But this would mean no Stones concerts before the very end of June! They minimum need 2 weeks of rehearsals and 1 week for dress rehearsals and rest! That has been the case for many years now!
Btw where did you read about Steve Jordan participating on the German dates in June?

A June start is what I heard from another source just yesterday.

I wonder what, if any, effect the economy will have on ticket sales the longer the delay in the tour is. I'm guessing none really, since most other bands seems to be selling incredibly well with insane ticket prices.

Stones PR are top class, like the rest of their management. They do want to own the moment of an announcement. A new tour - with a new album to be backed - need at least one week of focus on its own, first teasers, then a date of announcing the tour, then pre-sales, then actual sales. It is a time frame of 1-2 weeks where they are expecting a LOT of focus.
Just take a look at the calendar, and see if something else is happening now. It does not make any sense to do other large announcements taking away focus from own PR events. I know many want the tour/album announcement today or tomorrow, but they are not expected to start touring until June at the earliest, as far as I understand.
Back in 2005 this was the schedule:
May 6 : Press conference invitation to press
May 10 : Press conference with announcement at Juilliard NYC
Jul 14 : Tour rehearsals start in Toronto Canada
Jul 25 : A Bigger Bang album and tour name announced
Aug 10 : Phoenix Toronto club show
Aug 21 : Tour start in Boston
They were 18 years younger in 2005. The past few years announcements have tended to be 2-3 months ahead of tour start. Even if I wish they could announce now, I do realize they do not need to announce anything for still some time.

Paul McCartney and the Rolling Stones seem to have no problem selling items (Tickets too?) for high prices: Vinyl-Singles-Box for $600 or Teddy Bears for $400 ....

Yes, it was someone who posted that on Shidoobee.
Could well be that Steve is only with Cray in the US.
And Cray's own website has this lineup for the band:Quote

To be honest, nowhere in the article i read a word about Steve touring with Robert. All i read is Steven talking about the album he produced for Cray. Or am i missing something ?

If they'll touring US & Canada in June/July then, when they could touring South America?!I think it's very unlikely that after only three months or so they can touring SA in November till Mid December...Maybe only 7/8 show or so ((+3 Brazil, +3 Argentina, +2 Mexico).
It is very unlikely a SA in early 2024 too, if they'll need touring Europe in summer.
What are your prevision about a possible SA Tour?

Topi, that one you're heard of, was about the tour in US or Europe?

Hi guys,
I'm new here, 29 years with the Stones. It's not easy to dig deeper into this topic, however still trying...
Could anyone kindly summarize what are current 'rumours' according to your 'sources' and possibilities of The Band touring in Europe in 2023 (Summer)?
I see most of your 'predictions' are for North America this year?

Everything is a 'rumour'. No one 'knows' anything. Check out the 'new album' post. Over 600 pages and 'no one' knows 'anything'.

bv has repeatedly hinted that north america this summer is what there doing first
but there have been lots of rumours about south america as well for the end of the year
i haven't read any rumours about europe for awhile
i would guess probably summer 2024 would be your best bet
