I was at this venue last year for GNR. Venue is outside the city, but easy to get to by metro. As mentioned before, it will be crowded after the show. I was there Fourth of July and temps were 85-90 degrees. This venue may be cash only, it was for GNR. So make sure you have the local currency. I had VIP Gold Circle Early Entry, as did about 20 other people, so it was easy to get to the rail and in my spot in front of Axl. Not sure how Stones setup will work, as our group was led to the Pit area, no running, pushing, or shoving. I saw GNR 11 times, 9 in Europe, and thought this was one of the better shows sound wise.

"Security" was a joke, and probably the worst compared to the other EU shows. A line was established and then 2 hours later security let people form another line. Don't think there were metal detectors, just throw away any open drinks.
When the gates opened, it was chaos. Made all the difference to have the Early Entry ticket. Those who had regular GA were climbing all over each other.

Could anybody tell me how much time it will take a.) form the central train station and b.) from the airport to the venue (by public transport)?

According to this website, this concert is being "presented by Concert West in collaboration with Serge Grimaux and Bestsport, a.s.". Perhaps you can contact them as soon as the presale is on.

It was the easiest place to get everything in.
I had my large 300mm lens in the back of my bag - the security guy (he seemed to be 15years old) just had a brief look in my bag and didn't even touch anything.
Possibly the Stones will imply there "everything's forbidden" rules as 2017, but I guess the Czech security is the more relaxed type.
Even with metal detectors I was able to sneak in my Canon M5 and 200mm lens a few times.

I hope they really know what they are doing, because if there are some big technical problems with the wristbands or the readers, it is going to be brutal.
I remember when they did this cashless system last year to pay for stuff it was .. lets say not that convenient.

Just stumbled upon pricing and other ticket related info - copy from official FB site below (all caps comes from FB, just added EUR pricing -
[www.facebook.com] :-)
Key points:
- pricing structure is much simpler than rest of EU 2018 shows
- tickets are cheaper than Warsaw
- it will be CASHLESS event with RFID chips - not a surprise, given Serge Grimaux owns an RFID event cashless company, so this is a marketing for his solution. Typically, it's a big pain, so be ready & expect long queues for everything
- capacity: Front of stage for 15 000 fans, reserved seats for 21 000 viewers and capacity of the venue - 85 000 fans (taken from another post on the FB page)
Cheers!

Doesn't look good at all. Pit about 60% more expensive than what I paid last year for Stockholm and evan more than what I piad for Amsterdam! Unbelievable. And those wristbands - it will be a disaster. I remember they had a cashless system at AC/DC gig there 2 years ago and it was a total disaster and that was only inside the venue, for getting in there were regular tickets.
On the other hand I strongly hope this might help to avoid scalping. In that case it would be great, even if it causes some inconvinience, hopefully not too big. But those prices...
