[ I think the best yet stand seats are all in the packages. If the packages don't appear to be selling well, they will be available for regular prices. But, right now, it's hard to tell how popular the shows will be. Paris is unpredictable in my experience. In 2007, Stade de France seemed to be 1/4 empty. In 2014, it was an insta-sellout and secondary market prices never really went down. This time, I'm going with two marginal fans, so I paid Event Travel £700 for one pit package for me, and I'll buy two in the stands for my friends. I'll see them after the show.

I wouldn't be too optimistic about no filter pit. 1/if some of the maps are really accurate (forget the one on fnac website), the area looks pretty small. 2/they have months forward to sell their packages, the shows are not planned next week. 3/Surprizingly early annoucement for autumn shows. More people will show up in the next days/weeks, considering today is a working day. Not everybody can take a day off just like this, kindoff hey boss, i won't be there tomorrow, Stones emergency.
And BTW, 2007 was special. A lot of cancelled or postponed shows, some bad reviews here and there, and to be honest some bad concerts. Their reputation was at that time very tarnished. Paris 2007 was far to be the only poorly sold show.
I know there is a rumoured third show in Paris. I'm not saying it will happen, but at least an option is on, which means they are optimistic about sales.

I'd bet we're overloading their systems pretty good...

this is insane !!!!!
neither through App or Pc, i can't finish my purchase !!!!!

in both cases i get this message : Aucun mode d'obtention disponible.

can someone help me PLEASE !!!!!
i need 2 tickets , 19 or 22 date doesn't matter, FOSSE / FOSSE OR

I don't understand how people managed to buy tix on the UArena website: it's opening only monday...
We just can register for an alert.

Use this link. [billetterie.uarena.com]

This is the link the RS app gave.

What a disappointment! I put a day off from work today to make sure to be able to get a ticket and sat in front of the computer from 6.30am until now.
Hope I will get at least one ticket for Germany
Buying stones tickets is a science in itself these days.

Thanks. Too late apparently but it's my fault. I keep trying though here and vente privée...

I agree, each time is worse than the previous one. I was lucky to be able to see them 29 times in 2002 2003 in north America and Europe. With the exception of Paris Olympia, it never took me more than ten minutes to score my tixs. It was as easy as buying a bread at my bakery. Good ol' time!

ADDITIONL INFO :
The offical u arena site does not allow more than 8 tixs !
I was close to buy my 2nd Fosse Or and I was fired !

Incdredible.
I used my wife's account to buy new tixs, due to the 8 limitation, and the last I bought, logged as my wife, was finaly registered on my omn account, so it is the 9th !
And through all that I have 11 different tixs (some will be available at facial price of course), 9 on my own, 2 on my wife's, and only 7 confirmation emails.
Site command list is correct but not enough detailed

Is that profesionnal? Do not answer please.

I'm looking for 2 fosse or, if you have 2 extra.

Maximum dissuasion reached for me on too many levels now; am off. Good luck lads.

So it seems Paris is the only show so far with no available NO FILTER PIT at face value ? Sickening...When you think that you could get one easily at 10.00 AM for Stockholm.

The net is a little bit more quiet now, I risk a question.

Why do they do that pre-sale ?
In fact everybody knows that that will happen and when and many many many sites offer pre-sale tix, event some very surprisingly.
And all of that mess to launch the "real" sale 5 days later only.

Do they play with our fear to not have tixs ? Crual.

Yep, pretty strange but what really beats me is that they used Vente-Privée who normally only get involved when tickets are not selling, i.e. a few weeks/days before the show!

I think that's exactly why they do that. I bought Carre Or for both nights because I don't want to risk scoring poor tix on the day the public sale starts.

I got 6 fosse or for 22nd. It worked perfect for me (rs app on an iPhone). Can't wait until October.

Lucca had no Pit-Tickets (without VIP Package) available today, both RS App and AmEx.

Just to let you know ...

Summary :
An "i don't know why" presale
Starting at 7am (very soon not?)
An App unusable
A confusing wording (Carré Or/Fosse Or/Pit...)
A site cheaply built, with unexpected emptying basket process, seat designation for standing tix, order confirmation randomly sent, option to choose within only 1, and so on

And we are all here and stay all day long without tix ? Why ? Because the Stones, my friends, the Stones, nothing else, and I like it, like it...

Spot on, it's why presales have become standart. It's a very smart but not cool way to put pressure on people.

Did you bought the 6 in the same time ?

On the App, there is no Categorie 4 for the 19th ???
Not "no avaialble", but no Cat 4 line

Yes. I got them all at once. I had the opportunity to take up to 8 tickets, but I only need 6 in total.

Over lucky you are, I never got anything if I ask more than one, online. At desk that works, if there is tix to sell.

The Fosse Or area is huge (half a football field). I think if you are patient, you will be able to get one. Many people do not want to get lost in a scrum halfway down the field; they'd rather come late and sit in a seat. Good luck.

Same in 2014. Was able to get FOS for Stockholm, but had to buy a travel package (premium price) for Paris.

Got my tix for both shows. I know I'm lucky even they are Cat. 2. I don't care.

I got them from the link of the App, so U Arena Billeterie.
I have been trying for hours, from 7.00 am till 11.30. Four hours and 30 minutes.Refresh, refresh, refresh, .......

It's a shame for the hard-die fans.
Maybe in public sale things will be better but I didn't want to wait till then. I got what I wanted. Don't like GA in big shows, of course I would like Pit of course (maybe Fosse OR), but I'm satisfied. Carre OR is very expensive and Cat 3 too bad IMO. Been twice in FOS (Madrid and Zúrich), I know this time will be different... but it's enough for me. Don't want to pay such money in second market/packages for Pit and don't want to waste another morning of my life.
Thanx guys, I'll be in Paris for the 9th show in my Stones life.

Same memory. A very few people were lucky and got 1st pit tickets through public sales. But most (and every people i personnaly know) got them through an alternate way, package, second market, etc.

Yes it is
I bought 1 at 7h44 this morning and never see new available, neither on App or on PC or on vente-privée, for both 19th and 22nd
Carré Or is huge too, if I believe the map, and there is Carre Or tix available since soon this morning and again now on vente-privée.
So the question a usual is how many tix/categorie available for pre-sale ?
Instead of a "non disponible"/"unavailable", it would be better for my heart attack to see a "no more" or "not for the moment". So you know if you wiat or not.

Vente Privée doesn't show anything for me anymore.

I got shut out for both nights. If anyone has an extra 3 tix for the 22, I'm interested...
