yeah, no touching moment in the show, just fast rockers (see Stuttgart)

I think it is incomprehensible how anyone can still hang on to the belief that there is nothing wrong with the big picture. Thjat is just naive. never, ever have there been so many hardcore fans giving voice to major dissappointment with the band. To the point where people are saying "Ive had enough after a lifetime of being a fan, i give up". If it was ONE guy who says it, or two, but it is one after another every day. Look at the board; at the topics, This is not a happy home. The Stones really f*cked up.

"...no longer shall you trudge 'cross my peaceful mind."

The last 16 years we saw the Stones all over the world, in sold out stadiums.
The Bigger Bang tour is mention to be the tour with the most unsold shows, that's why they cancelled lots of shows.
They don't think about the fans who spend lot's of money and time to see the Stones, they just cancelled a few hours before the show, all the money for non refundable airplane tickets is gone, and not just 1 time but several times.
(Barcelona and Madrid, Brussels, 2nd show Amsterdam) okay they refund the price of the ticket but the bookingfee's are gone.
Nobody forced them to do this tour, but if you make an announcement for the tourdates then you have to do the show, if it's sold out or not.
We wait for the confirmation of the Honolulu show, we book our flights and hotel, we would take the Dodger Stadium too, now if they are rescheduled the LA show, then we're in Honolulu. So no shows at all.
I'll think the last show of the Stones that I have been see is Horsens.
It should be nice if the management (Michael Cohl) of the Stones would think a little bit on the diehard fans.

It´s just in the top 10 of the hihgest attended tours
because of the 1,5 million from Rio. There were times when
they broke attendance records with high but not ridiculously
high prices. And, yes, there were many stadiums not packed.
Empty is the wrong word.

As long as they treat the fans as customers I want
serious and quick answers. Btw, they cancelled half the tour
of Europe after the recovery of Keith.

Climbing trees prior to a European leg is stupid.

Read my post again. packed means "sold out" to me.
Due to high prices they didn´t sell out the US leg
and most of Europe. My point: If they lowered the
prices the stadiums
would have been packed. I want them to leave
(sooner or later)
with a tour that was 100% successfull. For the archives.

They really have f#ucked up......Tickets are still on sale for 11/18 and 11/22 and tickets are still being sold as of today. They havent made anything offical, if this isnt f@cked I dont know what is................
