I'm fairly tall, what's the best spot in the pit to be?
And what time should I be in line?
Behind the short people. You should be in line before the concert ends. Whatever you want.Quote

I'm not telling you, cuz otherwise you'll be the first one to catch Mick's shirt when he tosses it!

I'm 6'4" and my favourite spot is at the back of the pit, Keith's side, about 6 feet in from the catwalk. Close to the action but can see both sides of the stage.

Exactly where i go and where I'll be for MetLife 1 and 2 Keiths side naturally. Though Ive always enjoyed Ronnies side too especially during Licks when we had so many gems like CYHMK. Watching his solos and his slide work is fascinating at times.
For Foxboro I went for A2 row 2 right in from Catwalk.
Noticed that on the last leg as well.Quote

I always choose Keith's side, but ended up with Ronnie's side with LDs in Cardiff, and actually quite enjoyed it. You see quite a bit more of Mick on Ronnie's side, for some reason (or at least did that night). The big disadvantage is that you can see a lot more of Chuck.

Also noticed that at the end of the catwalk/t-stage he spent much more time on Keith's side of it.. I positioned myself on that side of the Golden Circle (and GA field) as a result, including Cardiff, which was an exceptional show

I was in keith side for Prague this year and was disappointed to not see Charlie because there is a cymbal in front of his head. In future it'll be always Ronnie side for me.

You don't really see the show if you are in the pit. You see the band, but you don't see the show. You need to be part of the entire crowd to see the show, way out of the pit.

Seems to me that tickets are not selling well at all. I dont think that it’s because the Stones have fallen out of favor, but the prices for a stadium show are beyond ridiculous. Who in their right mind is going to spend $300+ per ticket for a nosebleed seat 3/4 of a football stadium away?
Will they lower the prices at some point to get people in the building or are they happy to play to stadiums that are 40% sold?

Not necessarily disagreeing with you, as sales are difficult to calculate at this juncture, but face value nosebleeds are available at around $90 at a lot of the stadiums. Besides a couple slow selling venues (Jacksonville/Glendale?) they appear to be selling well to me.
Can't judge the pricing on platinum or resale prices.. standard ticket pricing is still available (some venues and ticket locations more than others).
One thing we've learned over the last several tours, they will sell them, whether by more Lucky Dips, or Groupons etc. With this much time,the markets they chose, and price flexing, they will be full or nearly full by show time. Guaranteed.

I should have been more specific. I was talking about the Boston show. There are no inexpensive tickets period.
