Initial ticket sales indicate that the Rolling Stones' July 30th show in Toronto will be the largest concert in the band's 41-year career. Over two-hundred-forty thousand tickets were sold in their first four days of availability, making it the Stones' largest ticketed event. That amazing number is expected to double beginning Friday (July 4th), when A&P supermarkets and other stores in Canada begin selling 340,000 additional tickets for the show, which also features AC/DC, Rush, Justin Timberlake, and others. An ad campaign in the U.S. is expected to begin soon, though Farmer Jack, the A&P-owned chain based in Michigan, will be the only U.S. supermarket outlet to carry tickets to the show.
Organizers of the Toronto concert say that Downsview Park can host up to 800,000 people -- the number that turned out to see Pope John Paul The Second there last summer.
