Rolling Stones Priced Accordingly

When it was announced that some seats at the Los Angeles performance sold for $60, pundits speculated what it meant for the tour. Theories aside, here are the cold, hard facts:

The seven Rolling Stones shows had an average ticket price of $355.14.

The lowest average was at the Honda Center  in Anaheim, Calif., where two Stones shows averaged $307 per ticket.  The Las Vegas show, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, had the high average at $459.

The Rolling Stones still have Pollstar’s highest-grossing tour of all time, the massive “Bigger Bang” tour that spanned two years, rather than a few months, and was performed at stadiums as well as arenas.

In 2005, “Bigger Bang” had an average ticket of $133.98 and was the top tour, grossing $162 million. In 2006, the average price was $136.63 and the tour dates grossed $138.5 million.
