Pulled $750 tix in section A, row AA - what row exactly that is I don't know so I threw them back and then got booted.

AA, BB etc. usually is in front of row A. So best seats.

Plenty of places run them the other way, AA after A-Z and if the chart above is correct these aren't even section A on the floor. What a bizarre layout and numbering/lettering scheme. Too much $$$ to roll the dice. For $150 sure, but not for $750.

I saw row AA as well and threw it back. My instinct says that if it were really the row in front of the stage, it would be in the "diamond package" at the presale stage. I think it's row 25 (after row Z, no rows I and O)

there will be a saturday show also.it looks as though people are pulling up alot of seats and throwing them back.

mgm has 9 casinos so they can just hand them out to players if it doesn't sell.you never know how they got there,all you see is an arena full of people.

it's a pretty good trick really,we've come a long way since the days of just putting tickets onsale.

Everything but the $75's are overpriced, but didn't want to settle for those.
Threw a decent (overpriced) single back, got booted out, started again, threw another single back (cheap nosebleed), started again...now showing nothing...I threw in the towel.

Might try again tomorrow for Amex pre-sale, but will probably throw everything back again.

Maybe there will be another show between the Desert Trip weekends - I'd be more willing to commit to that...maybe...

Rip this joint, gonna save your soul, round and round and round we go......

The seating chart makes the $75 seats look like they're in the rafters.

After giving up I randomly scored a ticket in section 18, row J, seat 9. I like the side seats slightly elevated so I'm happy! Especially happy not to have to stress with the next presales and sales.

Will try for the floor maybe if there is a second show

i like those seats,they almost look side-stage but you're actually in a really good spot.i had similar ones at the mgm garden on keiths side.

how much were they this time?

Ya I got the cheapest seat 3 of them paid 1149.00 they wanted 750.00 apiece for sect 13 I said no way I'm end up on the floor any way

We're in! My buddy got 4 in the lower chunk of Sec 224, row H- P2 tickets looking right down on the stage. Total miracle.

We will be directly across from you then! They look like good seats!

I always figured that was the reason prices never seem to come down on the front floors for Vegas shows. If noone buys them, the Casinos take them and give them to high rollers?

Decided to take another look using a different password (STONES instead of VEGAS).
Sure enough singles are popping up - mediocre $750's and less than desirables at the 'lower' price levels.
Can't justify hitting the 'next' button to confirm on any of these...

i have to think the stones are going on tour,probably arenas across the states with the new album.

i would'nt overspend on these shows,no way they come to the states and do 4 or 5 shows and leave.i have no insider information on this but it just seems obvious.

Would love to meet you too. We have a room at the Luxor, where are you staying? Would be fun to meet at a bar before or after.

Aria- I'll shoot you a message once we're getting close to game time

Any ideas were to stay in Vegas?

Slayer 14 I got my tickets me and my 2 buddies from Mass going looking for place to stay now !

There's a million great places to stay in Vegas. I'd start by looking to see what's somewhat close to T Mobile. Maybe use Hotels.com or Trip Advisor? The Aria is still fairly new, I got a room w 2 queen beds for $250/ night (w AAA discount)- I'm sure there are plenty of other places that are cheaper.

....In with Uppers...

Sounds like the name of an album....or a band, anyway at least I'm in the building (used shelter as the password)

MGM grand
NY NY
Monte Carlo

reasonable and nice and walking distance

Ok thanks all very reasonable prices can't wait.

Ridiculously expensive at $810. I'll just be going to less shows on this tour! If you want to be up close you have to be a f___ing millionaire these days, and the secondary market is so out of control.

The problem is that there are so many millionaires now. i.e anyone who owns a house in Toronto or Vancouver!!

aeg owns the t-mobile with the mgm corp-they also own/partially own/operate

the 1st bank center in colorado,the american airlines arena in miami,at&t center in san antonio,barclays center in new york,consol energy center in pittsburg,the key arena in seattle and a few others-

can't imagine they have the stones in one of their buildings and aren't throwing money at them.just sayin...

Given that AEG puts on Coachella that explains why this is the only gig announced thus far. Presumably the second Vegas gig will be next and the rest of the rest of the markets....

Some of us are staying at the Hard Rock Hotel. $119/night when we booked.

Just realized the last presidential debate is the same night in vegas at Thomas Mack arena which is about 2.5 miles away on Tropicana

T-mobile Arena is basically between New York New York and Monte Carlo and across the street from the MGM grand.
