Anyone booked a hotel in Stuttgart yet?

Mercure Stuttgart City Center 109 euro refundable

Just changed to Ibis, seems closer. Thanks for the tip!

No worries! If you have an Accorhotels.com account the Ibis is even cheaper.

I am wondering, how to get tickets for multiple shows if they go on sale at the same time. How do you guys do this?

Talk about the Croke Park show on radio here

[www.98fm.com]

They are taking call-ins right now.

Keep trying all the shows you wanna go to.you also need a bit of luck and be patient. Probably you have to keep at it for a few days. Dont give up!

The consultation period regarding Croke Park is supposed to last until March 5th.

1. start with the show that's most important to you
2. sometimes the shows don't go on sale at the very same moment, quite often there's some minutes delay
3. wait a little bit – servers are sometimes breaking down
4. the pick yur own seat options is sometimes not available from the very beginning. Thus better seats might be available later on
5. In case you are going for GA there won't be too many problems since there are usually more than enough GA tickets.

Pro tip: also use the presales

Definitely have at least two laptops fired up at the same time, along with a smartphone.

And yes, have patience, don't panic. I learned that the hard way with Paris 2 last year. It all worked out in the end though and I ended up where I wanted.

yes i like this one.

But you never know how to get acces to it. Amex ? Bild ?

I don't believe in presales. They tend to be a mess and the tickets on offer are not necessarily better ones than those offered at the general sale

The RS.com app presale worked perfectly last year once you copied the link from the app to your desktop/laptop (trick: copy and paste link and quickly e-mail it to yourself from the smartphone)

Of course stock may vary. But what I'm saying it definitely increases your chances.

6. Keep more than one 'window' open on your browser
7. Use more than one device (computer/laptop and smartphone)

8. Just dont jump in at the onsale date at all and be patient. You have 3-4 months. There'll always be tickets available at face value at some point.
Anytime I've done that, I've never failed to get tickets that I was happy with for an arena or stadium show.

So no official announcement today?

No official announcement today.

Aren't tour announcements usually on Tuesday or so?

problem is: you might block yourself

Not if you use different devices with different IP addresses or a VPN.

They are. Tuesday or Wednesday.

Last shows i knew what i would like to attent because i could drive to all of them. Now i'm depending on getting tickets (the right ones) and flights.

This tour I want one weekend with the girlfriend and one on my one (one night).

So i have 3 options;

1. London (one night) and Prague
2. Dublin and Stuttgart (one night)
3. London (one night) and Edinburgh

Al the other combinations are to expensive or to close to each other (for example Stuttgart-PRague, or Dublin London).

Hotels are booked so now it's just waiting.

not wrong, but everybody using multiple devices will surely help to bring the tickets agency's server down and/or ensure that everybody will spend a lot of time waiting to get through

places is one thing; venues might be more important – for exmaple: an open field like Prague or a midsize stadium (Stuttart, Manchester, Southampton); infrastructure is to be considered, too (how far outside the city center is the venue? Are there hotels close by etc…)

Exactly this in shovel-loads. I've never paid more than face value for a concert ticket (Stones or anyone else) in my life and have got a big discount on several occasions. No-one should ever struggle to get a decent ticket for a stadium show.

Btw, No 9. Don't bother with Stubhub, Seatwave or Viagogo, unless price is below face value (with fees added). 'IORR-hub' i.e. the Ticket Trader forum on here has proven an excellent source of tickets in the past. I've sold 1 and bought 1 spare ticket there in the last few years. Fan to fan sale, face value or less and no commission.

My gigs last year:

1. Hamburg: Missed out in original sale but still booked Travel and Accomodation and bought a spare for the Silver Pit from Flairville on Ticket Trader.

2. Barcelona: Got Pista A (Golden Circle/Fosse Or) on 1st day of Stones App pre-sales.

3 & 4. Got Paris 1 & 2 Lucky Dips on General Sale. Excellent spot at front of GA both times

5. Picked up Fosse Or for Paris 3 on a Ticket drop 2 months after the original sale, changing my Eurostar booking to do so! A whole week of the Stones in Paris - magic!


So there are ALWAYS ways of getting tickets. If you miss out in the original sale, don't panic.

Total Cost approx £480 or an average of £96 per show

I tried do it this way last year and ended up with different locationes then I assume on the beginning... but Hamburg, Zurich, Lucca and Copenhagen were great shows indeed.

next reseller/scalper jumping on the train: [www.prestigetickets.de]

But WATCH OUT: they don't know anything beside the dates – the just used the layout that was anvertised in 2017 and put in the venues (Pit as a box in front of stage, not devided by the catwalk…) and tickets are heavely overpriced, of course…

That will happen. You need to get lucky and a fast internet connection doesn't hurt. The demand is always tough on the servers. This is partly why they have presales. Spread the load.

9. Use a wired internet connection. I tested this once at home for a concert I wanted tickets for. Two computers, one hooked up via cable, one via wifi. I came through faster with option 1 (computer via wifi about 30 seconds later).

10. PATIENCE – don't buy shitty seats because it seems like all good seats are gone. Most likely some of them return in a few minutes/hours/days/weeks…
