RE: Date yourself: Your first concert?

I thought this thread mentioned how affordable tickets were back in the day but I must be thinking of another one. Either way concerts in the mid to late 70s were usually four to seven dollars for ticket. Making slightly more than minimum wage I could pretty much go to any show I wanted. When David Bowie tickets were $10 at the Michigan Palace nobody could believe it. 10 bucks that's nuts! Now I see the Rolling Stones are coming to Ford Field in Detroit, on November 15th. Tickets seem to go between $200 and $600 at Ticketmaster. Prices include $33 per ticket fee. Even with inflation just the Ticketmaster fee is about what we used to pay for a ticket. And my humble opinion is that the shows back then would blow away the shows of today
