What do you concert experts think about the cost of Stones tix for Tues May 28th....going down? They're roughly $550 for first or club level....same for floor....
I hope that is not the face value for those, although being the Stones, I think it is...I'd wait until the week of the show - although that is because I have seen them a few times already. With a weeknight show, good chance that you can pick these up "cheaper" (although one can not call $400 ish cheap), especially if you are not picky (like has to be a low row, aisle set of seats in one of two sections, or something like that) as to where you sit.Set a StubHub alert and be prepared to pounce of a set of seats that hit your mark. Or, if your work or a buddy's work has a bulletin board, sometimes these pop up at last minute there as well, sometimes at face or less than face.
Thanks Dal....I was leaning towards waiting....this helps. We're going to book the trip to Chicago regardless...which makes it easier to wait. I guess worse case we can get 3rd level....since it only seats 23k.
Dal_phan is on the money. Book the trip, you'll get what you need if you're patient. Airfare and hotels will assuredly go up, while I'm betting the Stones ticket prices will go down. The secondary market is going to take it up the pipe on this tour, so they'll start to panic soon. These shows just aren't selling that well and I'd expect them to do ticket drops all the way up to showtime, maybe even lowering the price along the way. I just pulled a section 3, row 5 for the $600 price for Chicago night 1 to see what was available. Those were Gold Package seats last week for $1200. Still kinda crazy prices, but that is a good seat. They don't want empty seats at the front of the arena. Hell, try the box office on the first night if you really want to roll the dice. At the Newark show in December I heard of people getting really nice side stage seats for $250 a week or two before the show, and even heard of people getting tix at the box office the night of. That was the PPV show that "sold out" quickly. I paid a hefty sum for the Newark show, and it was actually worth it, but that trip tapped me out. I picked up a pair of the $85 seats for the first two Chicago shows just to get in the building. Won't know the seats until showtime, but have to see em again. I need to see Mick Taylor rip on Can't You Hear Me Knocking and/or Sway at least once in my life. Good luck!
