I always purchase cancellation insurance through TicketBastard for these big ticket shows.
I realize the band members are in their '70's and that these shows can be cancelled or postponed.
Your credit card company will always take your side if you dispute a charge.
Dispute any charge a hotel makes to your credit card. Your bank most likely will choose your side of the story.
And lastly: GET BETTER, MICK!

Cancellation insurance is good, accidentally purchased it for the Santa Clara show of the six shows I bought for, but the tickets for all of them will be refunded (if I choose) so it really does no good for situations like this, it is intended for if YOU get sick etc.
As for the credit card "taking your side" with disputes.. sure, I've also successfully disputed several charges over the decades, but if you bought at the "no cancellation" price at a hotel or the non-refundable price of airline tix, you're not going to win those battles.
Least of the concerns right now though.. Mick's health is the most important issue, we all agree.
I would imagine it's the same feeling no matter who the patient is. Surgeons are professionals and life is a life to them, whether it is a teacher or a waitress or a rock star. I don't think they rate whose life is more important than others.Quote

Depending on the period Mick needs to be "off" for concerts.
They need to rebook stadiums - depending on the postponing period which could in worst case be all concerts. Then the availability of stadiums, timing for the concerts, crew availability etc, etc.. All this needs to be considered.
The Stones / Tour management has probably know about the situation a bit longer than we have. It doesn't happen all of a sudden.

Guys,relax.
Mick doesn’t have Fcking cancer or heart problems,if he did the tour would be canceled and the Stones would disappear for the foreseeable future.
He most likely tore an ACL or MCL training for the tour.
Now the master class in how you stay on top for 50 + years-
If they say what happened and the tour is postponed the story is-“old guy gets hurt,time to hang it up pops”
By leaving out the one detail, the specifics of the problem the frenzy begins.
Right now the internet is buzzing,every news station and all the newspapers are carrying stories “tour postponed ,what’s wrong with Mick.”
A distinct air of concern and intrigue is there.he’ll get it worked on in the next few days,probably by that Dr David Andrews guy who does the NFL players who will give him a timeline and the tour will be rescheduled from there.
Meanwhile the media and all of us will be like puppies waiting for a cookie.they will give the tour dates and an update on Mick.
Everyone will be relieved and also think”man,we better see them while we can”=ticket sales.
It’s called controlling the narrative and nobody does it like the Stones.
I think your observations are spot on. The Stones have had decades to learn how to successfully perfect, market and craft their "brand." And yeah, this current health issue, whatever it is, could potentially produce an uptick in ticket sales for fans on the sidelines who may believe that this could be "the last time" so they can cross a Stones concert off their bucket list.

Back in 2015 I said that Buffalo could be the last outdoor stadium show in the USA. So far, it still is.
Desert Trip was outside
October 2016 private party at Gillette stadium was the last show in a USA stadium.

Nice try, but not.

Maybe - while Mick is getting better - they can finish the new record and put it out before the tour.

Good news from Stevie
'' I’ve been told by someone who knows that Mick Jagger’s ailment is thankfully temporary and insignificant. The Rolling Stones’ immortal endurance continues to inspire all of us! Meanwhile, catch my interview with Keith on YouTube this week.''

If Mick's condition was a bone fracture( just guessing) then he needs time to recover and I would never want to see Mick in a chair singing to keep the tour going. It would ruin the whole performance for me. Other artists have done the gigs in a chair - David Grohl and Axl Rose come to mind a few years back.
Just speculation - a 100% Mick is want we all want and wish him a speedy recovery.
