Posted on Tue, Jun. 11, 2002 From penny ante to 'gold circle' BY THOR CHRISTENSEN The Dallas Morning News KRT NEWSFEATURES (KRT) - In rock's infancy, concert tickets rarely broke the $10 mark - the Beatles charged a mere $5.50 for their 1964 Dallas show. But thanks to the rise in "gold circle" seats, tickets to big concerts regularly command triple-digit prices. Here's a look at how prices have skyrocketed in the last eight years: 1994: The reunited Eagles break the $100-per-seat barrier and introduce "gold circle seating" into the rock vocabulary. "We're like CEOs, and those guys always make a lot more than everyone else," explains Don Henley. 1997: Top tickets for Prince and Fleetwood Mac reach $125. "I think it's ridiculous and horrible we have to charge that much, but we do have to divide it by five people," says Stevie Nicks. 1999: The Rolling Stones crack the $300 mark for the best seats on the indoor arena leg of their Bridges to Babylon tour. 2000: Diana Ross & The Supremes charge fans up to $250 per ticket, but their reunion tour plays to half-empty arenas. 2001: Madonna lives up to the lyrics in "Material Girl" with a top price of $250; U2's best seats sell for $135. 2002: Paul McCartney's $250 top ticket price is eclipsed by the Rolling Stones' $350 seats. "Give them the problem," McCartney tells The Dallas Morning News. "Mick doesn't need the money, either." Thor Christensen © 2002, The Dallas Morning News.
