The Eagles are to stage one of the most expensive rock concerts in Hong Kong, with the best seats for their October 20 show expected to go for up to $2,750.

Desperados, however, will still be able to experience life in the fast lane, with the cheaper seats in the Hong Kong Coliseum selling for $588.

The South China Morning Post has learned that the Eagles - Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy Schmit - will be in town for one night only as part of a tour through Southeast Asia and Australia.

In the world of rock, organisers of the Rolling Stones concerts that were cancelled due to Sars last year were seeking $2,888 for the best tickets.

When the Stones did finally play Hong Kong, as the finale act of the ill-fated Harbour Fest, the best tickets in the house were set at $1,988, prompting howls of protest from eager fans.
