A woman I chatted to with briefly got a Tongue Pit ticket at the Seatwave office at the O2 for £100.00 just before showtime!!!

Yes you will find tickets that are being sold as standing, you have to make sure you get a General Admission Ticket, so ask lots of questions. I also met a guy who bought from a seller outside the O2, who promptly cancelled the ticket (I guess it was an e ticket or something). So yes you do have to be careful.
I waited until just after 8, but I knew I had Thursday's gig as back-up. I wouldn't have taken the risk otherwise.

Please do not think this is typical. I was so lucky getting my ticket but there were others who did not get one and could not get in. (including my husband who waited for me outside - love you hun!). The fall back is the o2 ticket office. They had tickets for £375 at 8 but they were seats in the gods. Whilst, there were tickets around, there were not loads. O2 were stopping people openly looking for tickets, they said they would tear them up if they saw you trading. I am lucky enough to live 45 mins from the o2, but you risk not getting a ticket at all if you leave it right to the last minute and you could waste money getting there and being disappointed. I was the luckiest person yesterday - the gods were looking after me, but there were not loads of tickets around so please don't think it is that easy getting a ticket.

I expected the A block tickets to drop, I just didnt expect them to drop three hours before showtime. For £406 I expected something better or similar to what I've got for Thursday (A3 row D). Well at 5.00pm I got A3 row D! I was chatting to the guy behind me in row E and he said he got his tickets at 6:00pm from the venue box office. The guy in front of me in row C also bought hit tickets from the venue box office but at 7:40pm. 20 minutes before showtime!
Having a great seat for Thursday means I can now relax and look forward to it. If anyone is looking for a decent ticket for Thursday it's worth checking TM daily, and if London isn't too inaccessible coming down on the night. You won't get anything less than face but it is likely to be better than any of the crap offered on eBay and TM between now and Thursday.
Good luck!

100 pound for a pit ticket (including fees) - Pauly I held my nerve. I just had the most amazing time, will never forget - the stones were fantastic. Mick Taylor was the icing on the cake!! And I made the big screen.

RS.com have begun their farcical tweets - "final tickets releaed for the Stones O2 show..." Yeah, RIGHT, this statement was made several times in the 3 days before the Sunday show!

THANK YOU so much for stating this. I have mentioned it a few times in this thread when people raised the subject of turning up ticketless at the O2 and intending to buy a ticket off a scalper, that the O2 is VERY HOT on not permitting this, and they do try and ENFORCE their will.
So for anyone intending to turn up on Thursday ticketless, please please please do not say you've not been warned. GET SORTED OUT BEFOREHAND, or else take your chance with what the box office has got .... that's it !!
