Rosalie Druyan wants to stick the Rolling Stones between a rock and a hard place with a $US51 million ($A66.37 million) lawsuit.
Shattered when Mick Jagger's sore throat scrapped the Rolling Stones concert Friday in Atlantic City - four hours before its scheduled start - the Stones superfan from Brooklyn is taking the wrinkly rockers to court.
In a class-action suit to be filed tomorrow in Manhattan Supreme Court, Druyan contends the late cancellation cost her and other fans big bucks on non-refundable hotel reservations, forcing them to spend the night together in cold and rainy Atlantic City.
"Talk about no satisfaction," quipped lawyer Martin Druyan, who is representing his wife in the case.
The Stones - who are set to play the Beacon Theatre tonight for a Martin Scorcese concert film on the legendary band - cancelled their show at Boardwalk Hall when Jagger came down with a sore throat. But the bad news didn't come soon enough for Rosalie Druyan, who last month had bought a pair of tickets to the show for $US575 ($A748).
"People came from all over to see the Stones," she said.
"When you talk about travel expenses, hotel and baby-sitting expenses, that's not a cheap day."
Druyan said she received a Ticketmaster e-mail on her BlackBerry notifying her of the cancellation when she was a few kilometres from Atlantic City. By then it was too late to cancel a $US300 ($A390) reservation at the Trump Taj Mahal and too rainy to drive back to Brooklyn.
"We were bored for nothing," said Druyan.
The Stones announced today that another Atlantic City concert will be held on November 17 and that refunds are available for ticketholders who can't make that date.
But Druyan and her husband, who have attended nearly 50 Stones shows between them, won't be among those going back to Atlantic City. A spokeswoman for the band was not available for comment.
"We're real Stones fans, and we see them everywhere," Rosalie Druyan said.
"But we won't be seeing them at the make-up concert."
This is bloody rediculous. I mean if it was to compensate her losses, but I dont think her hotel cost $51 million. and its not their fualt she chose to drive and stay ina hotel anyway. she could ahve walked and camped hahha
And shes says hses a big fan... bullshit/
