I'll kick things off, because I've got a Lucky Dip for one of the No Filter shows, so really curious to know how it all actually works in practice !
Seeing as they've been doing these for the last couple of excursions, is there any level of consistency among the different towns/venues on a tour about how the whole 'ticket pick-up and escorting right into the venue' thing works - or does it vary from place to place ?
Anyone who's done Lucky Dips in the past care to share their experience(s) ?
It's been a lot more than the last couple of excursions. It began on the 2013 Fifty & Counting North American Tour, as a way of filling unsold OTT priced seats. As it proved to be successful and popular, it's been retained. Logic would suggest that if Lucky Dipping a slow selling show, you stand a better chance of scoring a good spot. Personally I'm lucky dipping Paris 1 & 2. Hoping to be slotted into Carre Or, priced at 331.5€ !!!
As for on the day logistics, in Paris I can collect from 5pm. Pairs of tickets are handed out in sealed envelopes with names on them, so what you get is predetermined.
Shure that there are name on the envelopes? In Zurich it was random. They took a sealed envelope in the order you came.

I'm more interested in whether there are opportunities to give them (or offer them) to other people outside the venue AFTER you've picked them up - which is the situation I'll be faced with ! Reason being, I've got another ticket ......

In Oslo in 2014 I picked up my LD ticket at a dedicated box office. Then I could do whatever I please. The venue entrance was on the other side of the arena. I could go to the main entrance or I could even go back to the city.
But it seems that different venues have different ideas for LD pick up policy.

Yeah, it might depend on a venue.
I was not in Madrid in 2014 but a friend of mine picked up 1 LD (in Spain they were not sold in pairs).
I don't know if one could leave the place after getting the ticket but he got Golden Circle and was given the wristband already at LD box office.
In that case if you need to sell the ticket the wristband can't be too tight.
Also if sold in pairs I think you need to pick up tickets with your partner.

according to the rules the chances to give away your LD ticket should be zero

I have gotten L Dips at 5 different venues and was never escorted inside. Each time I picked them up and just walked away. I could do what ever I wanted too with the Tix.

Hopefully no wristbands as we will have 2 GA tickets and 2 LD's and I want the LD if they are pit but otherwise i want the GA.
(for dusseldorf)

Exactly ... I bought the LDs as insurance against not being able to get the tickets I wanted, and will only use them if they turn out to be pit tickets ! Otherwise, no chance of using them, will stick with the others I got !

I would like that the revised enormous two-headed monster of a 'No Filter Pit' bodes EXTREMELY well for all the Lucky Dip ticket holders...
Good Luck everyone! Relax and HAVE A BLAST!
