The last paragraph gives me hope for a 50th tour

But first, there's the 50th anniversary. Richards, Wood and drummer Charlie Watts are scheduled to gather later this month in London to rehearse for the first time in three years, a clear signal that the Stones are ramping up in some fashion.

"The Stones still work," said Richards. "I know [the prospect of a tour] it's an all important point but there's nothing more I'm going to say about that. But the Stones will pull it together. It always comes easy once you get the bunch of guys together. It's the getting the guys together that's the hard part."


From the link above. I'm not sure of a full tour as we've come to know it. But they will do something special for the 50th.

why would they rehearse for nothing?

Sure sounds like it, I'd have to agree. These are nice things to be reading about them these days, nice noises to be hearing from them .... put it how you like. Something'll break sooner or later, it'll be fascinating to see what it is.

maybe a PPV event with current and past members? not out of the question

For a one-off that would be the only way to satisfy the masses and maximize the profits

hey stones camp if you are reading this and i know that you are , please consider this very seriously

If they want the biggest viewing audience for a show like this i'd recomend that they'd put it on HBO /Showtime and not PPV.
