For Stones in the El Mocambo, same setlist as 1977, I would pay 5k

The 2002/2003 club/theater shows hovered around $100 face value per ticket more or less - I think I paid as low as $75 or maybe even less for one, and maybe as high as $100 at another.
I'd happily pay that much again, and maybe up to $200 depending on venue and proximity to where I live, but would have to think really hard about paying any more than that this late in the game.

How much would you spend (on a ticket, not the whole trip) to see them in a small, historic venue with elite acoustics, like The Ryman (Nashville. Capacity 2362)?

£50 in the UK. I think in the US they were all $50 but I stand to be corrected. Of course, you had next to no chance of getting a ticket unless you were paying the £50 a year or whatever it was to join the fan club and get a presale (one per membership)
Shepherds Bush in 1999 was £10 (the regular ticket prices that tour were about £35)
If a show like this is meant to be a thank you to fans, then the ticket price should reflect that. They've done that a few times in this decade, to be fair.
I dont care what anyone says, to charge the price they did for that Hard Rock show last November and then play a 17-song warhorse leaden set was derisory.

Asking for a tour promoter or just Promotone B.V.?

I paid £40 to get into the Astoria and seeing them up close was a thrill, but Wembley arena two days later was a much better gig.

Sounds about right Gazza. Being from the US, I was taking in to account the conversion of US dollars for purchase of Stockholm Cirkus, Vredenburg, and Astoria tix.
I also had a fan cub membership at the time (or maybe two?), and each code you were allowed a pair of tix - I was very lucky, and traded one of my Vredenburgs for an Astoria to a friend.
I happened to be on the phone with RS.com fan club tech support for whatever reason late one night US/west coast time, and the tech gal nonchalantly told me "by the way Vredenburg tix will go on sale in 5 minutes"...
Stockholm was part of a VIP package which included all three shows (stadium, arena, theater) w/early access and/or first 4 rows, 7 nights in a 4 star hotel, transpo to and from shows, merch, etc. - ALL for apprx. $1500.
Deal of the century by todays standards, and that seems to be about the average price for a single ticket to the 17-song warhorse leaden Hard Rock show in Florida you mentioned...
