Ahhh...for the good ol' days...

[HombreSecreto]

Wow! Now that’s $5 well spent!

[rstrahan]

WE have hit our limit on concert tickets. Have checked out on a bunch since they jumped well over $100 a ticket. Just not worth it.

[NorthMountain]

That’s $22.92 today.

Not $150, much less $500.

I saw KISS in 1975!...................

[Jim from C-Town]

Ha Ha I can remember in the early eighties that it wa $8 to sit on the lawn at Blossom Music Center and $10-$12 to sit in most areas in the pavilion.

I still have all my concert ticket stubs from the early 1970s. We would see our shows at the now gone Spectrum in Philly. I saw Dave Mason,Chambers Brothers and Roy Buchanan for 6 bucks. Also Bad Co.,Bedlam and Uriah Heep for 6 bucks too. Those were the days.

I was at this concert in Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis in 1969. Check out the opening act!

My summer jobs paid $1.65/hour, the minimum wage. I could go to top act shows for,two hours of minimum wage teen jobs! Good old days, indeed. Today, a min wage job would take about 10 hours to buy a TS ticket. (Does TS stand for Tough Sh!t"?)

KSHE was the "underground" FM station in St. Louis -- no commercials at all. That was so sweet.

[ifinnegan]

You’d have to pay me $500 to go see those groups.

Lol, I saw KISS with my parents and STYX was the opener. I didn’t even know RUSH existed back then. Years later I got hooked on the sound of that Jetglo Rickenbacker 4001!

[Larry Lucido]

$6.00? I think that was the monthly car payment on my folks’ 1974 Honda Civic. (I may be off one decimal, but still....)

[Big Red Clay]

The ticket for my first concert, Kiss with Uriah Heep in February of 1977 was a whopping $7.50. A little bit of inflation from 1975 with two better bands as the openers for the ‘75 show. I think I paid about 125.00 per for Rush a couple of years ago on the R40 tour.

[henkster]

I still have my ticket stub for The Who at Rupp Arena in 1980.

$12.50.

My first concert. Van Halen for $7.50. Riot seating

[Captain Peter Blood]

Yeah the good ole days. 45 years ago you could go see anyone, including the Rolling Stones, and the ticket prices were never more than $10 to $15 bucks, if that. Money was made in selling records more so than touring. You toured to sell records, not so much that formula any more given the record business today.
