And for those who struggle with getting tickets to the shows in Australia, I have two advices:
1. If you’re downright disgusted, And life ain’t worth a dime, Get a girl with far away eyes
2. As a matter of facts, all the scalpers will be stuck with the expensive tickets on show day, and they will beg you on their knees to buy their extra scalped tickets at face value and below.

The first time I saw The Stones I paid $9.00. It was all me money in the world to me at 15 years old in 1975. I still talk about the show to this day.

Dear all and for once and all
Gazzas and Doxas and complainers of a lost world
We read it a thousand times and a lot of us by now know that the ticket prices are expensive. And we also know since quite a long time that you are frustrated and disappointed by the band. However I also know that some of you got pretty easy free tickets from friends of the Band which are not available anymore for you while we had to pay already years ago the full price.
So stop you tennage lamento and just move one to either another site or to whatever site which appeals you more and give you more credit for your sad live.
For me dispite financial cutdowns for such ticket prices it was one of the best years in my life which began on 25th November 2013 and keep on running into 2014 with Fire.
The concerts have been outstanding and most of you do not have any idea of the past because you did not see them live then.
Even if the Stones would give you a free concert you would have something to moan about because that is just how you seem to feel.

Treat it as a blank check--and sit anywhere you like.

$9.00 in 1975, adjusted for inflation, is still only $39.82 in today's money. That's the point all these "Quit yer yappin, Stones tickets have always been expensive" posts seem to be missing.

... in 2013-4, for 40 bucks you get to see "Joe Blow And His Cheerleaders" in a 1000-capacity venue.
The Stones have to separate themselves from this lot... Okay I'll admit it's gone a bit too far!

That's the point for many folks.
This topic winds some of us up more than others.
For myself...I don't begrudge a penny of what it costs me to see the Stones...so long as I can actually afford it.
The problem today is that tickets are priced on the verge of where I literally can't afford them... and therefore can't go !
Then it's an issue !
Edited to add ...
...Yes I know there's always a way to afford it ...but affording it has to include getting it past the missus and/or not feeling like a selfish b*astard

Affording tickets and actually being able to GET them are separate issues...
