Rolling Stones surprise Paris with 15 euros gig

The Rolling Stones will perform a short warm-up gig in Paris later today for a few hundred fans and announced on Twitter that they were selling tickets for 15 euros ($19.45) each at a music store in the centre of the city.

Fans queued from the early hours of the morning at the Virgin Megastore on the Champs Elysees after the British band said that 350 tickets would be available there from noon.

«Mobile phones, cameras, video equipment and recording devices are strictly prohibited,» the band tweeted ahead of the gig, which queueing fans said would be held at the Trabendo, a 700-capacity venue in northern Paris.

The Paris music scene has been awash with rumours that the Stones would also play to a crowd of bankers invited by Paris-based investment house Carmignac Gestion at the Mogador Theatre in the heart of Paris on Monday.
