So, great songs to vote when you see the last votes! But if Bitch wins, the vote is a farce.

I saw them playing Bitch last Friday in Paris and it isn't my favourite either. Hoping they will play Just My Imagination tonight, cause I never saw that live. Anyway, leaving today at 16:30 to the Esprit Arena from around Maastricht, The Netherlands. Hope to be in at 19:00, 1.FOS left.

Bitch was a good surprise in Paris, but seeing something different would be great, why not She's So Cold?

Does anyone of you knows in which hotel the band is staying in Düsseldorf?

We do NOT publish names of their hotels here on IORR. General security measure. Feel free to read the local papers or walk the city if you are in Düsseldorf.

Yesterday I arrived to Düsseldorf. Saw a bunch of people outside of this hotel, asked what was the deal, "the Stones are here, said this kid"... a woman probably 137 years old holding her phone, waiting for a glimpse of them. I said to myself "if she's staying I'm staying". Nothing. After a 7 hours bus trip from Berlin, and walking the city for another two, didn't want to stay there. I sincerely hope she got what she wanted.

I'm really worried that due to the closed roof the sound will be a complete mess. Even with an open roof the sound was really bad in 2007. I don't even want to imagine how awful the sound must be with the roof being closed For me that's a concert killer.

I was at the "Udo Lindenberg" concert this month in the arena (1. FOS). Roof was closed.

All I can say that "Front Of Stage" the sound (after 2 songs) was clear and very good!

On other places I don`t know.

Sincerely sorry, I didn't know that, thank you!

I have said this probably 100 times before, but some may not remember or see it. Usually it is harmless to tell where the Stones stay, but one day the wrong person will find that info on IORR, and then if something wrong happens then I - ME - will be in charge of that. So as a matter of principle, also due to security in general, I do not accept publishing details as of where they are, which basically means their hotel, exact addresses of rehearsals and so on.

And please do NOT start any discussions on this subject. It is NOT open for discussion. IORR is THE MOST visible Stones fan site in the world, on the top first page of Google. Highest page rank in the world. Two million visitors every year. Anybody who need info about the Stones will find it easy on search via IORR. So I am in charge of what is published here.

Feel free to read the local papers, and to queue up with the locals who stand outside the hotels around. Most of them don't know the name of the band members, but they just wait to see a celeebrity. The real fans are already queuing up for the front row seats outside the stadium.

As BV said, read the local papers: [www.iorr.org] or the Twitter tweeds (#StonesDüsseldorf, #stonesduesseldorf, #stonesdusseldorf).

You are right, get your informations from the local press or social media. But Fans who are not already queuing are no real fans?? For a real fan it is also great, to see the Stones nearer than in a stadium...so why not?!

I am packing my things and I am gone. Up to Dusseldorf. May it been as great as Pinkpop!
If it is possible I post photo's and reports on Twitteraccount because I cant't post photo's on IORR.
@Stonesdjenje
See you there!
Jippie!!!

I was asked if there would be a reasonable chance to find 2 tickets for Düsseldorf just before the concert in front of the Arena. Does anybody have experience from other shows on this tour if one can get tickets this way? If yes, any idea how the prices were?

For a concert this size you can always find tickets on the streets. Prices should be below face value. In Paris a friend got in for 50 EUR.

That's fantastic! Which section of the stadium was the ticket for latvianinexile ? I negotiated mine (in Pelouse Or)on the coach on from London to Paris from a young fan who recognised me from queueing up outside the Telenor in Oslo. She would remember you too. IIRC you were right behind me in the queue for that show and I saw you made GC front row on Keith's side

She seemed familiar when she walked up to me to chat. Bizarre coincidence and amazing good luck because I had friends (travelling in from UK on the day) with tickets for the same section and gate and we met up, queued & stood together for the whole show.

Good to meet you again in Paris. I must check out Uli Schroder's website

I was wondering if you found a ticket for Paris - glad you did! Hope you enjoyed the show - it sounds like it was a really good one.

Aww thanks Martha Yes I got a ticket, thanks to an absolutely mental, bizarre and miraculous coinicidence and was able to stand beside my long time friend who was there from Cambridge with his son. The seller was a lovely young Mexican lass who queued and stood right next to me on the rail at the B stage in Oslo, recognised me and approached me for a chat. She's a student in Bath and I work in Swindon. Mad coincidence that we got the same coach from London Victoria the day before the show and she came over to speak to me just before we set off. She said her Paris based friend had a spare so she texted him and I arranged to meet her at the Stade the next day where she sold me it for face value, cash.
It was for the same gate as my friends, who later joined me in the queue. We got 2nd row in Pelouse Or, Keith side near the B Stage The VIP section in front of us seemed strangely sparsely filled.

You obviously didn't go in the end. I might see you in Stockholm if you decide to go to that show.

Like the User Name a lot btw!

I found the a hotel thank you for your advices about the local press concerning the queue sadly I'm still on the road from Paris, I've been queuing since sun rise last Friday but this time I only have a ticket a for seated places so I'll join you all queuing a bit later

Heading over soon to buy some shirts!!! Hopefully they get setup for a 2 or 3 o'clock merch tent opening.

Does anybody know when the t-shirt stands outside the arena will open in the afternoon?

Thanks!

In Paris the guy said 2, but it wasn't until around 230 that they started selling. In the US, last year, it was 3.

Please do not twist my words. I say the real fans are already queuing up at the stadium. Not everybody, but many. I did not say you HAVE TO queue up outside the stadium in order to be a real fan. I walked by their hotel an hour ago and I met some great real fans but many I don't know. Some are fans, many are just tourists. Feel free to queue any place any time. It is a free world.

In Vienna the merch stands were opened pretty early, around 1 PM I'd say

Some media release:

I meant Vienna was around 230. They had trouble raising the boards with the shirts pinned to them.

Merch stands are open.
