Any one with any idea what the hold up is here? Prices at the Marina Bay Sands are high and they are requesting full non refundable payment on March 15 and 16 at one site, so I take it that they know what is going on those nights. But I am juggling this with Perth and other shows and hate to shell out airfare hotel for nothing. Everyone that talks to me says "yes," but I wonder why there is the delay.

That is pretty ridiculous pauly, Singapore, while not like the rest of Asia, actually is a pretty great place to visit. I lived there for nine years, and there is a heck of a lot to do. The problem though is that prices have gone up very much, and it isn't cheap.
First, the food. Singaporeans love to eat good food and subsequently there are tons of great eating options through out the country.
Some fantastic sites to see such as the Night Safari, museums, and different parts of the city with ethnic differences. Little India, Chinatown, and Malaysian food courts.
I saw the Stones there twice in 2004 and thought they were two of the best shows I have seen by them. Great sound.
Singapore will be a great destination for the tour... I wish I could go!

Well I took the chance and booked a room for the 15th and 16th. I figure I have the time off, the Marina Bay Sands is always something I have wanted to see since I watched a documentary of it being built, and the hotel is filling up Better to loose the deposit than being caught short I guess.

I stayed at the Marina Bay Sands when it first opened. Prices were reasonable back then. Of course, everyone was excited about the sky high pool. But, I went on a small run in the Casino in the evening and ended up playing all night. In the morning, I had lost all my early winnings and To this day, I've never even seen the pool.

Maybe you can try another tumbling dice at Macau.
I have never been to Las Vegas, but Venetian Macau will be the largest casino in Asia.
I stayed at Marina Bay Sands in 2012 for F1 Grand Prix.
I got small win at casino, attended Noel Gallagher's concert and race in the evening was amazing.
It was perfect day.

The Singapore 2003 shows were special, because the city was fighting SARS. There were death and full hospitals and a nightmare health wise, the Stones flew out of Singapore and had to cancel the next shows in Hong Kong. Hopefully this time around will be a nice ande relaxed event without any worries.

I love to gamble, but I'm not good at quitting while I'm ahead, so I need to stay out of the casinos. * * * sigh * * *

Although Sing is not confirmed until it goes live on Stones' tour/ticketing page, I can provide the following info: The best & newest sound system in the world is being flown from Berkeley/SFO California to Marina Bay Sands Resort ahead of the Mar. 15 (rumoured) date. Unless current plans are scrapped, I would assume the show should be announced sometime soon in order that the venue/promoter might have time to sell out the approx. 11k cap. Sands Grand Ballroom. Show date is only 5 weeks out and Sing show would be competing w/Macau, Dubai and possibly any additional so far unannounced Asia Pac dates. Hope this helps w/folks' travel plans.
