Hi all,
This is my first post, even though I've been reading this forum for many years. Thanks for entertainment and sorry for freeriding.
Like yourselves, I'm a Stones addict. Got tickets for Stockholm, Oslo and Madrid. My concern is that I still have not received my Oslo tickets from Ticketmaster.no, and it's been 13 days. And I can't find a phone number or an e-mail address on their website. Does anyone else have the same problem? Perhaps someone has the contact details for Ticketmaster.no?
Your advice will be much appreciated.

Just for the fun of it, I tried to book (another) LD ticket for Oslo. No problems there. I'm a bit annoyed that it says "standing" when you buy the LD tickets for Oslo now. It didn't when I bought my ticket. However, it might have said "general admisson", don't really remember. Would rather have had a standing than seating ticket. Although it is strange that they should sell LD tickets that are assigned to a certain section, standing. Strange indeed. Anyone here who has bought a standing LD ticket for Oslo? What does it say when you log onto your billettservice.no page regarding section? It only says "Lucky Dip" on my order. Another strange fact is that you still can buy LD tickets from an old link, but not from Rolling Stones web page.

No, no, we havn't recieved any tickets. But when you order LD tickets now it says "standing". You can always access your order history on the ticket web page where my LD tickets do not specify section. I was just asking if someone who has bought a LD ticket now (when it says standing) could check their order history.

In conversation tonight chatting about Stones tour,was talking about how long before it gets dark ,late May in Oslo.
Never been to Scandinavia, but know it stays light at night till very late during summer.
Will we be going home or back to hotel after the gig and a few drinks and get together, in daylight or darkness.
Guess it can depend on weather which I am sure will be warm and sunny.

I haven't attended but I read some posts that all the LD tix in 2013 US tour were printed "GA". But actual location was unknown until you got assigned at the venue box office or the door just before the gig.
So I guess printing "standing" or "GA" is meanless for LD tix.
Some lucky guys will be assigned real GA but some other guys will be assigned nosebleeds seats.

It was specified in the announcement that the LDs in Norway were GA-tix only.

Anyway, looking at stadium layout. Maybe I might be out of line here but it seems to me it will not be hard to leave your seat and go to the floor even if you don't have a standing ticket...

I wouldn't count on that. In my experience, Scandinavians and Germans are far more disciplined and obedient to authorities at big events than, let's say Italians. I remember San Siro 2006, the opening gig two days after Italy won the World Cup in football. It was chaos. People were jumping, drinking and partying everywhere in the section where I was supposed to find my seat. Someone had brought fireworks with them as well. I just had to find a spot somewhere else. In Rome 2007, it was mayhem when people from the stands invaded the pitch. The security staff did nothing to prevent it. I think if you leave your seat in Oslo and head for the floor, some staff members will politely ask you to show your ticket or move back - and you will be expected to do as told. But it's worth a try. The worst consequence is a "no".
