The real reason why the Stones only play shows every four days is to give some of us time to travel from city to city and do the laundry in between;-)
I have followed every show this tour but only seen two in person (HP2/ Bruxelles, Amsterdam got cancelled and then I had to cancel the rescheduled show).
In June I went to Amsterdam by train on showday, hotel, and then back next morning by train.
London by train, too - the Eurostar is the best way to get to London for me - but arrived the day before showday and left the morning after the concert.
To Bruxelles we took the car, as it was cheaper and more suitable and me and a friend where going there together, whereas Amsterdam (June 13th) and London it did on my own.
All hotels and even the train to London were booked before the official tour announcement and before I even had tickets. For Amsterdam, Bruxelles and Gelsenkirchen I bought Lucky Dips, otherwise I would have been just one show for me.
I would have loved to follow this tour completely, but I wouldn't know how to afford that.

It's simply not there. Follow the route to Bielefeld, if you use the motorway/ Autobahn A2 and take the exit to Bielefeld - you won't find a town there because there is none.
May some single houses, maybe the odd barn, but certainly not town or city.
When German people say they are from Bielefeld it's because they don't want to reveal their real hometown.
It's as simple as that, just a joke that has been going on for a few decades now.
There is no Bielefeld. It's something like the Alan Smithee of cities.

From where do you go to the shows?
