The Stone Roses are reportedly set for £8.25 million in gate receipts from their two Manchester shows.
The group, who announced their reunion this week, will be playing at Heaton Park on Friday and Saturday June 29 and 30 next year before touring the world.
News of the £55 ticket price has had a mixed response from fans, according to The Daily Mirror.
The band members had long dismissed talk of ever getting back together after falling apart in 1996.
Guitarist John Squire said he and singer Ian Brown had met again at the funeral of bass player Gary 'Mani' Mounfield's mother.
"When me and Ian met by chance it changed everything. In some ways it felt like 15 years ago was yesterday," he said.
Brown said: "Our plan is to take on the world."
