60th anniversary and worst production ever. This must be a bad dream. Yes music is the number one reason to go...but still...They are The Rolling Stones.

Never were tickets this expensive in Europe.
So if you pay €150 for the cheapest seats you’ll not only hear the sound of a bunker but you’ll have to watch a screen the size of a gameboy.

The stage is probably built to tour the world. Easy to get to remote places, which is great news for the SIXTY tour when it comes to those who do not live in Central Europe and North America, where they have been touring so far since 2017.
The vider graphics are great, I saw them as I did the last Club Atlético Madrid stadium tour before the team tour closed until after the show, my tour was at 1:30pm Friday May 27. By then the stage was quite ready, and they were running the new graphics up on the screens.
The design concept is reminding me of the stage they had in Buenos Aires and some other far travel places 2006, see images in the BA report here:

I think that at least in Germany the tickets are actually a bit cheaper this time around, compared to 2017 and 2018?

It’s a bit like the FlintStones.

Looks like it could have been the stage from the aborted 1985 tour.

I am not talking about the dynamically priced TopSeats, I am talking about face value ticket prices. Apologies, should have been clear on that, but that's just my default setting. Face value pits this year are, what, 530€?

My objection to this stage is that it is cheap and tawdry and does not justify the high ticket prices. I remember Mick did an interview - around Steel Wheels or Voodoo Lounge - where he was saying that it was okay to charge a lot if you gave value for money with a great production, and so with the amazing Steel Wheels or Voodoo Lounge stage the high price was justified. But this time around we are paying the highest prices ever for a cheap tacky stage with tiny screens. Looking back at the 2014 stage and the Maris show in particular, I was struck by hale massive the screens were the compared to the “game boy” screens this time around. I hope Mick and/or the Stones camp read this chat and thunk about redesigning the stage (they have done this before - eg the changes to the backdrop on the Licks tour).

But how do you know the center screen isn't huge?
And I think we should wait and see how this stage is in action – during a show – before we reach a verdict

Yes, that’s true - and from what I can see the centre screen does look pretty big. Ok I will wait to see how it goes on Wednesday night
