According to the ticketmaster website this is what looks to be open nearly 48 hours after tickets went on sale to the general public when you request two seats in these sections.
This was as of 4pm (est)
The tickets listed are what comes up as best available
1/ $352 Floor Seating (sec A5 row 23)
2/ $352 Lower section (sec 129 row 3
1/ $152 Lower seating (no tix available)
2/ $152 Floor seats (no tix available)
3/ $152 Mezzanine (sec 107 row 4)
1/ $97 Club seating (no tix available)
2/ $97 Floor seating (no tix available)
3/ $97 Lower section (no tix available)
4/ $97 Mezzanine (no tix available)
5/ $97 upper section (sec 103 row 30)(opposite side of stadium)
1/ $62 Club section (no tix available)
2/ $62 lower section (sec 332 row 14) (nosebleed seat)
3/ $62 mezzanine (sec 331 row 22) (nosebleed seat)
4/ $62 Upper section (sec 307 row 6) (nosebleed seat)
- It seems nobody wants to pay top dollar (FUCK THEM AND THEIR $352 DOLLAR TICKETS) I hope those sections are totally empty. But it looks like roughly half of those seats on the ground in that $350 range have been sold.
To charge $352 in a stadium for a band's fifth performance in Boston in a year takes big balls.
- The mid range tix $97-$152 are selling pretty well. It seems all ground level tix in this range are sold out. As are all the $97 tickets with the exception of seats (sec 137) that are on the opposite side of the stadium.
- The $152 seats also seem to be selling fairly well. With no two seats together in the lower seating or floor levels. Only sections 105-107 are still on sale (from what I can tell) at that price range.
- The thing that really caught my attention was that there was a ton of $62 tix still for sale. Only the $62 club seats have sold out. Granted, these seats suck. But they are a pretty good bargin for the Stones.
Can anybody tell from these numbers how many seats are still for sale? If they don't come close to selling out will they cancel these shows?
I for one will not be going to the show. I love the Stones but I refuse to pay $352 for a good seat (no seat is that great in a stadium) nor do I want to pay $62 to sit a football stadium away for a band I have already seen twice this year.
$352 ticket = GREEDY
If they had sold those seats for say $120 me and all my friends would be there. But, since the Stones and Cohl are essentially saying fuck you to the fans. I (in my own little way) am saying fuck you right back to them.
Who would have thought the Stones (the one time "bad boys of rock and roll") would have turned into glorified accountants?
PS: Just bought nearly front row seats for Bob Dylan at McCoy stadium (about 1/2 hour from Foxboro) for $52 each. That is 7 times less than the equivalent Stones ticket.

There is still 6 weeks to go. So my guess is they will have a respectable crowd. If not a sellout. |

I wish they didnt go after every single fucking possible way to rip off their fans. $450 tix at the back of the floor, cell phone deals, "hot seats", above stage seating, fan club memberships, deluxe packages, deluxe bigger bang....
fucking vultures
they're not happy until they bleed us dry |

To be fair, regardless of whether the tickets are selling well or horribly, I am pretty sure that this lates leg of the tour has had NO publicity whatsoever. Regardless of the ticket prices, do most people even know the Stones are coming to the US yet again? I'd actually bet they dont. |

Good point. This is a quiet tour. It'll still rock. I'm in the 21st row. I can't wait to meet Nellcote et alia. |

If the expensive seats don't sell, expect upgrades for those who held out and brought tier 2 tickets... |
|
|
| lotsajizz |
yup..they did that at the TD North garden in the January shows this year...upgrades rock!!
|
|
|
| Poison Dart |
How do they hand out these upgrades? |
|
|
| rasputin56 |
Yup, got a nice upgrade from the cheaps to the beauty $450 seats at the Garden. The guy who was upgrading people had a stack of tickets about six inches thick. Foxboro will be half empty and you'll be able to get great seats for pennies on the dollar if you're so inclined. Just for fun punch in 12 tickets and you'll find you have no problem getting all of them together in every price range. It's very, very sad. Bon Jovi I hear did very well selling at Foxboro. Sad indeed.

How many more tix will this concert sell? Do tickets usually pick up close to the date?
I know in Europe the tickets picked up quite a bit as the date got closer.
Is it even half full at this point?
At what point would they cancel it? |

Better than I thought...only very open as opposed to wide open... |

I thought it would be worse too. There are many sections that are 100% sold out.
Is it that bad when you consider there is six weeks left and this is their 5th show in the area in a year?
Nobody wants to pay $350. Or pay $60 for shitty seats when you consider most people (in the Boston area)who wanted to see them on this tour have most likely already seen them at least once.
Bad idea to go to a stadium for the 5th show in the area in a year.But, when all is said and done it will sell fairly well. And Cohl will have the last laugh again. |

How many tickets have been sold?
Any chance it gets moved to the Boston Garden? |
|
|

What % of tickets of the $60 tickets? It looks like the $97 and $150 tickets are just about gone. |

How can they just give away tickets? And where are they going to give them away so I can be there? |
