16 bucks!! That's LESS than ticketbastards "convenience" charge these days!!!
I recall paying 12.50 in '81 at the Meadowland's Brenden Byrne arena...10.50 for the bad seats! JOVAN PRESENTS.... |

I had that exact ticket stub, but have since lost it years ago! Mine had the row and seat locations crossed out by the usher because our seats were actually under the soundboard when we showed up! We were moved down to the sixth,seventh,and eighth rows! My seat being front and center sixth row!
That was, and still is, the greatest concert that I have ever seen in my entire life! I defy any overrated band like Led Zeppelin to come anywhere near that show! Any Zeppelin fan that tells me any different is delusional. That show was the quintessential rock and roll show. Zeppelin can get fucking stuffed! They couldn't put on a show like the 1981 Fox Theater,Atlanta show if a gun were held to their heads!
That ticket stub is the rarest of any of the 1981 North American tour being the smallest venue,and one that was added at the absolute last minute. While it only cost $16.00 for a ticket, they went on sale at 2AM, and were sold out within the hour. I bought mine from a friend's boyfriend for $100.00!! That was an insane amount to pay back then, but I knew that I couldn't miss that show. I would gladly pay $500.00 for that same ticket today! It is not even mentioned on any of the tour tee shirts or tour program. I wish to hell I still had it!

The biggest jump in rock history is shown by these stubs....In 72 Stones came out with $7.00+ tickets.No one before had topped $4.00...I remember the outrage (until those folks saw the show..then they shut up)..Look at Zep 2 years later ('74) still under $4.00......Such a small world that stub from Maple Leaf Gardens is like 20 ft from where I was sittin.Imagine your first time seeing them and they played twice a day...I couldnt hear fro 3 months..still have ear damage. |

I remember somebody posted an old article here a while ago about Stones ticket prices. They interviewed this one fan that was furious about having to spend $10.00 to see them. |

Perks please don't tell me that you think JFK was a great president?! I mean the guy was in office less than four years and his biggest accomplishment was getting Khrushchev to pull missiles out of Cuba. The USSR would never have even tried to plant those missiles in Cuba had Eisenhower still been president.
Now don't get me wrong, I liked JFK compared to today's Democrats. Hell, today he would be a Republican! He was all for a strong military, and he was for lower taxes. Two things that today's limpwristers in the Dem party could never claim, but still, he served less than one full term!
Like it or not Reagan is this nation's most beloved president of the last several decades because of his accomplishments. He did drastically lower taxes which led to the longest span of economic growth this, or any, country has ever seen in history. He did win the Cold War. Liberal revisionist history be damned! Every single historian worth his salt says the same exact thing. Reagan saw the USSR's weakness (a stagnant economy) and he exploited it for all it was worth. People laughed at SDI. Today Gorbachev says that it was the threat of SDI that directly led to the fall of the Iron Curtain! Reagan, Thatcher, and Pope John Paul the 2nd are directly responsible for the collapse of the Soviet Union. Reagan instigated all of that. Fact.
He also showed that he had balls. Libyan leader Momuammaar Kadhafi is shy one daughter because Reagan decided to show that one time thug that you don't stick your fingers into the eyes of the world's most powerful country. Too bad Bubba Clinton didn't heed some of these lessons! Perhaps we would not be in this shit storm that we find ourselves into today.
True Reagan had his faults. So too did Lincoln, Washington, and other great past presidents, but taken in full, the accomplishments of Reagan's two terms far surpass those of any other president going back the days of FDR and Truman. Clinton can't even be considered a mediocre president when compared to Reagan. Again, fact.

The Iraq situation is making massive improvements. Not that anyone would know about that considering the media is jerking themselves dry over Hillary all the while completely ignoring yet another Chinese fundraising scandal! Gee, the more things change the more they stay the same for the Clinton Corp.!!
Let's just ignore that shit and concentrate on an outed gay Republican! The Republicans immediately kicked the hypocritical fuckhead out of office though! Something that Dem's never do!! They circle the wagons and blame it all on talk radio and "vast right wing conspiracies".
Anbar province is safer today than downtown New Orleans or Detroit yet the media still says all is lost in Iraq!! Just three short months ago Harry Reid stated the war lost and pointed to al Anbar as a perfect example of why. Today Anbar is one of the safest cities in Iraq!! We ARE winning in Iraq!!
Fuckhead Boss (aka-some pussy hiding behind an alias) started this political shit! I'm just not one to back down from a fight.
I actually was just commenting on a ticket stub that I had not seen in some time, and lo and befuckinghold, Boss/Fuckstick decides to turn the topic into a political mudslinging contest. Fuck that. I'll address those challenges with substantiated facts and let idiots like Boss/Fuckstick argue with nothing but their brand of "hate Bush" emotional diarrhea.

No kidding! I wonder if Cohl was just following Babs Streisand's lead. That was roughly the same time period that she was getting heat for charging such insanely high prices. Of course a Streisand audience is far different than a Stones' audience, but it would not surprise me in the least to hear that her ticket pricing policy prompted Cohl's push for such outrageous pricing that we have had since 1998.
I remember the shit storm that those 1981 prices caused. That Fox stub for $16.00 was considered highway robbery in it's day! I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger.....
