Would you pay US$180 to see the Rolling Stones?

bbchris

That's the price of the middle tier tickets to see the Rolling Stones on either 28 or 29 March in Hong Kong!!

The cheapest tickets are US$77/each and the top price is US$372/each. :bigeyes

I wouldn't see them for $1 back in '82 when they still had a pulse, but this is another day and age, they won't be around forever and still put on a decent show from what I'm told..

I'd say do it.

No, if someone managed to resurrect the two dead Beatles and put on a show I wouldn't pay that much. Value is the only issue here, not quality. My max is $40 for any show. If I had an extra $180 I would go to 18 $10 shows, that would be more value.

LARREE! I got the wrong price! Its US$372 for the top prices! :bigeyes

It's a difficult choice cause we don't get many big acts here in HK - the Stones may be the biggest we've ever had.....

We've had Elton John, Steve Vai, Suede, Guns & Roses (last year), Cliff Richard (who's back next month), and oldies like The Platters, The Three Tenors etc.

Musicians only seem to come here when they are hasbeens. Exceptions are Santana (who's coming again!), Robbie Williams.

Or they come here to go shopping.......

Mind you my Mum saw the Beatles when they were here - without Ringo though - she was one of them screaming girls

That seems extortionate. The only justification would be they may not be around much longer, and a part of musical history will go with them. But even so, frankly it's a rip off. Just be aware that the Stones you'd be seeing would be the sell-out version. Big difference IMO.
