They may be one of the world's most successful rock bands, but fans of guitar-toting grandfathers the Rolling Stones can still grab tickets for their Saturday night concert.
The British rockers, who will stay at luxury Auckland hotel The Langham, are yet to sell out Mt Smart Stadium, which has
a capacity of 47,000.
Maria Robinson, of promoter Frontier Touring, said more than 35,000 tickets had been sold by yesterday, but she would not say how many were still up for grabs.
Tickets are currently on sale through Ticketmaster for between $165.55 and $395.55. A Stones lover who saw the band play live in 1973 at Western Springs - their opening number was Brown Sugar - said he paid just $4.90 for his ticket back then.
It's believed the band - Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood - will arrive in New Zealand tomorrow.
