I'm not French but I speak and read French quite well - nothing new. 15 conerts postponed, starting with Barcalona, ending with Zagreb.

Thanks for the info folks.

Yeah, just keep your tickeets until new shows are rescheduled and if the new dates don't suit ya just ask for a refund.

This is what I got, in French and in English:

I recived that mail as well, but wanted to have the french text confirmed as both shows were said to be cancelled and not postponed.

> The Tour will now kick off on Saturday 8 July at a
> venue and city to be announced.

This date of 8th of July seems to me improbable.

There are gigs already planned for the 10th, 12th, 14th & 16th of July and the Stones haven't played yet 5 concerts in 9 days during the Bigger Bang Tour...

They did 2 or 3 times successions of 4 concerts in 7 days but not more.
I don't see that happening especially with a recovering Keef.

The fact that July 8 is the starting date doesn't mean that the rest of the shows are going to go forward as planned. In fact, I would expect that when they do finally release a new schedule, more than the original 15 shows will have been moved around, cancelled, or postponed.

Yes, I guess mostly of the shows should be re-schedule

Why reschedule and/or postpone sold out shows if they are able to play? There's no point to create an even bigger mess.

What´s mean??

> What´s mean??

As soon as eventual new dates are given by producer TNA/CPI, the Stade de France will keep the ticketholders informed

great page to save to favorites

its a translation page , works great

I asked this before, but can't remember the answer.

Does Keith speak/read French? If so, is he fairly fluent?

I wonder what languages besides English Marlon and Dandelion speak since Anita speaks several languages. Angela grew up with Keith's mom, so she may not have had as much opportunity to learn the way Marlon did.

Stade de France says to return tickets now to ticketnet for refund and ticketnet says to hold on to them.

For sure my son from California won't be going to a rescheduled show as he is only in Paris the beginning of June.

Has anyone spoken to ticketnet on the phone to clarify what to do if you know now that you can't use the tickets for any other date?

At this point he will take the tickets with him and call ticketnet when he is in Paris, but if anyone already has the answer it would be a great help.

Thanks you.

About french tickets, the deadline for a refund is/was one month from yesterday. So, no emergency.
Ticketnet now says that people who are ok for a reschedule have to keep their tickets, it is different from the previous SDF policy, which has been removed from the website. It looks like a big mess, so i suggest everybody to wait a few days and see what happens.

For foreign people who will be in Paris next week, i suggest you to ask for informations directly at ticketnet or francebillet box offices in Paris.

ticketnet box office are virgin stores, click on withdrawal points [www.ticketnet.fr]

francebillet box office are FNAC stores[www.francebillet.com]

I doubt you will be able to get a refund directly at box offices if you purchases your tixs through internet, but probably they will be able to help you, to give you information, to take your refund request. And if they can't, it will me more secure to send it by mail from France.

Be ready for queuing, you won't be the only one..

I hope they won't give the new dates in more than one month !

After some back and forth, it is now cristal clear :

1) shows are postponed and not yet cancelled
2) New venue dates are looked at by Promoter together with Stade de France
3) These dates will be announced shortly
4) Till this announcement, you must keep your tickets.
