Unfortunately, the album absolutely tanked commercially - it was probably the worst selling and lowest charting album whose release they'd ever sanctioned. Even more unforgiveable when you consider that two weeks after it's release they announced the extension of their 1997-98 with a US leg named after the album which saw them ask (successfully) their fans to dig deeper and fork out unprecedently sky high prices to see them.

i saw one of the two shows they did for no security in hartford conn. we drove to the venue with no tickets in hand, but i must say i think i lucked out. i bought 2 tickets from a scalper and i paid 275 for them. at the time this was the most i ever paid to see the stones. the seats were really good ones tho...they were 1st row in the seating section just off to the side from the b stage...say around 7 oclockish. money well spent. it was the first time i heard micks voice actuallcrack and it was during honky tonk woman.
i think the highest i have paid is 2 hundred for 1 ticket.
