    Just checked on Ticketmaster for the O2 gigs

    tickets priced at between £106 to £406

    Dont think I will be going soimehow.

    The £106 tickets are not advised for people with a fear of heights !!!!

    £406 tickets are unreserved standing tickets.:(

    I went to see them in Roundhay Park in 1982 (I think) 24 song set list, God knows how many they do now.
    I am sure that Roundhay gig was the last one of the tour.
    Joe Jackson, George Thorogood and the J Geils band (I think thats when I saw them), support acts.

    Me too, very young. Saw some gigs in 1990 at Wembley, one the same night of England's world cup semi. £25 a ticket face value then, how they can justify that level of increase is beyond me. £400 is obscene, will not be going.

    Wouldn't pay over 20 quid to see a bunch of washed up geriatrics. They should call it a day.

    Why would they call it a day when they can still rake in plenty of money to do a few shows? They'd be crackers to stop, if people are stupid enough to pay those scandolous prices thats there concern not the bands

    The stones are the greatest rock n roll band in the world - wonder how many of today's so-called bands will be together and demanding top-dollar in 5 years time - never mind 50.very expensive but see how many tickets are left after tomorrow on sale date!!!

    Being around the longest doesnt make them the best though, theyve had 2 good albums in my opinion.
