As long as they are standing i dont care. People making you sit are a buzkill.

Sitting at a Stones concert? That's crazy talk.

I know..

How many dips are sold every show? Any guesses?

You have to show some respect to fans who have bad legs. You may love the Stones and still have bad legs, so sitting down is a needed option for those who can not stand for 3-4 hours non-stop.

You are right but i explained wrong. No problem with people sitting down. But i do have a problem with people sitting down asking others to sit down so they can see.

The artists themselves, including Mick, often get very frustrated if people remain seated. I saw Joe Bonamassa recently and he finally yelled "Stand up!" to those of us in the front rows who chose to sit and listen. He didn't notice one woman had crutches!

Thank you. Pretty big pit chance i recon!

It's a Rock'n'Roll show and if people have bad legs I'm sorry about them but if they need to sit down the whole show they can still buy a stadium seat. But many people have no leg deasease, but as they get older their muscles get weaker which happens to everyone. What does Mick? He trains every day to be still able to dance and sing for over two hours. What does Bjornulf? I read he walks about 3 hours a day in preperation for the tour. I understand that not everybody needs to do these things normally, but to celebrate the spirit of Rock'N'Roll I want to see people dancing and partying. That's what the band does on stage and that's what the audience should be doing. Can't stand it if people stand there as if they are watching the opera. The problem is that with those 500€ seats many of the people are such people. And that's the fault of the promotor (and also the band 'cause they allow it) because money is more important than a good atmosphere. It's not that the German promoter is super-social and wants to support people with bad legs, it's all about the money. I belong to the younger folks here and I admire the people who grew up with this band, but it's a pity that younger fans can't afford the good tickets. I took three of my friends to Hamburg to their first stones show and they loved it. Would be great if more younger people would have the opportunity to see the Stones. But for students or trainees even 200€ is much money.

122pit tickets available at the moment

Right, cuz if the prices were lower for front tickets, all the college kids would be interested/ snap them up

At 799 Euro each for a pit that isn't a pit ticket, they can keep them.

It just means the Lucky Dippers will get most of them. The German shows have had the richest pickings for Lucky Dippers so far and those 799€ tickets are the reason for that.
