Too bad...as this is a bit difficult for those who actually purchased Pit tickets at high prices and would like to be treated fairly..Yes?

The best pit story I've heard comes from Amsterdam, though. Someone I know simply used his Barcelona wristband, and walked right into the pit - with a GA-ticket

I got in but my two friends behind me had to fight with security over it before eventually being let in. One friend never got in and another, although she finally got a pit wristband, went to the toilette but could not get back in!
I wrote to Ticketmaster customer service. It seemed to me that security was more familiar with the U arena tickets and not the Ticketmaster generated tickets.

Gosh, it took us a good hour to get the wristband for entering the No Filter Pit.....
Why?
Because the staff delivering the wristband against the ticket had understood that if the ticket bears the mention "NO FILTER PIT" it meant NO access to the PIT!!!!!!
They wanted to see "FILTER PIT"!!!
And our tickets were worst because they were just mentioning VIP1 package so these guys told us loud and clear that we would never enter the pit area as we didn't have FILTER PIT written there.
I'm french speaker so this was not a language issue. Those guys were saying that NO FILTER meant NO ACCESS to the pit....
Sometimes it is hard to be a Stones fan....
That took place on Keith's side access to the pit, after half an hour of useless discussions, we went to Ron's side Pit access and there we were let in in no time but after queuing so long because everybody did the same.....

Likely the same guy who herded a bunch of lost fans on and off the train without tickets? (Thanks for that!)
haha... you all seemed in sort of panic :-)
We survived, didn't we?

Cubans solve entrance problems much more "relaxed". Midbody hight fences and five friendly armee-policemen behind them. When the backfield "gates" were opened, the "Keith-side" fans didn't wait, but simply pushed the fences down. After some 100 to 150 meters inside another fence (sort of front of stage entrance) was awaiting there with maybe 10 less friendly police/security men behind it. One yell was enough to also push down those fences and apart from some "shadow moves" by those security people (what to expect when you face many hundreds running toward you) it was a freeway toward the front of stage.
It was like in the "good old days" ... unforgettable
But, truly, I feel sorry for all those who had to start such an enjoyable event in such an annoying way. Good luck to everyone for tomorrow and Wednesday!
