Yeah, but isn't this one of those miniature venue tours with ticket prices starting at $300 a piece and therefore only available to ticketmaster / radio insiders and industry people?
If so, they might as well not tour.

Well, unless the 70,000 seat Reliant Stadium (home to my Housotn Texans) is considered tiny, then I would say no. Ticket prices are $50 or $90, at least for the Houston show.

The rumor on the radio yesterday was that the Stones were playing 3 dates at the Aragon here in Chicago - a venue which I'm guessing might hold 7,000 to 10,000 (if they were all packed in real tight.
That's why I scoffed.

$50, $99, $150 and $350 seats at the United Center
$50, $90 and $350 seats at Comiskey Park
$50 tickets for the general admission "seats" at the Aragon - but good luck trying to snag one
I don't know. I'm not terribly jazzed about the whole Stones thing. The tickets are ridiculously overpriced. I just don't feel the need to spend $50 for nosebleed seats.
I saw them on the "Bridges to Babylon" tour. I think I'll pass on seeing them this time. Although during that week in September here in Chicago, the media's going to be saturated with "Glimmer Twin" news bites.

Yep this was the news this morning. Tickets go on sale to the public at Ticketmaster outlets Saturday morning at 10 a.m. Unless of course you pay $60 for a "club membership" that gets you a special online password for an online sale today at 10 a.m.

I'm going to try for tickets to the Aragon show (if there are even any left by then) but needless to say I'm not exactly holding my breath.
And yeah, $50 is too much for nosebleed seats, especially at Comiskey.

I've never seen the Stones before. For any of you who saw them on "Steel Wheels" or "Babylon" tell me why I should go this time? I'm serious. I love their stuff from the 60's/70's, ("Tattoo You" was okay in the 80's...that's it) but think their 90's stuff was rot. If I go will I be stuck listening to half a show of new stuff? Now that I think about it, I wish their new stuff WAS good because I don't know that I want to see them perform their big hits either... kind of sick of a lot of their radio stuff. Is this just basically going to be like seeing the Beach Boys today?

definitely not 10,000 and at $50 a pop (or $2,000 from a
scalper) is pretty good.
I've seen them 3xs now but I now have an urge to go see them
again. Guess I will have to see what is left over on Saturday.

Well, they're not promoting any album so I don't think there will be much new stuff (much like the No Security Tour in '99). I'd expect it to be a greatest hits tour

I listened to their press conference announcig the tour and they said they're releasing a greatest hits CD set this autumn. The tour will be named after the CD, but that title is still not known.

For their Vegas date, they're listed as "Venue to be announced." I hope they play Thomas & Mack, MGM Garden, or Mandalay Bay. I'll be quite pissed if they do what the Who are doing here...playing a small club and charging insane amounts for tickets.
