Tell Me :
Talk
Maybe politely ask to be moved? It sometimes works. Sorry to hear though.
You absolutely, RIGHT NOW, now need to go to guest services (or whatever they call in there) and talk to them. If you have a phone take a picture of your blocked view to show them how bad it is. BE VERY VERY NICE and polite and I bet they will fix you up.
They usually have plenty of extras in good seats for your situation.
Be VERY tactful, BE VERY VERY NICE and polite.... and I bet they will fix you up.
You might even get pit. It cost them nothing, and detriments no one, to put 2 more people in the pit. Time of the essence. Do not wait. Go talk to them now. Kindly tell them you are huge fans and very disappointed. Skip the part about "never come back to this arena.It is a pure rip off"

It really is!! 
They've been doing this most of the tour. In Barca and Amsterdam, they filled Keith's side first. We waited in Amsterdam till they opened up Ronnie's side, which they didn't do till the opener was on. Then there was a mad rush to get in. A woman in front of me almost got trampled. Doesn't make any sense.
Exciting! About 2 hours from showtime, and filled up?
P.S. I don't care which side of the Pit for France.
I’m in 103 and will be able to see the band except Charlie.
They’ve moved the stage further forward...
Keep on rolling...........

What happened?
Ok, but is that a special access that will remain open for the Pit or will they let Gold get to the barrier at some point, probably the first option for safety purposes.
As a side note that PIT looks like a pretty poor experience compared to the Tongue Pit of "50 and Counting". Or even the 2014 "VIP"/"Diamond" where you could at least go from one side to the other !

It was the same mood in Amsterdam. I didn't care which side we were on, but once we saw Ronnie's side wasn't open yet, we waited there so we could get a good spot. Worked out well, as we got on the rail, but the way ecurity has been handling the pit access at each show isn't optimal. Plus, as you said, they are waiting toolong to open the other side up.
This pit stuff I keep reading about seems like bad business.... why make people mad?

That's what i don't get. I'm happy to hear one, but I can't think of a single operational reason that it is helpful.

Hope they fix the sound
The problem with that is that it must take ages to go from one entrance to the other ? It's completely ridiculous, they should just allow people to move from one side to the other at the tip of the B-Stage like in 2014 or underneath like they apparently did at the beginning of the tour. The way it's handled just makes it extra hard for the die-hards at a stressful moment !

Does anyone know why they do this odd thing of filling Ronnie's side first, especially if they allow people to move to Keith's side later?
I just walked into Ronnie's side and there's a bunch of people just waiting to switch sides. I've come back out and there's a queue blocking a walkway of people waiting for Keith's side to open. It just doesn't make sense.
That aside, this is far better organised than Stockholm - night and day. It's a good atmosphere. Enjoy people!

Is that the access to the pit on Ronnie's side ?
Again first Ronnies side fil up. Keith's side is closed.
Ok, but is that a special access that will remain open for the Pit or will they let Gold get to the barrier at some point, probably the first option for safety purposes.
As a side note that PIT looks like a pretty poor experience compared to the Tongue Pit of "50 and Counting". Or even the 2014 "VIP"/"Diamond" where you could at least go from one side to the other !

People in the queue for pit Keith are getting very angry. If they wait til the support comes on, there will be a flare up.
It's taking far more effort by the security staff than whatever they are saving by keeping it closed!

Keith pit a go-go!
(And, of course, they couldn't check wristbands because we all barged through. I've got myself a nice spot in the corner of the catwalk).

Ah so they don't let you go from one side of the pit to the other before the show starts like they did at some dates ?
In better news, judging by the posts here it seems the 4G coverage is good and that we might be getting some streams tonight !

Maybe Keith’s gaggle of blondes get in up front/security,
then the pit fans. Otherwise don’t know why they’d do that either, except too many fans want Keith’s side so they fill Ronnie’s first, people get settled and stay. Just get me close to Jagger, I say ;-)

I have no experience w/it, my one show was American seated no GA type standing.
I don’t want to move around. A railing to lean on be cool...please.
