‘That’s a lot of money to hear B-DOW BAMP B-DAMP,’ joked one fan on the thread.
Added another social media user, ‘For a band like this should offer prices for kids aged under 18.
‘Or offer family packages. Great way to inspire young-lings to go with their parents to be educated in what a band is.’
Meanwhile, several fans shared their memories of their previous concert experiences – and the low prices associated with the band’s heyday.
‘I’ve got a ticket at home from the 90s that cost $30ish?’ recalled one longtime fan.
’50 bucks Razors Edge tour at Sydney Entertainment Centre November 1991,’ added another concert goer.
Fronted by Brian Johnson and guitar icon Angus Young, AC/DC will hit major cities including Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane.
Fans can start snapping up seats from June 26, with staggered release times via Ticketek and Ticketmaster.

AC/DC will kick off their Australian leg at Melbourne’s MCG on November 12, before heading to Sydney’s Accor Stadium on November 21.
From there, the legendary rockers will take the stage at the BP Adelaide 500 Grand Finale on November 30, before travelling to Perth’s Optus Stadium for a show on December 4.
They’ll wrap up the Aussie tour in style with a final stadium gig at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium on December 14.
Joining the band on all dates will be the raucous Aussie punk outfit Amyl and the Sniffers, who are set to supercharge the crowd before the main act hits the stage.
The Power Up Tour has already caused chaos overseas – with over two million tickets sold across Europe and North America, including ten sold-out shows in the US alone.
AC/DC were last rumoured to be announcing a world stadium tour, with Brian Johnson resuming his position on vocals, in 2020.
Brian’s hearing problems forced him to leave the band mid-tour in 2016.
He was temporarily replaced by Guns N’ Roses singer Axl Rose, who served as vocalist for the band’s remaining concerts.
Doctors had advised the frontman, 77, to either quit performing live or face the possibility of ‘total hearing loss’.

‘That was the darkest day of my professional life,’ Brian said of the diagnosis at the time.
AC/DC was formed in Sydney in November 1973 by brothers Malcolm and Angus Young.
Following the death of lead singer Bon Scott from acute alcoholic poisoning at the age of 33 in 1980, Brian was hired to replace him.
Rhythm guitarist Malcolm was diagnosed with dementia in 2014 and retired to a Sydney nursing home.
He died on November 18, 2017, at the age of 64.
