Good question, fake layout and fake comments as well! In any case the current replies are not satisfactory, what "updated map will be posted on the festival's website"? There is no map right now as far as I can tell, so there is no map to update! Besides weren't you told before that they were working on correcting the "fake" RS Twitter map ASAP? Are the £95 buyers still going to be led to believe by the promoter and the chimp/chimpette that they will be FOS? Doesn't seem fair to me either!
Yep, I was told they were correcting the map asap !!! asap is a relative term, of course !!! They have to break off from counting our money, which could be a little tiresome for them.

Do I understand this correctly?
What Jagger says is basically that we who can afford to pay more for a ticket are not as good fans as those who cannot afford a £200+ ticket??
So lets put the boring rich guys on the side so that they can hang in the bar area.
Actually I find something admirable in that logic of Jagger's thinking...
Seriously, I think there actually is that sort of logic behind the solution. Most of the tickets in the most expensive categories will go to people who probably are just entering a "happening" via whatever channnel, and just privileged to be there, and I suppose there are lost of "hangers on" in London - without any deep fandom or anything. This is a general phemomenon in late day Stones concerts, and I suppose in London especially. I guess many of them don't even complain, or notice that teh area is in somewhere else, as far as the bar is close enough. Jagger wants more enthusiastic crowd to front him as that in his home town. you know, "The Stones in the Park" and everything...
The problem is -a VERY big problem - that among those people buying those expensive tickets are some die-hard fans who, no matter how rich or whatever they are, have put their hearts and money on tickets just to see the band close. It is them that are treated wrong.. they are the damn victims of this logic -
I really hope best for Jan and for you all others that there will be some kind of positive solution to this now. You really do deserve better.

Precise maps wanted: Where was the stage for concerts like Prince's Trust and whoever played in Hyde Park? Is that the same place the Stones will play 2013?

Hi
Thanks for your mail
Apologies for the confusion in respect of GA Tiers 1, 2 and 3.
You are correct that there will be a section in front of the stage that can be accessed by those with General Admission Tier 3 tickets. This will be the same as any other gig and will be available to anyone that arrives early enough and can run fast enough and are prepared to remain in that spot throughout the day.
However, the purchase of your Tier 1 tickets (i actually have Tier2) will provide you with the following:
· You will have an exclusive entry and exit point to the venue itself, not available to the general public holding Tier 3 tickets
· You will be guaranteed a position close to the stage, in an exclusive section for those holding Tier 1 tickets.
· From this area, you will have exclusive access to sanitation/toilet facilities and a bar area (and so you will not have to leave this area and return to the main site if you do not wish to)
· But of course you are also free to explore the site and the other stages throughout the day whilst not losing your privileged viewing spot for the Stones.
· [You will also be entitled to all the benefits of the Barclaycard Unwind Backstage Bar package]
We think this Tier 1 package, as detailed above, represents great value and will allow you the best opportunity to enjoy a fabulous day and an amazing performance from the Rolling Stones.
But if you are still not happy, please let us know by return email within 3 days and we will agree either to:
· Downgrade your ticket purchase to a Tier 3 ticket (£95)
· Give you a full refund on your ticket purchase.
We look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.
Kind regards
Rob Hallett

No precise map, but I can imagine that the stage could stand at the same place as you can see it in Google Maps (Satellite view).

Hmmmm...admittedly, that does look slightly better for the folks with Tier 1 tickets...
