Anyway, when we were waiting to meet him, we were in the "guest services" area where people were talking to the Box Office manager. Some of the people had received the wrong tickets, or had price complaints, and others were there complaining about the $85 seats they got. He was just handing them all new tickets from a stack he had in his pocket (mostly much better seats in the 100's). So, if you end up in the upper level, I would suggest heading to guest services and asking to be relocated. It seems that they have so many extras that they are giving them out pretty freely.

Thank you. That's hard earned information people can use. Wish I'd known that ahead of time instead of being a guinea pig for the first concert.

Wow...great for people who got upgrades, but what a friggin' fiasco! I wonder when it will start to take a toll on the overall vibe...
Agreed. The process for getting the $85 leaves much to be desired. Then for some to receive not only crappy seats, but obstructed ones just adds insult to injury.

I'm hoping it's different in Boston, as least a bit quicker. You can always BUY a better seat once inside if you hate you $85 seat. Sell the $85 for face value, and buy an upgrade.

Note: One person had purchased $600 tix and when they picked them up at will-call, the ticket had a cheaper price listed on it (due to TM dropping prices the last day).

I might have missed this but I am still trying to learn if anyone that purchased two sets of $85's had trouble getting both pairs at either show?
Thanks in advance....MWSooner

Good for you, makes up for the aggravation AEG gave you for HP, eh ;-)
So your name had apparently been drawn before hand since you were "flagged" at the window as opposed to just being given an envelope at random. So was that a paper list or a list on a computer/tablet?

They were giving out the tickets at a table in front of the queue, so basically you picked up your tickets then got in line. I had all my guests present, as I believe is required to pick up the tickets. It was a lot more low stress than I was imagining.

I haven't heard of any reports of upset people at the ticket window or of any riots or anything. So perhaps that's a good sign? Then again, we on this message board and other Stones boards are a small fraction of the people that attend the concerts.

Then again, have you ever seen fifty year olds riot over anything?

Yes, it did make up for the Hyde Park July 6 Tier 1 lying. I had decided to resell my HP ticket, but now I might reconsider attending - big decision, since I live in the US.
I do not think I was "flagged" for $85 pit tickets, although I am not 100 percent sure. I think it was random luck, but they did verify my name was on their list. I think the lady only had one stack of ticket envelops - but I am not sure, so it's possible when they found my name, that the lady pulled the pit tickets separately. I probably was one of the first people to get through and purchase the $85s for Oakland, so ??
