The Worst.

The only negative thing I can think off is the stupid idea of having seats in the golden circle. I was front row, and everything was cool and relaxed with people dancing around until some security guy decided to be the big boss of the place during YCAGWYW. Everyone had to show their ticket, and he flipped out if someone was a row too far away from his/her seat. A guy (stupid enough to argue) was thrown out of the place, with his children following after him. That ruined YCAGWYW and PIB for me. Can't remember much from those songs. For the rest of the show, Mr. Important made sure security was tight. No one in the first rows of A1 and A2 deared to move to the rails or anywhere else for a long time.

I experienced the same. But seats in the golden circle are not the problem or a stupid idea - it´s the local security with a lot of Mr. and Mrs. "Important" who are bothering people rather than looking for security.

They ruined at least 3 songs for me and one moment where Mick was right in front of me. The only thing I did was waving, dancing, jumping, cheering a little bit besides my seat, and it was a peaceful atmosphere of joy and nobody felt disturbed, but these security staff came over to start an argument, where nothing was wrong - enough space for emergency/escape path etc. I mean for those expensive tickets it is a real shame to be treated like that. And the band especially Mick approves the responding audience. I was really thinking about a complain letter to this security company sds-bw.de - but in the end it´s wasting energy.

Besides this - the show was GREAT. Thank you the Rolling Stones - bis bald!!!

As long as I go to concerts since 40 years there are cool and uncool security guys on the same events. The cool guys undeerstand the music and the fans give them freedom and just run essential security matters. The uncool guys doesnt like the band and their dancing fans are annoyed by the fun around them while they have to work and getting more and more silly behaviour towards the fans.
Bur: sometimes a friendly word to them even changes those guys a bit for better,
showing respect for their job is often doing wonders

Agree with both of you.

Last night it was especially one man who seemed to be in charge who wanted to do everything in his power to make sure people did not have fun. He looked at GC constantly, always shaking his head in frustration and was about explode every time someone literally stepped out of line. It was him who threw people out during YCAGWYW because they were standing between the seating sections and not directly in front of their seats.

Later he yelled and screamed at a cool and relaxed security guard because he didn't follow his strict orders. After Brown Sugar I went up to the that guard and told him that he was a cool guy but his boss was an a**hole. He smiled and said thanks, and his colleaague nodded in agreement. Luckily it was "safe" to retreat to the back, so I enjoyed a few songs leaning towards the wall in front of the stands with a good view to a brilliant show.

Just a random crew employee being kind? Or perhaps a particular crew employee

If I don’t get Pit with my LDs here in Prague, will try for the same

Same at Pit B. People were happy about it and the Pit B party was awesome.

LUCKY DIP MESS: I was first at the window and people were pushing like mad. We ask security multiple times before to secure the site. They didnt care. It would have been so easy to just organize it. Simple measures. Easy.
