«Breaking News» Rolling Stones fan files human rights complaint accusing Mick Jagger of AGEISM over ticket price

A Rolling Stones fan has filed a human rights complaint accusing the band of age discrimination over ticket prices.

Michael Boyajian, who needs a walker to get around after a fall seven years ago, says the Stones are charging five times as much for disabled tickets as they do for standard seats.

In his complaint to the New York Division of Human Rights, he says he would have to pay $1,075 (£810) for a ticket to the concert at the city’s MetLife Stadium in June, compared with the normal $200 (£158).

The retired judge, 60, said frontman Sir Mick Jagger, 75, and his bandmates Charlie Watts, 77, Keith Richards, 75, and Ronnie Wood, 71, should be taking care of their core ‘baby boomer’ fans given their combined age is 298 [File photo]

The retired judge, 60, said frontman Sir Mick Jagger, 75, and his bandmates Charlie Watts, 77, Keith Richards, 75, and Ronnie Wood, 71, should be taking care of their core ‘baby boomer’ fans given their combined age is 298.

Mr Boyajian, who has never been to a Stones gig, added: ‘Baby boomers are their biggest fans, and we’re ageing out now. I just want them to make more accessible seating available. I have to use a walker. I have trouble getting up and down steps.’ 

He said that when he tried to buy tickets, wheelchair accessible seats were either sold out immediately or did not exist. The only disabled seats available were for those with hearing and sight impairments – and were far too expensive.

He filed his claim against gig promoter Concerts West/AEG. Neither the firm nor the Stones were available for comment last night.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
