Way too much, but it was fun and I've got the memories.
Don't think there's too much more expenditure to go, no sign of further live shows at the moment
[ I want to shout, but I can hardly speak ]
you have to be in an extremely narrow niche of fans to have spent twice the amount of money on Ronnie's artwork than on concerts and music.
On the other hand, if we've had any price appreciation on the art work, maybe you can also point to the fact that you've MADE MONEY on the Rolling Stones.
You and Cohl!
and I hope to spend a LOT MORE!!
Because... FUN IS A GOOD THING TO HAVE!
Time is money jimmy...hence, you've spent a ton-o-cash since LIFE.

Give us your estimate. Roughly. If you dare! My estimate would be somewhere between $1500-2000, travel and hotels not included. What's yours?

More than I want to think about. Seen them I think 18 times since 1978 with a lot of travel gigs. (Vegas, Vancouver, Portland, Boulder; all more than once except Boulder). From Seattle. Most I've ever spent on tickets twice in Vegas ($750). One of those was at the Hard Rock when it was 1200 seats. Think I have some sort of bragging rights on that one. The irony is they were better the next night @ MGM Grand for $300. Sticky Fingers night on the Licks tour. Need I say more...

Thousands, between shows since 1975 and merch. My wife thinks I've paid for one of their summer houses, but I thinks I'm more in line with a gardener's cottage at best.

Counting books etc I'd say about $750.00.
But if you count related expenses...it's much more...

I would change anything but I reckon it's upwards of £15K.
Trips to the States in 1989 and 1994; several shows on various European tours since 1982. Add in hotels and travel plus countless books, CD's, DVD's etc. It sure adds up!

About 20 dutch guilders in Rotterdam, '73 and 25 dutch guilders in the Hague,'76, so that's about € 20.
Thanks to my elder brothers and sisters, they bought about all the records and boots available.

No idea whatsoever. Too much, probably. The greedy bastards won't be getting a penny more, though.

A helluva lot less than I've spent on my kids...the Stones are for me and I don't feel quilty about one penny I've spent on them.
It's all relative, isn't it? What's wasteful and ridiculous to one person, is a valued luxury to another.

Over 32 years I would say probably the cost of my holiday to Namibia! But as my holiday it was worth it and it has given me immense joy and pleasure!

Thousands and thousands of dollars since'69. Much on poor friends who were big fans, as well as some strangers too. This is UK, Sweden, Argentina,and Germany, and US.

When I say that they won't be getting 'a penny more', I should have clarified that this doesn't include new studio releases, deluxe editions or 'official' bootlegs. They're all good and relatively cheap. I just wouldn't see them live again. I can't afford it and the quality of their performances don't warrant such high a cost.

Good question. Can't add it all up but I estimate around 15-20% of all the money I've ever had. It's been a fun ride though. I usually say they got all my money but I got the better deal. George Harrison said something to that affect, "fans screamed and gave money but the Beatles gave their nervous systems". I think that's close to what he said.

Maybe $25,000 since the early 70's. Worth every dime.
