This entire thing had been a farce fro day one, and sadly continues right to this day. I am ASTONISHED that the press haven't picked up on this and made something of it, it's not as if the material for "a story" isn't out there all over the net, what in the Facebook n' Twitter age especially.
The whole fiasco disgusts me, it would be my sincerest wish that all companies concerned with putting on these events during the week go out of business; the level of incompetence displayed throughout all this has been truly breathtaking in its scope. As the saying goes .............. "you couldn't have made it up" !!
[ I want to shout, but I can hardly speak ]
I read it as:
COLLECTION is at the south gate for people who don't yet have their tickets, then
ENTRY is by the west gate.
That's how it's gonna be. The T1 cannot be just a little spot in front of the stage, it needs to be tied to the back garden/bars/whatever, so that's why there is this corridor, but that's just a corridor to access the front of stage, not an area where spectators will be standing... same for T2, it's mainly front of stage, but is somehow connected to the garden, but no one will stand there...
I was told specifically to enter right next to where I picked up the wristband at the South entrance. "Just the other side of that bandstand" said the Barclaycard guy. I looked, there were already signs up there for hospitality and disabled entrance, but that's all. Then I read here that people have been told to use the West entrance, which is way off in the other direction. Couldn't see anything of the set-up inside, there were screens set up.
I don't get that sentence. Is a small digicam (Canon IXUS 90) allowed?
Yeah, I don't get it either, more confusion from AEG, eh!
@nobodyimportant - yeah that was marquee : [www.iorr.org]
Thanks, so the confusion remains...WEST or SOUTH? First one who makes it inside please post a message here!

Hopefully they will release the live album on CD as well.
This policy appeared elsewhere on the site:
"Camera Policy
Video cameras & SLR camera with
interchangeable lenses over 6 inches
long not permitted"
Is it possible they are prohibiting only "professional" photography?
I think there will be no metal detectors at the entrance. But when the people on the entrances do not hard controls, then you can hide this camera maybe on your body. Do it there, where nobody will touch you, when you know, what I mean.
LOL What do you mean with confusion ?
I got the email with info sheet saying: "Wristbands will be provided to all general admission tier 1 and 2 ticket holders."
Just to make sure I sent an email to tell them I got the info sheet and asked: "I already have my tier 2 tickets for the 13th in hand, so I assume these wristbands will be handed out when we enter through the west entrance for the show."
I got an answer saying: "What information sheet are you referencing? The only people who would receive wristbands are those with Backstage Unwind, Hospitality, or Bocca di Lupo packages."
So I replied again in an email with the info sheet attached and then got an answer saying: "You are correct, the wristbands will be allocated at the entrance gate."
Confused ?????????

just read the comments on the telegraph web site to the story about mick joking abou the same set list.
really harsh comments. not a single positive one.
to paraphrase a few:
"very little new material since 73"
"saw them the first time in hyde park, they were terrible and we left early"
"most people say they embarrassed themselves at glastonbury, only the press is giving them good reviews"
"they've been playing the same set list ever since"
are the stones a joke to the general public these days?

Is it consistent with the map/info given in the email last night : [www.iorr.org] or the map that circulated earlier this week with the West Entrance?

Honestly, who knows at this point what the correct map is because the instructions in the email SPECIFICALLY mention for the Stones [image.exct.net] that T1, T2 and Unwind enter via the SOUTH GATE, consistent with the map in the email, i.e. and not the one for the event on their site : [i197.photobucket.com] where T1, T2 and UNWIND enter via the WEST GATE
Hence my question to Aquamarine to find out where she'd been told to enter tomorrow.

Good point, under "Ticket collection and entry points" here [image.exct.net] they mention collection AND entry for T3, but for T1 and T2 they only refer to collection at the SOUTH gate...but under "Wristband instructions" : they do refer to the WEST gate for T1/T2/Unwind entrance.
Confusing? Well coming from AEG it's probably still an improvement over what they've done in the past ><. Now we can probably look forward to en email with a correct map since the one they sent with the instructions does not even show the WEST gate...can't think of everything I suppose !

Way back when the Tier 1 & 2 problems first blew up, someone on here (apologies that I can't remember who) drew a suggested plan and sent it off to AEG, who rejected it.
Ironically the plan we seem to have ended up with is pretty similar. Half(ish) the FOS devoted to Tier 3, with the rest to Tier 1 with Tier 2 behind.
They haven't adopted the suggestion of making Tier 3 FOS a closed pit for firstcomers, and issuing wristbands. I would have thought that would be an advisable safety feature and fair to those who make the effort to get there early but we of course are mere amateurs compared with the well-oiled machine that is AEG
I still hope that Tiers 1 & 2 will be spacious - we were told it would be, and people need to be able to circulate comfortably around the entrance to the Garden area. I don't think anyone will need to stand in the parts that don't have a view of the stage.

Get ready for the live album:
Celebrated music producer Bob Clearmountain is being flown in to put his magic touch on The Rolling Stones' return to London's Hyde Park tomorrow.
The band will give a headline performance at the outdoor venue for the first time since their historic free concert almost 44 years ago.
And Grammy-nominated Clearmountain - renowned for his work as a live mix engineer - has been lined up to ensure recordings of the show are up to scratch.
The Stones will play two shows at Hyde Park, with the second next Saturday, and both will be filmed and recorded. It is thought the sound recordings will go on to be sold through the iTunes Store, while footage is expected to form a future DVD release.
Although Clearmountain is not working on the sound which concertgoers will hear, he will be making the sure the sound of the recordings is the best it can be. He has previously worked on live albums Stripped, Still Life and Live Licks for the band, and also worked on their studio albums Tattoo You, including the single "Miss You".
The band's performance at Hyde Park comes just days after their much anticipated show as headliners at Glastonbury last weekend which saw them run through many of their best known hits.
Frontman Sir Mick Jagger has already hinted that the concert will feature many of the songs from the band's set list when they played their free show in 1969.
In an interview with Absolute Radio's Pete Mitchell, he said: "Obviously, the same set list is going to be used, it saves me having to think."
The previous gig, on July 5 1969, came just two days after the death of founder member Brian Jones and marked the live debut of his replacement guitarist, Mick Taylor. The performance kicked off with Sir Mick reading extracts from a poem by Shelley in tribute to Jones, who was found dead in his swimming pool at home.
There has been speculation that the band would be welcoming some guest performers to the stage, but it now seems more likely that the band themselves will be the main focus although former guitarist Mick Taylor will join them as he did at Glastonbury. Support act Gary Clark Jr, the blues guitarist, may also put in an appearance with the Stones.
As ever, there will be a few starry VIP guests at the show, which forms part of the new Barclaycard Presents British Summer Time festival, who are expected to include Kate Moss among others.

Just looking at the map they give you attached to the lanyard. Next to "Guest and Media Box Offices" where I got my twristband, there's a large arrow that says "backstage Bar Entrance."
However there's no Western entrance marked and it all says "subject to change."

Had our picnic in Hyde Park this evening and despite Bon Jovi playing, had a great evening. Pleased to meet you Ruby T!
The sound was great and from where we were, outside the main entrance, you could see the stage and see the screens, we were a lot closer than many of the people at Glastonbury must have been. So, tomorrow will be an amazing experience no matter what tier you may be in. The guys on the entrances are very strict about no drinks of any sort or food allowed in. Water is the only exception.
Oh, and enjoy the helter skelter.
