Enjoy the show tonight guys/gals!

Getting very excited for tonight. The Stones always play well at Rod Laver and take risks with their set lists. It will be their 5th ever show there (and Jaggers 6th) so they'll be pretty comfortable. The Melbourne crowds are always the most enthusiastic too, which makes the band step up a notch. It should be pretty special.

It's actually Jagger's 10th coz he did 5 solo gigs in 1988!

Wristbands being given to the package people now.

Wish you all a great time!

The pit queue (non package) is the shortest I've seen. Less than 50 people at this time.

Good to hear, the O2/1 queue was quite small as well, in fact 1.5 hours before the show there were only a couple of people queuing up if memory serves ;-)

Enjoy the show guys and gals!
