Today's 'weekend section' of the washington post has an ad for the FedExField show. It's the same ad as we have been seeing save one major addition. the words "ONLY AREA APPEARANCE" This sucks a major one. Heavy drinkin at Madhatters tonight! |

I wouldn't drink heavily yet -- well, I would, but not because of that. I think we'll get a second show yet. I just don't think this guy has the info -- the on-line version barely even mentioned the Stones -- he isn't trying very hard.
Madhatter's huh!
That's a fun place! |

I am truly sorry nanker..I called this over 3 wks ago and was brutaly attacked...You can't have a 2nd show if 1/2 the stadium is empty..they need atleast 50k to make it respectable. |

I gotta agree with Joshy on this one.
I think the Stones camp feels that there's a bunch of DCers waiting to buy tickets until they see if there's a MCI show...by announcing no MCI date, they hope to sell the rest of the FedEx tix....but there's always room for some MCI dates in Dec/Jan. |

I'm sorry, I think you misunderstand me! This isnt from a reporter or anything. This is from the advertisement the Stones themselves placed in todays paper. if you live in the area pick up a Post and check out the weekend section for the ad.
As for the Madhatters! Nothing but fond memories. if you live in the area head out there on a Friday night! girls girls girls!! |

Oh -- didn't realize it was sanctioned by the Stones -- that's unfortunate, but as jb said, not surprising with the poor ticket sales for FedEx. |

Don't feel bad Nanker..sales tomorrow for the 2 arena shows here in fla. will be dismal...Celine Dion is performing for about the 20th time in this town tonight and she alwys sells out...yet today they are still advertising..this means we will not even sell out 1 stones show...I'm glad the stones are charging high prices, b/c even with poor sales in some venues, they still will be highest grossing act and we do not have to be humiliated anymore than we have already been.. |

Has anyone got a true account of how many tickets were sold for FedEx? |

The ad in today's Post says
ONLY AREA APPEARANCE
STADIUM
You could read this to mean that the only area stadium appearance will be this one at Fedex Field. I've gone into Ticketmaster every few days to see what kind of tickets they have left, and yesterday I would have gotten upper deck behind the stage. There is absolutely no way they've sold only 30,000 tickets unless they've kept 15,000 near the stage for close friends. The show will be pretty full - not sold out but then neither are the other stadiums except Giants Stadium. Don't give up on another show yet - they still have 8 days in the schedule to fill after Fedex. |
