It took 12 hours to get from Macau to Shanghai total travel time, even if it is just 3 hours net flying, but bus, ferry, changing flights and taxi etc takes time.
Arriving at Shanghai airport I was offered taxi by "official" people in uniform. It was 500 Yuan and I said I wanted to take the airport train Maglev. They said it was wrong direction and waste of money. Well I wanted to take it, great experience. At 50 Yuan only, it took some 7 minutes and speed 300 km/h, then hordes of un-licenced taxi offers, but I went for the official metered stand, it took some 20 minutes and cost some 35 Yan. So if an offer is very good then don't trust it, I saved 400+ by taking care of myself and not taking the first and not so good offer.
Shanghai is great they say, but beware of those who want a part of your money. And the Maglev is highly recommended, simply because it is so unique.

No private show...there will be two of us.
Seriously, tho, have they ever cancelled a show because tickets didn't sell?
Lots of times since 1990. Mostly in Europe. In some cases, theyve announced it was for 'logistical' reasons though to save face. Other times when shows had to be rearranged due to illness, they pulled slower selling dates to make room for them.

They're playing Stones music in the breakfast room in my hotel on Nanjing Rd. How cool is that after this fantastic Shanghai night!

Please stop spreading rumours about a possible cancellation. The Stones are in town, the stage is set up, everything is fine.

It was NOT a rumour. It was speculation. The word 'rumour' never even accord to me until you mentioned it. ><
