I am reminded of the glorious song c o c k s u c k e r Blues..." where can I get my ass....?" Buy one of those tickets and you have found where you can get your ass rooted.

Think about it, you can get a eight ball, a hotel room, a decent escort, and a nice steak dinner with change left over
or...
12 warhorses with a seat next to some middle aged yahoo drunk singing their lungs out to every song.

Could that be the most expensive face value seat in history for anyone? On ticketmaster right now - BACK OF THE FLOOR - with the option to buy an $863.00 brussles package that is not even signed.

No way to justify these prices. Seriously, $ 831.90 to sit in the back of the arena? More power to the people who are buying these.
I will take #1.Fock those Stones...Quote

More power to those who AREN'T buying these tickets. It is empowering to say no and do some soemthing different.

You're right, Seeing the Stones plenty on the last five years should push me to at least try and do something exciting and different, but I'm a boring man living in a boring town.

You're not seeing a band, you're seeing an institute, a museum. It will probably be the only time in history since '73 that you can see the Stones with Taylor and Wyman again on stage. That's what you're paying for. And if you combine all money you've spend on official and bootleg recordings, cinema tickets, DVD's and what ever more, you've probably spend more than this amount.
Many historic bands like The Beatles and ABBA have been offered huge, huge sums of money to perform once again. If they would have said yes and grabbed the money tickets would have been far, far more expensive. In the case of ABBA: they said no, and instead they offered a lame musical in London with adapted songs of ABBA. Tciket price? Up to 350 pounds a seat.

Actually payment is for admittance to see 4 old men with a combined age over 250, (add MT and BW and make that 370 years), play for 2 hours,( yet to be determined the quality of the sound/musicianship, etc., ), songs that we have seen them play over and over and over and over again..

I'm sure Mick's testing the waters with these 2012 shows. If ppl do show up these gigs model (= indoor "small" venues & super high prices) will be the blue print for the 2013 tour.
If they play to half-empty places 2013 will be a "regular" tour : stadiums with "normal" (whatever that means nowadays) prices....
My 2 cents...
(btw I wonder how many seconds of 2012 live Stones performance I could buy with this sum)

I last paid 40 euro's to the Van Gogh museum to see an exhibition of over 130 year old paper which had paint quite randomly applied to it by mentally ill people. Worse, it turned out I had seen those paintings already a hundred times before for free on the internet.
Bummer.
