A fan of the Rolling Stones is accusing Ticketmaster of pulling a "bait and switch" while he was buying tickets for the band's Canada Day weekend concert north of Toronto. Edward Mair went online shortly after 10 a.m. Wednesday hoping to land four tickets during the show's presale period for members of the Rolling Stones mailing list. "When that happens, they notify you that they've put you to different tickets and the price has changed," he said. Mair bought the tickets, which totaled $801.50, but later contacted Ticketmaster for an explanation about why the price appeared to jump during the transaction. The Rolling Stones, left to right Ronnie Wood, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Charlie Watts, will play an outdoor concert in Oro-Medonte, Ont., over the Canada Day long weekend.
