What a mess.

Careful...don't ruin the secret of their oft celebrated business model...

@doublenit - thanks for posting that e-mail.

So Ticketmaster is sending cancellation notices for orders exceeding a two ticket limit and confirming an eight ticket limit.

What a mess.

I'm surprised that nobody is fighting their cancellation. Has anyone that had a cancellation contacted Ticketmaster? I know I certainly would in that event.

It still says an eight ticket limit on the Anaheim pages.

There is a 8 ticket limit. There is a 4 ticket limit on the Tongue Pit Package. Anyone orders exceeding the enforced ticket limits for this event will be cancelled.

I ordered ten tickets for the Boston show and as of this writing they are all still valid. A CS agent told me they were doing the audit on April 25th and the cancellations would have been done before the 26th which is the first day I could print out my tickets at a retail store.

Also, if you print out your tickets at a retail store, not all of them print out on the hard ticket stock. I went to a Walmart and they printed on what looked like thin register paper that you would get from the grocery store.

CindyC - I'm intrigued by your 'print the tickets at a retail store' comments. I'm sure lots of us want to know if by doing this it gives any indication of seat location??

Retail location pick-up is an option for regular tickets. $85's are Will Call only.

I suspect there will be a lot of conversations like this day of show at ticket window: " The $85 seats are gone, but I have a great pair of $250s in the lower loge." Some will walk away, others will pull out the plastic and say " I didn't spend 2 hrs in the car not to go, here ya go."

+1

I'm just grateful to the folks willing to be guinea pigs for the first couple shows, who hopefully will let us know how this all goes!

On RS.com where it describes the $85 ticket policy it has no reference whatsoever about limits.

On the ticketmaster $85 dollar page it has (click ? for important restrictions). When you do, a little instruction box pops up, that says tickets will be sold only in pairs. No limits listed,Nothing about Households so I bought two pairs.

Also on the bottom of the $85 page Clearly visible it states that:
There is an (8) ticket limit for the general public onsale

Myself and everbody else who bought these tickets were during the General Public onsale. I also bought a pair of 250's for back up which makes a total of 6 bought during the General on public sale well under the stated 8 limit.

Are there any Civil Attorneys posting on IORR? Maybe they can clearify this issue.

Sorry, if I misled you, I was talking about regular tickets, not the $85 ones. The regular tickets had an 8 ticket limit, the $85 were a two ticket limit.

If someone wants to buy more than 8 $600 tickets, they are not able to do that because of a limit????

More $85 tickets for tomorrow's opening night show have just been released!

@RollingStones

Looks like sold out as at 3:12 pm PDT?

I tried the moment they went on sale so either it's not working again or they sold out in seconds

keep trying

I got em! The links working now!

Hmmmm. I'm really of two minds on this strategy. It's cool of them to offer the $85 and scalpers will take a bath; OTOH a lot of fans are going to pay the overinflated prices. :^/

Those of you who had success, are your ticket sections/rows/seats similar to the last batch?

My receipt says "GA PIT 5," which obviously means nothing. As with life in general, assume the worst ...

ADD: Many thanks to Bye Bye Johnny, by the way, for the info

Yeah mine says GA PIT 5 as well

Mine says ga pit 5 as well. So that is meaningless? Darn!

GA PIT - 5?? we just got them....... I wonder how that affects the registered ones we signed up for a few days ago.

We got the tickets!!!! $85!!! WE ARE STOKED OUT OF OUR MINDS.... WE DON'T EVEN CARE IF THEY ARE THE WORST POSSIBLE NOSEBLEEDS. IT'S THE STONES... AND I CALLED ALL MY FRIENDS SO THEY WERE ABLE TO GRAB A PAIR TOO!!! 8 FRIENDS THAT LOVE THE STONES... going to see the Stones open tomorrow!!! HECK YES!!!!

All of our confirmations say GA-PIT.... who knows what that means.... WE just know we were holding out, doing everything we could to avoid the scalpers....WE beat the scalpers... for once... so excited.... so excited!!!

Staples center it's on... how will we fall asleep tonight?!?!!?!?!

congrats! it will be a great show! i hope everyone gets 85 dollar tickets...

did I mention we are stoked out of our minds?!?!! Hahahaahaa
I'm a younger fan.... my first concert ever was Steel Wheels...
And I'm excited b/c my girlfriend loves the stones just as much as me
we dance every few nights in our apartment together to their vinyls.
I've got some pretty awesome Stones vinyls. She's from Germany.
This will be her first time seeing them. We just can't stop jumping up and down.
No joke....




I stayed up last night reading this forum for 5 hours trying to figure out anything and everything to get affordable tickets for tomorrow.... luckily I've been getting their tweets with notification on my phone.... I love Ronnie Wood's tweets lately.
Kinda wondering if it will be Slash and Rod Stewart, and who else will be there tomorrow? STOKED!!!! it's the rolling stones.... yaaaa!

I don't understand why they issue $85 tickets with placeholder GA-PIT, they should have called them just GA or TBD, that way expectations would be lower and the surprise bigger for the few that might get good seats. Obviously there won't be thousands of these tickets in the PIT.

Thrilled for you EddieFM!! have a great time - looking way forward to the reports!

Anyone who bought more than one PAIR of $85 seats deserves to have them cancelled.

Signed: The fans who couldn't buy them due to your combination of ignorance,
greed and selfishness.


Your failure to click on the rules cost others an opportunity.

Oh come on! You should have got on faster or bought more expensive seats! Don't blame other people for your mistake.

I got $85 seats for all venues that I wanted.

I was speaking for those that didn't.


Save the "playing stupid" act for TM.

Anyone that wasn't aware of the two ticket rule, was willfully so or just
ignorant. Either way, play by the same rules we all play buy, or lose 'em.

DUDE! WE ARE STILL JUMPING UP AND DOWN!!!!! HELL Yeah STONES TICKETS !!!

YOU GET WUT U NEED!!! dude we are cracking out the vinyls and partying in the hills till tomorrow's show... analog baby !!!

HECK YA brotha! And the audio technica turntable in your hands is among the finest in the land. I have mine at my studio along with a classic arcade setup. Will be listening to the setlist a few seconds behind you as it happens!

Can't wait to hear the reports!

The Stones are masters at ripping off their fans.
