The ticket websites don't seem to have an English version.

Nate

If you go to the concerts, you will find that a lot of the signs in Latin America are also not in English. You'll also find that the people don't all speak English either. Think of this as practice. I've even heard rumors than in Europe some of the signs in places like Germany and France are not in English either!

You assume I was complaining.

Nate

I was just saying that it shouldn't be a surprise, and that if you plan on going to the show, it's worth being prepared for encountering a lot of instances where there is no English translation available.

Larger version of the tour poster:

I don"t like the red star on the poster. I live in an Easatern European country (Hungary) and we suffered a lot from our communist regime! (maybe I am too sensible but that's how it is. So sorry BV!)

So far, looking at social media generally, most of the comments have been "Why ole? We're Latino/a, not Spanish," and "Why Latina? Some of us are Latino."

Then people start talking about the tour.

I am from Mexico and I think that Ole is an expression from Spain.

In Mexico we say OLE when a player is dribbled in soccer. Actually we say óle (with accent in the o) and not olé like the spanish people

ah yes, the devil is in the detail.

If I understand the meaning correctly, although it might sound "cool" to a non-Spanish speaker, to a Latin American it's kind of like the "Rolling Stone Woo! Tour" would sound to an english speaker ... kinda lame...

any Latin Americans want to weigh in?

That's exactly why I don't like the name!
But I'm sure there will be thousends and thousends of "olés" during the concerts, specially in Argentina and Uruguay but also in Chile Brazil, Mexico...

Only one show in Mexico City ?
March 14th is Monday but there will be huge demands as north american fans relatively easy to go.

Enjoy the tour everybody!!!!!

Today is a great day! It's like our favorite team has won the World Cup.
Hope to see all the friends on the road.

Let's see what happens, Quique! I'm planning to go to Montevideo and (of course) Porto Alegre, but it would be great to be back in Buenos Aires. Nos vemos pronto, si o si!

I want to go to Montevido since I am considering a move there. Figure I should visit first. My family does not believe me, but given the US economy and quality of life I am serious.

I believe it is used in the same context in Bra7il as well.

@celebs_pets

As a Librarian, I'd advise you to read a good book on the subject first.

Does anyone know how to access pre tickets for Bogota..web site is a bit confusing?

I found this chart for Mexico City:

Platino 1: MXN$10000 US$606
Platino 2: $7500 $455
Platino 3: $5800 $352
Platino 4: $4500 $273
Platino 5: $3000 $182
Verde A: $2200 $133
Naranj A: $1750 $106
Verde B: $1200 $73
Naranj B: $880 $53
Verde C: $450 $27
Naranj C: $320 $19
General Parados B: $980 $59

Platino is the field - 1: grey, 2: brown, 3: red, 4: yellow, 5: blue
Verde is the green - A: 1-8, B: 9-16, C: 17-24
Naranj is the orange- A: 1-8, B: 9-16, C: 17-30

Maybe General Parados B are Lucky Dips.



The seating chart image isn't posting - at least not on my iPad - here's the url:

Or the U.S. economy and quality of life?

"I hope you didn't record any of this""No I didn't"

Grand Prix Hotel is already sold out for the March 14 dates. I booked at the Courtyard Marriott at the airport. Distance to Foro sol isn't too far.

Hope to meet some of you in Mexico City!

Wow! That is a big surprise..

Any guesses who the new girl will be in the band ?

I wouldn't have a clue to be honest.

Actually, wasn't Joss Stone mentioned recently in a Keith or Mick or Stones interview somewhere.

Didn't she work with Mick at one time?

Don't know where her twitter says that? Can't see her tweeting on the subject?
If you check [lisafischermusic.com] however, she is theoretically available from Peru onwards.

Many times. Maybe it's time to do a tour with only Bernard as a backing vocalist? I don't know...

I'm not on twitter but I had a look just now and it is there on a recent reply of hers.

Well you just don't know with The Stones these days.

Next thing is we may hear Mick Taylor is back for a song or two for South America.
