Announcement in january That Munich show feels too close to the BST frame for that. London Stadium has Sam Fender, Iron Maiden and - likely - Guns N' Roses. Emirates has Robbie Williams. Tottenham has Stray Kids, Imagine Dragons and Catfish and the Bottlemen. Plenty of options if they choose to sidestep Wembley again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I think they were meant to play Wembley in 2006 but had to move it because Wembley wasn't ready. Tbf moving it to Twickenham is less of a jump than something I seem to recall reading that Bon Jovi ended up moving Wembley shows planned for '06 before it was ready to the MK Bowl and the Hull City FC stadium. Which, you know... basically somewhere vaguely near London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernSoul52 Posted Tuesday at 08:58 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 08:58 PM I vaguely remember that Bon Jovi fiasco. Anyway, were it not for the sheer volume of shows already booked at Wembley, I would say it's probably the last chance for the Stones to scratch that itch if they want to - but there has to be a reason they haven't done so far, perhaps. Would be nice if the other show outside of the capital is up north, but having played Liverpool last time out, I'd wager it's Scotland or the Midlands.

fullfathom5 Posted Tuesday at 10:16 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 10:16 PM Fingers crossed for The Midlands. They played Coventry Ricoh two tours ago… half hour down the road from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They played Wembley on both Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle, and Voodoo Lounge tour. It was the old Wembley though. Had a ticket for Urban Jungle, tore my ankle ligaments playing football on Clapham Common day of the concert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ticket was £12.50 - high end for those days, probably less than the price of a meal with a drink in the stadium's concession stands now.

Bad enough even in a modern context, thinking it went from being under £40 when I first saw The Killers in 2009 to a standing ticket to the recent London O2 shows passing the £100 mark.

NorthernSoul52 Posted yesterday at 09:57 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 09:57 AM To be fair, cheap end tickets for that tour weren't bad. Saw seating in Manchester for what I think was £45 plus fees - and that had a nice forty-minutes of support from Travis too. Met my arena criteria for length on my night too, so can't complain.

OllieMadd Posted yesterday at 10:02 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 10:02 AM The way to do it these days if wait for Lucky Dip tickets from the Stones. You pay less than FV, and get given a blank envelope with two tickets in, only discovering where you're sitting when you open them. It has landed me in the pit twice.

I did that for the Cardiff gig in 2017, ended up first block of seating in the lower tier. Absolutely perfect spot, good sound, decent view of stage & screen, and an aisle end seat meant I could get out quickly at the end (necessary as was tight on time for the train I had to get home).

NorthernSoul52 Posted yesterday at 10:45 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 10:45 AM Yeah, I did lucky dip in Manchester. Still ended up in the gods, but cannot complain for the price at the time. Are they still doing them now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badlands Posted 13 hours ago Report Share Posted 13 hours ago Not sure the Stones would fill a north east stadium, there’s a reason why you mostly near certainty sell out acts up here. There just isn’t the catchment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernSoul52 Posted 13 hours ago Report Share Posted 13 hours ago People will travel for the Stones though, especially if it's the only gig outside of London on the tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

incident Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago 30 minutes ago, Tranquility of Solitude said: Think the Stones will sell out just about anywhere. I dunno, not sure whether it technically sold out in the end or not but they did a tour a few years ago that had a lot of last minute ticket discounts, including for London. Could get prime seats for £30 only a few days before the show seemingly with ease. Though they did play a relatively large number of dates on that tour.

NorthernSoul52 Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Was this the No Filter run in 2018? Officially all sold out, but do recall there being a few large "production" hold blocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago I'd go the other way. The Stones quite often don't sell out cos their model is to torque the price to the absolute max and they've not really been scarce on the market for years. The numbers must stack up somehow, but it's at the expense of 100% full stadiums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
