Charlie said he'd do ABB on the condition that it would be the absolute last time they undertook such a tour. Forget it. They may do isolated shows but otherwise, folks, the fat lady has sung. It's over.

If you look into history (well documented online on IORR.org for 13 years now) you will see that details and info about tours have been announced here on IORR long time before the actual press conference, where a tour is announced officially.

A tour plan is a complex matter. They have had plans for touring Asia on it's own many times. These plans have been rejected because of various reasons like visa permits, garantees from promoters and so on. When they book venues I do usually know, but these bookings are subject to change. Everything was ready to play in Sendai Japan even ticket price but then they could not get the logistics right so they put it off. UK changed the tax law in the middle of a tour so whatr was planned was then changed to the next year.

A Stones tour is a complex thing that involves many decitions and points of return. At this stage I am sure they will tour Asia, and many other places as mentioned here, like Venezuela, israel, Seoul etc. They have already been in Athens, Istanbul and Chile, but Chile again, Buenos Aires again for sure, and a whole tour in Asia. That is on the drawing board. Then they need all four properly insured (otherwise no tour) and so on. Many many items for Michael Cohl to sort out...

[bv you seems to have a "little" more informations.
It is true that a Stones tour is a very very complex thing.
You believe that if there will be a tour ,it will be only in south america and asia;

Israel - just as possible as Kabul, Moghadishu, Kinshasa, Darfur (Sudan)... Yeah - what a tour! I might not go.
But if they stick to what I've heard, i'm definitely going.

Perhaps the Stones should just set-up shop in Las Vegas and have everyone come to them (kind of like Celine Dion). Seems more appropriate given the state of their latest shows.

sorry if i'm being rude
here on ioor we often have much ado about "OT" topics and BV politics on them
i am asking BV if we can have a sort of similar rule on "next tour rumours" posts that, imho, if not supported with ANY kind of info about sources, are most annoying and themselves sources of possible misleading information

Good health is one thing. Being able to actually play is another. Keith Richards, God, or whatever deity you care to worship, bless him, but he can't play at all well anymore and Ronnie's playing hasn't been much better. If they tour I wish them well, but I won't be going.

raises the question that's in the back of many of our heads - would the stones hit the road and charge their nomral exhorbitant rates to see them knowing they are putting out "damaged goods?" it's likely they've done that to some degree for the past coupla/three tours already. but, it's difficult to imagine that keith and mick don't realize fully well at this point that they can't cut it at the level suggested by the pricetag. personally, it would be gratifying for them to call it quits and acknowledge the reality of the situation, either tacitly or directly...

er, no.

It varied from one region to the next. Top price in the UK was £150. Which was about $250 - $270 at the time.

Ticket prices are higher in the US for two reasons only

1) higher average income and
2) enough people are stupid enough to pay it.

I heard Jimmy Page is working on a new song for Stones fans who like to talk about another rumoured Stones tour - in the midst of ZERO signs pointing towards one other than Keith rambling off some usual tripe - with zero official knowledge - called Whole Lotta Nothin'. Should be a hit.

The most possible thing is the band to give only 2 shows per week and not many shows in the same country.Not 5 or 6 shows in Germany ,or 4 -5 shows in spain etc. like BB.
