Who is going to the Tampa concert and where is everybody staying? There are a lot of hotels in Tampa and many have already raised their rates. Looking forward to seeing the Stones again. Long Live the Stones!

Montreal? Where would they play in Montreal in November?


Sadly, Canada has probably seen its laat Stones show.

Montreal in November - Olympic Stadium has a roof.
Rogers Centre in Toronto formerly Skydome.

They'll have to decide soon: Rogers Centre (SkyDome) is planned for demolition.

Isn't it amazing how quickly stadiums are considered old and obsolete! I remember when it opened, it was considered an architectural wonder with it's retractable roof. Even Washington wants to build a new football stadium even though theirs, formerly Jack Kent Cooke stadium opened in 97 I believe. Imagine tearing down a house that was built in the late 90s!

Plexi, what hotels did you find for Minneapolis? Thanks.

I settled on one called the Graduate Minneapolis which claimed that it had unique local qualities, very Minneapolis or Minnesotan, something like that. It is 1.36 miles from the stade/stadium which is further away than I wanted, but the cost was less than some others which were closer. Has a "Wonderful" rating (higher than Excellent). I am going to be paying $367.39 including tax for two nights but parking was another $50.

The Graduate is a neat little chain of hotels all located in college towns (U of M campus is right across the river from US Bank Stadium). I have been to the one in Bloomington, IN and it is nice and unique.

I went to the Stones concert when this stadium first opened. It was one of the first concerts there. They called the town RALJON after his son. That's a blast from the past I had forgotten all about this.

So will Sasha Allen still be the main backup singer, or will Lisa be back?

Hairball, what's the best way from the Luxor, to go to back of Mandalay and then over or what?
What about Hacienda being closed during large events?

--Feel free to email me. No addy for you.

There's an interior walkway that goes from Excalibur to Luxor to Mandalay Bay with some shops, restaurants etc. along the way connecting the hotels, and portions of it are a "moving sidewalk".
Or the free tram starts at Exalibur with a stop at Luxor and then on to Mandalay Bay, and it also runs in reverse starting at Mandalay > Luxor> Excalibur.
Once inside Mandalay, walk through casino back to indoor parking lot and/or towards Delano Hotel and indoor parking lot (Delano and Mandalay are interconnected and share same parking structure).
Exit from parking structure to Mandalay Bay Rd which which goes over the freeway and turns in to Hacienda Avenue.
Or from Luxor Hotel- walk and exit to back of hotel/casino to Luxor Drive - turn left which will take you to Mandalay Bay Rd/Hacienda Ave. and then go over freeway
Hacienda Ave./Mandalay Bay Rd. is only closed to automobile traffic during large events, but it remains open to the large number of pedestrians making their way to and from the stadium.

Here's link to google map - zoom out a bit and scroll around - you can see Hacienda Ave and Mandalay Bay Rd going over freeway which then turns in to Hacienda Drive.
Mandalay Bay hotel, Delano, and Luxor are to the right w/Las Vegas Blvd. (The Strip) to the far right. Excalibur is just north of Luxor.

ps - I know several other people who have have already booked at Mandalay or Luxor, so no doubt there will be a large caravan of many other Stones fans making the trek.
Just follow the tongues and you won't get lost.

keefmick, hello,

Yes, I have found that too. Tried the walk before calling also.
Thanks!

I don't know if I would want to be in a hotel even walking distance from SoFi STADE in LA as I've heard reports that "the neighbourhood is terrible," dangerous. But one person on this board who lives in SoCal (not Hairball) mentioned that it is possible that some nice new hotels could have gone in when the STADE was built but he didn't know for sure. May be worth investigating. I got the Holiday Inn LAX which seemed good and close enough to the airport to be safe and close to the STADE yet away from the troubled neighbourhoods.

thanks for that bit of information. I did notice some kind of a connection with the university. Didn't know it was part of a chain.


Thanks Tim.

This thread seems to have had quite some hectic start. A lot of different posts at slightly different moments between 15:02 and 15:24, before bv takes over and sorts it all out. It all started by Christiaan, then MisterDDDD, SomeTorontoGirl, peoplewitheyes, elmuseo and FloridaStoner.

Anyone know how to get any needed passwords for the LA and Vegas presales?

See here - [iorr.org] . It's the same for New Orleans, Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

Also, as regards LA, don't forget the two "pre"-presales on Tuesday:

"There are several presales scheduled for the show, including one on Tuesday, July 27, at 12 p.m. for ticketholders to their previously scheduled show in San Diego as well as season ticket holders of the sports teams that play at the Inglewood-based stadium."

[thescenestar.typepad.com]

Also: "A representative for the Stones told the Union-Tribune that Ticketmaster will be in direct contact with those who purchased tickets for the 2020 San Diego concert by the band"

Thanks Topi

Charlotte, New Orleans, Tampa seem to be better choices but weather is always a concern. Atlanta is crime infested and dangerous due to the lack of police presence, and Pittsburgh was boring in 2015, it rained all day and the show was very pedestrian.

I think being off stage for 2 yrs roughly,and pittsburgh being 3rd show,it should be alot of energy,was hoping too attend cleve and Louisville shows,so heading too pitt,hopefully it's a good sounding stadium like DC was in '19

There’s a couple of interesting videos in this Vancouver news item. I don’t think it’s been posted previously.

Jeeez, Angus, Canucks are badass! Thanks - never head that story…but I did work the Teenage Head riot in Toronto in 1980, gave me great skills for staking out my spot in the Pit.

I like that too, "follow the tongues," thanks for that and directions, Hairball.

What about the Holly Crest Hotel, for LA, near LAX?

~"Love is Strong"~

The typical Stones show attender these days is a 20 year old with his girlfriend Sandy, who just wanna see The Stones at least once before they fold. He doesn`t care about new songs, just wanna hear those tried and tested warhorses. A rarity like "Feel On Baby" would just mean to go for the toilet.

Wonder what the odds are they'll play "Living In A Ghost Town" at least once.. (and drop if it doesn't work)

I think it has real potential to be great live, a bit of an Out Of Control vibe.

I'm counting on them playing that one, MisterDDDD.

The played Doom and Gloom at every concert from 2012-2014. Considering how successful Ghost Town was, I'm sure they will play it at every concert of the tour.

Ha, that's funny. I just read a comment by someone who posted that it was a great show.

If they do at all, it would prolly be in the opener where they sometimes get "adventurous" and try a number or two that they soon drop. Such as Back of My Hand at ABB in Boston, Neighbours in Dublin 2018, and Monkey Man in Chicago 2019.
