The Rolling Stones (tickets | music) have unleashed a limited number of on-stage tickets for the band's upcoming "A Bigger Bang!" tour, which launches Aug. 21 at Boston's Fenway Park.

Heard what Arnie and Ameriquest are pulling at the opening Fenway show for his re-election campaign? It's downright disgusting and the Stones came out the other day to say they have nothing to do with it and don't support his campaign.

Ameriquest has given Arnie a boatload of box seats for him to charge people $100,000 for each of the 40 seats to sit with him and the money will go to his re-election campaign. If you give just $10,000, you get to go to a lovely reception.

Schwarzenegger to rock with Rolling Stones

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Concert tickets for major acts are costly, but $100,000 to see the Rolling Stones?

That's the price to join Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in a luxury box at the Stones' Aug. 21 show at Boston's Fenway Park. The event will cap a multistate fundraising swing that begins next week for Schwarzenegger's Nov. 8 special election.

Schwarzenegger will host a private reception for 40 guests who give $10,000 each to his campaign account. Guests contributing $100,000 apiece will be invited to watch the concert with Schwarzenegger in a luxury box.

The concert event was arranged after mortgage lender Ameriquest, the lead sponsor of the Stones' 2005 tour, offered Schwarzenegger more than three dozen center stage and luxury box seats. A company spokesman refused comment to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Fran Curtis, the Stones' publicist, said the band had no role in the governor's fundraiser.
