They have already played a undersold Moscow(only 48k)...I remeber they had a hard rock concert in the early 90's in Moscow with Motley Crew, AC/DC and even Bon Jovi, that drew 400k....and the Stones could onlyt get 48k!!! Really bad imo!!!
No surprise considering most locals couldnt afford their ticket prices which cost about 2 weeks salary.

Then why go back to Russia? I don't think St. Petersburg will fair much better. |

Not to this festival..Although I do not have the aversion to camping that our Reverend Gazza seems to have. Why would I travel over the pond to camp?
The verdict is still to be determined for a later date.. |

Dont think you could fly from London - its not far enough to make it worthwhile, although YOU could hire a helicopter.
About 90 mins on the train to Portsmouth or Southampton and then get the short ferry ride.
Looks a pleasant enough place, but its just not that easy to get to. |

St Petersburg is a new market. Its nowhere near Moscow. Plus, in the space of 9 years, the economy has changed somewhat for the better. Plus, its a smaller stadium and as its closer to some western countries, you might also get some fans from there going (eg Finland) |

You probably should go because it will be a very historical event with the Stones headlining...and it seems relatively close to you...Moreover, I imagine you can get ticketsfairly easily,,, |

Have you ever seen a map of the UK? Theres no part of the UK thats further away from me than the Isle of Wight.
I could probably get to New York quicker.

I think St. Pete would be very interesting. Besides, it is more capitalistic than France these days and Keef would not have to worry about finding enough vodka. |

There aren't. None from the US in fact, according to this list.

Have to say, it's a beautiful looking city. It'd be great to see a show there. Pity its so far. |
