Gonna spend a day at the concert on my own while the other half (she's not a fan) messes around at the casino. Best I could grab at the price range was f10 row 39. Never been to Heinz for a concert so I have no clue how good or bad the location is.

You should have bought a premium package ticket as your other half will probably spend a lot more in the casino than you have for the ticket

what is the going rate for a downtown pittsburgh hotels on the nite of the show?

My advice is check around at all the PGH hotels and plan on using Uber. The two closest, Residence Inn and Springhill Suites were showing as booked two weeks before tickets went on sale. I'll post later the name of the hotel where my daughter always stays. It's on Banksville Rd and you would need to use Uber to and from but their prices are hard to beat. Whether they have any rooms available, I don't know. Any hotel in the downtown area or suburbs is accessible via Uber. I would def start checking, NOW.

The hotel on Banksville RD is the Days Inn. Runs 89 a night. Showing nothing available 6/20-6/21.

I would be careful staying at any of the hotels on Banksville Road. They are only a couple miles from the stadium and the area is not bad at all but these hotels are often in the news and it is never for a good reason. I can walk to the Days Inn from my house and I would never think to recommend it to anyone.

But, there is a decent BBQ Shack behind the Days Inn.

My Pittsburgh ticket arrived today. I was emailed on the 22nd, that it was printed.

Also have our tickets. Received on the 10th. Just a shot away....see you there!><

PS...where are IORR partying preconcert?
Never been to Pittsburgh. Can't wait! Andy WARHOL Museum is near by. Hope to see it. There 3 days. Any other fun ideas?
Mahalo, thanks!

Have 2 tickets to show. Section 217. Paid $516.75. Will sell for $500. Got other tickets in Section 210 and want to use them. If interested, post contact info and I will be in touch with you to discuss.

I have some questions about ticket location. I have two pairs; one pair is Sec 208 Row K and the other is Floor F9 Row 16. Any thoughts or advice on which seats will be better? Thanks

Just depends on the type of experience you are looking for and who you are going with...
208 looks like great, comfortable side stage club level. VERY respectable.
F9 is dead center of the center of the floor. Tons of action, great straight-on view and option to roam around a bit.
Great choices, both with a different feel entirely.
ENJOY!

Which do you think would be closer to the stage visually? Energy always seems to be higher on the floor.

I'd go with the sec 208.

The floor gives room to dance, more room in general. Get the B stage. Nothing like the floor we think.

I believe 208 would give you access to a bar and restroom if that matters to you. The restroom is a big perk for me. We are in 210 and I can't wait!

There is no b-stage.

F9 is on the floor, but in the back. The floor doesn't slope, so you are looking over a sea of people. The floor is fun when you are up close.

The sec 208, how the rows are elevated. You will have a good sight line.

I'd bring binoculars for either seat though.

looks like the sapphire packages have dropped to regular price.

..

But did just get center section row 20 at face, so see you all there!

I will be in Section 109. Looking forward to meeting some of you! We are staying at the Omni William Penn! Can't wait! This will be my 15th Stones show! Second show in Pennsylvania, last time in Philly I was so close to the tongue stage that I could look into Mick's beautiful blue eyes and see the sweat drip down his face! The previous day my fiancee and I were fortunate enough to shake hands with Woody!!><

I bought a ticket and used my cousins credit card (with her permission). I have to pick up the ticket at the stadium, but the receipt is on her name. Ticketmaster told me they can`t change the name and the box office told me I can`t pick up the ticket. My cousin will not go (we live in Holland) so she can`t pick up the ticket.
Does anyone has some ideas to solve my huge problem?
Thanks

Can you have the tickets mailed to you?

Or somehow get your name on your cousin's credit card account. With their permission, of course.

My plans just changed and now I can no longer go.

I have 3 seats in the North club suite. Private bathrooms, bars, concessions, shielded from sun and rain, and the actual seats are outside between the 1st and 2nd deck (in front of the suite)

They were $130 per, they are e-tickets I can transfer right through TM.

Please email jcortese7@gmail.com if you're interested.

On tickemaster "choose your seat" there is now:

section F5 row 4, 1 seat for $367

3 seats row 11 for $367

others in that area still emerald and diamond

Row 11 appears to be gone but that Sec 5 4th row seat for face value still there, hope a fan grabs it!

I'm tempted myself just cuz everythign around it is still Diamond prices, but we're next to the catwalk as it is.

We were next to a man & son in Newark who bought tickets from another. He was not admitted at first, had to go to box office with his receipt, letter from seller. They finally were let into the concert we noticed. Ask Ticketmaster what's needed...notarized letter from cousin?
Good luck.

Thanks for your message. I think my problem has been solved. A nice person at guest services from Heinz Field helped me.

On Facebook, the Stones just announced AWOLNATION as their 'Special Guest' for Pittsburgh...Never heard of them before.

Wow ! Maybe the show will now draw 25,000

My Pittsburgh outfit is ready. The hat has two of the flashing tongues attached that they sold during the Licks tour. I put new batteries in them and shined them up. They look good as new.
