That's around 80 € for a ticket. Not much if you look at last years ticket prices.
Looks like they plan very much outdoor and stadium concerts for Europe.
BV, isn't it time to add Europe to your 2014 tour site?

Regarding Israel:
I remember talking to the a tour security representatitive about Israel shows (among other things) during the ABB tour and the guy said that they just could not ensure security in a place like Tel Aviv. So that may have played part in the past decisions not to go there.

(In Russia, on the other hand, show security was "all about payoffs" to the mafia. Who knows. But a security guard, right up there in the tour organisation, told me this.)
People that have waited outside Stones' hotels etc. will know who I am talking about. There has been a thread about him on this forum before.

I too personally believe that the business side of things the most important issue. I was just quoting what I was told.
I hope Israel finally gets a Stones show - long overdue! =)

Early Jan 1978 Finland's biggest daily news paper ran an editorial about the dangers of letting the Sex Pistols play concerts in Finland. Nine different youth organisations also petioned the finnish Home Office, asking them not to grant the band work permitts. After additional political pressure the Home Office agreed with the anti-Sex Pistols campaigners. When the band heard about this they offered to play Helsinki for free, which would mean that no work permits would be needed. As a result the Home Office made the decision to ban the four members of the band from entering the country by declaring them ''unwanted visitors''. This part of Finnish law had been reserved for known terrorists and members of organised crime syndicates up till then. It was the first, and probably the last, time it was used to stop a music concert.

Those 1965 claims remind me of a cancelled Sex Pistols show in Finland in 1978(source: [www.acc.umu.se])Quote

the promoter mentioned in the Israel news Marcel Avram is the same guy who organized the Stones show from A Bigger Bang tour in Bucharest. Maybe he'll come back with a statement

I just found out that Avram was born inj Bucharest in 1938, so maybe bringing
them to his hometown was a matter of the heart.
