Re: Will there be an european tour ??

I have a feeling the US parts of the tour have always been more interesting than de European ones. Moneywise that is, because arena tours are a bigger market in the US and they might have been put down by the European stadium thing over 2006 and especially 2007.

Of course, high ticket prices will have contributed to anything but sell-out stadiums back then, with €110 tickets.

Still, if a 40.000 stadium sells 25.000 seats * €110 it grosses 2.750.000. If they had to charge an average of €60 for selling out, it would have brought in €2.400.000. So financially they will have done alright in 2007.

But this doesn't make up for the fact that in 2007 selling tickets appeared very, very hard. Remember the stages being turned 90 degrees in almost all German cities?

And there wasn't even a recession on back then.

I remember this very well, when (in Dusseldorf) I had payd 190,- EURO for 4th row, next to Keith.

The way they turned it round 90 degrees, I had to choose between 96th row Ronnie side or 4 rows away from the B-stage which turned out to be...well, uhm...I threw a Marlboro packet , and Keith grabbed it (while Jagger was moaning) and that was the funny bit. The music was about 6 seconds delayed - total chaos!!

But if you pay 190 EURO for the 4th row, it´s a bit disappointing to be pushed around without ANY refund!

And there wasn't even a recession on back then.

A European, please! Since Mighty mentioned that sources close to the band sometimes read these pages: May I suggest the newly built Friends Arena in Stockholm? The venue has a total capacity of 65,000 at concerts and 50,000 seated at football matches. From Wikipedia: "The stadium has a retractable roof, enabling events to take place during the winter season and to host indoor entertainment shows. The facade of the arena can be lit up in 17 millions different color schemes. For example, the stadium is lit up in blue and yellow when Sweden's national team is playing matches. Friends Arena is a UEFA Category 4 stadium, and the natural turf pitch measures 105 x 68 metres. In the middle of the stadium roof, a 240 square metres big media cube is placed where the attendance can follow what is happening. In addition, 647 LED-screens are installed throughout the facility to enhance the guest experience". Bruce Springsteen will play there three times (3,4 and 11th) during the month of May.

I rather see them at tele2 arena which, opening up in July.

I think they may do some selected arenas in those countries which can stand tickets in the 200 EUR minimum mark

So, Germany then...

There are strong rumours of dates in Australia. The promotor of the December concerts is the owner of the Allphones arena in Sydney so it would make sense. Maybe they will do it in combination with the south America dates.

Cheers,

I don't think so. Unless you count the two shows in Hyde Park as a tour.

If they would considder touring or making some stops in European cities they first have to find the promotor and 2nd the ticket prices again will be a big cry in the dark. To put already a mini tour like this on the board is more than I ever expected after the last years 5 concerts. I also think that they will see how the ticket situation works with the 85$ thing and the more expensive tickets. I think it's a very fair chance to either book and pay and you get your seat or you're excited of what you get for 85$

I wanted to do all the west coast concerts but will fail for both Staples as a lack of holidays and decent flight prices.

I hope they don"t.
It"s enough...


Ik hoop het niet.
Het is mooi geweest zo.
Sinds ,, Undercover" is het niet veel meer, op enige nummers na.
Babylon en Steel Wheels waren nog goede platen. De rest meer van het zelfde.

Laten ze maar lekker met pensioen gaan en van hun enorme vermogen genieten.
Heel af en toe draai ik nog wat van ze, maar dat is nog zelden.

It"s all over now....
