It will be interesting to see how they recoup the extra costs, given most tickets have already been sold. More expensive merch and food is my guess.
Reminds me of the deluxe Hazmat suits w/tongue logo someone mentioned previously - they'll cost $1,000 , and will now be required for entry!

2 points :
1. For the band, or indeed any other act, can you imagine walking onto a stage faced with thousands of people dressed up like that ???
2. Do you need a new one for every show??? If so, that would be one seriously expensive tour!!!

For insurance reasons, the band will also be required to wear them as an extra safety precaution for themselves, the fans, the security, and the staff.
And yes, the fan versions are good for only one show - they will have the date of show on back in bold lettering, and can only be worn on that specific date.
The gloves will also be required at additional cost, and color coded for each section of the stadium to designate where you will be located - Pit gloves will be bright red!

I think it will be Billy Joel.
Somewhere I heard the rumor he was going to play there some time back.

Times article says there will be multiple "iconic" acts.

How long did Ride Em On Down and the other B&L songs last on that tour? Did they make it to the end?

No, as I remember, they only made the first few shows.

Genesis is touring in November and December. Perhaps they are all US citizens?

Great news for BC on the Covid front.
Vancouver may end up being the opener after all.
My hunch is the band would (rightfully) wait until the PM announces the expected new Covid guidelines later this month before announcing the opener and new tour schedule.
B.C. COVID cases, hospitalizations fall; about three quarters of adults vaccinated
Deputy Public Health Officer Dr. Réka Gustafson says 74 per cent of adults in B.C. and 72 per cent of British Columbians aged 12 and up have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
Over the weekend, 146,911 COVID-19 vaccine doses were administered, 57,521 of which were second doses.
In total, 3,635,795 doses have been administered, including 314,246 which are second doses.

They're hoping travel restrictions will be lifted by then. If restrictions are still imposed and/or venue capacity restrictions are imposed, Genesis will postpone like Rod Stewart and Def Leppard have.
With the Delta variant beginning to take hold in Britain, I'm less positive travel restrictions are going to be lifted soon or exceptions made for O/P1 entertainer visas.
That said, the Machine is in gear, a tour is planned. But there has been no announcement, so I'm keeping my expectations in check.

Oh, I would bet parking goes to the venue. The only thing the venue makes money out of are the concessions and the parking, etc. - they have nothing to do with ticketing.

(and when you think about it, compared to what the Stones demand as a guarantee for A show - what's that, 4-5 million? - parking really is chump change)

Maybe not chump change. For example, the Oakland Coliseum Stadium has 10,000 parking spaces x $50 per space = half a million dollars. I know about ten years ago, I paid $50 for a space across the Bay at a San Francisco Giants baseball game.
