Just picked up 4 tickets in club seating in Foxboro on ebay, for 70 bucks each
My guess is that there will be great deals there on ebay in the next couple of weeks, I moved early than I expected to get 4 together |

You can not beat 1st Row seats -- well done . However , I am a little bit curious though --- how much did you pay for the tickets ?!?! |

There are some real splended deals for Chicago and other stadium shows. Better than ever using ticketmaster. However, for a show like Louisville that sold out so quickly ebay has most tickets way overpriced and many bidding wars. I can tell you from trying to buy 4 tickets on 2 sepearate occasions. |

the Stone Pony show is going to be a bitch to get into and the special CBGB show is going to cost a fortune for anyone that wants to go.... but I hear it will be filmed |

Most stadium shows are not even 75% full as of now...a massive billboard campaign, similar to that in the UK, is needed to bring in the casual fans. This is looking really bleak. |

It worked in the UK..I spoke to a very reliable source who said billboards were placed throughout London, and most shows were either full or close thereto....they need to do something as they are not going to play to 1/2 empties...

Once again, who gives a shit about ticket sales.
I scored a floor seat for Atlantic City. When I'm front row for B-stage, the last thing on my mind will be ticket sales.
Why is it of such concern? |

I'll grant you that NO ONE in the US outside of this or another Stones dorksite has NO IDEA that the Stones are coming back to the US in a few weeks.... BUT.... a billboard campaign will not simply remedy these mungo undersold stadium shows.... what they need is a new gimmick - ala "No Security" - to come back with something fresh and announce a "NEW" Tour. Different concept, different staging, different songs, different gimmick... and THEN the fans will pack in!
Billboards do shit. A "new" type Stones tour will sell itself.
sadly, the well has run dry. And they are not inspired to come back and reinvent the tour with fresh ideas. It is "auto pilot" from here on out until they call it quits in Honolulu.... and the world can smell it.... SMU, IORR, HTW, JJF, BS, YCAGWYW, MU, SFTD, Satisfaction, BLAH.... |

Agreed, but they will not sit back and do nothing....one or two shows don't mnatter, but the majority are way undersold. There will be something done!!! There must be something done!!! |

but... what has to be done is a new "gimmick"
they need a new twist. Something to hook Jow Blow Public on. Only Stones die hards are buying tix now and clearly theres no enough of us. They need to rope in the Forty Licks fans somehow with a new tour gimmick like "Underwater Seating" or something... |

I have a feeling if the Stones play better than they ever have in their history, this tour would still suck for some fans.
All I know is I'm gonna rock out in AC, which will be much easier since the show hasn't sold out. I'll have plenty of room to dance along with Mick! |

I get the idea even the die hards aren't that interested.
I might go to Dodger Stadium. It depends on how cheap I can get a ticket, who else is opening, how much money I spent on more important shows that month and if anything else is going on that night.
If anyone I know is going to Phoenix I would love to ride along, but the guy I went with in 03 is going to El Paso instead and I am already going to see Iron Maiden that weekend and some show the night before I can't even remember what. |
