I agree- its airfare + hotel + food and the travel always carries a risk of postponement. I am hoping for some Saturday shows I can make personally in and out on weekends

The Voodoo Lounge tour was 120 shows over 12 months, four legs, with a couple of weeks off between legs. That was a marathon.
Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle was 115 shows over 12 months. They had breaks of six weeks and maybe 12 weeks in between legs. Even in those breaks Jagger was probably doing promotional and business stuff.

Now, yeah, they are old men and not going to do that again, but this band has always worked very hard.

But could they give us a BIT more info? Just a glimmer...!

So why wait for the ticket sale when a ticket can already be yours now for anything from several hundred to several thousand dollars...

[www.vividseats.com]

Yes Stubhub has tickets in section A, row A for ONLY $13,000 each and, of course,
plus fees....crazy.

I wonder if that indicates there will not be a tongue pit?

Im a little late getting news on the Vegas show so does anyone know the ticket prices yet?

I just went to vivid seats .com. nose bleed seats 385dollars to 500 floor seats 5000 to 8400u un real how do the get tickets before they go on sale?

top price is $750.00

Are the Stones in NY? I heard a rumor that their staging and equipment was spotted in midtown near the Garden. Am checking source.

They don't have them, but if someone offers them 8000 for a ticket, they'll buy it later on the open market and fill the order. It's basic "selling forward."

Seriously? I doubt it. Dixie Chicks are playing there tomorrow night.
Mick was in Europe for a soccer match yesterday.
But if you hear anything please let us know?

thx

They have six VIP packages listed on AXS - but no prices listed yet.

Here's the top one listed that will probably cost an arm and a leg...and then some...
____________________________________________________________________________
THE DIAMOND VIP PACKAGE

One Incredible Top Price Reserved Floor Ticket in the First Ten (10) Rows *
One Limited Edition Set of Rolling Stones Tour Lithographs
Special Set Includes Four (4) Total Custom Lithographs - One for Mick, Keith, Charlie & Ronnie
Limited Edition Lithographs Designed Exclusively for The Rolling Stones Tour
The Essential Rolling Stones VIP Travel Pack
Designed Exclusively For VIP Package Purchasers - Includes Items You’d Take “On the Road”
Travel Pack Contains an Assortment of Exclusive Rolling Stones Themed Merchandise
Includes a Commemorative Rolling Stones VIP Laminate & Matching Lanyard

* Please note venue seating configurations can vary market-by-market
_________________________________________________________________________________

With six VIP packages available, will there be any non-VIP tickets left for some of us common folks?
Or maybe a Plebian or Peon package with seats up in the rafters or behind the stage?

"Can't find a thing on the Stones' Vegas show in today's paper!"

Sounds wonderful that Charlie is fed up being a long way from home. He wants to do concerts closer to his homeland - that is UK.

During Zip Code Tour, top VIP Pacakge cost $2200. Only we can imagine what Diamond Pacakge will cost for Vegas show

Maybe the lack of information regarding the tour has somthing to do with whatever
deal the Stones negotiated with Desert Trip?

^ admirable sentiments, but wrong author (Robert Greenfield) or wrong book ("Old Gods ..." ). Probably best to discuss on the appropriate thread, though.

While both on topic and off, here's an interesting look into the world of ticket sales. Straight from the horse's mouth - former CEO of Ticketmaster:

Great article thanks for sharing. So another reason why the times of big arena concerts are over for me.

I bought tickets to see The Cult back in 1992 the day of the show. I didn't care where the seats were. They were AA5 and AA6.

I laughed. WAYYYY in the back, I thought.

Wrong.

Row 5 right in front of Billy Duffy.

Maybe it's just because of the Desert Trip festival but it seems really odd that tickets are going on sale in two days for a Stones arena show with no other shows announced or even rumored on IORR.

Tickets on sale tomorrow
