So are the PIT equally big as the PIT spaces last year? And what about the amount of people in the PIT? I remember that last year there was enough room to walk around until very close to show time.

I had a great time in London 1 for Gold Circle - if I could snab a decent priced Pit ticket I'd go to Coventry...

I was also in Gold circle (Keith side)and had a pretty great view. However I thought the way the pit was 'populated' was pretty disgusting to be honest. Clearly very far from a democratic allocation - apart from the fact that if you are able to secure a pit ticket it costs a bloody fortune.

There were a few 'celebs' who drifted in and out - Bob Geldof, Noel Fielding (comedian - and granted, well-known Stones nut) - and others no doubt, who I'm sure weren't desperately logging on when the tickets were released like the rest of us mere mortals. Also spotted at least one of Keith's daughters and no doubt there were other friends and family who already had backstage access but who came down to be near the riff-raff for a couple of songs.

Towards the end of the show, from what I could see there were literally just a handful of people in the pit.

WTF?!

Thinking back to when I first saw the Stones at Wembley in 1990 - arriving in the morning at the venue, waiting in line for the turnstiles to open, then sprinting across the pitch to secure a spot at the front, not being able to take a pee (or anything else) - and standing for hours and hours. Masochistic maybe - but being a fan and showing that kind of 'dedication' was rewarded with a ringside view. Those days are over - certainly when it comes to seeing the Stones.

Just for Information to all, who wait on their collector's ticket for the PIT:
I received my PIT Ticket for the Dublin concert yesterday on 23rd of may.
Wow, thank you for that, Ticketmaster.ie. Well done.

Roll73 that might be true of Pit B (Keith Side) but I can assure you that Pit A (Ronnie side) stayed full til the very end with at least 6 dedicated IORR posters present and incorrect...

Well that's good to hear!

I was in pit B at the 1st London show and it was certainly not empty towards the end.

London shows always have huge guest lists. Spare a thought for the hospitality/catering dept. we always take the brunt of it. Still would of liked to work this tour though

Any variations on the pit setup so far? Still wondering what Marseille will look like as the plans look a bit different...

Also has anyone been able to move from one section to the other?
