I already was at the concert location along with some other fans.
The area looks surprisingly small from outside, hard to believe there will be some 100.000 people tomorrow. It has kind of an intimate feeling which is very fine although it sounds a bit weird talking of such a big event.
The whole area is very small, so I recommend to use public transport when there's the possibility.
Although it all seemed professionally organised I see no chance to avoid total traffic chaos...

Well if tickets are not sold out why are all the transportation options sold out? Do they expect everyone driving in with a car? As far as I understand, there is no way to get from Graz - the 2nd largest city in Austria - in & out of the venue, without having a car...

Poor ticket sales. You will not see 100,000 people.

From Jundenburg or Knittelfeld you can take the shuttle bus which should take maybe 10-15 mins. (tickets on oeticket.com).

90.000 people are expected according to the promoter.

I've been watching the Oeticket map for weeks now. Tonight still all 7 ticket and price categories are available. You can buy 8 GA or 8 Pit tickets in one purchase. You can actually see that thousands of seats are not sold. You cant' see how many GA are available. It is clear that not many Pit tickets were sold in a field in the middle of nowhere. They still don't show all available seats. E.g. in Tribüne D row 22 is available, but row 24 is sold. Does not make sense. They are changing all the time what they offer as available seats. When the concert starts just look back at the stands.

This is exactly why the Stones invented Lucky Dips. Whatever seats are left unsold become lucky dips so if the expensive seats don't sell out, that is where the lucky dips go. If the cheap seats don't sell out, you end up with those. Last time I had Lucky Dips I ended up with tickets in the $450 range so it really was Lucky! Some people get Pit for the same reason, poor ticket sales.
BV thanx a lot for your comment. I totally agree with you.Quote

I don't know why some people need to claim these shows are not sold out. So far during this tour, as well as many other tours, it has been packed venues. Just watch the pictures from Hamburg and Munich.
There is an interview with Dale "Opie" Skjerseth today in the papers, a good one. He says the capacity is 95,000 in Spielberg. He also says they did not want to play a stadium in Austria, due to logistics. So if they have sold 90,000 tickets out of 95,000 on the permit that is 90,000 happy fans rather than 50,000 at a stadium. I can't see the problem with that.
This location is very central for Croatia/Zagreb, North Italy, many parts of Austria, and the areas around, if you look at the map, and add 2-4 hours of train or car ride. Sure it is a hazzle to drive and queue.
It is better to queue for a day and see the Stones live once every 20 years, than to sit at home and complain about how expensive the tickets are and how they sound and how difficult it is to get there.
Sofa fans... They sit in their sofa and just complain. The Rolling Stones, our favorite band, are out there tonight live. Just get your ticket and take the pain of the travel. If I can do it from Norway - I spent 8 hours from home via Vienna just to get into Graz - then anyone can get to this show really.

I'll be coming from Carinthia (2 hours away) and we're having heavy rain since yesterday's evening. The weather forecast is extremly bad - 8 to 15° only and a high probability for rain.
I still don't have tickets and I'm curious if I'll grab golden circle for less than 100 Euro - it worked in Vienna 2014 and as already reported there are still tickets for ALL categories so the scalpers will bleede...
