Thanks. I think the fact that Chicago is the end of the tour will sway me to Chicago. But I can see how free drinks would have you choose NY!!

I would do NY, but that's because I grew up there, have loads of friends there, a free place to stay and a friend's bar where I get to drink for free . That said, seeing end of tour pretty cool since no guarantees of another tour (same as past tours).

It sure helps when u know people. I'll be staying with friends at both shows I'm going to

I'd say Chicago over NYC. East Rutherford isn't far from the city but its not in New York, Soldier Field is IN the city of Chicago. You've got the lake right there, in general I'll take Chicago over NYC in the summer.

The final show in Chicago has a lot of great tickets available. With more than 4 months to go, prices are only going to go lower.

That can be said for most of the venues actually, particularly Glendale and Jacksonville, wide open.

i would go for Chicago. Great city, better vibe than NYC and its surroundings. Nicer people. Good scenery, great women. good music n the Stones.

Agree with the Chicago preference and I grew up right outside of Manhattan.

another native New Yorker agreeing with Chicago. New Jersey is not NYC. The Jersey venue sucks for many reasons. Soldier Field is actually in Chicago, a great city to visit. And it's the last stop. Jersey shows are never special. Go to Chicago.

With the 2 show cities,they can fill the set lists with warhorses and still play completely different sets each night. Just sayin’

As if New York City is crime free lol...

"Don't you know the crime rate's going up, up, up, up, up
To live in this town you must be tough, tough, tough, tough, tough!
You got rats on the west side, bed bugs uptown
What a mess this town's in tatters..."

PS - "...don't mind the maggots..."

I do prefer NY thin crust pizza vs. Chicago thick crust, but that's a whole different debate.

Any idea when we might see pit VIP packages turn into regular face value prices?

After the show is over maybe

I live near DC, so the Landover show is a given. Was thinking of the NJ 17th date, but you all are tempting me with Chicago 2. I'll be off work then and I could hang around for a few days and visit the city. Great way to kick off the summer!

I’m in Chicago a few days before , I must say I’m tempted too

Jagger with new material!!! So groovy and Amazing! 2019 - All about writing, recoring...and a tour ! The Rolling Stones!!!

You're just sayin?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Brilliantly pointless.

The countdown is on....only 78 days until the tour starts, and 95 days until I see them in Glendale.
Will they have any new material released prior to those deadlines? Hope so, but not placing any bets.
Hopefully some more blues covers from B&L at least...would be a shame if they ignore that album the same way the ditched Doom and Gloom rather quickly.

I wish that the band would play at least a few 2nd-or-3rd tier markets. Not everyone lives in huge megalopolises.

Their last major US tour they did just that and called it Zip Code.
This is a band that if you want to catch live you have to be willing to travel as waiting till they come to (fill in the blank) just isn't an option anymore for several reasons.

And also if you don't live in a huge megalopolis, you have to be prepared to travel to see pretty much every band you like. (And to see the bands you like most at OTHER megalopolises.)

It's not really a new thing. In 1978, my choices were to drive from seattle to boulder or the bay area if i wanted to see the band. i chose boulder. think it was same for the no security tour. & steel wheels, i had to go to vancouver. that's not really that far but still had to travel.

I was at that Vancouver show!
Biggest difference in the earlier years was that you could pass on traveling for a show by knowing that you'll catch them next time...

Agreed. It would be nice if they did another Wichita or Little Rock-type market. The whole town is buzzing. But it's different now.

With that being said, what is the outlook of a 2nd American/North American leg of No Filter as Europe had two No Filter mini tours.

I was a little more optimistic about that when the initial rumored plan was for mainly an east coast tour. Once they threw in several west coast stops it doesn't seem as likely to me.
Course, there's still a lot of fertile ground so to speak.. all of Canada and any number of US cities they could hit and easily fill the stadiums/arenas, so you never know

If there are any more No Filter shows, I predict they'll head south of the border to Mexico, and then on to Central and South America.
Doubt they would spend more time in North America after it's already been plundered...and there's still tickets available for all shows - in some cases loads of tickets.
Unless maybe they come back and play reasonably sized arenas (capacity 20,000 give or take) which is highly doubtful.
Plenty of places down south that are ripe for the picking and ready to be taken advantage of from a business perspective.
