When was the first Stones concert you saw and how much did it cost? Also when was the last time you went and hoe much did you pay?

My first show was Milwaukee 1975 for $13.50 and last time was in Chicago at the beginning of this never ending ABB Tour for $150.00.

$15 in 1981 for the Stones and Van Halen.

"No Anchovies, Please"

$12.50

Louisiana Superdome, New Orleans, July, 1978

$25 for Steel Wheels in 1989, and I still remember being pissed that I had to pay $50 for Voodoo Lounge five years later in 1994. These days $50 would barely cover the service charge and the parking.

I Think it was about $7.50 in 1969

$32.50
Raliegh North Carolina 1989

The most i had ever paid at that point for any show

and people thought that was very expensive

I think that's what I paid for two beers at my last Stones show.

The best part was that my friend's Mom was the manager of the ticket Department at Monkey Ward's so we didn't have to stand on line to get our tickets

25 guilders 1972 Holland (+/- 12 euro) this wasn't cheap at that time.

I had a friend at Tower Records pull tickets for the Texas Motorspeedway Show back in '97 or so. They weren't great seats but at least I didn't have to wait for that either.

I paid $15 for Seattle on October 15, 1981 as my first show and $99 or around $117 including Ticketmaster charges for my latest show in Los Angeles on November 22nd. That's actually the most I've ever paid to see the Stones I believe, though I may have actually paid a little bit more for the show at the Ahoy in Rotterdam in 2003.

The least I've paid would be the 2 free shows I've seen: Los Angeles in February 2003 and Rio de Janeiro in February 2006.

12.50 , AnaheimCa 1978.

Seattle 2005- $125 for Side bleacher seats

Seattle 2006- $350 for Floor seats, 25 rows back on the B stage track

My first show was "free", because, in 1972, I paid 12 bucks each for 2 tickets. But, I won 2 tickets for being first to go to local radio station with a drawing of the then new Stones'logo.
I sold a pair of the tics for 20 bucks each, so I was $16 'ahead' and went to the Pancake Pantry in Nashville after the show for some grub.

Last show was the Licks tour stop in Nashville and I believe [not certain] I paid 90 bucks each for 2 tics [worth every penny]

Free...1972 North American Tour. 15 years old and an usher at Municipal Auditorium in Mobile, Alabama. $12.50 in New Orleans, 1978. Most recent time was Ft. Lauderdale in March, 2006. $150, something like that.

Ah yes, 29 years ago today. Van Halen, The Doobie Brothers, & a special guest gymnast.

Basel, Switzerland, 1990, CHF 55 which is today about USD 40... Which was quite expensive back then, because normally big rock concerts would only cost about CHF 30-40.

15 bucks philly 78 pretty good seat to, can you imagine that, i guess the stones really were not rich in those days

35 guilders (now roughly 16 euro) in 1982 Rotterdam, field ticket.

Wilco

£10,5 (incl. VAT in advance) for Wembley stadium back in 1982 (june 25th).
