“A Rolling Stones fan has filed a complaint against the band for discriminating against disabled people,” arguing in a complaint to the New York City Department of Human Rights that although wheelchair-accessible seats are made available at various parts of MetLife stadium at different price points, the less expensive ones sold out right away, which left him with a choice only of pricey areas. And this part hurts: plaintiff Michael Boyajian, “a retired administrative law judge, argued that the Rolling Stones should be more mindful of the discrepancy, given all the band members are in their 70s.” [Rozina Sabur and Daniel Bates, Telegraph (U.K.)]

Why would NYC be involved? MetLife Stadium is in New Jersey…
Shouldn’t the complaint be against MetLife stadium, since it is responsible for the seating configuration and availability of wheelchair accessible seats?
In their 70s? Why, Keith doesn’t look a day over dead.
Reminds me of a complaint (not legal) from a friend of mine over a Bon Jovi concert and the lack of ladies rooms. It was something on the order of “Doesn’t he know that all those teeny-boppers from the 80s are now 50 year-old women with three kids who have been drinking wine for the past three hours?
“the less expensive ones sold out right away, which left him with a choice only of pricey areas.”
Same happens for the able bodied as well.
