Anyone know if the Start Me Up VIP package they sold comes with any perks like early entry? If not I may as well get mine refunded and buy a $495 pit ticket and get the same experience.
For those considering coming, go for it. As others have mentioned you can’t beat the prices and the city is fine. We landed this morning (quick trip from Austin) and the city is fine. Rain is drizzly but not hard since we’ve been here and we haven’t found any standing water.
Look forward to seeing some of y’all!

No early entry for VIP packages, info from another fan who bought them this time around. The tote looks nice, but if you don’t want the minor goods, I’d turn yours in for the regular pit ticket, if you can. Good luck.

If you can move about and on the floor, try to go either to the sound or the light entrances. Wait until after the show and try to get a set list if you are into that. I did and the light guys said: "It's the Stones".

The tote bags are very nice - large and heavy duty, insulated for cold drinks, and detachable shoulder strap...more like a collapsible ice chest.
When we arrived home from Chicago, a large box was awaiting (bought two Tumbling Dice VIP's at $190+ for great seats), and much to my surprise was the VIP merch.
Also included a couple of laminates, and a digital photo album sent to my email w/code with pics from previous NoFilter shows, etc., and a single pic from the Chicago 2 show - there were actually better pics posted here.
But it was the large high quality totes and the fine seats that made it all worthwhile. In fact I'd be happy to have similar seats at future shows for the same price whether the merch was included or not.

YOu can't cancel a show due to slow ticket sales. Who is going to buy your tickets if you do that
It does not happen. It is just something people think is happening. It is a misunderstanding. The Rolling Stones are prepaid. They would perform if just one person is buying a ticket (me).
They could offer the remaining tickets for free.

They call it Lucky Dip. If you can't afford a pair of tickets at $70 total then you should rather read a book or watch trash TV.
