I have to ask, I know it's trivial but it's been driving me nuts--why does everybody capitalize "PIT"? I mean, there may be a good reason that I just don't know.
To make it sound better. bigger, and more important than it really is?
In a massive US stadium show, not the best location especially right on the front rail. Miss out on entire stage production, can't see all band members, lower quality sound, and packed in like sardines.
There's good reasons those seats behind the pit are more desirable - you have a designated spot, and the overall audio/visual experience is better.
And it has to be said, if the US floor plans are to scale, those Pits look substantially bigger than the European Pits of 2017 & 18 so I really don’t think we’re comparing like with like.
It's hard to say before we actually witness the first show and get firsthand reports, but seems it's going to be quite crowded within the standing pit section even if it is larger.
Whereas in Europe you had standing Golden Circle and regular GA behind that, the US shows have a limited number of reserved seats behind the pit. Once the limited reserved seats behind the pit are sold, they'll pack in as many as possible in to the pit itself. There might be some sort of regulation as to the amount of people allowed in the pit, but pretty sure every square inch will be occupied.

Only 6 weeks to wait for that first show. It will go in quickly. There are sure to be people getting into the Pits without Pit tickets too. Last year the pit seemed to get busier with every show. I was at Prague and Warsaw, but not in the pit. I'm told the pit was packed at both.

Agree in Dublin the no filter pit had so much space during the show. At the end of the tour it was full packed

In the other hand the pit was empty in Stuttgart. At least on Keith side

Yep last year there were tons of people getting into the pit without having bought a ticket.
A funny example is the Warswa show, where I spoke to two young ladies with VIP passes in the PIT who I thought weren't that big Stones fans, but kind of enjoyed the show (at least until they left halfway through).
They told me they work as bar ceepers and served the management of the Stones the day before the show, they got the VIP pit tickets as a tip because the tour manager liked them.

I bought pit tickets a few times on Stubhub for the 50 and Counting tour and each time the tickets had no price, no seat location, just labeled COMP.

At what price did you buy them at that time?

It happened often in the past they picked up beautiful gals in the city for the front row... When they made a TV broadcast of the show ....so don't wonder... In the pits are about 40 % with VIP passes in my opinion

I don't think there have been any Start Me Up VIP PIT (yes, "PIT" all capitals!) tickets for sale for Pasadena (Keith or Ronnie's sides) for at least a couple of weeks. Do you think the PIT is all sold out (really sold out!) for Pasadena? Hairball, I think you have been watching the sales for Pasadena. What do you think?

Nice.
I don't think there's ever been face value pit's on either side for this show- not even during presales, though I wasn't looking until a couple of weeks after sales started.
May the prices continue to drop!!!

Thanks everyone who weighed in on the Pasadena show. It sounds like all PIT tickets may be sold. If the PIT tickets are all sold, do you think it is safer to buy a verified resale PIT ticket from TicketMaster or a PIT ticket from stubhub (or a PIT ticket from somewhere else!)? Thanks.

I think they will release PIT tickets later.
Don't give up !
They can't sell those VIPs on those ridiculous prices ! and they will release those tickets as normal tickets step by step later.
If you do not get tickets on ticketmaster till May 3th. you have enough time to buy it stubhub or other place. ( do not forget to check the "all sold out" section here in iorr)
I was hunting for PIT1 ticket for both NJ shows.
I got them after 95 days ticket went on sale.
I learned 2 things:
1. Pit ticket will be release late afternoon or night in your local time
2. They release PIT ticket approx every 3 weeks
Of course it is not 100% sure it is only my experience.
Good luck !

She said "face" value.. by definition there's been no price "drop".
Haven't we been over this??

Standard face value for pit is $495, that’s what mine was. I chose standard ticket, not premium or resale. Total with fees was $533.93. The package price is $1,500. I didn’t search for any ticket type but standard.
