Public tickets arent available until Friday.

I doubt I'll be going. The % of tickets in the category I'm willing to pay is probably quite low. £150 is my limit and the next price up is £350 and I wouldnt pay that on principle even for a front row ticket.

The stonesarchive presale was an offer of the Brussels Affair package which had been available to the public already since Monday...and which costs £651 a ticket - with just one unsigned box per order (do they assume that when people buy two tickets, they live in the same household?)

I think some people may be surprised at the amount of fans who are passing on these shows.

I've been testing the AMEX presale on the UK tickets for two days now. Right from the beginning all I could pull were tickets in the first tier at the back of the arena and quite high up for £406. I've kept testing to see what comes up and as of yesterday afternoon, for the Sunday show, the tickets available now are in section 403 and the price is STILL £406. If section 403 is £406, where in the hell are the cheaper tickets?

It also looks like Sunday's show is outselling Thursday's. Better seats coming up for Thursday.

Oh, and the uber-expensive fan packages are sold out for both shows. Over £1000 per ticket, counting VAT.

The demand is there, I guess.

Good luck to everyone for Friday's on sale.

"I think some people may be surprised at the amount of fans who are passing on these shows."

I'm 99.99% sure I'm going the PPV route myself.
Even if I DO score a ticket in my price range, I cannot justify shelling out airfare and lodging fees to sit
in the nosebleeds, WHEN I CAN HAVE A FRONT ROW SEAT IN MY LIVING ROOM, complete with my drink, smoke and munchies of choice.

Factor in the dicey weather in Buffalo in December (flight delays) and proximity to Christmas and it ended up being an easier decision than I thought.

I can wait for 2013 shows. They aren't done after these 4 shows.
I WILL see them again live. That I know.

A tour is absolutely in the works for next year.

My guess is that you'll probably see US shows by the spring.

In 2007 we packed the Pilot inn for the 3 02 pre show parties. I called them in advance and made sure they had extra staff on those days.

This year I reckon a small table in the corner will be all thats required.

Yes, I'm totally in the same boat, and I'm fine with it. PPV's are always great parties, and we will all see our Boys in the spring.

Life is good!

Dunno. Maybe a mix of both arenas and stadiums like last time, in the States anyway. It depends on how crazy the band's demands are. Last time they priced themselves out of several arenas and shows had to take place in stadiums instead to give the local promoters a chance to make any money. I suppose in 'A' markets like New York, LA, Chicago etc they could play arena shows similar to what they'll be doing later this year.
