tiffjaggerI agree. It seemed that they knew we had Pit tickets by the clipboard, not by what was in the envelope at Anaheim #2. All I know is that when they told us we had Pit tickets it felt like a dream and time stood still all at the same time. I wish I could bottle that feeling, it was wondeful.Quote

After having my suspicions in Anaheim that the Pit tickets were already predetermined and not random in the envelopes they were handing out, I confirmed tonight at Staples that that is the case.
Tonight, they had you approach the table based on the first letter of your last name. The alphabet was broken up into about 4 different groups at the table. I went up there and told them my last name. They had the clipboard with names laying flat on the table in front of them and I could see that on the page that includded my name, there was a thin column and that in that column there was the letter P in the box for maybe 5 or 6 people on that page. You either had that P next to your name or it was blank. I mentioned that to them, and try tried to deny that it referred to Pit, but I thought it was pretty obvious that P stood for Pit and if they saw that next to your name, they would hand you Pit tickets from somewhere other than the stack of envelopes that were sitting on the table. It seemed to me in Anaheim that this was the case and tonight confirmed it.

If this is the case (i.e. pit tickets being pre-determined) ... can anyone who received pit tickets say what time they bought their tickets during the on-sale period? Would it still be random allocation for pit tickets, or any chance they gave them to those who bought $85's first?
They are completely random as far as the non pit tickets, but there seems to be enough evidence that pit tickets are randomly chosen in advance of anyone picking up their tickets and that the list with the ticket buyers names on it also lists who receives pit tickets, which are kept separate from the stacks of tickets sitting on tables. In this case, if you have won pit tickets, it makes no difference what time you show up to collect your tickets.Quote

I believe everyone who has reported that the results were completely random. Thank you for telling us how your pre show ticket info correlated with the final result! Best of luck to all!
No, thank YOU, Detlef, for taking my sister's and my photo in Las Vegas, hanging with us, finding us in our seat area, giving me your email, keeping in touch, deciding to share your other Anaheim $85 with me, and to Eric for coming through on a third ticket for my friend, and for picking us up from the Orange County airport and spending 15 hours with me and Cheri, driving us from Newport Beach to Santa Monica Pier and back to Anaheim. Everything was unraveling in the last hours before--almost running out of gas on the freeways, you not being able to find your ID, not finding the $85 Will Call since they moved it, getting there without a minute to spare, and then...the best news--we got the PIT! It was nice to share it with you and I'll never for it. I hope you have a nice life! God bless! And send me the pics and videos if you can.Quote

Just want to post about my $85 ticket experience from last night in Toronto. I lost the lottery and was stuck up in the 300's with a sideview ticket literally as far as you could go to the side, unable to see charlie watts even. However about 30 minutes before showtime they started to relocate, and moved my sister and I, who drove 7.5 hours from columbus, ohio to Section 1, Row 1, Seat 6-7. Front row of the floor. I literally started crying when I saw the tickets and realized I was going to get to see my favorite band, and my guitar idol keith, THAT @#$%& CLOSE. Thanks to the Stones for making my life. Here's to the same experience in Chicago on Tuesday!!!

This is the first I've heard about 'relocating' $85'ers (but haven't been following the thread as closely since my (Las Vegas) show has passed. Indulge me if you all might, has this been happening throughout the tour?
Are the powers that be moving s*#t view sections en masse to better ones? THAT is a good will gesture if it's true!
