About the London curfew at 10:30pm...
There was always a 10:30pm curfew when The Rolling Stones used to performe at Webmley Stadium. Twelve times in total since 1982. Every show used to start 8:25pm and finished 10:30pm sharp in time for the curfew. I think may be one time they did an extra minute or two, with the result a big fine. Also, I do believe the police pulled the (power) plug on some major act some years ago at Hyde Park, when they tyried to break the curfew.
Even if we do love rock music, others who live in a big city might have their own life. If there were no limits then there would be music and noise for them all night, and the more late hours people drink, the less sleep the locals will get. I don't mind heading home at 10:30, as long as they have been performing a great show for a couple of hours.
Also, keep in mind the fact that it isn't the actual show that is the problem, but all the stuff that hapens after the show is over at 10:30. First everyone of the 70,000 or so people will leave, with noise. Then the trucks will work and get the equipment out of the stadium. It will take hours, probably most of the night. Imagine you had a large stadium on your doorstep, then I am sure you would be happy about having a reasonable curfew.

Every category is sold out according to axs. Somebody ordered a lot of tickets in every category in the past 12 hours.
Yep, amazing. They still had availability this morning though Pit has been unavailable for a few days now after being freely available for many weeks.

If you click on the tickets page on the Stones website it says Box Office only. I highly doubt it's sold out. All remaining tickets for tonight will be on sale at the box office only.

I have heard that the Stones might be on stage at 8pm or 8.15pm.

Personally I don't mind curfew 10:30pm because I can't party all night long two times per week for two months every year.
This is also a great preparation for retirement, because then you get supper at 5pm and your pills at 6pm and they turn off the lights in your rrom soon after.

They also do this for most shows at a The 02 Arena.
Perhaps it's someone's job at London Underground.
it's a London Transport thing that started in the wake of the 7/7 terrorist atrocities on the network.

but BV, if you've been tailgating at all, you gotta time that last bathroom break perfectly to just before they come out, so none of the show is missed
