Hallo, I'm a Stones fan from 1968. I saw them the first time in 1973, Belgium.
I saw them the last time in Utrecht. I don't won't them to see anymore.
I'm fed up with all that old songs.
Well said. Me too! I have heard the same songs again and again more times than I care to remember. I love the band, I love their music. ALL their music. Not just the 30 or so songs, from which around 20 are chosen to make up their concert performances now. There are fantastic numbers that would work wonderfully in concert if only the band were brave enough to play them again. And I'm not talking about deeply obscure numbers either. 19th Nervous Breakdown. Have You Seen Your Mother Baby? Ruby Tuesday. Dandelion. Shes A Rainbow. Waiting On A Friend. And they have played some of these over the years. Not just anytime recently.
Mind you, whenever the band play anything from outside the core list of numbers now, the exodus to the bar begins, together with the slow hand-claps, occasional booing, and a dozen loud-mouths yelling for Satisfaction, Start Me Up or Brown Sugar. And this is stuff I have experienced personally at several different concerts. It is not heresay evidence from anyone else.
BS, I have NEVER heard anyone boo the band in my 58 shows over 44 years no matter if they don't particularly like a few of the songs.

I'm delighted you have not heard any booing. I wish I could say the same. Maybe you get better seats. Or maybe I have just been unfortunate. But remember I did say 'occasional booing' - not widespread and not at every gig. Unfortunately just a few drunk 'pretend-fans' can make a bit of noise. On average at maybe 20% of gigs. Sadly the shouting for warhorses and exodus to the bar are far more frequent. I pretty well experience those at most gigs. I get no pleasure from saying this. As a lifelong fan of the band it makes me sad. What should be totally joyful occasions become just a little unpleasant.
I cannot compete with your amazing attendance record - 58 gigs over 44 years is wonderful. My compliments. I can only muster 43 (I think) over 55 years, seeing them firstly in the UK in 1965, then again last year for probably the final time. If you attend any gigs this time around, enjoy them to the full my friend!

I may be in the minority here but I was 99% sure Chicago 1 last year was going to be my last Stones show. For me this tour is a BONUS. I'm not going to give the set list a single thought going into St. Louis. I'm just going to simply enjoy!
Hi Irix! thank you for answer, I will post a request in the Buy/Sell/Trade-SectionQuote

Hi anyone have a recording of the iHeartRadio NY Q104.3 announcement?
Maybe it helps to post a request in the Buy/Sell/Trade-Section - [iorr.org] .
I wanted to do a recording but the original iHeartRadio-Link didn't work in Europe (only Podcasts were showed, no Live-Stream).
As I saw this Link: [iorr.org] it was already too late to set up the Recording-Environment (Virtual Soundcard + Audio-Editor).

Ticket purchase question!
Past two tours I've bought pit tix when they came on for the fan presale. They weren't cheap but I was happy to have them.
Anyone wait for the last minute and buy tix on Stubhub or similar? Wondering if they are less if I get them at the last minute.
What do people recommend?

StubHub last minute could work well at many shows this year since these are secondary markets.

Maybe. Sacramento 99 was a second or even third tier market and the first show sold out so quickly they added a second show.

Before the pre-pre-sale?
A big rip offQuote

Because there are still too many people that don't know what Viagogo is - the biggest scalping company in the world.

Make sure to update your ticketmaster account - they have new security measures in place. I had to register a new account just now cause my old would accept my credit card that I used to buy LD last tour. Strange.

My credit card got renewed but TM wouldnt accept it since it is from Germany. When I created a new account it worked. Also I had to doublecheck by entering a code that was sent to my cellphone.

If you have to worry about a date, it could be tougher. Most of these are going to be in football stadiums. There will be PLENTY of seats come day of the show. Go to the ticket window around 5 and see what they've got. I've had excellent seats that way, at face value. That's right. Box office tickets don't have fees, so far. In 2002 I got Stones' tickets. Yes, the actual tickets from the Stones. They hold on to a certain amount for certain people, then release the rest. They were 17th row, right at the side front of the stage. Primo. And since it was Los Angeles, there were celebrities sprinkled in the mix.
You'll rarely get a good seat waiting all night in line, or trying to get through to Ticketmaster. Another way is get a seating map of the venue. There will be PLENTY of scalpers. Many of them have already made their money. They're just trying to dump what they've got left, because their product is worthless once the show starts. Just check the ticket, see where it is on your seating chart, and make sure it's the right date. These are actual tips from an actual Stones concert goer. And I got 5th Row Prince tickets this way too.

Some venues seat maps loaded on TM today show quite a few seats completely behind the stage, and Austin shows no pit?
