Agree with you Flynnaus, I would never 'support' scalpers on principle. A low form of human life, in my opinion.

Well $580 might turn out to be a bargain:Originally posted by Yelta View Postsee Aussies as an easy touch, $580 to see The Rolling Stones, don't think so, however many obviously don't see it that way
I would never pay scalpers' prices on principle, no matter how good the band is. They buy something not because they want to see it but to make a quid from it, thus denying legitimate fans the opportunity to pay a fair price.Within minutes, tickets also began to appear on eBay at inflated prices, with tickets to all shows running as high as $5000.
Tickets have also been posted on Gumtree, selling for up to $2500 a pair.
Last week, tickets to the sold out show at Adelaide Oval had surfaced on eBay for up to $3000.

Respect! That was just after Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts joined. That would have been amazing.Originally posted by childsy View PostYou must be kidding. I saw the Stones live in their very first performance in London (UK) at the flamingo club on January 14th 1963.
Dunno. I think some would quite happily believe the Stones pre-dated the Norman invasion. The boys were there to seduce William the Conqueror's daughters (and even his missus)I think it may have been a bit (or even a lot) later than 1063!
Oops, I see now it has been corrected.
Lock up your grandmothers!

Still the greatest?? Good maybe, but not STILL the greatest IMO.
There just has to be a "best before" date with entertainers these days and just what one is prepared to pay for an out of date product depends on their "addiction" level.
Go for it Rocky, I'm sure you will be duly satisfied with the performance. It's amazing how well technology assists "live" shows these days.

The Greatest
You must be kidding. I saw the Stones live in their very first performance in London (UK) at the flamingo club on January 14th 1963.
They are still the greatest Rock and Roll band around. for your info. all Australian concerts are all sold out.

If you must see them, virtually anything less than the "ransom" seats are worthless for reasons already given above.
And anyone contemplating the 150 dollar seats might instead consider taking the wifey, mistress or girlfriend out to dinner, and buying a strolling bones CD that you can listen to forever and a day...
And sorry but (all good australianisms).....at those prices there will be no more of their concerts for me.....eh !

Crikey! OK.Originally posted by Rocky View PostI have never seen the Stones live - consequence of living in the sticks and raising a family on one income.
Now I'd happily pay $600. to see them as I can't see the sense being 20 or 40 rows back and only being able to see tiny stick figures on the stage.
If I'm going to look at them on the big screen I may as well stay home and watch a DVD.
For me, it's another $1000. anyhow by the time I cover air flights and accommodation etc.
Worth every cent.

Might be our last chance to see them standing unaided. Next time they come out they'll be on Zimmer frames or in wheelchairs.

Could be worth getting that close to see how long the wrinkles keep flapping when they try to change direction or jump up & down...

Do you really want to stand that close to Keith Richards' wrinkles?

Yep, ya can buy the cheapies (approx $150) if you want and stand among the great unwashedOriginally posted by flynnaus View PostThat's for the premium tickets (the tongue pit as it's called).
I saw them in '73 and I think that's when they were at their peak.
Seriously, $580 would come close to putting a new Mazzer or Macap grinder on my bench.
