Rolling Stones Slash Ticket Prices, Sell Out Los Angeles Show Again!!
The Rolling Stones have been charging people an arm and a leg to see them in concert. Most tickets fall into the $250-$600 price range for their “50 and Counting Tour” though they have also come up with some cool ways to make sure people who can’t afford the price tag are still able to enjoy seeing the legendary group live. Last weekend they did a surprise spot in Los Angeles at the Echoplex club a 320 person capacity venue that charged only $20, and for their concert at the Staples center they slashed prices for tickets down to a more reasonable $85 dollar ticket. For those who purchased the $85 tickets, the location of the tickets is at random so you had to show up a few hours before the show to find out where you would be sitting. So the $85 dollar tickets weren’t all for the nosebleeds so potentially someone could have gotten front row seats if they were yet available. What a cool way to reach out to your die hard fans. The Rolling Stones brought out Gwen Stefani and Keith Urban for some help on a few songs during the concert in an absolutely electric Staples Center. Hit the jump for more.

(Photos) Joe Budden Brings Tahiry Out During NYC Concert
Looks like Joe Budden and Tahiry are back together and going strong! Last night, the New Jersey rapper had a show in NYC’s Highline Ballroom, and he had a very special guest waiting in the wings. After holding down a hosting gig on the other side of town, Tahiry made a beeline to the venue and managed to make it on stage with her man to show off their love for the world to see. Earlier this week, the model/reality star posted to Instagram a home-cooked meal along with a cake she’d baked with “14 Days In” written in icing, so that appears to be just how long these two have been officially reunited. Check the pics in the gallery!
