Picked up 2 GA Field seats, a couple hours after the start of the presale for $172.

It was odd how they kept releasing little blocks of seats from 10-2, then nada.

Loads of VIP Package nonsense - with $96 and $147 tix marked up to $375 including some merch.

The Pasadena Gold Line metro train does not go to the Rose Bowl. Only city busses are available for public transit.

From Downtown LA it's 1 hour to the venue (40min via train + 20 min by bus).

Loads of close parking lots.

In the house - not the best, but not the worst, and at a reasonable price - sec. 6H row 30 at $147+.
My wife at 5'6" prefers to be off the floor, and in this case it worked out for me with a semi-cheap pair!
Looking now at available tix and there are several platinums in section 6L just a few seats seats away from us priced at over $500 each!

Come and say hello, I'm in 6L Row 7 (not platinum's)

Cheers Bluzdude - will do! thumbs up

Found this pic with a view from 6H row 19, so we'll be a bit above it, and you'll be below it and a bit closer to the stage in 6L - pretty darn good for the price!
Assuming you paid $147+ (or whatever the standard fee was for your seats), I'd say we came out looking pretty good considering all the BS platinums that have infiltrated the entire stadium!



Not a fan of his, but I bet Kenney Chesney wasn't charging an arm and a leg, and playing GOD with the ticket prices!!

This is a very important post. Notice that the lower side stadium seats (with fans) are not directly parallel to the stage and are positioned where you can see the drummer and entire stage. In other words no obstructed view. I recommend keeping this aspect of stadium shows in mind when purchasing tix.

Yep - Also beware of newly added seating, which equates to Fold-out chairs being squeezed into the regular field seats. Causes chaos and confusion. It has happened at numerous Stones' concerts attended over the years.

I mentioned this recently in another thread - Rolling Stones Voodoo Lounge 1994 at the Rose Bowl - I had a floor seat about half way back.
Buddy Guy and Red Hot Chili Peppers opening, , and when the Stones came on it was absolute chaos with most people starting to stand on their chairs! Being only 31 at the time, it was a blast, but not sure everyone felt the same way haha. Flash forward 25 years later, and if I have a chair I prefer to stand in front of it, not on top of it! And the majority of people at Stones shows these days probably feel the same way...those days of chaotic/out of control Stones shows are a thing of the past - the crowds have mellowed just as the band has.

Well - It happened to me at the 2015 Orlando concert. We didn't know what unmarked seat was or whom it belonged to. Of course ,a giraffe sat in front of me and my wife. We asked the animal to sit down but it already was.


After the concert, We saw same giraffe driving on I-4, in a convertible , of course. I gave him the finger - may be improper , however we were ignored any how.

I'm very judicial and careful about stadium seats. Damn I wish this was a arena tour. Last time was Boston 2 ( Friday Night). I refer to it as the ER tour. It was very enjoyable. They were on fire that night and as everyone in this forum knows, they can be hot or cold.

Giraffes sitting/standing in front of you haha - always a risk! Reminds me of being at one of Roger Waters Wall shows at Staples Center several years back - a friend and I had a great pair right in front of the soundboard for optimum sound and vision. He went in the aisle first and chose his seat, and lo and behold a 7 foot tall basketball player with a huge afro sat right in front of him. grinning smiley
I'm 6'2" and can handle most people in front of me, but my wife is quite a bit shorter at 5'6" hence getting the seats off the field for Pasadena - thankfully I'm only taking her to one show. winking smiley

The last great arena shows I saw were during 50 and Counting with Mick Taylor - all six of them actually, but the very best of all was Staples Center #2 - MT played on Sway, CYHMK, MR, and Satisfaction, and the rest of the setlist included Faraway Eyes, All Down the Line, and Keith playing You Got the Silver - even the warhorses were fantastic for that show!

My friend who is 6 foot 7 asked me for the presale code this morning. Maybe I should have pre-emptively offer him one of my spare last row tickets.

It just occurred to me: my own mother, alive in CO,
took my 1981 Rolling Stones concert tickets from me the day of the show.
The story gets worse, but it was 1,000 years ago, forgive love blah blah.

I could ask her to buy the tickets, a room, she fly’s I drive.

I hate the rolling stones.

ETA. I don’t hate ^.

Enjoy, 35. I guess I've got to accept that attending the NY show will still not be "enough". I'll keep you posted.

I've realized over the years that when the Stones are touring, once is never enough - especially this late in the game!

As the orange pink sun sets in a clean aired California,
I can’t help but think about this show again, LOL

seriously it was wonderful at ‘No Filter 2’ England when we got 1/2 the show at twilight.

Agonizing right now. I looked at Ticketmaster. I can’t break bad the week BEFORE the show I’m set for
I don’t know I don’t know it’s like buying crack I would imagine.

I went to Ticketmaster to see $29.99 Lucky Dips (not sold there right ha ha)
2 on Ronnie’s side PIT. I can’t do it.

It’s not the prices of tickets I’m not fishing for a free ticket (lol) I’m just crazy I can’t take another weekend in May for rock n roll 1 is enough
I’m signing of your Pasadena thread,
signed
Happy in Santa Clara

Dust off leftover Twickenham shirts, then double the price.

Anyone knows if after the show is hard to back to Downtown LA? I tried to book hotel near Rose Bowl but the prices are crazy expensive on the concert date...

Any recommendation will be read!

Plus, there are a ton of nice Airbnb options in the Pasadena for under $50/night. If you prefer a hotel, see if there's anything available in adjacent Glendale.

The Gold Line is a mile away from the stadium and runs late on Saturday and that goes downtown where you can connect to points beyond.
