Hi Bjornulf, I haven't heard any rumors of a Detroit show at Comerica stadium? What is your prediction?

What about Phoenix AZ?
Is it a possible stop instead of Vegas?
They won't substitute another city for Vegas - they tend to use Vegas for an entertainment industry party and meetings. Unless of course, they lost way too much money in Vegas in 2016 - but I doubt it. In '02, the idea of the Staples NRDC show was born, we don't want them to drop Vegas - they get cool ideas there.
Although, I do think Phoenix is a good possibility this time - they haven't played it in quite a while.
As of right now, there is no massive stadium in *Vegas - chances might be slim for them to play there this time.[www.facebook.com]
If they do decide to do a few arenas maybe they'll play there, and if so hoping for the classic MGM Arena. Smaller, better sound, and all around better vibe.
Speaking of the FREE Staples NRDC concert in Feb.03, I was the lucky recipient of one of those tickets and landed right on the rail of the B-stage!!!
Midnight Rambler at the B-stage directly in front of Keith...one of my favorite Stones moments ever...and it was for free!!!
Also saw a show at American West Arena in Phoenix during the Licks tour and it was hotter than hell, both the weather and the show itself!
Was that Staples show the one Clinton was at? I won tickets to that one!

Miami is confirmed.

Why not?
It's the biggest/most populated city in Florida.

Miami and Vegas were always my toughest markets, as far as trying to get tickets from scalpers

There were plenty of tickets for *Vegas '16 officially available for both shows before and after the first show cancellation.
Stubhub price drops the day of the second show at a 75% discount from face value - bought a pair of floor seats for my wife and I for apprx. $250/each, and if memory serves didn't you also do the same?
Or maybe I'm thinking of the massive Desert Trip price drops that everyone was snatching up - including you? Or maybe I'm confusing you with hbwriter ?! Whatever the case, overpriced tickets in both cases resulted in slow sales resulting in the secondary market dumping them as cheap as possible.

I didn't do Vegas '16. But I did the Stones at MGM Grand maybe 4-5 times, and it was always tough. High rollers with their comped tickets. And, as you know, it is just a great little venue.

Yes. Don't get sucked into the credit card presale hype. The seats are generally sub-par. There will be plenty of availability for stadium shows.
Not if they called it ‘the last time tour’

I can't see how they can do a complete big city US tour with 14 shows. May be an East Coast tour. Watch out for stadium teasers...

They played a number of cities like San Diego, Atlanta, Detroit etc in 2015 during Zip Code, and also they did California and LV 2016, so technically it is the larger East Coast cities they have been missing out on.

Hoping for a Detroit show as well, so I can hit them again on this tour.

I would think Cleveland browns or Cincinnati Bengals stadium may be in the mix.
