Frontier posted on Facebook 4 hours ago #soon #getwhatyouneed and a link to the Rolling Stones Australia and NZ tour page.

I'm guessing it will be the same process as two weeks ago- announcement Wednesday, pre sales Thursday and general on sale Monday- the morning after the 60 mins special.

The big question is will tickets to the arena shows be as expensive as this years USA tour?

On Twitter: "The Rolling Stones are about to announce an exciting good news, pay close attention!"

Probably not- you should register with frontier touring (aus and nz shows) and following stones on Facebook and twitter...

Don't you have own ticketing system in China like Japan?

Stones' hanging rock'n'roll

THE Rolling Stones will take their rock 'n' roll juggernaut to Hanging Rock in Victoria's Macedon Ranges next March.

Following their announcement of a show at Adelaide Oval on March 22, the world's most enduringly successful rock band have released plans for an Australian tour that will take them to Hanging Rock and to Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Auckland.

Promoter Michael Gudinski revealed that the band, which was here last in 2006 on the Bigger Bang tour, would be playing material such as Gimme Shelter, Jumping Jack Flash and Tumbling Dice as well as a few covers.

This will be the Stones' seventh tour of Australia. Dates (excluding Adelaide) are Perth Arena March 19, Sydney Allphones Arena March 25, Melbourne Rod Laver Arena March 28, Hanging Rock, Victoria March 30, Brisbane Enteretainment Centre April 2 and Auckland Mt Smart Stadium April 5.

Pre sale tickets available Monday December 9 and Tuesday December 10. Official on sale tickets 9am local times December 16.

Thanks for the info. That looks like the official confirmation can't be too many hours away.

Let's hope the far east shows will be great and we will hear soon about European summer shows!

This would make sense, still somebody's gonna have trouble releasing news prior to the the rs.com site

Well... In Chinese mainland Facebook and Twitter is blocked. So it would be pretty unfair to have pre-sale via those social networks. They have their own Twitter called Weibo.

Not that many international artists, bands come through mainland China. Beijing gets 10-15 acts per year, not necessarily big names. The great Justin Bieber played Beijing not long ago. Suede/Brett Anderson keeps coming back. The Killers and Pil were here this year. (Public Image Ltd with John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten had 400 people in a small club.) Sir Elton John was in Beijing too. Herbie Hanckock. That was it this year in Beijing.

Shanghai gets more shows. (Metallica played Shanghai a few months back.) Beijing is the capital where the government works, so it's considered more sensitive.

The main reason why we do not get many international acts is very simple: Chinese people have no interests in let's say Robert Plant or John Fogerty. For example, Live Nations who are here in China can't risk bringing a band like Rival Sons or Kings of Leon here. The only acts that sell are the ones that are the most hip, the coolest outside of China. For example, Lady Gaga, Rhianna would be a sell out or any Korean boy-band or Jackie Chen (yes, he also sings). Chinese are "dedicated followers of fashion".

Bob Dylan played Beijing a couple of years ago in a smaller venue which holds about 5000 people. It wasn't fully sold out. Chinese had no music scene until the early 1990's. Most of them have no idea what Woodstock is or was. Not because they are uneducated or ignorant. They are just not interested, can't connect with the past when it comes to music.

As far as I know there is no unified ticketing system. There are sites which sell tickets. Like [en.damai.cn] I asked them if they knew anything about The Stones and they said: "We haven't got any news of this project." For Dylan I bought my ticket there. So I'm really wondering how it's gonna go down this time. It would be unfair if people in China wouldn't be given priority. In 2006 90% of the audience were foreigners... Oh, and Chinese wouldn't pay more than $50 for a ticket...

Any info on when the other far east dates will be announced?

No I just aware of macau

According to the app the Tour is called "14 On Fire".

Let's hope there will be some single or release backing it up.

Yeah 14 on fire. 14 shows maybe???? They've announced 7 in Aus/NZ. Maybe a cpl more slots. Then 1 in Macau for sure. China, Japan, UAE.

I reckon tour will top out at 14 shows....14 on Fire

would make sense
1 UAE, 3 JApan, 1 China, 1 Singapore, 1 Macau, 6 Aussie, 1 NZ. = 14
I am just surprised that they don't do more double shows.

Makes sense but also the year has to be considered. Let's hope there will be more shows than just 14.

Yeah! Mt Smart Stadium!

"14 On Fire": Maybe just because it's 2014?

EDIT: Obviously no space for second shows!

what a bunch of nonsense about not coming to the united states because they already came here .pure crap .the good ole USA has proven time after time that Americans vote with there wallets .so bring on the stones again because it's only rock and roll and we will pay to see our beloved stones again and again.

Actually, what is pure crap is the apparent belief that there is no world that matters outside of the United States, and that the Rolling Stones seemingly should exhibit no interest in discovering that world, let alone playing gigs in it.

For heavens sake, to date on the 50th & Counting tour the USA has had the benefit of 3 arena shows in 2012, 18 arena shows in 2013, whereas by comparison the rest of the world is represented by 2 arena shows in England in 2012, and then three open air shows in 2013.

And as for Americans voting with their wallets, now that is truly a bunch of crap. This is the country in which the Stones had to "drop" a bunch of $85 seats at the last minute for pretty much every single arena show, because these same Americans that supposedly vote with their wallets were refusing en-masse to cough up silly money for seats, and keeping afore-mentioned firmly in their pockets.

Get a grip, get real ..............

Pauywaul Great Great post, Those USA people are out of their brain, well they ait got none, thats true.
Thats the problem, buta anyway Great great post .
Thanks

One of the reasons why I don't go to forums so often is because of discussions like this. It has nothing to do with The Stones. I'm not American, but I don't feel that anybody can decide whether Americans have brain or don't have brain. It's non-sense. It's also pointless to bring up the topic of The Stones going to the US again. Who cares? I'm sure The Stones will go back to the US if they can. This thread is about USEFUL info about the upcoming Asia/Australia tour trying to help fans. I've read all 8 pages here and there is so much rubbish, useless comments, which do not help fans at all. I'm surprised that here so far nobody started talking about which is the best Taylor solo ever.

Well, I am American and I can confidently tell you, we do not have brains.

Well I'm not so sure about that. Someone somewhere must have had some brains back in the late sixties .... you managed to get that rocket up onto the moon ! How'd you manage that then ........ unless it was an accident, it was actually just supposed to go from Cape Canaveral to Philadelphia, but someone put too much fuel in it and it ended up on the moon ?
