Best tickets for The Rolling Stones Australian tour 2014 $580

IF you want to count the lines on the Rolling Stones' faces at their March concerts it will cost $580. A view of their backs is just $99.

ROLLING Stones fans may have to toss up between that new iPad for Christmas or a ticket to their one-off concerts next March.

The top tier "tongue pit" spot at The Rolling Stones' concert at Allphones Arena in Homebush, Sydney, will cost $577.70 - plus booking fee, of course.

The Rolling Stones will offer a limited number of rear view seats at all shows, as Bruce Springsteen did on his March tour, for $99 via their website on December 16.

Perth fans will have to dip deeper into their pockets for the tongue pit at $580.45, with Melbourne and Brisbane around the same price.

Those premium tickets for the bigger open-air show in Adelaide are the cheapest at $510.

Some fans may baulk at the seated pricing with the lower levels setting you back $374.20 or $198.20 for the rafters at Allphones Arena.

The ticket prices for the five shows in arenas and outdoors at Hanging Rock are on par with those charged for their run of 50 & Counting shows in the US and UK this year.

While some commentators have hit out that the mid-level tickets will price lower income fans out of the shows, the ticketing also reflects the fact demand for the concerts will be extraordinarily high.

Most VIP or premium ticket packages, which can include a meet and greet with the artist, cost between $400 to $500 for major international artists including Justin Bieber.

But artists with much younger fans, including Taylor Swift and One Direction, tend to offer more tickets around $100 to $150 with the best seats at $250 to $300.

A Frontier Touring pre sale on Monday will indicate the level of demand with their allocation expected to be exhausted within minutes.

General tickets are on sale from December 16.
