The idea of the Stones in their 80s (or very close to them) playing massive stadium shows seems like a step too far.

It's hard to believe they could sell out a stadium in Los Angeles at primo prices these days. There's nothing new to sell. It's the never ending Greatest Hits tour, unless the new album has turned back time 30 years.
Los Angeles will be tough to sell out even if tickets are priced reasonably AND there's a new album that has turned the clock back 30 years - there's too many other alternatives for entertainment in L.A. for them to gouge fans too much. And no matter what the price, expect lots of discounts, price drops, selling tix via Costco, Groupon, etc. and scalpers getting stuck with inventory. But there's no way will they be as high as *Vegas '16 which were the highest priced US tickets ever maxing out at apprx. $800 for floor and all lower level - it was robbery. And even though it was an arena, they had trouble selling tix resulting in massive official price drops and scalpers desperately dumping tickets. In one sense it benefits those who are patient and/or on the fence, but why not make the tickets reasonable to begin with?
Haven't you told that story before?
50 & Counting wasn't just the name of a tour... ; )

Hairball's a huge Rolling Stones fan and everyone else on here is a fan to some degree. However, that doesn't mean he has to give absolutely every aspect of everything they do unquestioning and gushing high praise.

It's all about context in relation to 24FPS's post.If they have a hard time selling in a Vegas arena, then clearly they'll have a hard time selling in a massive stadium in Los Angeles.
Thankful you two pay attention to my posts lol, and are level headed enough not to completely flip out. But to honor bv's request, time to move on until rumours become facts.

No worries. Dropped that bon mot as the story has indeed been told - many times. ; )

EVERY worthy seat at EVERY show The Stones have played in the last 50 years has sold out.
Only morons focus on crappy nose bleed seats, seats up high behind the stage or tickets way way way in the back not selling out in 50 minutes. ALL of the good seats are sold every time.
But obviously the morons feel they must gather as many things as they can to complain about in their efforts to bash the Stones as often they can as they do their best to drive away actual fans of the band so they can monopolize IORR as whiner central.
If The Stones cared about "SELLING OUT" every single ticket they could play smaller venues, but why would they do that when they can play 30,000-80,000 capacity and sell out EVERY good viewing position, make a boatload of money and afford them to offer lucky dips and other good things?
The incessant whining by the usual 5-10 suspects posting here everyday all day all night is ridiculous as they pollute every thread with their BS. One can not read any thread on IORR without coming across these Debbie Downers.

Would be surprised if they play Sports Authority in Denver. They haven’t played Denver since 1 arena show in 2005, if they didn’t find enough demand for a stadium in ‘05/06, or any appearances at all from ‘12-‘18, it’s difficult to imagine 80,000 Colorado Stones fans suddenly materializing next year.

And after that, I am sure they will be back to Europe, may be in 2022, 60 and counting.
Oh I do hope note. There has to come a point where enough is enough. They should pack it before they embarrass themselves. The idea of the Stones in their 80s (or very close to them) playing massive stadium shows seems like a step too far. Please let them retire with the minimum of fanfare before they reach that point

Myself I think after next years tour Charlie will say enough is enough. Can't see them playing in their 80s, just ain't gonna happen. They should retire on a high note.

I would tend to agree as far as stadiums, arenas, and tours in general go, but they might be able to pull off a few small shows somewhere.
I've always thought a multi-night stint at Royal Albert Hall would be a perfect ending. That said, the future seems to depend on how Charlie feels and how well Keith can hold up.

Our baseball stadium, Busch Stadium, has been booking more shows lately, 2-3 per summer, and we have a nice big empty indoor football stadium.
