Did $600 seats at Staples, Pit package at Oakland. Oakland was an amazing show, and for me, i got my money's worth. But in my case, I fly 10 hours to get to a show in the US and have to coordinate it with business trips, work demands, family, etc. So, it was well worth $1500 for me. Would it be worth it if I didn't have as much savings, but had the time to travel from town to town -
when 1500 bucks could get you a seat to every show on the tour if you buy the 5 dollar tix? Hard to say.

great video!

Was side stage on Keith's side at Oakland and the whole show rocked definitely got my money's worth - bring on San Jose and Vegas!! Side stage Ronnie's side for the next two.

Did I get my moneys worth? Hell ya. Almost 2 1/2 hours of the Greatest Rock n Roll band!! $600 well spent.

I was in section 126, row 15 (but I moved down for a bit a couple of times till they made me go back up!) seat 5 which turned out to be on the aisle next to section 127. I was in a black mini dress coverd with sequins so you probably did see me - lol!!

Gonna be on Ronnie's side in section 18 on the aisle next to section 117 for San Jose - same outfit!

I was first row pit in Oakland Ronnie's side. 900 photos and a very good Memory. The concerts did not Peak London 2, but was intense and the set list great. Guitars were Crystal clear but all in all much to loud for both of us. See you tomorrow night in San Jose.

fwiw....I intensely enjoyed every moment of the Oakland show. The qualitative value is easy to chart, but less so the quantitative. I don't buy $300 or $600 items of purses or shoes. I don't drop $100 on lunch. I don't do spa days that cost $500.

When I go to shows, they're usually under $30 because I don't go to big shows.

I don't spend a lot - what I do is mostly San Francisco rent (which is considerably more than a Pit ticket---but rent also also lasts literally 360x longer per month than a Stones' show--and I suppose travel, but a lot of travel is non-neogtiable, non-discretionary, like if you want to get to Europe from the US you will likely fly and pay whatever it is.

So, I would say the phenomenal 4th row experience of the show Sunday night in Oakland---by my own standards of purchase/pleasure/perpetuity, rather than objective "fair market value" rubrics---would be worth about $250-300, meaning if I paid that much I would feel I "got my money's worth," tho I don't tend to think in those terms.

Solid show in LA,not extraordinary. Again,Mick Taylor was the highlight, why not utilize him more? Also, Keith Urban was awesome and tore up Respectable. Gwen Stefani screwed up the lyrics to Wild Horses and was clearly the lowlight.

"DID YOU GET YOUR MONEY'S WORTH?"

Certainly : I spent zero, got the tapes for free through Dimeadozen and I'm ready for a San Jose recording tomorrow morning.
So it's all good for me.
