So my "plan" for this tour is- I have regular tix that I got in one of the presales, ok seats, but not great. I also was fortunate enough to get Lucky dip tix for the same gig...so 2 of our friends are coming to the show, they take the presales and my wife and I go in with the Lucky dips. My wife and I will sit in whichever are the best seats. Any comments on this strategy will be appreciated!

To me it seems like it might depend on how good a friend it was...
I can't see doing it that way with a good friend.. "Hey these are nosebleeds.. we're going to need those tickets back... Enjoy the show!!"
Course, if you're buying all the tickets then that changes things.
A more fair way might be to split the costs of all the tickets, and then flip a coin over who gets which set before going...

That petco park/stones logo is cool.
Do the Stones do any venue specific shirts/posters?
As mentioned, it was done last year. Some really great stuff. Take a look - [www.iorr.org]
There's also different tongues for this tour. Nice sized Indy one here - [www.iorr.org]

I do know my electric sockets around the world.
About 3 adaptors fits most places.
Still reckon he is doing his dance moves in London area somewhere, and not Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia or Canada.
The Tour is just about 4 weeks away and when Ronnie and Chuck do their gigs, rehearsals will be happening soon after I reckon. ><

Yes, Mick's in England right now. The Stones will head to LA in a week to start rehearsals. I don't know if they all arrive at once, or stagger in.
it will be interesting to see where in LA they do a tune-up gig. Also, I think when you start a new tour, you need to do a dress rehearsal on the new stage in a stadium, to make sure all the logistics work. So that would probably be Saturday May 23. As we know Mick is a control freak, and will want to test everything out to make sure its perfect for opening night.
If you see them driving down to San Diego on Friday May 22, you can bet the stadium dress rehearsal is the next day/night.

They do those kinds of things. It resonates in the empty stadium and can be heard everywhere. Here's a picture of one (BV took it in Abu Dhabi)

I remember in Oslo on Saturday before the show,which was on Monday,they did the whole gig from start to finish at Telenor Arena.
About 20-30 fans there in afternoon and early evening and the sound was so good outside the Arena.
Made my day when got back to town and met Chuck and his wife having a stroll along the main street in Oslo.
