Stones in Amsterdam Arena: 50 euro's for a field ticket. Stones in Ahoy: 40 euro's if I remember well.

This is from Wiki regarding ABB:
"There were five different ticket options at each concert in the USA: Gold Seating $100, Diamond Seating $350, Premium Seating $175, General Admission $100 and Side Seating $50. In the United Kingdom, the price levels were £40, £60, £90, £150 and £340."
What's this to complain about really? A initially paid 70 euros for Charlie's concert in Finland last sunday, that is four guys with their instruments - nothing more. That's not too far from what RS charged for ABB in Finland.

Gazza, concerning the ticket pricing -the Stones have never -in Europe at least - been THAT expensive. Did you ever go to Disneyland Paris? 54 euro's for a one-day ticket. Ry Cooder or Tom Waits in Carre, Amsterdam? 110 and 150 euro per ticket. Black Crowes in Paradiso? 45 euro. Two days Camping Flight to Lowlands? 165 euro. Dylan in Heineken Music Hall, Amsterdam -65 euro.
Stones in Amsterdam Arena: 50 euro's for a field ticket. Stones in Ahoy: 40 euro's if I remember well. What did we pay for the club shows in 2003? 30 euro's per ticket?
Rediculous was the Golden Circle tickets in the US, for $600. But what was a ticket for an arena shows in 1999 in the US? $45 or so?

People have absolutely no right what so ever to feel bitterness towards RS or Keith. How spoiled can you be?
I do think some people have personal issue that they don't really understand, and that they take it out on the Stones because that's safe.

Hell of a difference between paying the same price for a show in a club than for a nosebleed at the back of a stadium to watch a TV screen.
And most tickets were in the £150 range. A lot of those tickets were classified as category 2 (£80) in 2003, and on the '99 tour they were all around £40.
What planet are you on. Really?

Nothing you write seem to confirm that the Stones are extremely expensive to watch compared to other major acts. That's the relevant thing, not what RS charged 15 years ago.

When you pay that kind of money, however, The Stones owe the audience a musically competent show.

Licks theatre shows were 50 to 60€ - which is quite cheap because the cost of theatre shows on Licks were compensated by splitting stadium fields and charging more for the GA front section.

No, they don't.
They can ask whatever they want, and the audience can pay whatever they want, or simply don't.

That's not what I said. I replied to deadegad's statement.
Although your suggestion could be very funny.

They owe the audience an honest effort to do their best as performers and musicians. Wheter that is musically competent or not in someone's mind that very night is beside the point.
