Just went on Ticketmaster, none of the shows is close to being sold out except LA, which has a ton of resale tickets available.
I know Vancouver was originally sold out but then...
I'm actually surprised that Elton John is pretty much sold out at BC Place after playing 3 shows in Vancouver already across the street at Rogers Arena.

After the Charlie debacle,l think this may be tour where there will be plenty of seats left at showtime,it may be a shame that their last tour is full of empty seats. We will see.....

I think you're giving too much credit to the crowd at a stadium show. I don't think the average person who hopes they play Jumpin Jack Flash that night will notice who's behind the drum kit.

I think ticket prices will drop over time as well. Between the rescheduling and the "The Wattless Stones" I think much of their tour following has been lost. Especially those coming from overseas

How many from overseas are in a crowd of 60,000? 100? 1,000?
Sorry, but that won’t make a difference.

I am one of those "overseas", from the old Europe and I would like to deliver a message, Me who attended to 83 Stones shows in my life.
For the Rolling Stones, I crossed the Atlantic in 1989, in 1994, in 1998, in 2003, in 2013, in 2015 and in 2019.
I had a ticket for Vancouver but I was refunded. In 2021, I will clearly stay at home, even if I was allowed to enter in the US with my vaccination pass (Johnson & Johnson).
Chicago 1 and Chicago 2 will probably be my last Stones concerts.
What should going to happen in the next few weeks by September is for me a SHAME.
Touring without Charlie is a batrayal. And starting the tour with a private show, I have no words...
As already wrote, NO CHARLIE = NO STONES.
When Bill left in 1993, things were totally different, many of us were sad, and of course he had to be replaced.
When Bobby died in 2015, things were also totally different, first he was not a member of the band, just one of the original sidemen and his death was not marking the end of the Rolling Stones. So he was replaced and we all continued having great pleasure by hearing Brown Sugar in live. The show must go on.
But without Charlie, that is another story, THIS IS A BITRAYAL.
If that 2021 tour had finally to be cancelled for a reason or another, I think that it would be fine, for Charlie. And then he could sing "the hand of fate is on me now"....
Do you remember all of us shouting during minutes when Mick was presenting the band "CHARLIE CHARLIE CHARLIE CHARLIE CHARLIE CHARLIE CHARLIE CHARLIE CHARLIE" ? I will be ashamed of myself by participating to this bad joke without Charlie...

From USA Today:
Large outdoor gatherings are safer than large indoor gatherings, but experts still warn that COVID-19 can be transmitted outside, especially in crowds.
“The main challenge there is going to be that any attendee won't know everyone else's vaccination status, and we are seeing that delta is much more transmissible than previous versions of COVID.
And so even if it’s a small proportion of people that are infected, the chance of it transmitting is going to be higher.” - Elizabeth Stuart, vice dean for education in the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health

Keith said recently in one of those ask Keith sessions that Bill was the best rock n roll bassist. Which Keith is telling the truth? I’d say this one is.Keith said they didn’t pick Wayne Perkins because they were an English band.Now they have black bass player and drummer

And this is why I hope the concert is mask mandated. At the very least since they probably won’t do vaccination mandated. I don’t know but after the Delta surge, people given the option to go without masks and now CW dropping out… I‘ll probably sell my tickets. Holding out a bit longer hoping Covid restrictions are set in place. So far they seem pretty weak.

What's that supposed to mean? Who cares what color they are. So if they were white would you say that?

Sometimes I wonder why the Stones keep touring at their age, since I'm sure they all have more money than they will ever need. Often, I think it is because there are a ton of people who make a living in all of the various roles surrounding the tours. Do you think they do it for them?

As if a mask mandate will stick. Who's going to police 50,000+ people wearing masks once they're inside? Dream on.....

I do not understand the bitterness for the tour without Charlie. I predict many of those who are “selling their tix” will end up going anyway.
I am sure the band prefers Charlie too but this is where we are. I am glad they are trying to get this tour in this fall.
