Another batch of Rolling Stones ticket on-sales ahead
By the end of the weekend, just about all of the currently announced shows on The Rolling Stones ' upcoming summer/fall tour of North America will have gone on the market.
Tickets for the tour's stops in Fresno, CA; Salt Lake City; Denver; Glendale, AZ; Dallas; and Houston are scheduled to go on sale to the general market Saturday (6/4), following a series of pre-sales (information about ticket pre-sales is available at the Stones' website).
Thanks to strong ticket demand in the Bay Area, promoters have added a second show, for Nov. 15, at San Francisco's SBC Park. Tickets for the new date go on sale Sunday (6/5).
This will mark the fourth straight weekend that the Stones have rolled out a large batch of tickets, and most shows have sold out quickly. Several Canadian dates sold out over the past weekend, including all 75,000 tickets for the band's Sept. 3 concert in Moncton, New Brunswick, according to Canadian news reports.
The first leg of the Stones' 2005/2006 tour opens Aug. 21 in Boston. The jaunt wraps up Dec. 1 in Houston, and about 35 shows are confirmed so far. More North American shows are in the works for early 2006.
In addition to North America, the trek is expected touch down in Mexico, South America and the Far East (possibly including the band's first-ever performances in mainland China). The outing will end in Europe during the summer of 2006.
