Redhead74 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I shudder to think what the ticket prices will be here in Oz since every live gig here is nearly double the price of anywhere else in the world.I'll probably go though, never seen them live and probably never will again. And since I'm all about pissing money up the wall lately, what's the big fucking deal, hey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Supposed to be 18 dates. This is half of that. Ticket prices seem to be about $140 - $630 for most shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 It's also likely some cities will have added dates, they've done it in the past. That's a long in between period from Anaheim to Toronto (that's prob. where the LA date's going) , Chicago and Boston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 That's less than I thought, but I'm a little tight on cash right now until I start working full time ('tis that time of year). So, as much as they're on my "must see" list even though I'm not a die hard fan, I think I'll have to pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I won't do Toronto - the upper bowl seating is pure shit in the ACC. I'm thinking maybe Philly, or nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 That's part of the reason too - upper bowl seating in the ACC is awful and I couldn't justify spending around $200 on seats that bad when I'm tight on cash, even if it is The Stones.

Zint Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 Tornto date couldn't be anymore perfect for me.Might give this a shot.An arena show (pretty much guaranteed to be a second Toronto show)..regardless, it'll sell out in nanoseconds and I probably won't score anyway.Not sitting sidestage or behind the stage, and not going scalper.Soooo..let's see if luck is on my side.

username Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 If there's ever going to be a Dutch show... I think in 2006 they cost me about 110/120 euro's and in 2007 about 90/100 euro's. I'd hate to pay a lot more this year... Anything over 150 is barely a consideration. I mean.... this is a little crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zint Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 Isn't upper bowl seating generally kinda shitty?I've sat in many, and I'm not quite sure what's so radically different about the ACC??Ever sat 500 level in the Rogers Centre?...upper bowl in the ACC ain't so bad after that.

Zint Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 WOAH!!..hold up!!...Mick-fucking-Taylor is a special guest at every show??!! If I attend only one show this year, it will be this event!Holyfuckingshit!!...just...holyshit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That fucking wall that hangs down above the rim of the floor. Blocks view lines and the sound is atrociously bad - it was so bad at VH that I actually tried to argue a refund with Ticketmaster. It's so much worse than any other upper bowl seating I've ever had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 When the Stones had posted their song list from the 50 shows, they did have "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" written down. We'll see if they get Mick Taylor to do more than "Midnight Rambler". Staples upper level's pretty bad for concerts. I blame the promoters on the venues, not the band in this case.

James Bond Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I can attest that the sound is atrocious for ACC upper bowl. That being said, I'm generally not impressed with the sound at the ACC anyways. Give me Copps any day.I do agree with you Zint - it's not that bad if you're comparing it to 500s at the Rogers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classicrawker Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Probably going to be the last kick of the canPeople have been saying that since 1975! Yeah well, 3 members will be in their 70's by the end of this year.That's a far cry from '75.Tick tock,,ya know? And Keef has really been struggling with his chops last time out.........Don't know if this will be the last time they play but I can't see them touring again after this one...maybe one offs and special occasions............Yeah I noticed that with Keef.Regardless, I still think that electricity, that sense of something special going down will be evident at these gigs.You know, that Stones-vibe that you only experience at a live gig.Keef hitting a note once every five bars is a little less noticeable at a live show (perhaps).I rewatched that ppv the other night and just found myself thinking...I really should try to take in one of these gigs.I don't disagree Zint as a Stones concert is an event but after seeing multiple shows every tour since 1975 I just don't know if I can justify dropping $1000 for tickets for me and the wife this time around for decent seats.........and I refuse to pay $200 a ticket for nose bleeds..........that being said if someone has the money to spend it is a concert you will never forget and highly recommended............
