Glad I got to see them a few times before they decided to jack up their ticket prices to laughably ridiculous (IMO) levels.
The Stones (and all the other overhyped, overpriced, big name acts) lost me as a paying customer when their ticket prices went over 50 dollars (US) per ticket.
These days I stick to the small theaters and clubs where tickets are usually between 20 to 40 dollars and you have a shot at great seats for those prices.
I recently had front row center for Billy Joe Shaver at a club for $25
Saw Robby Krieger's Jazz Kitchen from a front row table for $25
Also got second row (slightly left of center) for The Residents for $30
And just got front row center for Sonny Landreth for $28
Lots of great bands out there playing small venues who don't gouge their fans.

I paid $150 NZ to see them. Beat that.

$150 NZ is roughly equivalent to $125 US at current exchange rates.
The prices I paid were all in US dollars at the time.

1981 tour - $22.50 (adjusted for inflation, would be roughly $57 today)

1989 tour - $28.50 (adjusted for inflation, would be roughly $53 today)

1994 tour - $35.00 (adjusted for inflation, would be roughly $54 today)

1998 tour - $40.00 (adjusted for inflation, would be roughly $56 today)

Back in 1981, $22.50 was the most I had ever paid to see a show.
I saw them twice in 1989 & 1998, so that doubles my total price for those 2 years.

Ah I see. I honestly would pay any price to see them. I am really hoping they come to New Zealand this year. They will make fuck loads of profit if they do.
