not really a struggle to fill - it was a struggle to get tickets

Guess the Great Recession didn't effect your wallet huh?

It is very sad to see U2 playing 8 nights at MSG and the Stones would have a tough time selling out 2. NYC was, indeed, the #1 Stones town from 69-2003, but things have changed.

There's some news today on Brazilian press claiming that the SA Tour will be postponed - again. I'm not sure how reliable that info is, but perhaps (my guess, only) it has something to do with the Pearl Jam concerts here which will happen almost at the same time, so that would be a problem regarding the ticket sales.

I doubt the Pearl Jam shows have much to do with it, but maybe. My guess is it just take more time to grease all the palms necessary to make a SA tour happen. I love SA but business down there is a whole different ball game than business in NA. Corruption and pay offs are generally par for the course and an accepted part of doing business. Mexico is worse of course but SA isn't immune.

That just simply proves that boring people out number the cool of this planet

What a treat for eveyone who actually went to shows.
And another thing I will always remember THE STONES 2015 ZIP CODE TOUR was for popping my periscope cherry, all the shows I could not attend, I still got to enjoy hearing them live.

I'm not sure if brstonesfan has an agenda or not, but many of his posts dealing with ticket sales seem to have no actual support. The Stones in 2012 sold out three shows in the New York area, capacity 13,500 or so per show. Each show grossed over $7 million, with an average ticket price exceeding $500. my guess is that the U2 shows in New York will gross around $3 million per show, although with the drastic reduction in ticket prices for 6 of the 8 shows, the final tally might be south of that. Translated, the Stones will probably end up having grossed nearly as much for their three NY area shows as U2 will from its eight shows in 2015. I don't think that's a good thing and don't think it matters frankly, but just in case anyone is interested.
I would add that personally, I didn't like those 2012 shows. An elitist feel to the proceedings, dotted with celebrities, investment bankers and older Stones fans attending solo because prices were too high to take the wife or kids. I much prefer to see the band in a larger venue with lower ticket prices, so younger fans and families can attend - I was at Minneapolis and I thought that the atmosphere was electric, and a great show to boot.
