Tickets will range in price from $60 to $300 and will be available for sale beginning at 10 a.m. EDT on August 14 at all TicketMaster locations Churchill Downs is the only racetrack venue scheduled to play host to the Stones on their "A Bigger Bang" tour, which will begin on September 20 at Boston's Gillette Stadium. "This will be the first time the home of the Kentucky Derby (G1) has served as the backdrop for a musical production of this magnitude and for a band as revered and widely celebrated as The Rolling Stones," said Churchill Downs President Steve Sexton. "We are excited to welcome one of the world's most legendary rock bands to the world's most legendary racetrack for what promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime concert experience on September 29."--FA http://www.thoroughbredtimes.com/tod...65620&subsec=1 |
