As this seems to be the smallest audience on tour and somewhat close to Hollywood Bowl or Waldbühne Berlin: Any advice how to score tix from good old Europe? Only Will Call possible?

the greatest rock and roll band in the world - definitely

you are right, Milwaukee will be the most interesting venue so far. If I have problems to buy tickets from Germany I will ask some local friends. I will go there anyway even without a ticket.

IORR............but I like it!

Apparently Stones are officially opening Summerfest now, says Summerfest on RS page, and now up on Summerfest's site, same date as bv said, June 23rd.

~"Love is Strong"~

Summerfest usually offers special ticket access/packages to its corporate sponsors and supporters. Don't know yet if RS tickets will be offered in this way.

Looks like tickets are on axs.com. Show is not currently listed on Ticketmaster. Looks like ticketing page on axs.com is pending. I hope it shows prices today. When I bought tickets for The Who in Vegas, I didn't see the prices until I was into the transaction

I don't see AMEX presale for this show or any shows on AXS, but there is pre-sale on TM for the shows they have listed.

The axs.com ticketing page hasn't fully loaded yet with all the information. It has been updated a little since this morning, but there is still more info to come.

I've seen the Stones 16 times, never once outdoors in a place built for music. I just want a lawn ticket!

Seating plan now available on TM [www.ticketmaster.com] :

IORR Links : Essential Studio Outtakes CDs : Audio - History of Rarest Outtakes : Audio

Any idea what Toby Keith is, front row perhaps

the greatest rock and roll band in the world - definitely

Thanks so much for posting that seating info/Ticketmaster. I thought for sure it was AXS, but now it looks like it might be TM.

I suspect the higher ticket price is tied to a SF admission for one additional day of the festival. I suspect quite a few people will be eating those extras, but they could catch a bit of SF on the next day before leaving town.

On jsonline.com:

"Pre-sales will be available to subscribers to Summerfest News email alerts, available to subscribe at summerfest.com, and information will be posted on the Big Gig's Facebook and Twitter pages. The pre-sale will run from 10 a.m. April 10 until 10 p.m. April 12, or until pre-sale inventory runs out. American Express card members can also purchase tickets early beginning April 8."

So there will be a presale for Amex-members???

Milwaukee is just ninety miles from the megalopolis of Chicago. SummerFest also draws from Madison, WI. and Rockford, IL. and will be an instant sell-out.

Good luck, my friend.

based on the seating this looks like the most interesting of the venues.

Congrats to Bob Babisch! Hope to be at the show! (only 10 miles form my house)

If anyone sees the "middle" price points between the low and high before I do, please post them here. That would really help with decision making for many of us, I am sure. I hate the notation on TM of "prices subject to change", so that doesn't help either.

Seating plan now available on TM [www.ticketmaster.com] :

Sections 1-8 are regular seats under cover. Sections 9-21 are bleacher seats NOT COVERED. Lawn is just a nice way of saying standing room.

25000 capacity includes the lawn so how many seats are actually in the venue who knows. Maybe a Milwaukee local does.

From this morning's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "Tickets for Stones concerts have been notoriously expensive, and the Marcus Amphitheater date is no different: from $94.40 to $421.95."

Back in '75, people were outraged over the notoriously expensive $10 tix for the County Stadium show

Actually, approximately the first 15 rows of the bleachers are covered.

Have been there often and I don't think the roof covers those bleacher seats at all. You can see that in the flyover video that was posted earlier.

That's a maybe as she has a few days off before the date and is in the Chicago area the next day following her Summerfest show. Now if we can get Keith or someone else to join her for her show on a smaller stage would be awesome.
