The Rolling Stones are coming to Seattle.
Nose bleed, partial view of the stage from the far end of Century Link Field, probably close to an 1/8 of a mile from the band, seats are going for $175.
Front stage, reserved seating, an unreal $3250 a seat.
Standing Room Only pits to far left and far right of stage.....$1600 per.
Not sure when tickets go on sale, but I bet they don't sell out in 12 hours like they did in 1981 at the Kingdome for the Tattoo You tour. I don't think they had a ticket over $32 for that show. And $32 was breaking new ground. Very good seats were going for under $200 when they were last here in 2006.

I bet 95%+ sell out in first day.
Ticketmaster and other scalpers utilizing sellers like Stubhub will get all the good seats, and those front by stage will be selling for $10K+ near concert date.

If you're dumb enough to pay 10,000 for a concert ticket,then there will be someone smart enough to sell it to you.
A ironclad rule of economics: What you want will always cost more than what you need.

I've seen the Stones a few times live. Always found them overrated live but I went because they are the Rolling Stones. They play about an hour and forty five minutes and seem to be looking at the clock the last half hour.
One hour and forty five minutes aka Springsteen's first set.

I have seen them three times. About 21 years ago I had to talk my now ex-wife into letting me take my 9 year old daughter to go see them because "it would be the last time they toured". She still busts my you know whats over that but my daughter and I have a laugh every time they announce a tour. We are going to try and see them in LA in May at the Rose Bowl. They were nice enough to schedule that show the Saturday between the Derby and the Preakness.

$5.50 to get into Shea. Brian Epstein told the promoter he was out of is mind and was going to embarrass the Beatles with an empty baseball stadium.
As much confidence as Epstein had in the Beatles, he was afraid of every little possible negative hit to their image.And his biggest problem was right in front of him in the form of the mouth of the rhythm guitar player.

Tickets went on sale a few weeks ago ultra. You should check it out; it is a grand event when the Stones play. I agree that the tickets are way overpriced on this tour. They are playing fewer dates and spreading them out more as a necessary concession to age. They are making up for less dates by charging more. When I watched the Scorcese directed performance at the Beacon Theater (2006), I thought they were done. I recently watched Havana Moon (2016)and was pretty impressed. The biggest drawback for me is that they are just a greatest hits band at this point. Most bands that do this play casinos in places like Tulalip or Lincoln City.

In 2016 I was gifted two VIP tickets to Desert Trip in Coachella... Stones, Dylan, McCartney, Neil Young, The Who and more. Sold them for 5k each plus my my home for 5 days for 5k more. Could have gotten more.

I'm on the fence about going. They are probably the only really major band that started in the 60's-70's that I haven't seen.

All these acts should be fined for ‘overstaying their welcome’ then use that money to build the wall.
