Was wondering if anyone's received their Rome tickets yet? People seem to have received their tickets for the German shows and Austria.
Also, I've never been to Rome before. I have hotel provisionally booked near Termini station. Will that be easy to get back to after the concert?
It's a long walk in my eyes. You better take the metro (blue line (linea B ), from Termini to Circo Massimo, direction south-west: [www.stuardtclarkesrome.com]). Anyway, Rome is a fantastic city: you are being surprised at any corner of any street. I've been there twice, last time last summer. Most beautiful city I know, though I love Barcelona too and Amsterdam is hard to beat as well.
Thanks - that's really helpful! I'm still looking into finding somewhere closer to stay (easier for after the show) but at least I have somewhere provisionally booked.
Rome certainly looks beautiful in all the pictures I've seen of it! Although if it wasn't for the Stones, I'd go when it was less hot... I'm not that comfortable in the heat especially if I'm being active and walking around lots...I guess I'll be drinking lots of water!
End of June is not the hottest time in Rome. I was there end of June too and it was very agreeable weather, very low air humidity. They sell water everywhere there. And if you're too heated you can always Standing In The Shadow.
Not in average, but it could get pretty hot already by May. I was in Rome once around Easter and 2 out of 3 days were definitely hot. Its not a problem when you just walk in the street but one may remember that in a standing event people are packed together and the heat effect MAY make you feel its much hotter. Come to think of it... anyone who attended HP#2 knows what I'm talking about.
But in the evening it certainly will cool down rather soon, so don't scare our dear Martha.
Guys in the summer Rome is one of the hottest town of Italy, also due to the fact that it's not on the seaside.
I suggest you be prepared to a very warm day, just in case.

Ok, of course do what you feel will be best. I too hope that it's not going to be very hot, since I'm attending the concert as well. However, my piece of advice is not based on the internet, but on personal experience, since I live only two hours away from Rome and I know what the weather there is like. But I'm glad you experienced nice weather there last year!

Again, thank you everyone for weather advice. All advice is much appreciated.
I still haven't decided what to do! But I must decide soon as I have to book flights... Think I'll make a final decision once my tickets arrive but am leaning towards trying to trade them for a different show. I tend to find warm weather harder than most of my friends and family - so am a bit concerned.... Not overly worried about the concert since it will be in the evening, but this would be my first visit to Rome and I don't want to miss out on the sights because I'm too tired out from the heat. Would still love to visit Rome but perhaps might be better for me to go in early Spring or Autumn. I'll see...

Kleermaker - will do!
I really must decide soon - need to book flights...
Thinking I'll give it until the end of this week. And by then my tickets should have arrived (I hope!), which will give me the push to either sell/trade or book flights.

Go to Rome - its an amazing city!!!!!!! And the venue? In my opinion the best out of the 14 dates! Who can say they have seen The Rolling Stones in Circus Maximus?!? ;-)

I would say the same, if the Rolling Stones were still the great band they were many decades ago. But if you go to see them anyway, go to Rome and Circus Maximus.

Before people's expectaions start to build up too high, the "Circus Maximus" nowadays is just a grassy plain with a couple of ruins on one side. Don't expect nothing special from the concert venue in itself (a part from the historical relevance of the site).
I do not even think that it is an ideal location for a concert with this attendance, because the field is very narrow and long, so latecomers will be very far away from the stage.
Below is a pic of the party that was held there when Roma last won the Scudetto
The huge crowd was attracted to the venue with the then best and most sophisticated marketing strategies
I hope the Stones would do the same as they did with HTW in 81!

Circo Massimo is easily visible from the road and I'd imagine that anyone without a ticket could still get to hear the music. Probably there'll be crowds outside doing just that, unless they are somehow stopped from gathering.
