GERMANY SALES
-------------------------

Poor Sales Up Today

because:
- Ticket prices are too high ! "0- 30% more expensive than 2003 !!
- And there are only stadion shows in Germany !!
And there are more than 5.000.000. people out of work in Germmany (80.000.000 Einwohner)

THEREFORE:
Result up today:
- Hardcore Fans bought FOS and the best places (scalpers too)
- Therefore FOS is sold out

Marketing Result 1 in the next 3 month:
- They will try to sell tickets about special packages (sponsors etc.)
- Cheap transfer + hotel
- Ceap hanndy selling + Stones
- Cheap Internet + Stones
and so on ............

But this will not be enaugh and therefore

Marketing Result 1 in 4 month:
- There will be a very good second band on stage like AC/DC in 2003
I hope "ACDC" will come again or "Tote Hosen" or "Cream" or "ZZ Top" or

"football -soccer- friend Rod Stewart" ???

Marketing Result 1 in the next month:
- They will sell normal standing tickets about special packages (sponsors etc.)
much cheaper than today

- Die Gedanken sind frei .........

Why do you think there are poor sales?

2002/3 only Munic Olympiahalle and Zirkus Krone were sold out in the first few days, but not really sold out, there were ticks all the way, right to the days events happens. All the other places never have been sold out.

But this is the right way to earn most money: First sell the stuff for a high price, create a little hype, sell more ticks for high prices, then start some other PR and at last, give away the little rest of ticks to the poor fans sitting on the fence.

This is the best working marketing and money-maschine.

Ok, they can sell out more stadium-shows by lower prices, but to earn the same money-result, the Stones would have to play double of concerts, too.

But the don't waist there time by doing this ... ;-)

Hi Highwire,

all tickets/places except often FOS you can buy up today.
Only FOS maybe sold out for several concerts.

Und Deine Germany Vergleiche:
2003
- Olymppiahalle 2003 > 12.000 tickets / capicity
- Zirkus Krone 2003 > 4500 tickets / capicity

2006
- all stadions between 40.000. up to 70.0000 tickets / capicity

BUT:
Wir sind ja derselben Meinung:
- Money makes the world go round - Wer zu spät kommt den bestraft das Leben (who comes too late get punished in life)

RESULT:
Die MARKETING Actions werden kommen, teilweise funktionieren und die Stadien zu 70- 80% auslasten.
This Marketing will work ...

BUT THINK:
IF STONES had offered CHEAPER lPrices from beginning sales .......they will get MORE or SAME money and ALL FANS will got more SATISFACTION ...

And I Think:

This MUST be Right Marketing For the last Tour !!

marketing maschine has already begonnen! heard a werbung on the radio! they already promote das leipzig conzert!they`ll sicher senken die preise vorher! otherwise the statiums will be leer!

Don't forget: they were already here in 2003. For those prizes, all people except for the hardcore fans are like: "didn't I see them just 2 years ago?".

More like 2500, I'd say.

They will not sell out stadiums until showday.
So they can attack the scalpers by offering tickets from first day until showtime.
That`s why the offer fos tickets from time to time within 6 months, like they did it with Licks.
Maybe no more fos tix avalable today...but probably some days in march...some days in April and so on.
I think the german shows will be almost sold out...about 90 %...which would be great success.
