Arrive much earlier then one hour.....get there by 4pm .....

Is FOS usually packed or will we get a decent spot (and easy access) if we arrive e.g. an hour before the Stones?

Dunno, but in Berlin Olympic-Stadium the GA-Standing was already packed at 7:15pm until the end of the two Sound/Lighting-Towers. Almost no chance still to get a place on the rail ....

How is the recent experience with FOS and arrival time?

That will be too late.in Southampton i stood in line at about 14.00 o clock .pit ticket.in Edinburgh at 13.00 o clock n had Gold Circle.then you will be in the Front.

1400 o clock with pit, are you joking? on several pictures pit looks quite empty 1 hour before the opening band.
thats the reason for me to bought pit tix to avoid 7 hours waiting on the field like in spielberg.

Looking for Jim and his wife from TX that we met in Marseilles at Marriott.

If you want to share expense/ride to venue. Pls e mail us. Marge and Bob from Chicago. Lawnrmb@aol.com

Anyone else from US without wristbands yet?

If you want first row pit, yes.
Jeroen

ok front row maybe, but not a good view? i prefer half of walkway and in the middle not at the fence.

I don't want front row, just a decent space in the FOS area - that area isn't too big right? GA is behind, so I assume FOS will have it's own entrance. So even if we are a bit behind we should get a great view?

FOS has own entrance (two actually, two sections sold separately on the website). It is a good view and best sound.

Sorry if this has already been asked and answered in the previous 29 pages of this thread, but how are lucky dippers supposed to get their RFID wristbands? Suffice it to say that confusion reigns already...

In RS.com official store, t-shirt price is 30GBP.
Then how much is the expected local price?
I will buy 2 or 3 shirts, but no idea how much should I top up.

I have Lucky Dips too and have no clue. They may be changed at the ticket exchange offices that should be there at the venue for all the people outside the czech republic who did not get their ticket shipped?

Is there any source that can be asked? Anybody?

I’m already in Prague. Thankfully it’s going to be much cooler today, approx 20C. Suits me. As a Scot, I’m not designed for scorching weather . I’ll go off exploring soon. I might go for a look at the venue site nearer show day.

Yup, but have you seen what Wednesday 4th is gonna be like ? Blazing sunshine all day and peaking at 28/29 degrees !!

Perfect for standing in line for around 7 hours ....

Yes I’ve seen it. If the forecast proves to be correct then I won’t be queueing for that long. Depends what my LDs turn out to be. My LD buddy certainly isn’t up for that sort of queueing though I usually am.

I just wrote now to the wristband support email address provided to ask about the procedure and the email was returned as undeliverable. Great...

So now I’ve written to a ticketpro address instead. Let’s see if they come back with the answer. Not holding my breath.

Rock on

This is Jim. We are on our way to Prague. I will verify the car and let you know.

We did not get wristbands either. We set up the cashless account but it would not recognize our ticket numbers. I emailed Many times, with some responses from them but they never got the system to accept our ticket numbers. I am afraid this will be a nightmare at the site. If they can't fix it over a week in advance I don't have much confidence in them doing it at the site.

Good luck to all.

BTW, Stuttgart was excellent. One of the best. This tour should have been the On Fire tour.

Four down, two to go.

Okay, thank you. I guess worst case is we gotta watch IORR on showday and look if somebody found a way.

Turns out I did a typo in the wristband email address, so it was my bad. So have emailed again and will see if anything ensues.

Worst case they took the money and ran! =P

Alright, hope they answer quick. I will send a mail too.

And yeah Topi, let's hope we don't get your worst case scenario

Welcome to Vaclav Havel Airport

Thanks Stonesdude

Will await your note about car. Let’s all grab a drink in any case. Arriving in Prague tonight .


Agree that we are likely up for a hassle with the wrist bands at the venue. But hope to keep rolling...

The Stones were on their way to Prague.

Takeoff was 1-Jul-2018, Stuttgart Airport, 16:20 CEST. Landing was Prague Vaclav Havel Airport, 17:01 CEST.
