The Dome in St a Louis is a huge indoor stadium. (The Rams used to play there.) Floor tickets (pre-sale) were $136 ea. I registered at exactly 10:00 AM and was 1800th in line. Took only 11 minutes for my turn to arrive and buy tickets. They were for standing area on the floor, but we arrived early and were escorted to floor seats in the front row of the second section back. It was Stones first concert after Charlie Watts death and their first US show after their Covid “break”. Four 40 ft tall video screens above the stage. They played for 2 hrs, 15 minutes. Mick, at 78 yrs old, had all the energy of a teenager. And he is a showman !! Amazing concert. Sound was quite good. What a memory.

I have seen The Rolling Stones a few times. In fact they were the first concert I ever attended in 1978. The ridiculous prices are what will keep me away. I saw Springsteen about a dozen times since I am from NJ. I remember when I thought $200 for a ticket on the floor was expensive now they are $400+ to be in the 200 Section and it was in the back in Orlando. No thank you. I saw them in their Glory Days before the greedy distributors got involved with ticket sales. I agree with inflation but ticket prices have become insane. Enjoy the show if you go. They definitely cannot play as long as they did in their prime. Even Springsteen showed up on time (never used to happen), he has a large entourage of other entertainers and he cut the show time down dramatically about 45 minutes. He used to go 3+ hrs non stop.

Since most of the folks who want to see The Rolling Stones are above the age of 55, I am not sure that being a member of AARP will be much of an advantage to buy tickets.

Ok... I watched it. And thanks for saving me the $2400! My God, that was awful! You know they're just going to butcher it, but, good grief! Mick wasn't singing, just screaming. OK, that's a little impressive for a 78-year-old former junkie, but still! The tribute to Charlie was touching. I should have turned it off the moment they started "Street Fighting Man" (which I finally recognized about 2 minutes in!)

By far, the best choice for Orlando would be $500 for the nose-bleed seats, a pair of binoculars, and a good set of earbuds playing your "Stones" MP3 collection to drown out the noise!

Saw them in las Vegas, and it was a great show. But with Charlie Watts gone it's just not the same. A trio is not the Stones anymore.

I know it’s not the Stones, but we just got tix to a much better entertainment bargain for the $$. $89 each for decent seats to see both Chicago and Earth Wind and Fire on 7/27/24 at the Xfinity Center in Masfield, MA. The bands we enjoyed during our youth are dropping like flies, so couldn’t pass this one up despite the approximate two 1/4 hour drive to the show.

When I saw them around '75 @ the Cap Centre in Landover, MD...

Lip Synced concert?
