They are unfortunately not the most convenient places to fly to from Europe, so not sure. Would sell my soul to be at Red Rocks!><

I attended Oslo, Landgraaf, Berlin, Werchter & Stockholm last summer. Been looking forward to couple of shows in the US since i´ve never seen them there but these cities sucks for us europeans. If they don´t even play L.A. i don´t now if i will fly over? Can´t imagine tickets being hard to score for these secondary market cities with stadiums holding 60-70 000. It´s all about the money but these cities are a big disapointment. Why do they not play MSG? Don´t know if it will be worth the money to fly to Columbus or Minneapolis to hear them play the same old setlist again? I doubt they will play the entire Sticky Fingers and if they do, why do it in big stadiums???

I was in Berlin, Waldbühne and Circo Massimo...not bad either...but indeed Red Rocks looks like the most beautiful venue...although I read somewhere that Denver is out?

They have Mick Taylor available and they are choosing to not use him? Boring. I won't be attending this time. But for all of you about to experience your 7,256th live version of Jumpin' Jack Flash, enjoy.

Yeah I was in Berlin and the venue was stunning and in a great easy to reach city, wich made for a wonderful break. If I was going to a show in the US I Would have liked to have made a holiday out of it as well but with these locations it is a bit difficult. A friend who lives in NY suggested that it is dangerous for a woman to travel alone on the Greyhound.

If I were going to travel for a show on this tour,I would pick either San Diego or Orlando.
San Diego has a near Hawaii-like climate.
Orlando also has a warm climate with many tourist attractions. It is in central Florida but within reasonable driving distance of / to both coasts .... for other stuff to do.

There will probably be a lot of empty seats for these shows. Can´t possibly see them selling out these stadiums in these cities. As i remember it they didn´t even sell out all venues in the US back in 2013 and that was mostly arenas.

Roadblock for The Rolling Stones to perform in Las Vegas
By Robin Leach
Monday, Feb. 16, 2015 | 5:04 p.m.
Those mid-June plans for a Rolling Stones concert in Las Vegas have hit a roadblock, and I’m told that unless the group changes its mind, the music legends won’t be appearing here.
Originally the British rockers led by Mick Jagger had planned to include Las Vegas as a U.S. “14 On Fire Tour” stop in their current world tour.
The date of June 13 was penciled in at the 16,800-seat MGM Grand Garden Arena, but it turns out that bookings as far away as Europe and Australia have been juggernaut sellouts — in stadiums.
So promoters and management have apparently decided that the group will only play stadiums, not concert halls or arenas.
Even though we have 40,000 seats at Sam Boyd Stadium with room for thousands more standing on the field (remember The Grateful Dead had 125,533 fans there for its final show in 1995), it appears for now that Las Vegas is in jeopardy and struck from The Stones’ current concert plans.
[lasvegassun.com]
So, we never did get any kind of info re. why Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, NV can't be considered as a possibility for this 2015 summer tour. Even though it's capacity would meet the Stones' requirement for stadiums only this summer. By the way, The Las Vegas Sun, quoted above, is a supplement to the legitimate newspaper for the Vegas area, The Las Vegas Review-Journal. It's not some lying trashy blog like the one we experienced for a while a few months ago which gave us very misleading info re. the Rock-In Rio USA festival May 8-9th of this year.I live in Las Vegas but will gladly go to San Diego if I can possibly score good seats. But of course, if they make a STADIUM stop here I won't need to travel.
I hope so as I have been trying to make it pending annual leave and personal budget but it looks difficult. We will seeQuote

I am afraid this tour is strictly aiming at US/Canada based fans.
It's tempting to fly to the States for a show if it's taking place in NYC, LA or Miami, not in the outskirts of Buffalo!
I believe they are going to do a Sticky Fingers themed show in Europe later on as well. It's such a big thing, that they will probably want to bring it over to London (at least).

You seem to be in a bad mood and have thus lost your memory ? ;-) The 2013 US Tour was an ARENA tour on the back of the 5 crazy 2012 "50th" where everyone was so happy to have them back that they could charge pretty much anything they wanted...didn't work so well in the US. In 2014 European prices were MUCH more reasonable last year, if you look at stadiums, Paris (~70,000) was €110 FOS for instance (near impossible to get as a result) and best seats were €150.
