I ended up in the nosebleeds for Las Vegas. Second last row of 206. I wouldn't say it was that random, when every single person in the last 3 rows in that section were $85. It was clear to me that they put most of the $85 into the purple areas on this map:.
Maybe a handful got into the pit. But that's OK (under the pricing structure) ... last 3 rows $85, next 3 for $170, next few for $250. However, the jumbotrons were blocked, and the sound up there was absolutely abysmal. Just a rumble of muddy bass/drums/vocals and barely any guitar. I am very picky with sound at concerts.
After a little while, we left our seats and took off looking for somewhere better. Even walking down the aisle a little bit resulted in a dramatic improvement in sound. There were no obvious spare seats to try and steal, it was jam packed. Ended up going to that white space on the map in front of 216 and standing there. Could sort of see the stage OK (plus jumbotron just to the right), but the main thing was the sound was magnificent (speaker array pointed out to the side) and the concert was just fantastic.

bye bye johnny
$85's dropped for Oakland a couple days before and San Jose day of show. No mention on the Stones website, Facebook or Twitter.
Haven't read about anyone getting e-mailed for those "second chance" $85's either.

The $85's that were issued to me were in the last row of 205. (The person two ahead of me in line got Pit.)
At about 8:30, I saw that there were still some vacancies in the first two rows of 213 and promptly went there. Section 213, Row 1 was the vantage point that I enjoyed for the entire show.

"Was dealt nosebleed $85's in the back, but before the show even started my friend and I went for the upgrade. Went to guest services, but were told it's a no go.
Screw that, we did it on our own. We first made it lower bowl, then split up and I made it down to the floor.There was an entire row of empty seats at the back, and I was able to "fit in" nicely. Had the entire row to myself for the entire show. At the encores I bounced down the aisle with a bunch of people to get to the wall of the Pit/ramp"

Had 201 Row P for Vegas. As soon as we walked in we went straight into section 1, 5th row maybe. Dead center. Our row was almost empty, must have been reserved as comps or something. I couldn't believe that not more 85ers came down, there was plenty of room.

Looks like this is the view for most 85s...

It's not as bad as it looks. Anaheim is much better than staples for nosebleeds

Has anyone noticed that later entry $85 seats are better? I found in Oakland tat people entering after posted show time (8pm) but well before the show actually started had lower levels. My guess is that the box office gave up that there would be a walk up crowd to buy seats and started to fill the unsold seats with $85 people. I entered Oakland arena at 7:15 and San Jose at 7:30 both times upper deck and no lowers in sight. I found open seats at the lower level for both shows and later found I was surrounded by 85$ seats that entered the building an hour after I did. Just saying... Wait it out, no need to arrive early.
Anyone else have a similar experience?

@clance65 - I have a plan for Chicago... It involves looking out for empty sections, then having a phone tree/twitter-tree/email-tree........
