yes, press section

Does anybody have any info regarding the Portuguese and the south of Spain concerts???

No habla espangnol, ni portugese!

Hannover (even FOS), Berlin, Koln and Stuttgart ticket still available!

Paris should be sold out . Currently, 90 % < x < 95 %

For Paris there are still 4630 tickets to be exact! So that is 6,25%. So PHD is correct!

For Nice still 5241 tickets available!

So that makes a grand total of 9871 tickets for France!

Since 9 july they sold 209 tickets for the 2 concerts in France, an average of 42 tickets a day.

were are the days that they sold Bois de Vincenne out in matter of hours!

bart.

They are releasing more tickets.

Have been watching TN fr and SDF.

Carre Or was down to 155 tickets, couple of days later it went up to 215.

Category 1 the same down to 119 ,now sitting at 186.

There is no way to tell how many tickets they have left to sell or are selling for that show unless you sit watching 24hrs a day.

Tomorrow I will take an SN Brussels flight to Munich and I will see for my self if the olypiastadium is sold out or not an d how large the FOS area is!

See you there?

I just made a sign "JAGGER REFUND MY 871,80 EURO" for the Munich concert. That's the amount I still am waiting to get back from the 7 concerts for which I had tickets, but where cancelled!

WHEN DO WE GET OUR MONEY BACK????????????????????????????????

I have followed ticket sales in Cologne: - one day, the show is almost sold out, and then all of sudden there are more tickets left - seems like the promoter make room / open up for more tickets, if the demand is high enough... it happened both with the seating area and on the field....

The Stones never played at The Bois de Vincennes. To be accurate,they sold out Paris I ( 3rd June ) and for Paris II, there were only less than 8,000 tix before the cancellation, which means 80,000 + 72,000 tickets : 152,000 tix in total. Parc des Princes : 150,000 ; Longchamps : 150,000, Auteuil : 130,000.
As you might know, on Friday 28th, French are all in vacation. It is the worst day in the year. I know more than 20 people who were to attend I or II and can't make it to vacation plans.

That's pretty funny.

I bought Hannover FOS yesterday. Got it today.
Guy's really fair.
He still got four left. Wants EUR 99 each:

[cgi.ebay.de]

He's really deseperate. Has got best seating tickets, That'd cost EUR 200 each. He offers them doublepacked starting at EUR 1 !

Many ticket traders got laid this time. Go to ebay.de for German tickets. You'll find every concert. FOS? No problem! Just wait until five or four days before the show. Then you get a good deal.

Cheers from Germany,
Cyrill

Don't pay one single Euro above face value for any Stones ticket in Europe to scalpers. It is a waste of money! May be some Euro to cover fees etc but not doube price. There are many people who are stuck with extra tickets on show day so you can make a deal if you have the nerve to wait until show day.

OOPS, Longchamps indeed!!!
Sorry.

Well said.

As since we now know that FOS means FHP (Front Half of the Pitch), don't pay any premium for FOS.

what about New York in October?

I think it is well worth paying the extra 20 or so Euro they charge for the FOS, because it is a big difference in being in the first third part of the venue vs. in the other end. Three times better but not three times more expensive like in the US.

not in Europe and not sold out yet! ;-)



Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 2006-07-16 01:31 by Gazza.

So 100 USD extra to get a FOS ticket that is 20 Euros more expencive and if you are not in front of the gates before noon, your'e in the back with the paseants anyway.

I only hit the tarmac in Munich at 17u40. So another 110 Euro's down the drain.

THX to Jagger LTD.
If it isn't the stones last tour, it's mine for sure. (60 concerts between june 25th 1982 and today). The last 8 are coming up!

Thye should come back to the States where they are more appreciated. We pay and they sell out all all shows

Yeah and Gothenburg which was sold out and cancelled!
That is not appreciated. WE payed 7 months in advance
and what did we get? Nothing!

No appreciation from the band I give you that!

Been Stoned since 1964 and still am!

Brussels sold out in 5 hours, result: NO SHOW! Nada, ZIP, nougabollen!

Yes, I think there is one UK show in particular that is near as dammit sold out completely - Twickers 1 on the 20th.

Sorry Bro, you just made my point: one UK show is 'NEAR AS' which is not at all 'COMPLETLY'.

And this after 7 months of triyng to sell it out.

Add to this that the scalpers bought way to many tickets (hope they go finally brook) and you got holes in the their and pitch during the concert.

Since 1982 I saw at least 1 show in Londen every tour, but this time I have to pass because of the fact that its much more expansive than on the continent. When are the Britts going to come a member of the Eurozone! About time I would say.

On eventime.de,Munich and Hannover are closed since 3 days. Does that mean it's sold out on this official channel or simply they do not sell tickets because too short a delay before the concert dates ?

<<<<<<< Sorry Bro, you just made my point: one UK show is 'NEAR AS' which is not at all 'COMPLETLY' >>>>>>>>>

Sorry bro, I haven't made any point at all. Just because you can suddenly buy tickets a few weeks before a show and many many months after tickets first went on sale DOES NOT ACTUALLY TELL YOU ANYTHING about overall sales. What it DOES tell you is that whoever is selling the tickets in only releasing seats for sale in chunks over a very very long period of time. And if you don't think this is the case, then please explain how I was able to buy my FRONT ROW seats for Glasgow on 2nd december 2005, but yet a pair of SECOND row seats as recently as 12th July 2006. Both sales were achieved through the major retailer in the UK of all Stones tickets, namely Ticketmaster.

So please don't kid yourself that just because you can still buy things late in the day that this is an indication of overall sales. It plainly isn't. The true extent of overall sales will be what you see around you in the stadium come showtime .......... either empty seats - or occupied seats. Simple as that.
