A broker site that I went to.. ticketsnow.com is already selling large groups of Front Section Columbus tickets at outrageous prices....how is this possible before any presales have been annouced?! |
|

This isnt a plug...by outrageous I meant way too expensive...I didnt know they were allowed to sell these at all before any presales...they must have been preallotted to these people...seems like a racket to me. |

You might want to see if the tickets are in hand because from what I have heard, the contracts haven't even been finalized. |

I'm a bit anxious for news as well, seeing as how there's no Cleveland show this tour . . . ! |

I am just going by what someone on Shidoobee who seems to be in the know had posted. But if you notice on TM there is no onsale date or pricing. |

Lots of folks waiting on this one....its gonna be gone in minutes I fear...going to try presale if/when announced... |

I don't think the Columbus show is being cancelled. On many sites, including Ticketbastard, it's listed as a confirmed show. It's scheduled to take place September 24, 2005.
What remains to be determined is when tickets will actually go on sale. This is not unusual as all tickets for the Stones have been staggered week to week. First, they start a presale before putting the tickets on sale to the general public.
It seems Columbus will probably go on sell within the next few weeks. |

Columbus may not be cancelled but apparently the contracts may not have been signed and the promotors got cold feet because of Pittsburgh and Detroit.
No prices listed, no showtime listed, no onsale date listed. It just has that weird Ticketmaster look to shows that were in the system and never happened or already onsale shows that are about to be cancelled or changed.
I am not saying its not going to happen or scare any of you folks in Columbus, I hope you get a show, it just looks suspicious. |

Columbus is showing as a prime Saturday night date.They're goin to be playing somewhere.If promoters are worried then wouldnt Cleveland or Cincinnati be waiting in the wings?....Or are they perhaps considering a Stadium somewhere in Ohio because this is Saturday date...? |

Part of the problem maybe that OSU and Iowa play that day in Cbus...I hope they keep this date, or I may not be seeing the Stones.....By the way I live 2 miles from the Arena, we'll be having a pre-party come one, come all...That is if their actually going to take the stage.... |

Thanks for posting so much info about Columbus everyone. I check several times a day to see if Txbastard has any more info up. I do remember the Cleveland show at Gund did not sell well in 2002. I think the Columbus show in 2002 sold better overall, I remember it was packed.
Scottfree can I come to your pre-party! :-)
All times are on our side!
xxoo,

Cleveland apparently turned them down this tour. |

If Columbus doesn't happen, they can always hit up Cincinnati, Louisville, or Indianapolis (hopefully still on Sept. 24, Saturdays are always great). They haven't played any of those towns in years. |

Really? Does Cleveland have something better going on? |

Probably something better for the money they are willing to spend. Last tour, there were a few thousand empty seats and a few tarped over sections in the back. And they probably want a million or so dollars more this time. That last sentence is just a guess but its probably close to the mark. |

I wasn't there but the audio CD from that show marks it as one of the best. Too bad for my old town. |

Thats one of my favorites! At least the Stones can really give it their all whether or not its a sold out show. And the taper gets extra points for taping Elvis Costello too! |

I've heard about that Columbus boot! Is it being torrented anywhere? |

Don't Worry martha. But there may be a problem with Cow Town, Hopefully not. If the show goes on I will see you there. Let's Rock N Roll...... |

Pittsburgh and Detroit definitely have ticket sale problems but they are the only ones. Ticket sales everywhere else are great. What does this have to do with Columbus??? Pittsburgh and Detroit are stadium shows while Columbus is a 20,000 arena show which is scheduled on a Saturday night and is within driving distance of the metro Cleveland and Cincinnati areas. What promoter wouldn't think this is going to sell out???
In fact, if Detroit and Pittsburgh were arena and not stadium shows, my guess is they would be close to being near sell outs right about now.

Comerica Park was the third venue approached in Detroit, after the arena and Ford Field turned them down. Pittsburgh isnt selling well. We don't know exactly how many tickets have been sold so far but the local promotor for Columbus might. I am pretty sure its happening, just the Ticketmaster page looks strange right now. |
