The actual prices for their 'first row seating' which is actually called the Tongue Pit, are at $1,500. This isn't the inflated StubHub price, this is their actual asking price. Nosebleed seats are $300-$400.

Now that brings us to StubHub. There is an asking price at one venue for $1 shy of a million dollars. Pretty much every place has Tongue Pit tickets at $10,000. Multiple place also have $70,000 ticket and $40,000.

Is this the most absurd thing to anyone else? I wouldn't spend that type of money on anything but a house.

They will still sell out every show. This will probably be their last ever tour.

$70,000 for one ticket? Do I get to do drugs with Keith before and after the show, sing backing vocals on "Can't you hear me knocking" and get Mick Jagger's hand in a glass jar when he dies?

All that to see Mick Jagger dance like a fig once more. I've always liked the Stones' music, but I've never had a want to see them live, and none of the concert footage of theirs has ever made me think otherwise.

I thought that when I saw them in 1988.

Oh, I paid $50 dollars a ticket and we thought they lost their minds.

tickets are usually under priced. If some sells tickets on stub hub for above face value that tells you the tickets were too cheap to begin with. If you think $1500 is too much, don't buy them, i wouldn't.

I always thought the Stones had the most expensive tickets, which is why I haven't seen them since the 70's- once in Baton Rouge & once in New Orleans. Haven't seen then since because of the costs...
