ZoSoRose Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Pains me to say but I'll probably skip this tour. They are very expensive and I don't feel like traveling. Hard to believe its been over 5 years since I first saw them and was scared theyd reture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Rolling Stones tour announcements for a long time now have tended to install in us all middle class financial headaches, not musical excitement. I love this band - I truly do - but it is a sad state of affairs. It just seems a nightmare getting Stones tickets now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknroll41 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Might go to the Foxboro gig... It's gonna depend on ticket prices for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Does that mean the Guns tour is over? How do you afford both in one year? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Cnut Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Come down the fuckin' Marquee or the Electric Ballroom and I'll be front and centre. Fuck a stadium though. Anyway, why the fuck are they touring the US, play at home innit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't afford tickets for a bit though. Are they doing Lucky Dip this time around or no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powderfinger Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I’ve booked Hotels for Houston, Denver, Seattle & Chicago. Can’t wait for these gigs!!

I've seen them twice and loved both gigs, but since I've seen them twice I feel okay with skipping this go around. If they came to my city I'd almost certainly go Edited November 22, 2018 by ZoSoRose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I can't seem to get any indication as to how much pit tickets might be, but it looks like they have two front pit sections (similar to GN'R), and in the back of the field, GA sections.

Black Sabbath Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Screwed up and forgot about the presale this morning. Friend of mine was able to get a Pit 2 ticket, which came to just under $600 with fees. Going to try tomorrow and the general sale and see what happens.

I'm assuming that price includes a personal sexslave for the entire show while the band takes some time to personally cheer for your sexual performance. Man, Stones prices are crazy in the US! I'm glad I got to see them for roughly 100 euro's on the No Filter tour.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet the Europeans (Especially the Brits) complain about how bad they have it on ticket prices - no disrespect intended at anyone on here, it’s just what I see in general. I’ll have friends bitching about having to pay £60 for standing tickets for Maiden - over here it’s usually $130-150 after fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are old enough to have lived through an era when you could see arena rock bands, your Metallicas and Maidens, for £15, you are never going to quite feel comfortable with today's prices. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall I'd say the UK is very much on the pricey side of things, whereas Eastern-Europe is relatively cheap. If you'd look at the average income in a particular country it seems to even out a little, but I'm not sure about all the eaxct numbers. And yeah, the US seems royaly fucked in general when it comes to tickets. But even here in the Netherlands... Roughly 10 years ago most big acts would be 50 or 60 euro's. Now those are around 90 or 100 euro's. In fairness, The Stones are one of the few bands I paid slightly more for in 2006 than I did in 2017.

Well yeah of course Europe is priced all over the place, with the UK being a bit more expensive. But it’s still cheaper than the US typically. 20 hours ago, Mansin Humanity said: Here to prove you wrong - just got two LD tickets for Foxboro. $100 total.

Managed to get LD for Philly but nothing else - I’ll try for other gigs as they release more LD as the gigs get closer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
