it's highly likely that this will be their last tour...at least with this lineup. (i know...that's been said before!)

That being said, i think that is an outrageous sum to spend  to see ANY band unless money is not a issue.

I 've been thinking that the band is pretty well washed up anyway...not too impressed with what i have seen and heard in a long time...until now that is. This is the band's first new tune in 7 years. I loved it...and i loved the video as well...creative and ideal for us old hearing impaired folks! I found this really inspiring. Is there anybody in the band under 70? If there is, it ain't by much. Hope i can write/record a track like this when i get there 8 years from now!

I'm with you here Pine! I heard this on the radio a couple of days ago without knowing who it was....but after a few bars I knew exactly who it was. This is the sound I like from the Stones.....raw, rocking, and live sounding! How have you been buddy? Got any new songs lined up for the winter?

Blooby, there is a cheaper seat at the rear of men's rest room. Only $100.00 US.

Blooby no , cheapest seats are £106 GBP , but they were all gone , & they were in the Gods , believe me , in the o2 arena that is high , i saw Kasabian early this year & was in the Gods , man , they look tiny on stage , don't really want to watch the Stones on a screen for that price , might as well stay at home

Yes Rob, it's all about quality time with your daughter, if you have the dust do it if you can! I agree that the tickets are waaaay too expensive but it's not all to consider here.

If you get them, have a good time!!

I'd rather pay $50.00 to come see you guys and gals, than make ticket agencies and managers rich while the performers get the short end of the financial stick.

10$ to 20$ is all I'd give. About the same as I would pay for a disk of music.
And with a disk at home you don't have to sit in a room full of loud annoying dimwits.

That said I did shell out a whopping 50$ to go see the Buddy Guy and B.B.King concerts when they came here and 35$ to go see "The Machine" a Pink Floyd cover band.
I might go as high as that again  if Gilmour ever comes to town :)

Time Machine? Mine is currently broken, but I think Zappa and the Mothers would be nice to go see!

One of the best things I ever saw with my daughter Mazz was to go and see David Blaine in his box at tower bridge. Most people didn't get the magnificence of the act of endurance, but I was fascinated and so was she. It didn;t cost anything other than a the train fare to London and a couple of quid for apples at a local market stall. But we often speak of it, because it was extra-ordinary. You can't buy a memory like that - so if it is a David Blaine experience, then its worth the money, else not. May not be music, but what a showman.
