Virtually nil!

Presales can be good for the lucky few and otherwise mostly rubbish. Often they try and panic people into buying the worst tickets first. So don't bite if you don't get offered what you are really after because you'll get it eventually later on.

Depends on what kind of seat you want. You can always get a ticket, but maybe not the one you really want.

Im looking more at general standing

Depends on the show, but you shouldn't have a problem. Just remember that they release tickets in fits and starts so while it may appear that certain tickets are no longer available, they will always drop more. They prefer to sell the higher priced seats first and will often hold back the cheaper tickets until they feel it's time to drop them.

Also, there's always the possibility that the pre-sale will work only for those who have a specific credt card, like it was on previous pre-sales for Stones concerts. In 2012 there was a pre-sale for those who were registered on the Stones Archive website, but the payment was only via American Express.

Any time they've done that haven't they called it an AMEX Presale? I've never seen them surprise presale customers with a specific card requirement.

In the end, I could buy tickets many days after the tickets were "sold out" on the website.

But you can get the ticket you need

I had very good experiences with the app presale last year. I got pit for Arnhem (230€ - what a bargain) and it was easy to get any category with the German BILD presale in Hamburg.

Repeating, does anyone have a link for the package prices, just to look at?

(Irix, yes, those ticket prices are on the TM website.)

Does anyone know if any alternative agents to Ticket Master will be used tomorrow?

I'd like to get prepared if there are...Ticket Master is usually a bit of a nightmare to use on release day.

At least for London, these are the VIP packages, although there's no info about the prices yet. [www.axs.com]

I have read a lot here and saw some comenst about expensive tickerprices in Germany, but I can not find the prices yet, can someone help me?

If you look closely at the London TM site, it says:

Gen Sale: 02/03
Pre Sale: 01/03 (Ticketmaster)

I lucked out on a pit with a FB presale with a link posted here, not sure if it was a third one or the Stones Archive one you mention ?

Gold Circle Slane Castle 2007; nowadays the gold circle is the 'second best'? - haven't seen the Stones since those amazing gigs in 2006 (two London, one Glasgow) and 2007 (Slane and 02 final show).

The Pit - haven't been to multi-front of stage set up's in stadia, so I take it the pit is the Gold Circle deluxe, right infront of the stage? Is the pit normally comfortable or oversold? Gold Circle would still be quite near the front but I'd be tempted, not seen them in 11 years, and this may be it, to go pit! Advice required

I watched 4 shows from the pit on last years tour and it was fantastic.
In the pit you are right in front of the stage the closest you can get.
Personally I found it was very comfortable and not too crowded with enough space to stand comfortably and also people were very civil and allowed you to leave and return to your spot.

I saw them twice in the PIT, and it was PERFECT, and what Nate told is 100% right. But if you buy them in a package you pay too much.

Thanks for reminding me, Cristiano, I saw that one, no prices true.

For me, the pit tickets are difficult if not impossible to get on their own when they go on sale.
At the end, if they drop right before a show, I have already bought other pricey tickets and those become
hard to sell if pit tickets all of a sudden become available for days.

Let's all keep our fingers crossed!

Me too! No idea what presale it was but I know I was damn lucky to score those tickets for the first ever pit for the first night at O2. I was literally trembling with nerves when keying in my details to make the purchase. Spoiled me for life...

after being in the pit in Shanghai, New Jersey and Zuerich I'm addicted. PIT or nothing anymore. Closest place to the stage, no pushing, squeezing.
In Zuerich catched a pick from Ronnie, my son one from Keith. It can't get better.

There were two presales (the first one on a Monday, for Amex cardholders and a second one on the following Wednesday for those registered on the Stones Archive website), before the general sale started on Friday. I couldn't get any tickets on those sales, but I was very lucky to buy them after some tickets started to appear again on the Ticketmaster website.

Lucky Dip Pit tix completely ruined me for any other experience, but I’m more than happy to pay the £451 to be up front in London.

Many theories were presented but never the significance of NO FILTER

Maybe in the end that is the point...
it only means andrefers to ROLLING STONES NO FILTER TOUR.

It's a reference to sharing photos on Instagram without applying a filter

i.e. they were appearing in their raw and unedited state.

Thanks

Interesting... I guess I missed them saying that officially.

They never said anything about Instagram nor does it have anything to do with Instagram. it does simply mean unfiltered, raw and unedited yes, but the phrase and concept did not begin with Instagram, rather it is used with respect to photography generally and has been for many decades, something that did exist before Instagram.

The four screens behind the band look alot like cellphone screens

Rectangles. We had them before cell phones. You really think the stage is intended to be a homage to the cell phone? Maybe. Or maybe it's just that the 4 rectangular screens work well.

I just looked at that picture of the Croke Park locals and thought, how sad - they are all acting like old fogeys when the band that's asking to play may be made up largely of their "elders"! LOL Where's their spirit, sense of adventure, sense of rock n roll!? They've lost it along the line somewhere.

Probably Daniel O'Donnell fans.
