Hi!
I'm planning to use my tier 2 ticket to get closer to the scen in the tier 3 area because i'm not trusting BST that i will be close enough from the tier 2.
Anyone else thinking about that?
And one more question, i'm just a twenty-year-old kid who don't know much about getting in the front row. How much people do u guys think will be there 12pm, if many, who early will people start queuing?

Hi everyone!
First-time poster here, but allow me to skip introductions as I'm simply not in the mood for it (by the title of this thread you'll probably imagine why).
I'd like to know if any of you Spanish concert goers have received your tickets for the Hyde Park shows (specially if you're from Barcelona or surroundings and bought tickets for the 13th July show through the BST Hyde Park website (Front Gate Tickets).
If that is the case (and if it's not asking too much), I'd also appreciate you telling me the day your tickets were shipped (at least according to your BST account) and the postal service company you received them from.
Just for the record, and as many of you here, I'm still waiting for the two Tier 3 tickets (purchased in April) that supposedly "were shipped on 24/06/13".
Thanks in advance for any kind of information and congratulations on this forum and all the great Stones fans who tirelessly post really interesting and useful stuff!

I'm sorry, Stones CAT. Have a look at this related thread: [www.iorr.org]
You need to use the links in there to contact BST/Frontgate/AEG, by email or via Facebook or both.
They'll probably tell you that if you don't get your tickets before you leave you need to pick them up at the box office -
but you should make them send you that message, plus the will-call days/hours/locations, by email
so you can print it out and take it with you as proof of what you were told.

My bracelet says in the accompanying notes that it is definitely not a ticket BUT I am a UK resident and it may be different for UK residents. The helpline is +44 844 7364220

Hola !
I'm from Barcelona and I haven't recived any Tier 3 tickets for 13th July, purchased in April too.
Acording to BST the tickets were shipped on 24/06/13, yesterday I went to the Correos and they told me that normally arrive in 2 or 3 days ...so I think that the tickets were not really shipped on 24.
I need my tickets because I'm going to London next Sunday...If I don't recive the tickets where I can go to pick it up in London ?
Is there any phisical BST office ?
....

I've got reply from Joe Sale yesterday for Tier 1 with silly bar, 6th July.
I can now confirm that the PayBands were sent at 3:00pm today First Class registered delivery. The PayBand should be with you tomorrow or Wednesday. I understand that you do not want to queue on the day, and I am very sorry you have had to wait this long.
If you do not receive the PayBand by Wednesday please let us know and we can arrange something.
Hope the wristbands will turn up today or tomorrow. But if they don't turn up tomorrow, it would be too late to arrange collection on Thursday.

Are you in the UK? (As it sounds.) I hope so, given that nothing ever arrived here (US), and I leave in the morning.
I'm thinking of trading my Tier 1 with someone who has a Tier 3 (which is what I would have got in the first place, if there hadn't originally been different descriptions of these tiers). I'll have to see how possible that is when I get there. (I wouldn't be looking for the difference in price, just a straight swap, so I'm thinking I could find someone.)

Sad to hear you're in the same situation as me, but also kind of relieved because this may indicate the problem isn't specifically with my tickets.
As I doubt Correos is actually handling this issue, I've tried to contact some of the postal service companies that some people have mentioned in this thread (GLS, Royal Mail). I've been told there's nothing they can do without the tracking number, so I've sent a few emails asking for it (I know others here have also tried to get it to no avail...).
Molts ànims! Hope you'll receive your tickets before Sunday. I hope we all receive them once and for all...

Thank you! Yes, as far as I can tell I can pick up the wristband Friday--I'm just thinking of exchanging for Tier 3 because it seems like I'd get a better view, if I get there early. Can't see any advantage to Tier 1 at all now!

Hi all,
I will be uploading images tomorrow with views directly from Tier 1 and Tier 2 from the site as is now.
This should clear it up for us all exactly what we are getting for our money. I have to admit though that the pictures I have already don't fill me with confidence that our Tier 2 tickets will even guarantee a nice patch of grass with a view at all as their appears to be a pavilion partially blocking the view to the stage.
Will put the images up tomorrow.

Can`t wait to see the pictures. I received an e-mail today from Frontgate. I asked how far from stage the tier 2 is. They didn`t answer to that. Earlier they have said that tier 2 gives you a good view of the main stage. This time they just answered about the facilities such as toilets... (!) I just don`t trust them anymore....

Has there been a recent new development? It seems T1 will guarantee a spot close to the stage regardless of what you do during the day and possibly give a shot at FOS if you decide to give G3 a shot, assuming there is an easy passage...how would you go about exchanging for T3 at this point? I don't think you can use the upgrade/downgrade offer at this point? I have a T1 for the 6th and a T3 for the 13th but I'm not sure I can make it back for the second show...
