I don't think any seats close to the stage will be in the LD pot – it's gonna be pit, GA and nosebleed seats… I guess the hope to sell those GC seats somehow. quote a few are still available (i.e. not printed for the LD)

and hey – right now there are even some tickets for 79 Euros available at eventim!!!

Worst ever Lucky Dip "line". Total chaos. No order at all, one tiny window out of three open and people just swarmed and pushed. Not good.

I was among the first people to actually get tickets. GA.

Sounds like dusseldorf 17. German organisation just as bad as their football team

Stuttgart tonight.

Lucky Dip envelopes were open. Not closed. The girl behind the board got a smile and a compliment from me...
She looked in the first envelope (open) on her table and lay it away. Then she looked into the second open envelope, she smiled and gave the envelope to me.

We got
Seating Innenraum A5 (Golden Circle seated)

Great places. Great concert. All good. Next stop Prag!

Yup...brutal...one horizontal line, and then a bit of vertical line action by latecomers...the shoving was insane...I guess everyone expected a Berlin scenario where all the early birds got pit!
GA for us too...

O dear, not very good reports coming in from Stuttgart about Lucky Dip ticket pickup, makes me wonder what the true extent of the chaos that will invariably prevail in Prague is going to be like ... I'm dreading it all !!

[ I want to shout, but I can hardly speak ]

LD pick up was a Horror Trip. The Basic question was less what got (Ticket) but what you didn‘t get (Broken Bones etc).
Anyway no Injurien for me, but A6, row 6.
But i somehow made It into pit b again — collecting wristbands finally payed off....

My experience on LD's so far (2 times 2017, 4 times 2018):
1) Arnhem: easy pick-up, seats in the back of the Gelredome
2) Paris 2: horrible pick-up, long wait standing in line, nobody knew where to pick up wristbands and where to enter. But No filter pit at least :-)
3) Dublin: easy pick-up, had to pick a sealed envelope from a carton box myself, but again seats in the back.
4) Edinburgh: easy pick-up, already in the morning, not even shown ID or credit-card, just the order confirmation, and yes, Pit A.
5) Marseille: easy pick up, seats high up in the Velodrome, but I managed to buy a Pit B for a good price (thanks to a Polish friend).
6) Stuttgart: well, everybody read already about the true mess to pick up tickets here. It was indeed, got an open envelope, but with Pit A again.

At no place we were escorted directly into the stadium, basically you could do with the tickets what you want. So overall not a bad score with 50% chance of pit tickets :-)

With the Stutgart concert I finished my "Lucky Dip leg" of the tour, the results were:

Dublin - lower stands on Keith side, got tix for the opposite site of the stadium but made it the closest to the stage
London 2 - gold circle
Coventry & Cardiff - nosebleeds but managed to swap them with other people for pit B
Stuttgart - gold circle (a5 but ended up in the row between sectors, just before catwalk)

One show left for me - Warsaw with pit B

hi there. what are the nosebleed seats?
my first stones ticket will be in warsawa.
i have lucky dip tickets.
do i need something else to pick them, apart from the email with the pick up code, id and the credit card used to purchase the tickets?
anyone knows how early i should be there? to get the lucky dips? i hate being at the stadium very very early. wont 6 o clock be fine? (concert starts around 9?
cheers
lets hope i win nice dips.
do the early dippers get better seats? perhaps in that way i go early.
and lastly, in every tour there is chaos when you pick up lucky dips? why?

It's not necessary to be there early, because it's doesn't matter - you will pick your Lucky Dips and it can be PIT or nosebleeds, time has nothing to do there, it's a rattle, really. It's better to pick them up earlier, because if you'll get PIT for example, you are earlier to stand in the line. That's the main reason to be earlier

I'm curious, how did you manage to swap nosebleeds for pit B?

thank you my friend. btw what are nosebleeds again?( sorry for my english)

By talking with people collecting their dips
There are participants who prefer seating places to standing ones. To be honest, in Coventry I started with hope to simply swap my tix for GA. In Cardiff I exchanged them just after collection - surprisingly, I was asked to change by the couple with pits who could hear me asking the staff for a swap

nosebleeds is just a term for really bad seats, most of the time at the far back of the venue

thank you for explaining that my friend. i really hope i avoid them since this will be my first stones gig. anything but nosebleeds hopefully, will be excellent. cheers

More specifically.. seats high enough up in the atmosphere to make your nose bleed.
"Nosebleed section. ... A common tongue-in-cheek reference to having seats at the upper tiers of a stadium is "sitting in the nosebleed section" or "nosebleed seats". The reference alludes to the propensity for nasal hemorrhage at high altitudes, usually owing to lower barometric pressure."

Re: nosebleed seats: I always thought this was because when you're way far in the back you tilt your head back more to see better and it causes a nosebleed! haha!

and just to be sure before i travel from Greece,
i have lucky dip tickets.
do i need something else to pick them, apart from the email with the pick up code, id and the credit card used to purchase the tickets?
thank you

I second this request, and add: do they give you the wristbank when getting the ticket at the lucky dip desk, or do we have to first get the ticket, and then go to another desk to get the wristband?

just what i wanted to ask !

nobody knows. I hope it will be easy as always, but there is basically no acknowledgement of the LD tickets since I bought them. no instructions and the organiser claims they don't know anything about LD tickets. I would make sense to just hand out the bands, but I expect some nonsense like picking up tickets and then picking up the band and then having to load them with money.

but hey, they open at 2, stones play after 8, so there is a lot of time to figure it out. and the weather should be good too.

anyway, good luck to all.

Lucky Dip winners


Pick-up your tickets at the Will Call window located as shown on the map below.

Tickets are pulled at random. Doors open at 14H00.

We will be using strict anti-scalper measures to ensure that these tickets go to Stones fans and don't end up on the resale market with wildly inflated prices.
We appreciate your attention to the following, so that you have the best experience possible:

Your picture ID, confirmation number, and the credit card used to make the purchase are required for pick-up. You will not be permitted to pick up your tickets without these three (3) items.

You must pick up your tickets in person, along with your guest. Once you have the tickets in hand, a RFID wristband will be fit on your right wrist. This RFID Wristband will allow you to enter the event site and to access the section you should be in.

If we suspect any reselling or transfer of these tickets they will be immediately voided and you will not be entitled to any refund.

There are no Parking opportunities at the event site. We encourage you to use public transportation.

VERY IMPORTANT: No bags bigger then A5 format will be allowed on the event site. This rule will be strictly applied and there will be no exceptions. There will not be any storage or cloakroom facility at the event site.

We are looking forward seeing you!

Please, clarify something for me - When I collect LD tickets for the Warsaw concert, can I exit the venue or rather I have to stay there?
