I have never been to Scandinavia so it would be great to make a visit and see the Stones play.
I have a childhood friend who lives in Oslo I have not seen her for about 30 years she is a musician.Sadly I found out this year that my friend has been crippled with blindness.
It would be great to visit my friend and surprise her with a Stones show I'm sure she would enjoy.

There will be a new record size concert venue opening in Oslo, Norway during the first week of July, 2017. Up to now the largest venue in Norway has been Valle Hovin, a speedskating concrete field near Hasle. The Rolling Stones performet at Valle Hovin on Wed Aug 8, 2007.
The new venue "Voldsløkka idrettspark" has been approved by Oslo Kommujne (the town office) for a one-day festival during the first week-end of July 2017. There will be an event with one of the world largest acts, plus support.
Venue : Voldsløkka idrettspark
Capacity 60,000 people
Date : Saturday July 1 or Sunday July 2, 2017
Area: Nydalen, Oslo
Festival tickets in Norway are typically NOK 2,000 up so this would make a potential for NOK 120 million revenue i.e. 15 million US dollars. The orgnanizer Atomic Soul work with AEG Live so this festival will for sure be up for bids for a possible Stones show.

Great!
Sorry, I didn't notice at first what happened to your friend. That's very sad. Didn't mean to be disrespectful. I was just so stoked about the news...

They could have played ten shows in Germany or even twenty no problem. But... they want to get around to different crowds of all ages. If they charged 250 Euro for a ticket in Germany there would be a riot. That is the difference.
there were not riots at Berlin's Waldbuehne (at least not in 2014)
Did they charge 250 euros for a GA ticket?

I'm wondering who's bidding from Poland... The biggest concerts are Live Nation but do The Stones work with Live Nation at all?
There's also Alterart who are running two big festivals in mentioned time frame, one in Warsaw and one in Gdynia. Gdynia has open headliner spots on June 30th and July 1st only. Maybe 28th and 29th of June are ok too as sometimes they have two headliners per day/evening.

I would love to see the Stones somewhere in Europe. I have toyed with different dates and pretty much all the Airlines I look at are around $1200 to $1500 to various locations.
Anyone have any hints to finding a cheap flight from the United States to Europe.

But do you have any info that's the Stones indeed? "One of the world largest acts" could also mean Guns N' Roses, Foo Fighters, Metallica or E Streed Band all of whom I guess will be on tour in Europe next summer.

Or U2 which will tour next year. I don’t know which kind of info BV has, but I thought Gothenburg and Helsinki are mire likely this time around because they were left out in 2014. And if it's really just 8 or 10 shows, then probably not 3 of them in Scandinavia.

You seem to believe it's kind of normal to sell 1 day festival or field tickets for 60.000 venues for 250 Euro. Well IMO this is not normal, actually it's perverted or at least absurd. It's possible in a few very rich countries, though. It would not even before possible in a Las Vegas stadium.

As far as I remember, someone here wrote that Helsinki are out of question because the only stadium there is under reconstruction and they don't have big enough arenas.

Ratina Stadion in Tempere.
Bruce Springsteen played in this stadium.

If there's going to be max 10 shows tour I think that the reasonable scenario would be:
1 show in Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden, Finland)
1 show in eastern Europe (Poland, Czech Rep., Hungary, Romania)
1 show in Italy
1 show in Spain or Portugal
max 2 shows in Germany or 1 in Germany and 1 in Austria/Switzerland
1 show in Benelux or Denmark (yep, technically it's Scandinavia but logistically and marketwise it's closer to Holland, Belgium or Germany)
max 2 shows in UK
1 show in France
and maybe one odd place like Israel in 2014 (Russia, Serbia, Iceland etc.)
