Being a bit proactive here, I decided to ask a few pertinent questions to the awe-inspiring oracle that is Rollingstones.com Customer Services:

My Questions (submitted on 10 May):

Just looked for my sent mail to cut and paste and Yahoo did not save the sent message WEIRD, as it saved all the other ones that it recently sent!!!

The general gist of my Qs was:

a) If someone buys a Dollar Platinum Membership now, will it allow me to be
eligible for the as yet unannounced European Presales?

b) Will an International Platinum Membership option be introduced as per the
LICKS Tour and if so when?

c) When will the European shows be announced?

Greetings,


Hi David,
Please stay tuned to the site for more information about the European leg of
the tour. When those dates are announced, we'll provide you with details about
how to purchase presale tickets.
