Are all those people on the floor forced to stand the whole concert?
well, they can sit down if they want to

Wow. That sort of festival seating has been banned in the States for decades. I hope you don't have to pay extra for the honor of not even having an assigned seat. Jeez, you should at least be able to sit down for Angie.
Really? I guess those stadium concerts I attended with GA floors and reserved above the floor were all illegal
I've never witnessed GA floors at a stadium show in Los Angeles, and I've been here since the mid-80s. Not at the Rose Bowl, Dodger Stadium, or Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. I thought they outlawed festival seating in the U.S. after the Who deaths in Cincinnati.

will write a proper review, but it was a great show, I highly enjoyed it. We got wave breaker wristbands so ended up in row 6. Very young crowd, very into it from where we were standing. The usual Keith @#$%& ups of Brown Sugar etc. but overall a very inspired performance. It seemed like they enjoyed it too, which is always nice to see. Organisation was fine from my point of view.

What's that? To let you keep your spot in GA if you got there early? Would that mean there was some fencing in place? In Paris, the only people with wristbands seemed to be the "Eventravel Package" tickets and I suppose it was only useful for the "early entry" part.
well, what about the theatres and clubs then? i'm still paying rates of a 350€ fine for trying to hijack that plane to paris on 25-10-2012! won't that ever pay off for me?Quote

I haven't been active in this message board lately.
I just want to share an opinion of so called "casual attendees" or "tourists": This was the first time for me to watch the show in a seated place and take a look at those "non-hardcore fans". We should not underestimate their knowledge and enthusiasm towards Stones and their song catalogue! My guess is that 90% of the people sitting next to my stand knew all the songs including Doom & Gloom. And they had such wonderful evening!

Good for you, nice post--I'm personally not thrilled with the way some fans are regarded as lesser beings for whatever reason, and as you rightly state, they usually enjoy the music as much as any of us!

Some people like Lisa's Gimme Shelter this tour -- good for them. I think it sucks in comparison to what she once did.

Never in my life seen such appalling and totally shambolic security. At the eleventh hour, all those in the joint diamond and gold circle queue were told that the three left-hand aisles would be for gold circle only and the fourth right-hand aisle for diamond only. So it meant that many were wrongly positioned and there was a mad scrum for the diamond aisle in which I nearly got crushed and Paulywaul was involuntarily lifted off his feet. Then to add insult to injury, the diamond wristbands were at the first far left-hand aisle - the total opposite to what we'd been told - so it became a case of grabbing a wristband from someone standing there with them doing nothing. It was chaotic and dangerous initially.
But we got to the rail and had a great time, surrounded by a much more enthusiastic audience than in Paris. I don't much care what others might say but for me personally Keith stole the show. Can anyone tell me what the blingy motif is on the back of the black jacket he wore in Paris and Vienna? Mick's first jacket and shirt were absolutely beautiful, as was a green silky number with black shell-like stripey markings on it that he wire towards the end.
Axel Zwingenberger was in the diamond circle. Also near start time they let some gold circle people into diamond area.
Gotta run to check out of hotel just now, so can't write more about the show just now, except to say that it may be time for Dean Goodman to go home.
