What's the MOST you've paid to see the Stones?
Date: July 14, 2007 02:35

The most I've paid is $550 for the last Hard Rock Las Vegas show w/Soloman Burke. Probably the worst money I ever spent. Stuck in the back, crammed against the bar, behind a post. I could hardly see them. We where packed in like sardines. It was as hot as hell. I was waitin' for the fire marshall to shut the show down.

$300 + RS.com membership for O2. Generally I refuse to pay over the odds and go for back row or GA. If you get back row you can sometimes sneak to front.

Most in 2007

I bought 12 tickets with 3 memberships for my friends and me. Everybody has to pay ca. 130,00 Euro/ticket (Germany A2 places Row 6/7 - seating FOS)

And I think ca. 130,00 is enaugh !

Normal prices for best tickets in Germany (WHO, Clapton, Genesis, Police, Shakira, Rod Steward ...) are 75 - 90 Euro !!!

I was at the same show in Vegas at the Hard Rock Hotel several years ago! Stuck at the bar, no view, paid 250 from a tout at the door. A real disappointment given the small venue, and not a lot of crowd excitment either!

Most paid: $350 7th row center opening night Chicago 97 (sat next to Phelge in fact)

Best Bargain: Roseland $50 plus $100 RS.Com Fan Club Membership, this landed me 5 people deep directly in front of Ronnie.

Excellent Bargain: $40 x 2 9th row Keith side Atlanta Georgia Dome 1997 for my wife and I. Also able to unload my 2 not so great tix for face value $60.

Least Paid: Orlando 2nd show 1981, $16.50 (big bucks in 81 however)

WOW, people pay a lot of money just to have a "good"seat at a stadium or arena show! "Luckely" for me i live in Europe (Holland) so i önly" have to pay 100 euro for a general admission ticket so that i'll be inn the first five rows at a show.

Cheers,

I think I paid $400 for 9th row, opening night of Licks, but I've blocked out the exact amount.

My cheapest paid ticket was for Voodoo Lounge, though.

$450 for the opening night show at Fenway Park. Hey, it was a legendary band playing at a legendary park....money well spent. I paid $250 for a front row show at Columbia, SC in 1994...another good value.

Hi all,

I paid $140 (120 euros) for a FOS ticket in the 40 Licks Tour,
Zaragoza (Spain) Show, 2003, 29th september.

But last year, $85 (72 euros) for the same location in Porto show (2005, 12th august)

Hi all.

Sorry, Porto show was 2006, 12th august, not 2005.

By the way, I would like to do my own record right now for 02.

$1,000 face value for the Joint in Vegas..had a nice seat 16th row,
but the show paled in comparison to other small club/theater shows I saw and
paid only apprx. $50 for - Stockholm Cirkus, Vredenburg, and Astoria.
The Joint setlist was rather dull, and most of the crowd was unenthusiastic.
The overall atmosphere was synthetic, like most things in Vegas.

400 for a place right next to b stage in San Diego in 2002 and 100 bucks for almost the same location at Anaheim Stadium. Was it worth....it was priceless. I have seen a ton of free shows in the past so paying to see the Stones is no problem.

The Fan Asylum Travel package which included Ahoy, Utrecht, and ADam. $2500 with hotel not bad by todays standards. Only paid $50 to get in the Tower in 02.

The most I ever paid for any concert for tix alone is the the upcoming 02 show, which is about $100 higher than waht I paid to see CSNY last year.

funny thing i paid the most 550.00 $ during my least favorite tour Licks , now inflation & face price adjusted i may have paid more in 1989 when i paid 250.00 $ for tour opener in philly but it was 5th row center , also paid same amount for the next nite which was 3rd row off center , face value for those tics were 28.50 $ i think , that's 10x face,but to me those tickets were money well wasted

I printed this out back on Dec. 13 , 2002 because that 5320.00 $ is the most i have ever seen for a Stones ticket

I paid $550 for a terrible seat at the Radio City gig but ended up when the Stones came on really close, stage left! I've paid that same price for 7th row Madison Square Garden in 1998, an awesome show that Fiona Apple opened for and she sucked! My best bargain was $25( that my Dad paid for) general admission paid to a scalper for the August 8, 1975 show at Rich Stadium, Buffalo when I ended up right in the very front, center! I was hoisted up on some guy's shoulders and I had a new 35mm so my photos are amazing!! That was a LONG DAY! Gates opened at noon, hot sun, 90 degrees, had to sit and keep my spot on the hard ground, afraid to move for fear of losing my place; I was alone with 90,000 of my closest Stones buddies, and the Stones came on just as it was dark at 9:10pm. This was my favorite Stones concert of all time!
