Well, you lived a dream of mine! LOL!
I do not have a problem with paying more for the Stones either but I do think they still charge a bit too much. The problem I have is when acts that have only been around a few years start charging these amounts. It has become the standard rate and I don't think it's worth what they are getting for it.
I miss the days when concerts were simple and fun, not a hassle. You make hard economic decisions when you buy a ticket these days.
Glad to hear you fulfilled your dream. Now I can sit back and be extremely jealous!
