Just alittle confused. There was a electric billboard posted in Hartford Ct and yet no tour date announced? Any ideas why this could have happened?

Wow I paid $175 in 2003 for the same seat that is now $600! :-((((

Too bad there was no option to buy stock in the RS.

I don't get it. Ticket Liquidator, one of the secondary market sellers, already has a bunch of tickets for sale for the California shows - including one pit ticket for over $10,000!! How the hell to they get to buy up so many tickets before they even go on sale? WTF! It's more than outrageous

Ticket Liquidator is one of the greatest stones fans in the world. Well-deserved.

Anyone seen a seating chart for Oakland?

Any word on the ticket limit for presales?

Speculative. Resellers don't actually have all of those tickets in hand. And listings can be vague, like "Sec 206, Row 1-18".
If someone orders tickets for a specific section, they'll try to obtain them (often from another reseller) and fulfill the order.

this all appears to be "one big mess" of a tour

WHAT TOUR ??????????

Someone posted the other day that he was a Chicago Blackhawks season ticket holder and had rights to buy his tickets for the concert. This is probably the same in all venues that have pro sports teams. So some of those season ticket holders may have already sold their tickets to ticket brokers.

So what is the price for the 1-2-3 areas that are in the front (orange/rust colored) - or is that the blood-letting color coinciding with the arms and legs you use to pay for those seats?

And what about the pre-sale? Are we screwed if we don't have a shiti-bank card?

Excluding VIP and other package deals, expect GA pit and floor seats to be $600.

Wouldn't fret too much about the pre-sale. The best seats aren't always offered, and quantities are limited.

Thanks, bye bye Johnny. I appreciate it & am now breathing a sigh of relief. Cheers!

I remember someone saying from last time that if you're lucky enough to get the GA/tongue pit seats that you can't leave the pit (for libation and/or latrine)...is that true??

Nonsense. You could come and go as you pleased - or at least that's how it was at the O2.

That's good to hear - thanks, Beast.

The bargain of the Summer has got to be anyone with a Glastonbury ticket for the whole festival.

About £250 I think.
If I was 30 years younger I would be there.

Not even the price of a half decent ticket for The Stones In U.S.A.

I would agree. However, lots of people I know are complaining about the Stones headlining and saying they'd rather The Killers etc. That said, if they give it a go, I know they'll love it.

As for Hyde Park - I'm paying £95 and getting there early to queue up and fight to the front. I'm hoping the lack of seats makes for a younger audience with more energy. This will also mean the Stones get a younger audience who haven't seen them before, which strengthens their legacy.

So who else is up for GA and a sprint to the front like the good old days?

Just need to work out which spirits to put in my soft drink bottle now.

I think 60 Minutes should do an investigative story on who posted "Coachella" on the Stones' app. "They're stonewalling."

Looks like Philly for me, it's a short train ride from DC. If they add Atlanta or NYC, I may try for those as well. If they make it to DC, then maybe cheap tickets for the whole family.

Really happy about seeing them again, with Mick Taylor too!

I think I am going to go ahead and book a hotel room now in Philadelphia, anyone know what is closest to the venue?


Hope to see some of you there!

If it were me I would stay center city Philly and catch the subway down to the show. Subway drops you off at The Wells Fargo Center its easy to use and only a few minute ride. The Holiday Inn although not a bad area certainly not a nice area. Everything in that area is very old and industrial with nothing to do. The stadium area is nice but that s it around there. At least in the city there are things to do while you are there. Xfinity Live would be a good spot for drinks ahead of the show. Its located right there surrounded by The Wells Fargo Center, Lincoln Financial Field and Citizens Bank Park

Take this advice! I've done it numerous times. Many nice hotels, restaurants, bars all over center city, a short subway ride straight up Broad St. Nothing nice near the stadium area. In fact, driving from NY (not staying), I've parked in lots up the subway line far cheaper than near the stadium and you can drive right out with no traffic

Thank you very much Rockyfan and fleabitmonkey, I copied this to the Philadelphia show planning thread.

I still can't believe they want people to pay $600 for seats at the back of a basketball arena, all to listen to Ron Wood shred on rhythm guitar. Not to mention Chuck Leavall tinkling on the Hammond.

there doing this all wrong!!!should of put together a new album,than start a tour in september.

I think I'll take in 3 shows - Oakland in May, a show in early June (assuming they announce one) and then Hyde Park in July. Then, that may very well be it for me. It's been a great ride.

Well, here's a new twist. It seems via this site, tickets are available to buy NOW (at a price, of course) for shows that have not even had a presale yet, let alone a public sale. WTF??

OK, I guess someone has to post this once a day.

Ticket sellers advertise for tickets they don't have yet. They take orders then they go out and get tickets to fulfill them.

It's not a new twist it has been going on forever.

You can order tickets from these brokers now but they don;t have them now because they are not on sale yet.

Hope to see you on the road!

Reading these posts I just had to make this comment. The tickets for Newark were expensive, a hassle to get, the brokers got many of the tickets and nothing was what I would call fair. However after all the bullshit we got our tickets went to the show and realized all we had to go through was well worth the effort. This is still the greatest rock and roll band in the world and that is why tickets are so hard to get!

If there is any doubt left in anyone's mind, this photo would seem to confirm that no more U.S. cities will be added.
