Maybe a single reunion in 2014 for a special event to celebrate the 40th anniversary of 'Waterloo'.
Like Pink Floyd had reunited in 2005 for the 'Live 8' benefit concerts.
In February 2000 ABBA had rejected a reunion, although there was an offer with 1 Billion US-$.

The amount of money they could make on a full on tour would make even Mick envious.

Agnetha Fältskog has hinted on a possibility for ABBA to reunite in 2014 for to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Waterloo song victory in European Song Contest in 1974, but on the other hand Benny Anderson has said that he is not aware of this, so it doesn't seem very likely to happen but I think it would be great, I'm a Stones fan but I have always liked the ABBA songs and especially the sound of the female vocalists. They have been offered a huge amount of money in the past for a tour but they have always refused and in the past I think it was Agnetha who especially didn't want this to happen...

They don't need any more money so they won't tour based on that.
However, they should do it for the fans, and donate all the cash to their favourite charities.
That would be so massively win-win and it would make Bono look greedy by comparison.

Waterloo, SOS, Take A Chance On Me, Money, Money, Money... Jesus, how many times have I heard these songs? They’re practically inescapable!

It's commonly known that the Stones are very greedy indeed, svt. They certainly are no philanthropists and don't pretend to be that as far as I know.

Discussing abba on a Rolling Stones board?
I should have written "huge popularity" because 380 mil. is a lot of sold records almost twice as much as the Rolling Stones and ABBA apparently doesn't tour.Quote

Why? They wrote and recorded catchy, melodious, feel-good pop music. Wonderful stuff.

2 guitarists were backing ABBA up in '79, and although they didn't feature on every song like the '79 Stones' guitar department, I must say I was more impressed during the Brussels '79 gig, my secret ABBA "Brussels affair". Listening to ABBA back in the day was "not done" according to many people, let alone going to one of their concerts. But the Stones' greediness, yes, you're probably right.

I always had a secret love for that blond female ABBA singer.

I didn't tell that to my girlfriend who wanted me to join going to ABBA, but frankly, I liked all the three of them.
