Seems like the Stones are ignoring the UK again, after they did a huge European tour in 2014 plus Japan, the Gulf, Australia and New Zealand. Try waiting until possibly 2016 to see them again, if at all, then you might have something to be frustrated and impatient about.The huge ticket prices plus travel costs and accommodation will be prohibitive for most UK fans to get to the USA to see them. Commercial considerations aside, they owe the country of their birth a big UK tour, in my humble opinion, including Hyde Park as a finale to their illustrious career.
Last year's European tour was hardly "huge" - just 13 dates + Israel. UK fans could have flown shorthaul on a budget airline to any of them, just as long-suffering central European fans would have had to. And now many people in North America face a similar issue.
We have been warned time and time again on IORR that the Stones will not necessarily come to us, that we must go to them, and time is running out.
The Stones do not owe us anything. We owe it to ourselves to see them (subject to outrageous ticket pricing).

While waiting for Buffalo to go on sale, what shows have other people purchased?Ithink so far I purchased Madonna and Shania Twain. Outside from us here, is it possible they will lose out to the casual fan who has committed summer budget to country acts, ampitheatre shows etc.....
The Who, Rush, Jimmy Buffett.

U2 - x2 in LA, the same week Stone should be in San Diego.
End of July - AC/DC in Glasgow; Who in Hyde Park (don't have tix yet, but pretty sure I'll be going)
After it's over - in September, 3 shows looking forward to - Social Distortion, AC/DC (again) and Foo Fighters in LA.

Our US/CA 2013 tour was only 18 dates. This is the new normal for Stones fans. We had to fly from NC to Boston. Buy, fly or drive it's always worth the trip.

the later they go in putting tickets on sale i'm guessing "exclusive" deals like Amex pre-sales may go out the window. they sell tickets in limited blocks nowadays and may have to have a more open pre-sale to create the "sell-outs" that took place in 2013.
plus, outside of some very exclusive real estate in a stadium average ticket prices may be $120, with the stadium priced the way bridges was.

The Rolling Stones are still the event of the summer, imo. Forget U2 or Van Halen. Those two wouldn't even be playing if the Stones had not paved the way.
I think people understand that this may be the last time and even some of the original fans will make time to see them. People who have never seen them play will be going just to say they saw The Rolling Stones (and have the T-shirt to prove it). A solid three generations of fans and no major market competition...this is a well planned tour for them and we'll see sold out or nearly so shows at every stop. The ticket pricing will be reasonable enough to guarantee it. They don't need a new hit record to sell seats, that's been proven plenty. The SF deluxe release is just insurance, lots of parents will get excited over it and bring their spouses AND kids to the shows.
peace

Aren't those huge speedway / horse racing venues normally all day events with 5 or 6 bands?
I would pay extra not to stand out all day in the hot sun through a bunch of bands I don't care about!

The Rolling Stones Tour 2015 is not going to sell very well at all. BIG mistake. The U.S. doesn't really support vintage acts like Europe does.
U2 is The Biggest Rock 'N Roll Band In The World now. Sadly.
