In order to buy my FOS tickets for paris june 3rd, I also paid a $100 fee for the fanclub presale. Today I sent my tickets back to get my refund :-((
Last monday I received this email from ticketnet.fr
----- Dear Rolling Stones Fan ,
The first replacement show is already confirmed : Friday July 28th at Stade of France.
To follow upon our preceding email, we inform you that Rolling Stones Fan Club tickets will be available via PreSale from Tuesday June 20th 10:00AM until Thursday June 22th 17:00PM - ALL TIMES ARE LOCAL.
RollingStones.com will send you an email in order to give you the details on how to access the ticket PreSale
Warning : You couldn't access to the Stade de France on July 28th with your tickets of June 03rd and July 02nd (both concert and parking). These aren't valid.
You must send us by now by registered secured mail, the original tickets of concert and possibly the tickets of parking (carefully kept a photocopy of the tickets) to the following address : blablabla ----
I didn't receive an email or presale acces code and even the mentioned presale has already ended.
Who has already received some news or codes from the fanclub?
Where can you already buy new FOS tickets?
I'm a very disappointed RS fan, 3 of 6 shows are cancelled/postponed! Even my onstage experience!

I think it is unbelievable. Two concerts merged, and still FOS tickets left! These Paris concert must have sold very slow too, just like A'dam and some of the German shows.
Well, anyway, I will be there in Paris, Pelouse Debout.
The first Stade de France on June 6th sold out very fast. But the second show did not sell very well. It seems a lot of people who intended to go to one of either show will not go to the rescheduled show, as they are pissed off or not available on july 28th (family holidays arranged a few months earlier, with accomodation booking, etc.).
June is a very bad time to sell tickets as people are mostly thinking about their summer holidays with their family - one hundred euro can be useful if holiday budget is tight. Also re-arranging summer holidays in june is very difficult as most companies require summer holidays to be declared before may.
Next week remaining tickets (that is, returned tickets) will be sold to the public. We'll see how it goes, but if it doesn't sell well, I guess Paris 2007 will not happen.
The link is not the link to the presale but the link given to TicketNet web ticket holders from the Public Sales so they can purchase new tickets. Open since two weeks or so.
Absolutely correct, Gwen. The link is only available to those who previously had tickets. Now, for the sale of the 2 postponed concerts : the first was sold out fast, for the second were available on Ticketnet and FranceBillet an approximate of 8,000 tix 2 monthes ago. In other words : 152,000 tickets sold. Were they sold to the end-customer is another question as I was told thaousands times on this board.
The only risk is to see your order cancelled - I bet their only worry now is just to sell out this july show, they won't check too much whether you had tickets for the first show or not.
