Hi everyone.
I'm planning going to Phlly. I've seen them only twice (Miami 1997 and Puerto Rico 2006) and my other options are Miami or Jacksonville.
I'm looking for the best vibe and the best crowd.
Out of these three cities, which one would you recommend?

Thanks
Manuel

Same presale code CLOUD valid for Philly

Still not sure what to make out of GA Field tickets... What do you think of them value for money wise (compared to other tickets not in general)

Popped for 2 in 119 thru AEG presale... 5 minutes in the waiting room.

Looking forward to my first return to Rock in Philly, after seeing Roger Waters and Eric Clapton do Pros and Cons at the old Spectrum in '84...

Oh yeah!

Got our tickets delivered the 13 Dec,section 3

Hi Philly people--I have a quick question. I am coming from out of town for the show and staying at the Fairfield Inn Downtown/Convention Center at 261 South 13th street. Is there public transportation/easy way to get to the stadium for the Stones show from where I will be? Thanks in advance.

yes....the broad street subway line can get you there in 20 minutes which includes walking to the station, waiting for the train and getting to Broad and Pattison all in 20 minutes. You are staying at a very nice part of the city btw. You will have no trouble getting to and fro using the subway.

Thanks a lot AlmostHearYouSigh! I really appreciate the info. I land in Philly the afternoon of the show and was worried about being stressed trying to get to and from the show and that's a bummer on show day. You have made me feel much better. Thanks again.

Got yesterday no filter pit tickets for face value on TM page....

Also booked a hotel and flight....

Looks like I'm going to at last have a chance at my show, assuming I can get my damn cancer to give me a break at just the right time.

I live about 30 minutes away, so all I need is the ticket. My strategy is to watch StubHub, etc as the show approaches. On day of, I'll evaluate my health situation, and if that's good for the day, I'll wait for something to drop at the last minute and then pounce on it.

I'll try to find a nice comfortable seat in a club box or similar. I did this when I took my son to see Kiss in March and it worked out nicely. In this case, given the cost, and my sons complete disinterest, I'll probably be purchasing a single ticket.

Assistance needed with Ticketmaster / Philadelphia

Hi everybody,

I was aiming to see the Stones in NJ on June 13th and 17th, travelling from Europe with a non-cancellable flight. Due to the rescheduling, I’ll miss the shows and won’t make the extra trip to NYC either.

As it happens, I’ll be in Washington DC in late July and have been trying to get a decent seat for the show in Philadelphia. For NJ I had a section 1 seat, so I was so happy to see that there were section 1 seats available for Philadelphia about an hour and a half ago. But since all the available seats are “in pairs”, the system won’t let me buy just a single seat!

I chatted with Ticketmaster twice and even called them, but all they kept saying is that I’ll have to buy the tickets online. So am I basically forced to buy two tickets? I don’t remember this being the case as I was buying the tickets in the presale for NJ1 and NJ2.

Does anybody have any ideas how to solve this? Thanks!

Hey kiddos,

Living in Halifax now I had told myself I was done seeing the Stones but, as good luck has just stung me, I am going to be able to see them in Philly, one last time.

This is all thanks to a very generous cousin-in-law who knows how much I love the band. Given that the show is on a Tuesday and he has to work the next day I'm guessing it'll be show and then home for him whereas I have no reason to go to bed early.

Are there Stones events happening after the show? Before the show even? I'm debating grabbing a room somewhere for that night as he lives out in the burbs. I'm also free all day to do whatever the Stones fans are doing.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Check on the Shidoobee page for party/meet up info.

Now that I'm going to Jacksonville I'm thinking of driving up to Philadelphia for this one (already have LDs) but don't know this city at all.

Anyone familiar with area willing too chime in on regions maybe just outside city for motels/hotels for those of us driving? (Guessing downtown is like any other city cost-wise)

Public transpo in outlying areas? Or would you recommend driving in?

Yes, downtown Philly is definitely more expensive than outside the city for stuff like hotels. There's a pretty good rail system (SEPTA) that'll get you from many of the less-distant outlying areas (e.g., Bala Cynwyd, Conshohocken, Villanova) into the city. All 3 of those are safe and fairly close to Center City. And from there you could take the subway (or an Uber) to Lincoln Financial Field.

Another option is to stay at an airport hotel. PHL is close to Lincoln Financial Field.

Hope this helps! (P.S. I live in the suburbs of Philly).

It does help! Thx drew

And thx as well @exilestones

Any idea what time you can pick up Lucky Dip tickets. Also what time is the band expected to go on. Thanks

If you are the LD holder, Ticketmaster will send an email. The email will have the info you are looking for.

Chi 1 will call was at noon. Landover was 330. I think both times, 830ish was stones time.

Thanks for the info

Is the Mail sent out the day before the event or on show day?

The Lucky Dips pickup time in DC and New Orleans was 5:30. Chicago was 4:00 and Foxboro was 6:00. The email they will send out will have all the relevant Lucky Dips info.

I received an email (Foxboro show) 2-3 days prior to the show.

A bit off topic but just wondering if anyone is also going to see Elvis Costello and Blondie the next day in NY.
I'm still debating...
