Who said it made sense? I'm just saying that there is a likely explanation for the "no Stones will call tickets on Friday".

Not that I expect it to make any difference, but I tweeted a link to this thread on all the official stones and related musicians twitter accounts.

I hesitate to post because what I have been told is very unhelpful, but here goes.
My July 6th Tier One + Barclay Unwind bar tickets have not yet arrived and the BST website is saying they have not been shipped yet. I live in the UK.
I just spent 20 minutes talking to a friendly guy from AEG (aka BST aka Frontgate)
He referred to the whole ticket thing as a "debacle". Apparently tickets are being posted from the US because it is cheaper and quicker than posting from the UK!
What I was advised
1. Don't believe your order status on the BST website - it is inaccurate
2. Unless you bought in the last 2 days your tickets have been sent
3. If they don't arrive by Wednesday, call AEG / BST and arrange to pick up from box office
4. PICK UP IS ONLY POSSIBLE ON DAY OF GIG
I challenged this last point, explaining that others on this board were being told to pick up Wednesday / Thursday / Friday. A manager who was called re-iterated "No advance pickup for tickets bought from BST"
So where does that leave us ? Everyone trying to pick up tickets on the day ? Golly
