I doubt they would do ticket sales online. They only want people to purchase tickets who will absolutely make the show. This means only people in the area. Your best bet would be going back to the theater early in the morning. Bring somthing to listen to the announcement. Park nearby - so you can be mobile quickly in case the tickets are issued at a different location. Bring a mobile device so you may hop on the Internet or send emails. Talk to other fans.
Don't give up. Have fun and be safe.

When I coming back to my accommodation from Fonda queue, I found that there are not so many taxis running in LA. And it will be much less in the morning I guess.
I feel a bit of disadvantage that I don't have my own vehicle....

OK, I am home now, will head back out to Hollywood tomorrow morning. It was a Fonda Theater person that said they expect up to 400 tickets to be available to the public...
......but here is what bothers me....
Local radio stations are saying they will have a big rolling stones related announcement at about 9:45 tomorrow morning.
...all this for 400 tickets? Are they afraid that there are not enough hardcore fans that know about this already?
The only other thing I can think of, assumming it is the theater announcement, is that tickets will go on sale on line (just speculation).
I wonder if it is a charity event and charge $500 to get in (which I doubt) if the tickets would be easier to get...
We'll see what tomorrow brings....

Great advice! I was considering getting a hotel in Hollywood for tonight, but I don't know how I feel about spending money to stay 30 minutes away from my home.. I hope that extra 30 minutes isn't the difference maker. Looks like I'm not sleeping tonight.. Good luck to everyone!

Alright, so I was at the Fonda for a few hours today. When I drove by there was a line of about 15 people outside so I joined. Fences w/ tarps all around load-in areas, so you couldn't really see. Lots of secrecy. Did see a large semi truck unloading musical equipment in. Someone else in line spoke with someone who was a PR guy from a record label and a guy who apparently is one of the guitar techs. The Stones are absolutely 100% playing tomorrow night, likely some tickets will be released to the public - announcement about tickets will be made via twitter interactions with fans, according to guitar tech guy. A man in the box office at the Fonda said tickets would not be sold there, but he may have just been instructed to say that (possible though). They are also rehearsing that show tonight at the venue. There was some chatter about the Roxy as well but I'm not sure if that ever led anywhere. Perhaps ticket sale location, rehearsal location, or a second show? Line was broken up eventually by what I thought was police and then realized was private security. They claimed to have no knowledge of any Stones activity (the officer I spoke to said that they generally have the full inside scoop on secret things like that) but of course I'm sure they were just instructed to say that to us. They claimed that they did security for most of the buildings on the block. Apparently we were blocking the sidewalk but we were not, it was about 15-20 people in a nice orderly line. We dispersed.
I'm returning to the Fonda tonight to try to catch a glimpse of the Stones coming or going, and most hopefully to gain some more information about potential ticket onsale time and location.
Thank you for your detailed report.
I appreciate reports like this, they allow those of us who can not be there to live vicariously through you guys who are doing it. Good luck getting in to the show.

Don't the vampires still come out at night in Hollywood? You will be fine, they probably aren't going to sell tickets at 6AM, it's just not rock and roll.
But hey this is getting pretty exciting, I'm picking up the vibes from 1500 miles away tonight. My best hope is that long time contributors like BluzDude, swiss and bv and others making a sacrifice to be there get into the show and tickets don't end up in the hands of radio stations and quasi fans who just happen to be in the right place at the right time.
Best of Luck!
peace

Well if you film two theater shows in identical outfits, you would probably also need the same audience upfront for both shows.

I really hope that they play all of Sticky Fingers and release this show. But they also recorded the Rome show last year and it has not been released yet.
Nevertheless I wish that everybody on here can score a ticket.

Fans are broadcasting the U2 concert live right now using the periscope app. Whoever gets in tomorrow should do this so the rest of us can watch.
