About $800 for tickets for four people, two shows. Maybe $20 for gas. = $820. Of course the eating and drinking but I won't put that on the Stones' tab.

8 shows in the US + 1 in London, times 2 tix/per show.....R/T airfare for 2 to London and accomodations/food/attractions for 8 days in London & Paris, R/T airfare for 1 to Churchill Downs, rental car, gas, parking, meals, beer, 8 shirts, 2 copies of the cd (regular & special ed), all the cd singles, the biggest bang dvd...it all added up to about $14,000, almost my marriage, and I lost my parents as babysitters for any future stones shows.....they just don't get my obsession!!

Ha, I only saw 5 shows this year. For the saved money I bought a 69er Fender Precision bass. That's a real value for the money!

You know the thing that I find most sick - and most of you seem to go back much further than me in terms of seeing them live - is that when I first saw them in 97 it cost 75 bucks I think a ticket. At the time that was the most expensive concert ticket I'd ever bought. Now 250/300 is the norm for them. In just 10 years that is insane.

When I saw them in 2005, I paid $7.50 for a beer. Which was the price of the TICKET... 36 years earlier, across the street at the Spectrum!

Twickenham x 2
Paris 2007
Gothenburg
Copenhagen

5 shows. The total damage would be like 1000+ Euros.
I got really fed up with all the bus transportation from middle of nowhere into major cities.
That's the drawback of using those cheap airlines, e.g Ryanair.
I was supposed to go to London as well, but I refused to purchase tickets for 150 quid a piece excluding service charges.

It is too early to tell - but then I´m not too sure I want to know exactly
This year: Rome, Belgrade, Budapest, Brno, Goteburg, Kopenhagen, Lausanne, Dusseldorf, Hamburg, London I and II - must have been close to 2.500 to 3.000 €(or even more)
