I'd love to see this show but cannot cough up 500.00 for plane fare when the show may be rescheduled due to Hockey playoffs. And it's on a Monday. Vacation time in the Summer isn't that easy to get last minute. They have really fucked the fans over this time.

you won't get a aports cancellation, only band illness… sucks that travel is restricting us…. I know I don't need a ticket, that will happen, but plane travel is through the roof… and time is tight!!! ugh!!! looks like I won't get one more shot!

You mean people not only have to book tickets - but airfare, hotels and time off work in mid-summer too? And you expect to know the exact date of the show more than a few days in advance? Honestly - you'd think you fans would be a bit more considerate and live in the real world! Tongue

Interesting wording on the band's facebook page just now on announcing this show...

"the Rolling Stones will play Verizon Centre in DC on June 24th. Tickets go on sale Monday, May 13th at 10 am ET. Could this be the last time? "

To the best of my knowledge, they've never used that bait before when announcing a show. A sign of the times that they're finally doing so to shift tickets.

2 shows so far. 2 3/4 full arenas. They're selling something.

Creativity, young lady...you can thank your Fantasy Fulfillment Specialist for this 411

Your city to BWI=$161 round on Southwest
Amtrak from BWI to Union Station DC about $50 roundtrip, 25 min ride each way
Hotel optional

What's wrong with that?

Wait one second.

I am going to Chicago afterall. 600.00 ticket purchased without complaint.

This would be icing on the cake and I'm actually trying to use my BRAIN instead of my HEART.
Surely you can relate??

Absolutely, and you are giving 100% effort.
My brain could zero in on this if an $85 seat finds it's way to me
Just jump in the FFS truckster for an 8 hr ride.
