My first and probably only Stones show, as I don't think I could afford to do it again. Glad I finally got to see them

Very very cool, and nicely done w/ticket... I like that A LOT!

Lovely, Bastion. You are a true fan.

You've done a nice job with that. Looks really impressive.

Nicely done sir.

Looks nice.

Hope you get the chance to see them again.

Cool

With the money you spent on custom framing, you probably could have afforded to see them again.

Looking good, hope you bought a second t-shirt to wear!

Ticket - £95
Hotel - £200
Train - £150
Food/Drink - £50

£495

Excluding the materials I already owned, this cost me about £50. As a student, I can't afford to go to as many shows as you can. So forgive me if I want to make this one a bit more memorable.

That's not bad. I managed an art gallery for a while so I know how expensive framing can be. I've got a beautiful Elton John Tumbleweed Connection record store poster that would look great in an old wooden western-motif style frame, but since I no longer have my employee discount there's no way I can afford to do anything with it. Anyway, you saw one more show on this tour than I did. I did seriously consider making the drive to Chicago, but my car needed new tires, and there went my ticket money ....

Got curious about my Elton John poster and I see someone is selling one on ebay for $250.00. I think I only paid $100 for mine. Hmmm ....

That is lovely Once you see them you cannot help yourself. Done a lot of overtime lately to pay for the 2nd Hyde Park show.

That turned out AWESOME!

You can always wear it later if you change your mind!

Looks great!

Remember: there will always be just one "first concert" for everybody

I spent ages getting the girl at the merch booth to get me this white version of the shirt, she kept saying there were only black ones, and the line was so long I didn't dare keep pushing the point and say I'd seen the white ones posted on IORR! So I got a black one, and hope to be able to get a white one online sometime.

Anyway, yours looks terrific framed.

Very nice

Great, so young, but not too late. Maybe there´s more to come!

Very nice, just missing a picture of you in the angle of T3/Stage/Catwalk (was in the same spot at HP2) ! And at least that's one ticket you won't lose! I keep all of mine but...er...have lost track of most of them in various moves ;-) Not that I really had to (helped "justifying" going back to HP2...) but I saved on the hotel costs by "sleeping" at St Pancras for the first show and then at Heathrow for the second one...possibly a useful tip if they play in London again ;-)

Hats off to you, Bastion! The red outlines make the whole thing look very distinctive and the addition of the ticket is the perfect touch. Very nice indeed.

But don't abandon hope of seeing them again! Maybe you could try some couchsurfing next time to reduce the outlay.

Bastion, that's very nice!

Yes, as others are saying there may still be a way!! ::fingers crossed::

~"Love is Strong"~

Agreed .. looks utterly ace. Class job you've done there.

Looks very nice, also very nice shirt!!!!!!!!!!
I am try to find this shirt but it lloks it is not available in the Hyde Park Version, is there somebody who can help me out?

A nice job!

18? Not too late at all... think this way: there will be the time when you will have all these stories to tell of this funny rock and roll band and of their crazy fans, when most of us are gone...

Looks good!!!
