TIRANA, June.5 – Despite rumors in Tirana that the icon music group, the Rolling Stones, were to perform in Albania this summer, the group will not be coming to Albania. Instead, the concert will be in neighboring Montenegro, in the beautiful tourist destination of Budva. No fewer than 10.000 tickets have been sold in Albania for people who are going to travel north in order to enjoy these legends of rock music. The agency, “Music Star”, will bring the Rolling Stones to Jaz beach on June 9, while the city is preparing to allocate parking space to those attending the concert. The demand for tickets has been incredibly high. Organizers Ivan Ivackovic, handling public relations for the Rolling Stones in Belgrade and Budva, Raka Maric, owner of “Music Star” and Dejan Maksimovic, director of the firm, have explained that the intense interest in the concert has resulted in 10.000 Albanians buy tickets so far, while 8000 have been sold in the Croatian city of Dubrovnik, another popular tourist pot. Considering the ticket price of 100 euros, which is high for students and young fans, the concert organizers have said they will begin offering tickets for half price given the high demand which has exceeded their investment. Offiials said the final 2,000 tickets will be sold for 34 euros.
The VIP ticket, which includes a parking space and a reserved spot on the beach where the concert will be held, costs 500 euros. The group will first visit Montenegro and relax in its tourist sites for two days and have a 2.5000 m2 space to themselves on the beach, before their fans arrive.
The miracle
According to Maksimovic, the concert is a technological and biological miracle because of the high technology used in the concert and given the combined age of the group, which is 250 years, though their performance and energy can match those of 18 year old passionate singers. This is the first visit of the group to Montenegro and their concert is expected to stimulate the tourism industry there.
