The lottery will be that random that they'll have grandma's who didn't even want to cross the street, inside the club.

If "grandma" is code for someone is too old--and therefore undeserving--to see the band, I think you need to get a closer look at the band.

Any die-hard fan who has been with them since the beginning is, or easily fans into the age-range of being a grandparent.


Better a room full of old fans whooping than young kids tweeting...

Matt Lee is in. Not a big surprise with his connections to the band.

So can anyone give us the lowdown on how the whole thing played out?

Any pics of the ticket?

At what time is the show supposed to start?

Hello.

For people without ticket, try to go to the concert place. Maybe you could enter if they do a "Trabendo present". On October I were to the Trabendo without ticket and they allowed me to enter without a ticket... Magic!

Sorry for my english.

Bye.

Now this NewBuild dude twittered that they bargained the Stones will play at El Rey instead of Echoplex. "Satisfactory compromise all round" he says. What is going on here???????

Twittered? Christ this place is full of out of touch old farts...

Are you always a douchebag, or just on this site?

Only when I see people who have reportedly seen the Stones in excess of 47 times and think they are somehow entitled to every future show. Anyone who gets a ticket in place of them is branded a "dummy who only knows the hits".

This place started out very friendly, but its true colours have shown, becoming extremely egotistical and ignorant.

From what I can tell all you've done since you've been here is talk shit. Every message I've seen of yours is insulting somebody here.

May I ask, are you going to the Hyde Park show?

Congrats to everyone who got in tonight, have a blast! It's killing me to be living in L.A. and not being able to even have tried for tickets as I'm home recovering from surgery.

No matter how people get their insider info, they work hard to get it, they pull the strings, find the angles, fly to the fkg city of the show, get in cabs to run around town looking for barricades, they spend lot of time doing it, they are not cheating, they are working hard to see a band they love, and if that band thinks it is smart to do an end run, trick play, lottery BS, fk them around, I bet in the long run, the band will think it not as smart.

And I say that never once seeing one of the cute little warm gigs, I dont give a fk, I didnt work it, but I dure hell respect the people who do, and did... and seeing them get fkd is not cool.

As I said, I bet at tonights show, Mick will see its wasnt so smart, not as much love, not as much fun...

Ah ok, thanks for clarifying, so it seems like what tatters described, one number drawn and the block after that gets tickets...easy way to do it but not a real random draw...unless they handed out tickets at random originally?

Exactly! In my opinion, super well done and FAIR!

- line-jumpers weren't rewarded
- scalpers couldn't have their day
- random luck of the draw, which is what a lottery is

$20 to see the Rolling Stones in a 350-person club---amazing!!! The Stones did really well with this one!

Word! thanks for this. For sure some people had insider knowledge, albeit from possibly sketchy sources.

But I'd say most of the first few hundred people in line - those who should have got in - just added 2 and 2 after reading this site. And supplemented it with some old-fashioned detective work. Last night, we jumped in the car, drove around town to various venues, asked people for tips, looked for telltale signs, and did the AEG corporate math. Then we got up at 4 a.m. and drove around some more, ending up at the El Rey.

Anyway, enough about me. People who cry "not fair!" get a bit boring after a while. It will be an interesting show, a super young crowd, and I hope they have fun.
