Tickets for the Rolling stones 100 level not even on the FLOOR, and 16 rows back -- $450 each

what is even more INSANE is the "Convenience Charge" of $23.25

your looking at almost 475 a ticket right there plus another 10 dollar handling charge im sure.



Guess they need the money for blood transfusions every night.

Or the stage hands....

An article about the Stones show at Fenway said that it took 70 trucks to bring their stage in from Toronto. 70!!!

There is also an option not to purchase tix at all. A few years back when Aerosmith and Kiss were touring together prices were so high people simply weren't purchasing them so the closer the show date got, the lower the tix prices got.

The Stones added a show at Madison Square Garden in January in addition to the 2 they're playing in the Garden and Giants Stadium next month, tickets went on sale this morning - top price was $454.50, $479.35 with fees included. I heard on the radio it sold out in 9 minutes.

That's the difference between this tour and the one I mentioned. There's actually a demand to see the Stones but if people refused to buy tix they would end up having to lower ticket prices. By the way, no one has mentioned there are also $60 tickets for sale (at least at their NC shows).

I posted an article in the off topic area, the price of stones tickets is mentioned in there. I had no idea they were that much.

I didnt buy them. And also on that Kiss and Aerosmith tour--I decided thats when they got too greedy too. Years of getting my tickets through the fan club, sitting up front and paying a measly 50 bucks at the most for the seats-- then they go around and start charging 125 total bullsheet.
