help me!

the three shows i've identified, for someone in the US interested in checking out the fall tour are

1. beacon theatre (dream..any thoughts on how tickets will be sold? the beacon is pretty darn small!)
2. atlantic city (arena 13,000 capacity)
3. vegas (arena 17,000 capacity)

i am on the east coast .. my guess is the easiest more doable thing will be to get on a plane to vegas..the atlantic city show will be a hot ticket because of all the people coming down from new york and philly...

they're not going to play Madison Square Garden

oh one more..talked to a friend who was in munich at stones show..told me they sounded great and keith was particularly intelligible on his set and sounded great!.. he was pretty excited.... so there you have it ....

pretty boring

Vegas tickets were available last time around, and should be again. Front floors are almost impossible for the Vegas and Atlantic City shows because they are held by the casinos. That said, there ain't nothing wrong with most seats in an Arena.

Start saving now! I'm sure there'll be plenty on ebay if you've got $5000 spare to spend...

unfortunately, Beacon show will be about as adventurous as the Radio City one earlier in the tour - in other words - NOT

It would take some real big balls for them to finally do another theater show and then go against the grain of the types of songs they have been known to play at that type of a show..The Radio City show was different as it involved charitable donations but,we all know that and you could be right considering the Stones recent habits.

there's no way they bother to learn/rehearse something special for one gig, is all I'm saying....

>there's no way they bother to learn/rehearse something special for one gig, is all I'm saying....


Maybe but they did for Shepherd's Bush ("Moon Is Up", "Melody"). And the '97 Toronto club show ("Shame Shame Shame"). And Hyde Park ("I'm Yours, She's Mine"). And Altamont ("The Sun Is Shining"). There's probably other examples (Paradiso? Brixton?).

that was then, this is now

>that was then, this is now

I hear you, but there are examples from Licks as well.

sure but Licks was set up from the beginning to have special songs dedicated to the theater shows. not so on this Victory Lap Tour

maybe they'll add some more theater dates. i just can't believe they'll play soldier field again. i'll just have to get my on stage seats from last time.

As a matter of interest did anyone keep their pre May 9th fanclub code - might come in handy now!

Uh... another SOURCE. Goddamit. I'll wait untill Monday - when The Stones are releasing a press statement...

Boardwalk Hall is not in a casino... if the show is in a casino yea they hold tixs for comps but thats not the case here...

but they will be tough to get anyway because of NY & Philly people...just a short drive from both places...

thats a great pix of sammy and frank

i will wait to see the announcement of the dates i guess..

if its down , here's luck 2 u & me gettin tics

Don't count out MSG. They'll probably add at least one show there. You'll be able to get tickets for MGM. Tickets are sold in the hotel lobby, if you don't get them before leaving (try ebay if all else fails..you can do OK there). Stay at the MGM (very convenient), party at Zuri's (in the casino) before the show and you'll have a blast in Vegas! Save your pennies for the Beacon starting yesterday, you'll get in. The Radio City show earlier this year was one of the best Stones shows I've had!

And really no club gigs in Europe??

I'm moving to NYC next week actually. I was really hoping to get to see them this fall. Do u think it would be really hard to get a ticket to the Beacon show that is under $100?? What about MSG if it happens?

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

sorry... the answer is IMPOSSIBLE

i am guessing there will be no tixs under $100 at the Beacon, the place only holds about 2500 people... i bet tixs will be in the range of the RC show $1000 and up...

about MSG, if its sold out... dont try and scalp outside, they are very good at counterfeiting up there...

good luck in NYC... bite the big apple... dont mind the maggots...ever see the movie Midnight Cowboy???

dont get me wrong, im in NJ, i luv NYC i grew up like 20 mins from the Lincoln Tunnel... but to live in this town you must be ... not tough really, not anymore replace those words with RICH RICH RICH RICH RICH

For what it's worth,they said theater shows would cost $50 a ticket.

What are the theater set lists looking like?

The past theater set lists looked good - real good but,I'm sure they haven't decided on a set list for this one yet.Who knows these days?
