Tonstone, the fact that you can't afford to attend shows outwith UK is absolutely accessible. I just hope the Stones will play in the UK next year. And, hey, I'm from Greece... So, believe me, I fully understand all the issues about today's financial difficulties. Best wishes.

Brexit = UK is not a part of Europe anymore, thus it's only logical that an European tour does not include the UK…

The Rolling Stones are a London band. They started in London and will return to London. I bet there will be a complete UK tour next year. Cross your fingers and start saving up.
We should be thankful for having them around. They are in their mid 70's, most people are retired at that age.

Objectively the stones shows are expensive, but in a few years time there won't be stones shows to go to, so if you can spend it now and save later I reckon!

When London ticket price details are announced, you'll regret not having taken a budget flight to see them in Europe.

A dreadful thought indeed, I think those of us that would like to see them in London had better either brace ourselves - or else simply get on and re-mortgage the house, the garden, the car, the bicycle, the food in the fridge, the clothes on one's back, the cat's food, the dog's toys, etc etc !!

OK just having a rant very disappointed about no UK Dates - If they wanted they could easily fix UK venues, Don't give me this crap about no suitable venues. So what is the point of this European Tour No Filter Tour'. What are we promoting ? No New Album - Ok why not call it 'Catch Us While You Can Tour'- I love the Stones but I am not privileged enough to pay £1000 per show [Travel and tickets] Today you just lost a die hard fan. The Day the music died.
In a couple of years time you will regret not jumping on short plane ride and going to watch them and it certainly doesn't have to cost anything like £1000 a show.

Based on this very reasoning, I skipped O2 Arena in 2012 (which actually would have costed me approximately 1000 €, all things considered) and I must say Nate is right. I regret not having gone to those gigs, even if the tickets were ridiculously charged.

Hi guy's thank you all for your well balanced comments and discussions. My initial frustration and rant is well and truly over.

The Rolling Stones do not need a Tour album anymore, because they are The Rolling Stones! ><

Chuck Berry toured for around 36 years without putting out a 'tour album'.

...And, similar to Mr Berry, the band is an increasingly pale shadow of its once-daunting self with every one of those passing years.

Arnhem decent ticket £130
Return from Manchester to Amsterdam £64
Return train to Arnhem £30
Airbnb in Arnhem £50
Total well under £300
About the same as a mid price seat at the o2 in 2012
And I know which I'd rather be doing :-)

They still provide in my opinion the best evening's entertainment you can get outside the bedroom
