Congratulations to the Ricoh Arena management for making easy to read and accurate show information, probably the best info of the entire tour. And thanks to Irix for the update!

I know this is silly, but waited over 40 years for this official stickie and the stones to come back to the Midlands.

The day is now upon us.

The weather set to look good and fair.

The local group, the specials are supporting.

I have around 18 family and friends coming.

Hopefully bump in to some people off here, I will be the nutter dancing in the general admission with the white/blue tongue t-shirt.

Our meet up starts around 13.30.

Every one have a great sunny day.

I think I know what you're saying, I've had that feeling when I saw the sticky thread for the concert in my hometown in 2016, and it was so good to read that. Enjoy this moment with your family and friends and have a great concert! These will be everlasting memories.

Looking forward to seeing the show this evening and hoping for decent LD's but whatever hope everyone has a lovely time. Regards Art

If there was one show in England to attend this is the one!!!!! Special's/Stones/Saturday Night Wish i could be there..Hope the Special's get at least a good 45 Minute to an hour opener....The Joint will be jumping..Have a blast!!!! Good Luck to all The Dipper's....M

Staying with my sister and her family in Nottingham and being entertained by my nieces, 5 & 8. leaving around noon or a little later. My sister’s never seen the band and she’s my LD partner. Very excited about this show, the Specials are the perfect choice to support in Coventry.

My gig buddy for Southampton, a grandfather aged about 60 is still buzzing after that show, his 1st ever and he’s ordered 5 Stones CDs and wants to go to Cardiff.

Have a great day everyone and enjoy the show.

Stones plans spotted at Baggington airport.

Bah - my LDs are nosebleeds :-((

I just arrived to Coventry, and need to catch up for a meeting pount in the city. The two meeting places which have been suggested in the Coventry thread (now closed) are both near the venue, and opposite direction of the city (Coach & Horses, Greyhound Inn). Also, the "Slug & Lettuce", which I have checked out, is more of a family bar with plastic flowers, so I will post an update about a better one now.

Sorry! Happened to me in Dublin. you may try to be nice to customer service and see if they give you an upgrade, worked for me

Still very quiet at the stadium, 1700 LD envelopes, had no luck. GC is sold out apparently

There are no nose bleeds in this small stadium! It will still be great!

Bummer... did u buy them in the first hours or later on. Or did u pick yourself from a pile?


Enjoy the concert everyone!

Picked up at 11.30, was given a blank envelope from top of pile.

Just setting out.

Will be there around about 18.00.

Have a great time everybody.

If anyone need a meeting place in the city of Coventry on the day of the show, or after the show, then this seems to be a nice place:

THE EARL OF MERCIA (Wetherspoon)
18 High St
(corner of Earl st and Hay Lane, right in front of the Coventry City Council)

Yes, I do know it is another Wetherspoon, but it looks nice, and Wetherspoon do have great and cheap beers, also good priced food. Also it should be open until 1am tonight.

Have a BLAST everyone...THE ROLLING STONES!!!

The Rolling Stones played two shows in Coventry on March 6, 1971, at the former Coventry Theatre, in Hales Street, i.e. 47 years ago. I bet Mick will mention it on the stage tonight.

Lucky Dip: This time East Stand 25.
But the Arena is not that Big.

I'm just a Bad Boy Boogie

Arrived in Coventry, already stopped at Ricoh Arena straight from the station... tickets were waiting patiently for me!!

Thank you Jesus! Thank ya Lord!

Grabbed a bunch of merch, now waiting to check in at the hotel...

Had a great night in London last night, and met some very cool fans already!

Can't wait for the gig! Everyone enjoy themselves, I surely will!!

I will collect LD for my wife and daughter later.

If we happen to get any standing, I would swap for any seating, as my daughter is too young for standing area.

So if anyone wants to swap nosebleeds later, drop me a message and I will contact you.

Cheers Josef

I would change my 2 seating Tickets.
Would love to get GA or GC.
Even Pit would be OK.
