On the 1981 tour I got my buddy and me 8th row center seats at the Rosemont Horizon outside Chicago for $20+. I went to the Ticketmaster location at a local mall at 10 am, and there was nobody else there.

Of course, my friends and I saw Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin (1st tour), The Doors, Janis Joplin, Steppenwolf, and a whole slew of other big names in the 1960's and very early 1970's for $2.50, $3.50 or $4.50 a seat. We saw the Stones in Indianapolis in 1972 on the Exile tour, and I'm sure we didn't pay much more than $10, as I was a broke college student at the time.

Now I'm paying $633 each for 52nd row floor seats for the 5/28 Chicago concert.

My buddy and I have seen the Stones on every tour but one since 1972 (he saw them in '65 as well). I thought $300 a seat for the 2005 concert was a lot.
