A friend of mine, reliable, wrote me people she knows in Cuba have "tickets" for the alleged Stones show - I have not spoken with her for sometimes, so I don't want to push her for technical details, as she lives in London.
I bet is that it would be THE most expensive show on earth on the second market

Could you ask what date is on the ticket - the 20th or 21st? Which date would be helpful in determining flights.

I bet you are more informed than her as for the date... The point of the post being the "ticket", whatever it is... I'm not sure it's yet something like a regular ticket with a date print on it... They have access to the show with a certain allowance of entries, that's what it means, I think.
I'm arriving there on the 17th and if ticket sale is local only I can try to get as many as I'm allowed for IORRians. The guy who owns the Casa I'm staying in is primed if needed, too.Quote

Thank you, Joker. I had a feeling it was more of an option to attend than a printed ticket - but thought I would ask anyway, just in case the date was mentioned.
I think anyone who is really interested in doing this - needs to be on the ground by the 19th to find a ticket.
Although listening to the show outside of the stadium wouldn't be the end of the world.
Your friend's Cuban friends wouldn't be up to a jaunt to Mariel's harbor tomorrow to check out some containers for us - would they?

Moored next to the Fort St. Georges at the Kingston Wharves in Jamaica is CMA CGM's Jamaica-Cuba shuttle ship, Max Champion. The Max Champion should be departing for Mariel, Cuba (Havana's shipping port) on the 23rd, arriving on the 26th with the Rolling Stones containers.
The Max Champion's shipping schedule:

Can't find Max Champion any more. Last tracking more than 27 hours ago nearby Cayman Islands.

GlimmerGirl24... You bring this right honorable website to a unchallenged level of maritime spying - do you have a pocket submarine, by chance?
IORR is so much fun! (and quite a waste of good hours of work)

Trying to guess...
The Brit's have always had a soft spot for Cuba. Remember that in the 1970s we sold them our superceded (red) London buses, and were proud of it.
So my take is that IF they can play, they WILL.
Anything that stops them will be 'force majeur' - and I'd suspect that includes the Secret Service wanting to keep president Obama safe from any real or imagined threats. ie They may veto the concert on the grounds that there would be far too many non-Cubans flocking to the island for them to be confident that all were Stones' devotees and able to be tracked/intercepted/detained.

My cell provider is not offering coverage in Cuba - Verizon and Sprint are:
[www.bloomberg.com]
"Verizon Wireless customers should be able to get online through a roaming agreement with Vodafone. But two friends who visited Cuba recently said they had trouble using it. (Verizon said it hasn’t heard of major complaints about roaming in Cuba and that the service is reliable.) The package will run you $2.99 per minute for phone calls and $2.05 per megabyte of data, enough for about a dozen Instagram photos. Sprint offers roaming in Cuba for $2.49 a minute and $1.99 per megabyte of data. T-Mobile and AT&T don't offer roaming on the island."
<snip!>
I think I was using around 500 megabytes of data last summer to Periscope. It's going to be expensive to Periscope the concert or any of the other Stones related activities or sightings. If I decide to head for Cuba, a GoFundMe account may pop up. And there's no guaranteed connection to Periscope - but it looks hopeful.

The news was confirmed today the media in the Central American island. It will be the end of March on land adjacent to the "Sports City" in the Cuban capital.
