At Oeticket it actually says: "Festivalpass 02.-05.06.17", it is the whole festival. But to get The Stones + 4 days of the rest of the festival for 140E doesn't seem very likely.Quote

If they announce The Stones as part of RIV - I don't think this gig will be included in a 140 € festival ticket
It seems more likely that The Stones will open the festival on June 2 and the tix will be sold separately - the festival lasts one day longer than in the past...
Oops - my fault. You got it right, they offer the whole festival for 140 € - in that case I'm afraid The Stones won't be part of it...Quote

Berlin Waldbuhne is such a fantastic venue and it would suit a bluesy set. London would be easier as I do not need to worry about travel expenses and accommodation. I would really love to see them perform a blues set in a small venue

But when there are only three German shows 2014/17 why should 2 of them be in Berlin, in the middle of the GDR?
Due to the high demand in East-Germany as predicted by you - [iorr.org] ?
And btw there's no GDR anymore ....
Also jetzt wird mir's echt zu 'strange' hier, ich steige aus. Du verdrehst jedes vorgebrachte Argument. Nur noch soviel: die hohe Nachfrage besteht m.E. in Sachsen und Thüringen, natürlich nicht in Berlin, wo sie bisher bereits 14x gespielt haben, wo von den vier letzten Shows drei nicht ausverkauft waren (einschließlich Waldbuhne 98). Natürlich wäre auch das Stadion in Rostock in kürzester Zeit ausverkauft, aber leider wird es dazu nicht kommen, weil die Veranstalter kein Geld haben. Die wenigsten Leute fahren mehrere Hundert Kilometer zu einem Konzert.

"very few people drive several hundreds of kms for a concert"
This I find rather strange on a fan board, sorry. I know many people who are fans of certain bands (myself included) who regularly travel several hundred or even thousand kms to see their favourite band. My farthest journey has been from Hamburg to California. And I would surely do it again in a hearbeat if budget allows. It's all about priorities, man.

I mean the 'normal' people which fill the venues, of course not the hardcore fans. That's maybe 100 per show.
Ridiculous post why would any band tour if they didn't want there fans to attendQuote

Anyone notice it's getting harder each tour to get tickets? In 2014 the festivals were already sold out before The Stones were announced. Not 100% sure but this may have been all of them. I paid a scalper 300 euros to get into Pink Pop. I remember seeing the fences lined up with older fans that couldn't get in. The cynical and suspicious side of me thinks The Stones would rather the hard core fans not be there. Maybe I'm wrong, but I really don't think they enjoy hearing any criticism and want to believe everyone loves them especially young people. If I'm not mistaken Mick does not like to be around old people and refuses to share a space with anyone over weight. Forgot where I heard this but it makes sense as he thinks this is keeping him young and fit. Certainly something in his life drives him to maintain a youthful being. Anyhow, more and more old fans are dropping off myself included. Can't believe it but I'm willing to miss a tour for the first time. I shouldn't have to go through a lot of stress to buy an expensive concert ticket. That goes against good logic in my opinion. If they don't want me there I guess that's the way it will be. Maybe I wouldn't miss much after all.

That is just not true. Pinkpop sales started after The Stones were annouced. That's why it sold out that quick.

So I am wrong that they were announced before selling out?If so I apologize. Still, I don't think they're keen on die hard fans. Maybe and hopefully I'm wrong about that too. Anyhow I'm taking a step back for a while. Hope everyone gets what they want and enjoys it. Cheers.
