Maybe...but the "and counting" thing sorta puts that aside.(Look mate, we counted...all the way to 53, so fahkoff!). The tickets would still need to be cheap to fill a show for "The Last Time" IMO

My thinking is the rumors are coming in hard and fast that it is a stadium only tour. They would want sell outs all across the land. They would announce this is the final tour in order to pull that off.
This is it...

I don't think the Stones are capable of a 'final tour'...leading the fans on has become sort of a specialty.

AGREED...BUT, Jagger's ego would not let that happen with the possibility of a single show not being sold out for a FINAL TOUR...doesn't matter...we will all find out about the final tour AFTER it is over...as in when one of them drops to take the dirt nap we are all destined to take.

I'm going to say if there's one Texas show it'll be in a stadium.
If two or three they have arenas in Dallas, Houston and San Antonio… The factors will be obvious, what makes more money and is also the easiest… it's a week of shows if they play three arenas, since they need days off…which makes more money, one stadium gig or three arenas, plus time and energy spent…?
I'm assuming one big show makes as much money with less effort… in June Dallas has a giant indoor stadium, brand new… I'm assuming I got a three hour drive in my summer plans, but I'd love a 90 minute or less to San Antonio for a smaller show.

I'm guessing large regional stadiums with high end tickets up close and scaled way back to fill the stadium.

Like this 10,000 seat avg $250 =2.5 million
30,000 seats at $100 = 3.0 million
10,000 seats at $75 = .75 million

Total gets you at that 6 million threshold. To make 6 million in a 16,000 seat arena average tix have to be $375 and I don't see that happening outside of the huge markets if at all.

If the most expensive tickets are only $250, I'll eat a Bon Jovi album!

You'll be lucky if thats the average price of an ticket. Even in a stadium.

I was just showing how possible it is to have reasonable ticket prices and still get to that $6 million gross level. Settle down over there!

Haha,

Yep. its certainly possible.

Although I'd imagine anyone promoting the show would want to make a sizeable profit when trying to fill a 50,000 seater stadium. Think you'd presumably have to factor taxes into that as well.

Yes and don't forget our "friends" over at Ticketbastard adding another $50 for no apparent reason for our convenience!

After considering the evidence, I guess I'm ready to
make my guess:

Except for maybe one or two festival appearances, all
super-expensive arena shows, featuring Taylor and Denson
on "Can't you hear me knocking" plus Taylor and his electric
guitar on at least one other song.

Based on hints thrown out by the Moderator of another site (his initals are BV), the following inferences have been made:

--The Tour will be small; we should not expect too many dates.
--The Band seems to be booking several Saturdays
--Stadiums are favored over arenas
--These shows are not to be missed
--Sticky Fingers will pay a prominent role; perhaps being played in its entirety.

WHEN WILL WE HEAR SOMETHING CONCRETE FROM THE BAND???!!!

Two things comes to mind when a dirty tease like that is thrown out:

1) Total crap and it's just publicity to get people interested, especially if stadiums are favored.

2) It is just like the two chiefs to no longer invite Mick Taylor when they decide to play the whole album in its entirety. Even if he is invited for his 1 song, it will probably be on Streets of Shite with his guitar muted, while we get some toss pot guest for Sticky Fingers.

Mick was karioking with Courtney Love the other night...maybe a duet of Sister Morphine is in the works?

For those of you keeping score at home:

Mick Taylor – lead guitar; acoustic guitar on "Wild Horses"; rhythm guitar on the first part of "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" and "Bitch"; slide guitar on "Sway" and "You Gotta Move"; lead guitar on "Dead Flowers" "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" "Moonlight Mile" "Sway" (not present during "Sister Morphine" sessions)
