I'd bet the operating cost per flight hour of the Concorde is considerably higher than a 747. As old as they are I bet they were maintenance pigs. I think they've had some other "issues" that aren't as widely known as well. I remember about 15-20 years ago reading they were having problems with part of the rudder coming apart in flight. It happened to three or four of them before they got a fix for it.
