HOW MUCH MONEY DOES A BAND NEED!?

Muse, one of the biggest rock bands around talks about the ridiculous prices bands make audiences pay and reiterate that  they always try and keep their ticket prices as low as possible, saying there's "only so much money a band needs"

Speaking to the Daily Star about the price of The Rolling Stones tickets, bassist Chris Wolstenholme said: "We've always tried to keep prices as low as we can so people can come and watch us.? What's reasonable for one person isn't reasonable to another, but there really is only so much money a band needs."??

Fans were left disappointed after all 33,000 tickets to see legendary rockers The Rolling Stones sold out in minutes, despite costing between $100 and $500 each. Tickets to see the Stones in London are already listed on eBay with prices reaching $6000 for two tickets. Many other pairs of tickets are being sold for thousands each.

Guitarist Keith Richards has said that he hates charging "over the top prices" for tickets, but expects to pocket around £16 million from the shows.

Speaking about the prop in this week'sNME, which is on newsstands today or available online, singer Matt Bellamy says:

It's basically an upside-down pyramid which is a very symbolic gesture. A lot of people think the pyramid represents power structures, you know, in every walk of life. Anything from basic corporate structures with a top down system where CEOs take all the profit and get paid more than the people at the bottom, which is the kind of down to earth version, to the Illuminati, you know.
