Remember that 60th birthday party for Bill Clinton that the Rolling Stones are playing at in October? Well Product Shop NYC is reporting that "In order to get tickets for the Stones’ at the Beacon Theatre in New York on October 29th and 31st, you have to enter a lottery".
The lottery can be entered here. We're not even huge Rolling Stones fans, but could you imagine seeing them play to 2000 people on Halloween night? Seems like it would be pretty unforgettable.
Check out the above clip of The Stones playing NYC in 1969.
