Got a notice yesterday that my hot ticket mystery extras shipped. From the email:
Enclosed: Rolling Stones merchandise: blanket, tote, book and laminate/lanyard. Will be interesting to see what the book is.

Hot ticket? Book?
Please explain (Is this some US thing?)

Initially they sold "hot tickets" for the tour. There were 4 levels ranging from $750 for a guaranteed prime upper level seat to $2000 for a prime lower level seats. The tongue pit tickets were included in this @ $1500. Part of the deal for all levels was a gift pack. All of the details on said pack weren't revealed until now. I bought the lowest price "hot" seat. Getting some sort of book, a (useless) laminate, a blanket & a tote. Better than a poke in the eye! Wish I would've went to 2nd Staples show but I saw the Vegas date. It was very good but the LA set list was much better. Alas, could only afford to travel to one show from Seattle.

By the way: the seat that I got was excellent!

Careful all, the number of bogus tiks being sold & folks ripped off are big news!
