Yes no doubt...I think it is complete miscommunication between AIG and the Venue.
What does not make any sense is why is it a 2 Ticket Limit...But then you are able to buy another 2... If they are letting people buy 2 sets of 2, why not just let the get 4 in one shot ????
Why would an insurance company get involed in this?
That is a great question I have been trying to figure it out for years ????
AIG...AEG...AFX...ABC...ASS...ATT...AA...AAA...AFL...It is all the same after awhile.
Ohhh Man BluzDude...I forgot AXS...

Driving up from Tallahassee the day of the show in Orlando. Don't get off work til 4 so I will get there about 8. What time you think they hit the stage right at 8. I will prob be the last person to pick up my lucky dip tickets
After 5 shows there will have an established time frame of +/-15 minutes when they will hit the stage. Simply read the reviews of the first 5 shows and you will learn what BOOM TIME!! is... then just get inside a beer line time ahead of that.
Mid June are the longest days of the year. I would expect them to wait until total darkness before taking the stage to see the video cameras and special effects. So, that would be closer to 9. That is why I expect an opening act.

Good points, and a night starting time might give them/us a slightly cooler temperature reading. We all may start wondering who thought up these tour dates if we get a 100 degree wave starting in mid June, especially the hot as the 4th of July date in Indy.
Hot fun in the SUMMER TIME, it is summergirl's time of year!!

The Stadium Lights, used for Night Games and concerts are always on so no total darkness ever , plus it STAYS hot and humid in the south after sundown in the summer. 11pm is usually noise curfew , especially with outdoor shows. 8:15-8:30 start - 2 1/2 hour show. Again My Guess. this seems to be their past average anyway.

Opening acts are almost assured - except for Abu Dhabi and Tokyo, I have not heard of a stadium or festival show without them. I don't know if they would delay for darkness, though. Remember that in summers in Europe, they always start before sunset. It gets dark around midway through their set.

I dont think that stadium lights parts is correct... but maybe...
No sense debating it, after 3-4 shows the times and set up will be known.

I am thinking 8:30 - 9:00....I have been to several Football Stadium & BallPark Shows...from what I am rembering the shows that I have been to: Soldier Field, Comiskey Park, Camp Randall, Michigan State...RCA Dome...Silver Dome...The stadium lights are always off, otherwise the stage lighting would be useless...Make Sense ???

"better" how?
Better for the band? Yes. It allows them to adjust their pricing to meet uncertain and possibly elastic demand, and thereby get the most money.
Better for the fans? Not for 90% of them.
Dropping ticket prices due to overall lack of demand is one thing. Knowingly inflating prices with full intent of dropping them later, even just a few days later, is a sharp practice and unethical. There's an unstated understanding when it comes to ticket buying that: A) tickets are priced initially to roughly meet market demand in the opinion of the promoter/band; and B ) offering to pay that price at the earliest possible time will result in a better seat than if a buyer waits.
That's how ticket buying has always worked. If the Rolling Stones' ticket practices are deliberately altered to change that understanding, they should be required to state as much conspicuously and at the outset so both parties to the transaction are on a (somewhat) level playing field.
The "combating the scalpers" stuff has gone from a good faith effort to do just that to a cynical ploy to simply co-opt the scalping practice for themselves.

$45 is amazing, but again: there are an extremely limited number of tickets at that price point at the outset, and that is a deliberate ploy drive demand for the more expensive seats.
It's not like they are making the entire upper rear of the stadium $45 to attract casual fans who just want to be in the building, or can't afford better seats. Casual fans don't know about LD tickets.
Only hard core fans know about the LD offer to begin with, and they are the ones most likely to panic and shell out for a high priced package after the LDs sell out. They are also the ones most likely to buy a second set of tickets when the really good ones get slashed a week before the show.
Again: I understand it's a business, and that they need to maximize revenue, but doing so at the expense of the people that are probably their biggest fans (i.e. the ones that log on 3 minutes before 10:00 to get tix, and know about the LD option but strike out because of the falsely deflated supply) is just cynical and cruel.
