While we're at it, the t-shirts and posters this time around really do suck.
They were so cool last year - what the hell happened?

The band is playing as good or better than 2 years ago. More energy and sound is really good as are the visuals.
One complaint that has nothing to do with performance, DON'T GET LUCKY DIP TICKETS UNLESS YOU HAVE A BACKUP TICKETS OR LOCATION TO WATCH THE SHOW.
Most of the tickets really suck, there are a few pair that are decent and maybe one or two pair out of 100 that are great. The Stones and the promoter would rather give their loyal fans who bought the seats from their website an obstructed view or obstructed sound seat and either reduce decent field or decent upper bowl seats or not sell at all. They really don't care about the loyal fans, at least the promoter couldn't give a crap. It's a business and I understand, just don't put people in obstructed view seats without a warning or instructions on how to be relocated. Stadium personnel are clueless on this topic and most people just get screwed.
While I agree that the great majority LD tickets are probably pretty lousy seats, I'm not sure how much of an indication this is of the Stones not caring about their fans. These are stadium shows after all and their are just so many seats that are not really that good it boggles the mind. Of course they are going to have to try to sell these a LD prices and the whole Lucky thing is obviously just a marketing ploy to get people to buy them. I don't think many people should expect them to actually pay out in providing a serious upgrade in their seating. Perhaps in cases where they truly had poor ticket sales that might be the case but they are always going to give the better seats to the ones who paid more for them.
I personally can't imagine watching the Stones (video screen) from 100+ yards away and stadium shows for me are not worth the effort unless you are up close. When close the extra 40,000+ people behind you don't really matter and may actually enhance the experience with the huge roars and audience energy blasted from the crowd. But to expect the Stones to provide anything other than a precious few LD upgrades because they care about their fans when they have a stadium to fill is a bit unrealistic, imo. In the end you get what you pay for like so many other things in this life.

I was a 'lucky dip' that bought a pair of lucky dips for Toronto 2 in June 2013, and got unbelievably good seats (albeit upgraded from our original seats 5 minutes before show time). In fact, our whole row of lucky dippers were upgrade much to mutual delight.
Not sure if this was easier to do in an arena environment, or because most of the tix were so expensive ($600+) that there was no way they were going to sell out every seat, but miracles do happen.
I'll bet with lower prices generally in the stadiums, and more lucky dips in general, fewer people will get upgraded now.

Hey look its the hypocrite guy back to start more shit spouting his bullshit.
Its the guy who says peace in all of his posts while constantly waging war.
Its the guy who whines about name calling as he calls other people names, like fanboy.
Its the guy who constantly bashes on the Stones and then whines when anyone defends The Stones. It is the guy who is so full of shit his hair is brown.

Well that certainly is something to complain about, she was one of the best posters here. I have always found her posts to be amazingly intuitive and thought provoking. Anybody know the reason why?

Who is DH? And is talking about ice cream forbidden here? I thought along with beer it formed one of the basic food groups. I know plenty of threads discussing drinks have flourished here, is there a rule about not talking about food? Thanks.
