Well said, sjs. I wouldn't dream of throwing a ticket away without doing my best to find someone who could use it.

Doesn't work sadly. none available.

Some available now. You just need to keep trying.

Try this link rather than AXS direct:

[www.rollingstones.com]

Edit: I just checked the original link and it works with LD tickets still available.

I've tried that too.
It has a working link, but when you click "find tickets" it says none available at that price point.

Ah OK. In which case keep trying and good luck. Or maybe see if anyone is throwing away some ticets and arrange to be next to the bins when they do confused smiley

However, I hate people talking about throwing away tickets when I know people who would dearly love to see the Stones but simply do not have enough money. £30 might be nothing to some people but to people who can't afford to feed their families it is too much.

If you have spare tickets, go out into the crowd outside and make someone's day.

I absolutely agree with this - but it can be hard to find people without a ticket at the stadium. At London 1, I tried to give my nosebleeds away and couldn't find anyone who wanted them!

Me and my girl got only GA in Lucky Dip London 2.
From the beginning we ordered good seats, but when the LD came out at that price we bought them too. We ended up at our seats and throwed the GA tickets away.

The thing with Lucky Dips is that they are half the price of the cheapest "regular" ticket for the show (£60 for two lucky dips vs. £60 per seat at the very back of the stadium). On that basis, every lucky dip ticket is a winner. And particularly so at places like Southampton and Coventry which are so small that the entire stadium is like the golden circle.

However, I hate people talking about throwing away tickets when I know people who would dearly love to see the Stones but simply do not have enough money. £30 might be nothing to some people but to people who can't afford to feed their families it is too much.

If you have spare tickets, go out into the crowd outside and make someone's day. Be kind - just make sure you're not giving them out to a scalper who'll profit from your generosity. Or why not put a message up on this site so you know only real fans will benefit. Just don't throw them away!

They are super good value no doubt. I have em for Manchester, however if I get stuck with seats (which knowing my rotten luck I will) I have no intention of using them. Will try and upgrade if i can. I'm not above begging ! But if no joy and anyone here ends up with a spare field ticket they will sell/swap that will make me happy.

yeah my experience of stadium gigs in Manchester is that security is pretty damn strict. You can sometimes try and change your tickets at the box office or customer service desk. Always worth asking, they might take pitty on you

The thing is that you can not enter with LD-tickets without the LD-stamp on your hand, so there was no point in giving them away. And of course I didn't want to give away our good seat-tickets.

I still got the LD-tickets in my "ticket collection", we didn't throw them away -wrong choice of words- but we didn't use them.

Put it up this way - I gave £60 extra for the show :-) About 3,5 % of that the whole weekend costed in plane, hotel, food and so on.

I have been to three shows on this leg of the tour and nobody ever wanted to see the LD stamp on my hand. At all these shows people with either GC or pit tickets got GC wristbands at the entrance. The pit wristbands were handed out at the entrance of the pit. Thus: in case you make it to the GC you might find a way to get into the pit…

Did this happen to you? It's the first I've heard of this kind of thing. It didn't happen to me at London 1 - no one checked my hand stamp, and the ticket office allowed me to pick up my pair without my friend there, so he wouldn't have had a stamp anyway.

Same here, I wasn't aware of anyone looking for the handstamp, and at both London shows and Southampton we only had to show our tickets once. Plus we were running late at Southampton so I went ahead to get the LD tickets alone while my companion found somewhere to park. No problems at all.

If I had spare tickets to give away then I would simply look for the touts and wait to find someone asking touts for tickets then give the person a free ticket and reduce the touts income at the same time.

I'm hoping against hope that there might be some late LDs for Twickenham, or that some kind soul will have a spare.

Phew. Saw both London shows and now pining for more so we have Lucky Dips for Cardiff. Wish we were at Coventry tonight too. Happy Birthday Charlie!!! After Cardiff we have one more show, Twickenham GA. Now wish we could swap for 2 LDs and I know it's pot luck but after 2 nights in GC.. would love to see one Pit show! Been a fan for over 30 years & had a very bad year last year, but just can't afford £400! Y'all order as the only LDs now available are Cardiff (already secured those) so if anyone wants to meet at Twickenham for a swap can you please PM me? Have a great show all at Coventry today!!!

That should have said tall order not y'all order. Predictive text. Bah.

Anyway, 2 GA swap for 2 LDs which could be nosebleed seats, but!!! Twickenham show.

My wife taking her Dad to the show today just pulled Block 34 Row T - They travelled from Cambridgeshire to try and get good LD's like I did in Southampton!

So gutted for them - but congrats to the guys behind them in the que who got Pit B!

Apparently the envelopes are being handed over specifically from the counter rather than picking them...

On my 6th Lucky Dip, accompanied by my sister attending her 1st ever Stones gig...

NO FILTER PIT A !!!!!!

Didn’t think I’d ever experience it but it finally happened.

Collected our tickets at 5.30. I sank to my knees when I opened my envelope and let out a huge squawk of joy. My sister says my reaction was something to behold and claims I started to well up. She’s winding me up though. She enjoyed herself and nearly bought a Stones Tee but baulked at the prices. The drive to and from the show from Nottingham was horrendous and I’m glad I wasn’t driving.
