I am pretty spoiled living so close to both of the casino's and yet I never take advantage of any of the talent coming my way in Ct. I get Free tickets and the wolf den has free entrainment every night. One night they had Rascal flats playing there free. All in all for me it would be where I was sitting. If i could have a table right up front or the baloney booth I pay 200 a ticket for a number of people I want to see. Toby Keith Trace Akins ,Tim McGraw those are the men I like. Bonjovi Ohhhhh Kid rock and Hank Williams in one of those small unplug concerts I pay $300.00 Then again I do not have that expensive cigar habit.

Just ordered my tickets this morning, and I have to say that Ticketmaster is the most evil, rotten motherfuckers I've ever dealt with...they're like the used car salesmen of the entertainment industry.

2 tickets.....$98 each

"convenience charge".....$17.50 X 2 ???? WTF is a "convenience charge"??? It's certainly not convenient for my wallet. I figured it was just a fancy way to say "processing charge."

But wait a minute....the next line says-- "Processing charge" $4.60. Holy fucking shit! Are you kidding me?

But hey, I did get free "standard mail" shipping for my tickets. I could have chosen UPS 3-day select shipping to get the tickets, but that would have been $17.60!

Absolutely fucking ridiculous. $235 for 2 tickets to the Rolling Stones. For that kind of money, Mick should be tying me off while Keith gets the needle ready.

On the other hand, I called my dad and let him know that he was going to see the Rolling Stones, and I'm pretty sure it made his year.

lol, good job on the tickets.

The stones are playing here in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada for the first time ever!

Tickets sold out in under 5 minutes (all 20some odd thousand of them). So they decided to make a weekend out of it and play 2 shows.

I remember when the local rock station announced the tour and they were so excited that they were doing stops in "smaller venues" like Regina. Motley Crue had to do the same thing a few years back, they played here 3 times that year I think.

I saw Toby Keith live for free back when I worked at the arena in town. I was in one of the concession booths close to the stage. Met him backstage after. Cool guy. I listen to country pretty sparsely, but he puts on a good show.
