I noticed that for O2 tickets, the info on the Ticketmaster site specifically warns people away from the 400 level if they're afraid of heights. There is no such warning for the Prudential Center. These new arenas are genrerally quite huge. Can anyone who has been to the Prudential Center comment how high/bad/far away the upper level seats really are? Thanks.

I think the two arenas are about the same capacity so the height should be about the same. Does the upper level of indoor arenas really bother people that are afraid of heights? You are only two feet higher than the row right below you. It's not like you can fall hundreds of feet.

Some arenas have really steep upper decks. Skydome, now Rogers Center, has a really steep upper deck in parts.

Conversely, Air Canada Centre, a short distance away, is not steep at all.

One of my favorite shows I have seen was David Bowie from teh first row of the upper deck at Air Canada Centre. No one between me an the stage. Great sightlines and sound.

Ok when I was offered mine it was like this

Had to buy a Brussels Affair Box Set. Bumped ticket price to 1300 pounds

Can't figure out how to post the screen shot I took of the Ticketmaster website.

Plus i'm flying from New Zealand so add another 800 pounds to the cost

2100 pounds equals $4300 NZD, or a USA made Gibson Les Paul........

In spite of the outrageous ticket prices, I think that The Stones do a poor job of maximizing revenue. If i were in charge, there would be lotteries, an auction site like Quibids, a Willy Wonka kind of contest, youtube contests, etc. The possibilities are endless. They could make a billion dollars off of these four shows if the did it right. They need to think outside the box. how much would pay to join the Stones onstage and play air guitar? How much would you pay to kiss Mick? How about a ride to the gig in Keith's limo? How much would you pay to play a power chord on a Stones record? Remember Beatle bedsheets? See, there's the problem...They don't make it FUN. They could ramp this thing up to a fever pitch instead of just giving us a headache.

Why such a difference in price with the London Shows? The highest priced package was, I think about 1,000 pounds (around $1,600). Comparable US package is priced about 50% higher. Wow!

If those prices above you are correct, yes they are charging more in the states and it is a buffet.. not even a 4 star dinner served like in London.

Gotta laugh when the crappiestm lowest, bronze level is $950.00.. lol
