Man, I was so happy to have tickets for Prag, Sportovni Hall, in 1998.
The smallest venue I have aver been to see the Stones: 13,000 !

But the best was yet to come. I went to 2 clubshows with my
friends, also diehard Stonesfans. It wasn´t easy but we deserved it!

PARIS OLYMPIA July 11, 2003 (with Salar and Thomas) 2.400

UTRECHT VREDENBURG August 16, 2003 (with Harald) 2.000

The best shows and the best people to be with!

old msg 72 and 75
18,000 maybe more by several hundred.
all shows both tours heavy sellouts i believe.
DEF the case all shows day and night '72 msg
a very cool venue. good seats ty God!
but thatz the ab max capacity (w decnt sonic placement)
that i really feel free and enjoy personally...
i've been to Stones stadium shows ONCE.
for me, that was it.

whoops not true; it was for '89, but iHAD to see Bill one last time;
didn't know for sure but suspected...

in 72, however, on July 4th in Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium,
where the D.C. baseball team plays I guess....
was a LOT of fun; we sat on the visiting team dugout; actually on it
with our legs hanging down, (unless we wanted to dance and piss
everyone else behind us off, which, of course, we did,
i can't say more about that day, as i don't know about statute of limitations.
um....
but stevie was super great; the Stones were too; it was worth it for sure.
but then again; they were on second base approximately; andx i was on the dugout; and most of that portable drunken heavily medicated throngs
of scampily-clad girls, women and...
well.
that one was ok i guess
boy that guitar player was pretty good!
i mean the other one; you expected it from keithy but whoa nellie

8th February 1965 - Early Show - Wellington Town Hall - 550 people capacity, probably an extra 100 in the aisles - incredible show

28th February 1966 - Late Show - Wellington Town Hall - 550 people capacity,
definitely an extra 150 people in the aisles and double stacked... First time I ever saw "Satisfaction" Live...Just amazing, I was a Brian fan as a wannabe guitarist, I started saving for my Vox after this which i wanted too pair with a Tele, got them in 68 which was just timing of life. Thanks Mum for the guarantee.

(Guys this is my Dad's post, bless him)

after reviewing the thread, Dad win's by a long way, unless you were in Richmond, Eel Pie, a rehearsal room etc

I have been to most of the Stones club shows since 1995, but one of the smallest and most unique shows of these must be this one:

Belly Up Tavern - Solana Beach, CA, USA - Wednesday, May 27, 2015

The Belly Up is a great 600 capacity club near San Diego, CA, USA. When The Rolling Stones performed their private show there, during the Zip Code Tour in 2015, it was not full, I assume there were some 400 people there. It was a magic show, and it was quite unique to be both outside, backstage and inside this great venue.

My very first Stones show was at the Capital Theater in Passaic, NJ 1978.
Also was lucky enough to get into the MTV gigs at the other Capital Theater in Port Chester, NY in 1997.
Both venues hold under 3000 people.
At the time I had a friend who was working for MTV and another that worked with Ron Delsner, that got me into the shows. What a week that was in 1997. Got to see David Bowie then one week later the Stones!

Here is a little article on that story -
