The ticket prices are above my limit, no matter how much money I had....400 pounds...that's 300 too much. I'd feel stupid for paying that for a r&r concert.

Keith once said when questioned by a reporter about the monetary side of things.."Hey man, you can keep the money".................

"Hey Keith...............you're on..........................."

What a bunch of CS Losers....................

i just heard a rumour , the London shows are sold out!

No doubt about that, there are enough Qatari billionaires and Wall Street CEO's to buy 5 tickets for the biggest VIP event of the year.

Genuinely disappointed with the prices. I had hoped to nab a ticket but for those prices they can just f**k off. I've got the CDs, the DVDs, every bit of overpriced merchandise they've offered yet. Jagger and Richards are the two biggest c**ts in the business. So much for Keith's 'my job is to touch as many people as possible' bullshit. Springsteen, McCartney and Dylan can put on great shows without stripping their fans of every last penny. I'm not even sure I want to party with a crowd who can afford 450 pounds for one evening. Definitely finished with them as a live act. Open the vaults and then bow out lads.

Perfect timing for me, I have to pick my daughter up from college in NYC the weekend of Dec. 15-16. I will tell her that if she loves her mother she will get in line on Oct. 29 and get me some tickets. StonesTod, see, kids are good for something.

Saw these on TM using AMEX code: Block 103 RowJ £406.00 per ticket. That's almost $650. Seats are 2/3 towards the back. Ridiculously priced.
The only way I can see going to a show is by waiting until the show nears and watch Stubhub as the ticket prices fall. The scalpers have been scalped by the Stones.

Kind of like the New York Yankees. Fans were able to buy Yankee tickets for far less than face value (even for the postseason) based on the large quantity of tickets on the secondary market.

Last tour I saw rows of empty seats in the back sections of premium priced sections. Wonder if there will be more of the same.

It's not 1250 €, it's £1250. That is 1550 €.

Remember: Stay cool!

Well what can a poor boy do?
Who can't pay for a rock n roll band
Cos in sleepy london town
There's just no place for an ordinary fan.

...I know, it's only rock'n'roll and you paid for...

What does this mean, 50&Counting? Counting what? Money???

After the fact, that all they came up with in 7 years is one shitty new Brenda solo track and one more, this mini-tour is the biggest disappointment in my Stones-life.

Got that right! They go there to network anyway. Concert is just an excuse to get together for some of them...

With a crowd like that - what an atmosphere there will be!

In a rough estimae how much are those tickets in US dollars ? Just wondering if they are ripping people off

sad but true. with the flight and hotel and all, there's simply no way I can go see them this time. I bet almost all of the really good seats will be taken big big corporations for their best customers. sad, sad, sad. ... it's getting very pricey, and who is going to pay.

Jagger is at least openly mercenary and has never spouted this "touching people" nonsense. He is also a professional who has the decency to put his all into a performance. Richards, on the other hand, thinks nothing of going on drunk or wandering around waving at people when he's supposed to be playing.

I'd look into that a bit more if I were you. The box office might be no different than any other ticketmaster outlet, in which case only the first few people in line are going to get tickets.

general rule of thumb is 2 dollars = 1 pound, but I don't know the current exchange rate

I do believe I'm not going to go to see the Rolling Stones. Too expensive. Paid $450 in 2006 for MSG but that was with friends and we had a whole NYC break planned around the concert so...I justified it to myself. I did even pay 250 GBP for floor seats at O2 second night (didn't tell the wife) but 406 GBP for a rubbish seat...no ta
I'll head over there on the night(s) and see what's what

I'm feeling Doom And Gloom. Hope there will be a tour with reasonable prices next year. I'm out on this one. Plus with 3 days off between shows it's hard on people to see both. Kind of makes me think they don't want us fans around. Oh well.

I think i buy the dvd.

Prices are so high it's scary... Or more precisely I'm afraid that with this range of rpices, none of the usual London or NYC tapers will be able to buy a ticket, record the show and share it on the torrent sites... Yeah it's that bad!

Honestly I have NO interest in seeing the band in 2012. A decent aud tape that I'll listen to once will do it for me.

Bootleggers roll your tapes... and empty your bank account!

It's for the CAUSE you know! ><

I hear your anger. The ticket prices are high, I can't afford to go either. Why they need to charge so much, I don't know. Still, I cancelled my Grrr order in protest.
