There's a 19,000-seat arena right next door, or if they should choose NOLA for a theatre show,
there's a freshly renovated venue on Canal Street as well as another larger theatre that will be finished renovating by 2013, both just steps from the French Quarter.
Actually, the arena was rumored for a March 2006 show, listed here on IORR, but removed after the hurricane.
Ironically, there was a Billy Graham Crusade that took place on that date in March, '06.
It was even listed on rs.com for a short while.

I had the experience for Berlin i.e. (which might also be true for London): each band that makes just a one stop in Germany choses Berlin. This results in too many shows of great bands in Berlin that these shows do not sell out very often. Three shows in Berlin are most likely not to sell as locals might not go there out whereas 5 (arena?) shows spread accross Germany would most likely.
Doing let's say 5 sholw per continent in one city: here the shows might sell out by hard core fans traveling to London or Berlin or wherever...
Gazza, I've never been to a London show. Tell me this, are their pricing structures the same in UK as in USA? For example a $300.00usd ticket here would be 191gpb?

No, not at all, (well.compared with 5 - 200, yes) but 1 show would obviously be better than none - which sometimes seems like it's going to be - but I figured that after the issues of Mick and Keith's friendship or not and working togethor the next thing is Keith's playing. If Mick thinks it's good enough to go out for even a handful of shows - sic - (as was sugggested in the Daily Mirror/Mail rags) then it stands to reason that it would be good enough for a good few more. The question then is stamina, I'm guessing of course but given their age maybe 9 months on the road would be acceptable but another 2 years (even with gaps)....well imo they'll be veritable supermen if they pull that off......so.......50 - if they can do anything at all, which is definitely a question, I'd say 50 is a reasoned estimate of what might be............but if it's only 5 it's only 5, we all had a superb run....................the fat lady sings and thanks for the fish as they say......................

I am no fan of Atlanta myself, but your choice of words here is very unfortunate. I'll leave it at that.
£150 for the top priced ticket for the UK shows....most of the 02 tickets were in that category.
Thats not as much as you'd pay for the top price in the US ($450) but by UK and European standards its pretty much on a similar pro rata level, ie way above what most top range rock acts would charge.
The front few rows on the floor at the 02 didnt go on sale to the public (or to fan club members) but were siphoned off for expensive fan packages like fanasylum, so effectively the only way you could get a seat down front would be to pay about five or ten times what the 'official' category A ticket price was.
The 02 shows were close to selling out, but there were probably a few left and tickets generally weren't that hard to get.
By contrast, Prince - who isnt really the draw that the Stones are - played 21 shows at the same venue around the same time, and more or less sold them out. The vast majority of his tickets went for £31.21 although there were a few prime seats in and around the stage in the middle of the floor that were around the £200 range.
In short, no band is going to be able to sell multiple nights at an arena sized venue in any major city unless they make a sizeable percentage of their tickets affordable to the sort of 'casual' fan that they would need to attract to fill a venue for more than one night. Even U2 - the biggest concert draw in the world - realise that.
If the Stones were to play the 02 and sell maybe two thirds (12,000 or so) of the tickets for about £50, whilst charging, say, £100 for 5,000 tickets and about £200+ for the best one thousand seats, they could probably fill it about 6-10 nights and gross about £1.3 million per show.
However, ten nights anywhere would take them 3 weeks to play in 2007 and realistically a month now. I really dont think the inclination is there to spend months on the road together.

Very true! I am not a big Prince fan but I respect his music. When he came to L.A. last year and played all those shows, I saw him twice for $25 (ea.). Under normal circumstances, I most likely would not have gone at all. (But am I glad I did!)
I would not go see the Stones at Jazz Fest, and I live within walking distance of the Fair Grounds.
The crowd for Springsteen there was too much, and I couldn't get close enough to even see a video monitor.
Many people in NOLA were complaining vehemently about the over-crowding at the main stage.
hmm, maybe I should think twice about my plans to go to NOJF in 2013.
Yeah I am just figuring out it's a bit smaller festival than some of the others listed. Also he got paid a six figure sum, well less than he would make even playing an arena in the region. The Stones wouldn't even stop and wave for that amount.
That's not a reason not to go to Jazz Fest.
The rest of the festival grounds are great, and easily accessible.
That experience I had with Springsteen was the first time I couldn't see even from the back of the crowd.
Even if you don't go to the festival grounds, the nighttime performances in the clubs around town will keep you busy for two solid weeks.
haven't been to new orleans yet, but from what i hear, it's similar to austin in that they are both great cities for live music (austin being the best, naturally) butto be avoided when the big fests come around...acl, sxsw....and so forth....
Now that might be the plan!
There's also talk that they might move Jazz Fest to the new festival site that is being built in City Park.
I think only Voodoo Fest is confirmed for the new site, which is larger than the Fair Grounds, but they really need to get Jazz Fest to more spacious grounds.
the '72 show wasn't good enough for you?
Talk about your favorite band.

I think that IF they tour, they will play about 50 shows or a birt more.
Since the band needs a lot of rehearsals, they won't rehearse unless they play a reasonable amount of shows afterwards.
I'd bet for less cities with more shows :
NYC - 5
Chicago - 2
Dallas - 3
LA - 5
Seattle - 2
Toronto - 3
Montreal - 2
Rio
Buenos Aires
Tokyo - 5
Hong Kong - 2
Sydney - 3
Dubai - 2
Amsterdam - 5
Paris - 2
Berlin - 3
Moscow - 2
Munich - 3
Rome - 2
Dublin - 3
London - 5 to 10 ?

Three shows in Dublin?
5 to 10 in London? A city where they couldnt sell out three arena shows in 2007?
Where do people think the public demand and revenue is coming from to fill multiple nights at the prices the Stones charge?
The ONLY way they'll be able to play multi-night stands in arenas in any city is if they dramatically change their pricing structures. They couldnt do it last time anywhere either - when they added more arena shows in places like New York and LA, they did so several months after the original couple of dates. It was necessary to spread the dates out like that, in order to give people's wallets time to recover.
And if we're talking stadiums, then its an even more unrealistic concept.

I didn't mention the kind of venues, all I said is multiple nights without travelling.
I'm not from Dublin but I like the city so maybe I overrated it.
2 shows in Rome may also be quite ambitious.
Amsterdam could be Rotterdam (Ahoy) etc...
My prediction needs some fine tuning but that's the biggest thing I can "reasonably" anticipate...
2007 was the follow up of 2006 and a well marketed final tour could bring them to a long residency in London : 10x RAH or 5x the O2...
Of course, the prices have to be "reasonable" i.e. not higher than 2005/6/7

When the question first came up about Touring Keith said doing multiple dates in certain cities. Letting the fans come to them. Atlanta was mentioned. They usually do two shows here. They filmed the video for "Streets of Love" here back in Oct '05.They always do well here. Of the 14 shows I have seen since '69, the '02 show is by far my favorite. Just watching the Stones have a blast. When they played on the B-Stage, just the looks on their faces make the show. Bras flying up on to the Stage. Mick draping one of the Mike stand.Just pure enjoyment.

Well we have lost them in Atlanta forever. All the civil rights spooks have one hand out and the other in your back pocket. They are very well known for that.

That experience I had with Springsteen was the first time I couldn't see even from the back of the crowd.
Even if you don't go to the festival grounds, the nighttime performances in the clubs around town will keep you busy for two solid weeks.

April 27 New Orleans Jazz
I would not go see the Stones at Jazz Fest, and I live within walking distance of the Fair Grounds.
The crowd for Springsteen there was too much, and I couldn't get close enough to even see a video monitor.
Many people in NOLA were complaining vehemently about the over-crowding at the main stage.
hmm, maybe I should think twice about my plans to go to NOJF in 2013.
That's not a reason not to go to Jazz Fest.
The rest of the festival grounds are great, and easily accessible.
That experience I had with Springsteen was the first time I couldn't see even from the back of the crowd.
Even if you don't go to the festival grounds, the nighttime performances in the clubs around town will keep you busy for two solid weeks.
haven't been to new orleans yet, but from what i hear, it's similar to austin in that they are both great cities for live music (austin being the best, naturally) butto be avoided when the big fests come around...acl, sxsw....and so forth....

Now that might be the plan!

There's also talk that they might move Jazz Fest to the new festival site that is being built in City Park.
I think only Voodoo Fest is confirmed for the new site, which is larger than the Fair Grounds, but they really need to get Jazz Fest to more spacious grounds.

I doubt they would want to play any of the mentioned PIGS countries due to the poor economies! Doubt many in Athens or Madrid could afford to pay huge ticket prices.
I'm sure that will be the biggest concern for Michael Cohl, who will most certainly be the tour promotor, what are the economies of all the countries going to be like next year?
