I have a question about when you were charged for your tickets through AXS. I bought 5 tickets for Twickenham yesterday, about 30 hours ago, and have the confirmation email from AXS, with order number and all.

Checking my UK bank account now, the cost has not been charged...

Am I just impatient? I paid with a visa debit card. I am just surprised that I wasn't charged immediately, and, ultimately, somewhat nervous that the transaction didn't go through.

What do you all think?

thanks!

"...I actually think sales would probably have picked up in the end, but it wasn't the last time that the Stones pulled the plug on a gig where early sales weren't as fast as they would have anticipated (Athens 2007, Honolulu 2006 etc)"

For fairness, they didn't schedule Athens gig for 2007. The gig in Athens had been planned for the summer of 2006, but after Keith’s accident it got lost... Until then the sales had been really good, 45,000 - 50,000 tickets aprox.

It could not be faster, in Greece! Because Greeks are usually selling tickets in the last weeks/ days (and, as I see, the particular custom is now branching out due to the high prices and the modern selling strategy!), so the number was strong. In 1998 the Stones played in front of 80,000 people in Athens. Three or even two weeks before concert's night, the tickets sold were 50,000, maybe slightly more. And everybody was sure that the Olympic Stadium would be filled.

Whatever the reason or their decision was, we lost the opportunity to see a third Stones concert in Greece (1967, 1998). And it still hurts, a bit…

020 3784 7998 is 'no longer in use'
08448 24 48 24 keeps me waiting for (nearly) ever

Thank you!

OK here's an ignorant question, to wit.

I still need to order my tix for Dublin. I keep reading about tix being available through AMX. What are the other, if any, ticket companies that are involved in selling tickets? Ticketbastard, the Stones web site, any others?

And is there any particular advantages of going with one company over another?

Hi Jeroen,

did you buy hard ticket or E-ticket for Prague ?

I bought PIT-A ticket in March and I remember only E-ticket option was available.
(today I made a try with golden circle ticket and only E-ticket option was available also)

Maybe you should login in your account and there is an option up right: "download my ticket"

Try there !

Pick a ticket up on the day off someone. No ticketbastard fees and you should be able to get anywhere you want for below face value.

This. Especially in such a big stadium. It's very easy. I've never paid over face value for a concert ticket in my life.

Just some common sense prep is needed.

1. Print off a floor plan so you know where the ticket is.

2. Get a high res colour copy of a ticket so you know what they look like and you're not sold a dud.

3. Be very wary of printed e-tickets for obvious reasons.

4. Enter the venue at the same time as the person you buy from, if they're still attending themselves.
