Anything is more important than Lurch and O IMHO.
There's a one-way non-stop flight from Frankfurt on the Main (Germany) to Havana on March 24, 2016 (9:25-15:50) for € 400 with Condor/Thomas Cook. Maybe it's possible to take a high-speed train like Thalys or ICE to travel from other european cities to Frankfurt.
Flight comparison: [Fly.com] .
A spare hotel room? Sounds interesting... can u pls tell me more about that?
Uruguay here...
Thanks.
Flying Air China as well thanks to your tip earlier in this thread!
I guess you're from Montréal. I'm from Chicoutimi and I'll be in Varadero from the 23rd to the 30th. I'd like to, and I'll try, to go to the show.
Daniel
Yes, I'll be in Varadero from the 23rd to the 30th and I'll be staying in Varadero. I'd like to take a bus to Havana the day of the show. I doubt there's a bus to go back to Varadero after the show, so I'll have to sleep in Havana for the night after the show.
Daniel
It's a free show, in a place that isn't jaded by getting every rock tour that comes along. If I were Cuban, I'm sure I'd go just for a fun afternoon/evening out, whether or not I knew anything about the band. (And I'm sure I wouldn't be complaining about warhorses.
)
Why wouldn't they be interested?
There are 2,532,016 interested Cuban fans.
Merci infiniment
Ça semble être le seul site qui fonctionne. Je suis en attente d'une réponse pour un Bed & Breakfast près du site du concert.
Thanks a bunch
It seems to be the only website that works. I'm waiting a reply for a B&B near the venue.

It's still a question: how many Cubans are really interested in The Rolling Stones ?
Well, nobody knows !
Do they know them, their music, the hits, the band's legend, myth, history etc ???
So nobody knows how many will attend.
10.000 ? 100.000? More?

Anyone succeeded booking a Havana room through AirBnb in last couple of days ?
I found some available rooms but always an error message
"Oops! We can't seem to find the page you're looking for."
is shown after I clicked "Request to Book" button.
Tried with Chrome, Firefox and IE.
There is no problem to booking a room in another country. Only Cuba.

In an ironic twist only US citizens can book cuba accomodation with Airbnb. The fact that they can't put up a page explaining that instead of a 404 is just aww...

I was successful in booking an AirBnB just this morning. Great place right in old Havana. Earlier in the week I probably booked the last hotel room in Havana. I noticed that with many AirBnB listings the host cancelled at the last minute. If that doesn't happen to me I'll have a spare hotel room that I can offer someone.

I booked non stop flight Montreal to Havana on China Airlines. If you want to fly from Montreal to Varadero with Air Transat, Air Canada or Sunwing this is a 2 hours 20 minutes bus ride to Havana.

I'm going to hold onto both for the time being. I don't want to give away the hotel and then find out that my AirBnB has been cancelled too. But I'd rather the hotel went to someone here rather than simply cancelling it.

Two members of the Stones, Daryl and Bernard, played Cuba last year as members of the Dead Daisies. That show drew 6,000, but while it had members of various name bands, I'm sure the Stones will draw much more.

From [www.rollingstones.com] :
"[Lima] featured a different stage set-up, as much of the previously used set is currently being shipped to Cuba, where the band will play a free concert for over 500,000 people in less than three weeks".

According to the NY Times, Major Lazer's concert yesterday had just under 500k in attendance.
[www.nytimes.com]
This article includes a video that gives some idea of the crowd. The concert though was at a waterfront plaza in front of the US Embassy, not at Sports City.
[fusion.net]
A video on Major Lazer's Facebook page shows an aerial view of the audience:
[www.facebook.com]
I guess I should find a Major Lazer forum and see if anyone traveled to Cuba for the concert, their posts might give some idea of what to expect with the Stones.
