As many on here state "I want what I bought" is simply wrong and without legal basis. You have no right to get what you were promised. If someone sells you a Ferrari for 1€ you probably won't get it. And you have no right to claim it. But you can get your money back.
I think what you are talking about there is "invitation to treat". This covers things like price tag errors. To take your example, if someone mistakenly offers a Ferrari for sale for 1€, they are under no obligation to sell it if they decide not to.
In this case though, we have accepted their offer and they have confirmed the sale, so the contract is binding.

I want to be in Tier 2, where my ticket is valid,
and I want it to be like I was promised when I bought them:
"GA Tier 2 – access to an area closer to the stage than general admission"
What of the GA ticket people who bought them with the knowledge that they would, supposing they get there early enough, have access to the front of stage as per the actual official layout?
I wrote this on Facebook today,
it´s a little explanation why I´am not interested in be there early to get a chance to be in the FOS area:
Many seem to think that those who buy the most expensive tickets are not the most loyal fans.
Before, I could afford to buy FOS tickets, it was not so expensive then. Last year at the O2 arena, I could not afford tongue pit tickets. I can not stand long anymore. Would never have the energy to stand for several hours before a concert and wait, then I would be half dead when the concert started . (It is not only Stones that have become older, even some of us fans ...)
This time, I chose to purchase a rather expensive ticket to get a chance to see something on such a large place like Hyde Park. I want to be able to see pretty well without having to stand there for hours. With the money I paid, I think I'm worth a good place! I love the Stones and seeing them in HP will be very special.
That addresses what you want and is completely understandible and of course fair given the description of the tikcet you bought, but you were mis sold a ticket, what was stated was not what the ticket actually gives you.
So again, what of the GA people who bought their tickets with the knowledge that they would be able to ghet to the front so long as they we early enough?
As I know, this was what we first saw when we bought the tickets:
GA Tier 1 – access to the area directly in front of the stage
GA Tier 2 – access to an area closer to the stage than general admission
GA Tier 3 – access to the main spectator area
About get to the front if Tier 3-people were early enough, was something that was told later, wasn´t it?
Not when the tickets was sold? Maybe I remeber wrong?
Better to let a few of the first in to the FOS-area together with Tier 1.
The info about GA tickets was made public via the stones before it was sold out, despite the press claims etc, it wasn't sold out within minutes.
Even if it wasn't known at the point of sale it was shortly after and thus thousands and thousands of GA ticket holders are potentially aware of what the layout actually is and what it should have been at the point of sale.

As MRambler et al have suggested:
Reinstate the Bon Jovi-style layout and give free passes to the earliest T3 arrivals. Other T3 punters would also be able to reach FOS at the sides.
It's so simple.
That suggestion brings up problems of people coming and going as they please etc and many GA ticket holders are still being denied what they are supposed to have.
They are already doing the simplest thing which is to leave it as it is mean't to be and offer refunds and downgrades.
What problems? Everyone with a T1 or T2 pass will still be able to come and go. The earlybird T3 people will be given the same passes. The T3 people who arrive later will be no worse off.

But if they do that what distinguishes T1 from T2, if all of them are now given FOS option (the T2 would actually gain, since they haven't ever promised that option)? Isn't the whole point of distinguishing T2 from T1 that their area is located worse?
This mess is really a dilemma to solve out, and I wouldn't be surprised that the only "solution" will be the one given by now: you can have your money back, since one does not get what the contract was supposed to give.

This is pretty the much the same situation you are in. You bought something which doesn't exist. You can get your refund and compensation, but you have no possibility to claim what you bought.

Where did anyone say that T2 would be FOS?
T1 would be FOS as originally stated, with T2 behind.
First T3 arrivals would get passes to T1, and the second wave get passes to T2.
