging a whopping $2,249 (£1,499) for a limited edition CD boxset and $2,999 (£1,999) for a commemorative case.
The (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction hitmakers are selling an autographed set of records and a DVD to mark the re-release of their 1972 album Exile On Main Street.
They also have attache cases featuring a signed lithograph up for grabs for a massive $2,999 - but their loyal followers are fuming with the high prices.
Fan Mike Andrews tells Britain’s Sunday Mirror, “The Stones have lost touch with reality and their real fans.
“The only people who will be able to afford these items are the very rich.”
The souvenir range also includes a replica of a travelling case belonging to a member of their road crew, priced at $525 (£349.99).
