Only for the 1 show not yet on sale i.e. Dublin (if it happens).

Typically, once the small Lucky Dip allocation is sold out there are are no more sales of them except very occasionally in the last few days before the show as happened before one of the Paris shows last October. But that's the exception and very unusual.

Depends on ticket sales. If they want to move more tickets at low price, they will release additional Lucky Dips closer to show date. With sold out shows not much chance for that.

I guess there may be some LDs later on.

Just brought to LD for the Berlin show, in the evening my daughter told me that on this day will be her prom.... I have no idea if it`s possible to give them away, but if someone is interested and have an idea how, let me know.
And please no comments about daughters and proms...:-)

Last year, people other than the purchaser were able to pick up lucky dips if they showed a letter of authorization from the purchaser and a copy of the purchase confirmation email.

Is this rather sure?

It depends on the local promoter. In Austria it was possible! In Switzerland you even had to bring a second person to the desk. I would call the local promoter some days before the concert.

In Düsseldorf 2017 it was Not possible.

Well if so, it was a 'good' mistake . I've got LDs for all 8. I've even given my spare for Coventry to my sister for free and she's going to put me up for the weekend (Nottingham)and drive us to the show

I was thinking I’d bought two pairs looking at the price because they were double the uk prices

Hello,

for me this topic is very important and I hope you don't mind if I start a new thread with it. I often read here in IORR that some people buy multiple LD tickets on purpose to multiply the chances of a good spot at a concert. It was very easy to grab LD tickets at every show this year. You had at least 20 minutes of time before they were sold out. So I think these people didn't take away the chance of the other IORR members.

Myself, I bought too many LD pairs for Edinburgh because I simply didn't think they would be sold with the General Sale because they were announced in advance on the last tours. So we bought too many. Now for me it is the same. I don't want to sell the LD pairs sealed to anyone else. I might give pit tickets away and end in the upper level. That would disappoint me. But you can't sell the "worse" tickets here on IORR either because nobody wants them here.

So what to do with these? I don't think that anybody should let them expire. These are, especially in the UK, some of the cheapest Stones tickets that were sold in the last 20 years. I sold them on Facebook and there are so many people who are happy that they could attend a Rolling Stones Concert for 35 Pounds. When they tried to buy tickets they saw tickets for 120 Pounds or even more. So this is a bargain and a real opportunity for so many people. So please consider this and don't let any LD tickets expire. Make some strangers happy and give it to them at Face Value! The LD tickets are a present from the Stones for the fans. We shouldn't forget that!

on the other hand: by ordering multiple LDs for a show you run the risk that your order will be cancelled since they might think you're trying to resell them

A friend of mine ordered 4 LD tickets (that was possible in the first minutes; so this is a fault of Ticketmaster) while I ordered the LD tickets on multiple persons. So every credit card was only used once. I think this is the same what other people did. Especially if you are a couple - both can order a pair. And that is what many people do.

You have to collect the tickets in person on showday, after that you can possibly resell the tickets

or you can sell them on IORR/Facebook etc and go with the buyer to the ticket office. They are your partner and then swap the tickets.

Think it's a bit off to be honest. Lessens the chances of actual fans being able to afford more tickets for more shows (unless the plan is to sell spare ones at face value to genuine fans at the venue that aren't being used - but how do you know if that's actually happening?). Personally I hope they cancel them for anyone who bought more than a pair, or bought any alongside regular tickets

I bought singles for 3 shows (London 1 & 2 + Cardiff), a triple for Twickenham (sold to friends who are fans for face) and pairs for another 5 (Southampton, Coventry,Manchester, Edinburgh & Prague).

It will be interesting to see how they deal with buyers of a number other than 2 as was possible in the UK for the 1st 45 minutes or so after going on sale. My friend and his son who'll join me for Twickenham bought 4 for London 2.

They can't do anything except honour the contract entered into with the purchaser at the time of purchase.

Sounds like it might be a hassle to accompany all your buyers to the booth and then handle out the tickets. Not to mention possibly being spotted for buying multiple pairs when only one was allowed.

If you pull GAs (or GCs) you'll be wasting time doing that instead of getting the best possible spot, one of the perks (other than the price) of LDs, at least in 2017 where it was basically an early entry GA.

sure. But the best advice is to bring as much documents as possible with you: ID, credit card, printed emails and your credit card balance sheet to proof that you payed for your tickets
