If the Rolling Stones (and other aged rock stars) have successfully avoided growing up, they have not, as has been duly noted, successfully avoided growing old.

And it only gets worse.

The Daily Mail is reporting “apparent apathy surrounding ticket sales” for the group’s upcoming British concerts as promoters hastily erect billboards and take out newspaper ads to try to sell tickets.

But perhaps most embarrassing of all for the band who have a combined age of 249 is that cut-price tickets are also being sold to pensioners through the company Saga

.

Saga, a company offering value-for-money services for the elderly has stepped in to offer half-price tickets to see the band during the European leg of their ‘A Bigger Bang’ tour.

The Kent-based organisation, which offers the elderly cheaper options for lifestyle opportunities such as holidays, insurance, financial products and entertainment, boasts on its website: ‘See Gods of rock for yourself – The Rolling Stones return to rock in the UK live.’

Live?

Considering that combined age of 249, I suppose they don’t trust anyone over 300.
