October/November - Arenas (except for Coachella)
LA (2)
Oakland (2)
Coachella
Vegas
Chicago (2)
NYC (2)
Boston (2)
Phil
DC
Miami
Possibly Toronto instead of Miami or DC
Wouldn't Coachella's usual radius clause forbid the LA gigs?
Correct. No LA, no Vegas under usual circumstances. But maybe they can squeeze in Pappy & Harriet's.
*sweetheart, do you reckon' Oakland? I hate to put you on the spot.
And I realize it's a lifetime away.
Ah, it's okay. I can wait and see. I got Zip show with me forever. The rest would be gravy.

I will say it again,I have a good feeling the Stones will do Sacramento instead of Oakland.The most modern arena in the world opens in October and it makes sense for them to be the first major band to open it up.I feel it,bring the boys to Sactown.ANY free tickets of I am right,just saying.

Vegas! Vegas and the Stones go together like peanut butter and jelly. 100% in for Vegas if it plays out.

Regarding worries about coachella price tickets: if some bands (not only the Stones) ask 5-7 milions to play, how tickets can have reasonable price? Difficult

Isn't it a three day event?
My guess $350 per day or like $800 for the weekend

Overhead for a show like this can be high, due to location, but it's not a touring behemoth, and certain amount of infrastucture is probably already in place from Spring Coachella.
$7 million per band x 6 = $42 million
100 000 tickets x (say) $600.00 = $60 million (gross).
So, yeah, probably looking at $500 - $700 for weekend tix.
Ouch!...but Hey!...Once in a lifetime...

So based on that logic, $500-$700 for an entire marathon weekend of classic rock sounds like the deal of the century.

I think so, too, but shhh! Three-day passes for the Coachella under way now are $399. The biggest expense for most people will be accommodation (e.g. $500 per night at Super 8?!), travel.

Apart from the Daltrey quotes it seems like The Guardian got the rest of the Coachella story wrong.
Goldenvoice made no announcement last week, and the Los Angeles Times report had the Stones playing the first night with Dylan, not the middle night with Neil Young.
