I was getting a bit worried that the Rolling Stones might not play in Shanghai, because the ticket agency (Emma Tickets) had taken the event off their list. Checking the official Rolling Stones website, I found no mention of the concert either. I sent Emma Tickets an email about this a couple of days ago, and asked for the status of the event. No reply of course.
This morning I called the company directly, and was transferred to someone who confirmed that the concert is on. She could not explain why the event was not on their site anymore, nor why the Rolling Stones do not have it on their own concert website. She told me that tickets will go on sale on Monday, but they already take reservations now. Interested? Call 021-6481 2938 today to make sure you get your tickets, they speak English. Do not use their email address to make a reservation, I wonder if anyone reads those mails.
