Presale will be the days before. The General Sale ist most important for the Lucky Dip people as they are only available on this date (of everything ist selling Well). I am in London for the WHO Show. So I am hoping this won't happen on this day...

Virgin Atlantic operate a 787-9 on that route and it is WiFi enabled so no worries you can spend the whole flight refreshing the ticketmaster website to read sorry no pit tickets available ><

I was on it last year. Wireless was horrible. Not looking for pit tickets, but 10 or so rows behind end of b stage.

Press conferences are like telefax - old days and long gone. The new way of announcing a tour is tongues, banners, teasers, painted trams, stuff that may get photos and news sharing into social media, fit for internet distribution.

Well if the announcement timeline is to be believed and if the NFL Shirt tie-in is to be believed as well

Then you have to assume some sort of promotion/tease/surprise halftime appearance next Sunday during the Super Bowl, the most watched/media covered event each year

Super Bowl is 2 weeks away, not next Sunday. I'd be shocked if the Stones wasted money on a super Bowl add. In the age of social media announcing a tour at that price is just bad business. And the NFL tie in doesn't really have much to do with Super Bowl advertising. The Network carrying the Super Bowl, which is Fox this year sells advertising not the NFL. So the Stones/NFL tie in has little to do with Super Bowl advertising.

"Next Sunday" is correct, if I was talking about Sunday January 26th, I would have said "This Sunday"

And you are incorrect on the other stuff as well. Never said anything about buying advertising.

Fox and NFL/MLB are excellent as cross-promoting, or do you think it was a pure coincidence that Rob Lowe just happened to be in attendance yesterday and shown on TV during the game with his new show premiering tonight?

Does Mick want the tour to be done before the end of Euro 2020?

What really is the NFL tie in besides selling T-shirts? Harley Davidson also did a cross marketing with the Stones last Summer.

I don't think I could ever go to Lambeau unless the Bears are playing. Die hard fan and bears season ticket holder for many years.I will just say I'm not a fan of anything Green Bay. Hoping for a local Wrigley Field show or even Alpine Valley. Will fly for a couple shows also.

They could always go to the Packer Hall of Fame. I live in Green Bay and Packer fans are like a cult. Absolutely fanatical. It is actually scary to live here. Anyway, I image the Stones would stay in Chicago or Milwaukee and commute here. Lambeau Field is a huge stadium, seats around 80,000 for football. Any event there is pretty much guaranteed to sell out. No packer fan would ever turn down the opportunity to attend an event at Lambeau, it is like a holy pilgrimage!

1985-I'm with ya. Die hard Bears fan. ONLY the Stones could get me to Green Bay. However, I do think Green Bay is in play. I'm crossing fingers for St. Louis. Indy would work too.

South Bend, perhaps?

No New Orleans in 2020. Fine with me. No need to pay through the nose and ass to see the same tired show from last year.

I'm a bit skeptical about all this as BV has been silent about all this February 6th and February 14th business.

That part I agree with you, and what I said if this tie-in is to be believed, as IORR is infamous of twisting nothing into "fact" (i.e in the thread alone, they were playing JazzFest and in Las Vegas in August in the new stadium)

If there is some sort of official/larger play here with NFL and Stones, it would be a missed opportunity on the Stones side not to do some type of cross-promotion in the biggest viewed event each year with over 150 million USA viewers, if in fact, they will be announcing their USA tour a few days later.

now you are turning a rumour into a fact, too There were so many speculations about announcements in the last few years so I would not take it as a fact.

Wasn't the recent sale of merch related to NFL teams all the NFL teams? If so, I don't think think that is much of a hint for the upcoming tour. However, I would expect this tour to be another stadium tour, more tickets sold for less shows, and NFL stadiums/marketing tie in makes perfect sense. I would guess we will know shortly.

keefmick-Yes, I believe all 32 NFL team were represented. Originally it was just the cities that hosted 2019 No Filter shows then the second batch was the rest of the NFL teams.

This changes my thinking on the NFL connection. Rumors of Louisville and South Bend both hosting a Stone show in a college football arena in the summer when these venues are largely unoccupied, open air and of reasonable size could mean that the NFL t-shirt merch was a follow through on a deal and not a sign of things to come.

Louisville and South Bend are also just far enough apart to signal to me, anyway that they could actually be concert sites on a tour.

Also take note of the social media posts from Keith's daughter on Instagram last night showing the Stones video from Love is Strong with a comment about Charlie. Others of the STP have been posting Stones concert related material. Something is clearly coming our way this year.

South Bend would be very cool! Plenty of parking!!

We have a college football stadium (Louisville) as a solid rumor and a baseball stadium (NYC - Citifield) as a good rumor. It seems to indicate all stadium types will be in play.

On the 7th day God created The Rolling Stones

Come-On Oakland!!!

P.S. R.I.P. Joey Kramer. Tragg... I can't see the Stones doing that to Charlie, but that's a different thread.

Come-On San Francisco!!!

Citifield?? That's an awful venue. I saw Dead & Co. there few years ago. Too small and the view is terrible.

Have you heard of a possible date for the Citifield event?

So I might have missed something, but in a Stones NFL jerseys ad that automated and rotated the jerseys,it showed a NEW Dallas Cowboys jersey, BUT when you hit link Dallas jersey not there.It says look for your team when Stones hit your city. This leads me to believe DALLAS date in works on next tour. Any insights or response?

This is interesting.. I thought they released all of the NFL merch..
Looks like the collaboration may continue in select cities.
A lot of Zip Code cities now make sense for them to hit this time, Dallas would seem a sure bet.

Thanks Irix

The University of Michigan football stadium in Ann Arbor holds 110,000 people every other Saturday, or so, 6-7 times a year. It's centrally located between Northern Ohio (including Toledo and Cleveland), the lower peninsula of Michigan (Detroit, Lansing, Grand Rapids) and most of Ontario. The organization and the infrastructure are there but it's highly unlikely that the Wolverine alumni would allow their sacred gridiron to be trod upon by the great unwashed. Too bad.

rbk-Imagine how much fun the tailgating on the golf course would be for the Stones!
