Hairball
Two different twitter'ers ( twits?) have posted San Diego the 17th, with one mentioning Petco which seems a no-go due to baseball game.
The other has no mention of venue, but still, May 17th....hmmmm....a Sunday.....beautiful San Diego.... old stadium about to be demolished...can this be true?
We'll find out soon enough, but something tells me the date might be slightly incorrect.

Don’t know about the 5/17 date; guess we will find out soon enough...or not.
Regarding the venue, it’s my understanding that SDSU’s plan is to build the new stadium adjacent to existing SDCCU/Qualcomm/Murph (presumably in parking lot) with goal to play there in 2022. Existing stadium will remain open for business until that is complete, with no demo to occur until fall 2022 at the earliest. So they could certainly host a Stones concert in May 2020. Whether that’s the plan or not, who knows?
(If I recall correctly, Springsteen did some shows in the old LA Sports Arena months before it was demo’d for new LAFC stadium on same site. I don’t think a building’s imminent demo will deter a promoter from renting it...whether or not it’s a dump.)

Paul McCartney closed Candlestick Party. It was epic. Sort of like the Murph.

Think I saw Qualcomm Stadium mentioned as a possibility for San Diego

A bit OT and out of curiosity (and not that it matters haha), but who was the last act to play the old Madison Square Garden before it was renovated?
Never been to the old one, but have been to the new one back in 2010 or 2011 for a Roger Waters concert.

The old Madison Square Garden wasn't renovated, it was demolished and moved to a completely different location. I'm not sure who was the last act to play there but the first act to play at the present day MSG was James Brown in February, 1968.

Speaking of doing your homework, there have been some changes on Ticketmaster since the last tour.

Petco would be my preference for the reasons you listed hairball, but would be cool to check out the old stadium also for the reasons listed.
About a 15 minute drive from Petco to SDCCU.. wonder if there might be shuttles running from downtown area if at the stadium. I'm holding out hope that there might be another LA area or even N Cal show after the opener, Always nice to try to get two shows in on a trip when possible. Only a few hour drive for you and an overnighter I'm assuming?
Plenty of time to sort it out after the announcement..
Hopefully the dates will leak sometime before then

There is a trolley that stops at the stadium, you can get to all the Mission Valley hotels, as well as Old Town and downtown via the trolley. Also the train from LA can be accessed from the trolley in Old Town or downtown too. Check the train schedule, as the tracks and bluffs in Del Mar are being worked on during the weekends.
Thanks! Appreciate the offer. See how it pans outQuote

Yeah a short 3 hour drive (depending on traffic hell) to San Diego, and will make it a two or maybe even a three nighter as I have an aunt, uncle, and cousins that live down there, and we enjoy San Diego!
Been discussing some options with my wife, and decided no matter where the Stones play we'll stay downtown. If it's Petco (which seems doubtful) we're good to go. If it's at SDCCU we'll either cab or uber, but more than likely I'll drive us.
You're welcome to join us either way, but be forewarned I'm known to get road rage easily and drive like a complete maniac - especially to and fro a Stones show! jk I'll send you an email if you want so we can coordinate and discuss a battle plan.

Ticketmaster has introduced some new blockers - to get into a waiting room, we have to sign into TM and have a verification code sent to our cell phone. It will no longer let you into the waiting room without being signed in. And if you are signed into a waiting room in one browser - it will not let you sign into the same account with a second browser. Nor will it let you into a waiting room with the same account on a different computer or device.
I happen to have two Ticketmaster accounts and I was able to give both the same cell phone number and verify the accounts with that number. So if that will let me use two browsers - one account for each - is unknown. I might need a different cell number for each. But I'm thinking I might be able to get into Chrome and Safari with accounts A and B using the same cell number to receive the verification code for the waiting room.
So for Lucky Dips or pit tickets - we might have to collect additional accounts tied to cell phone numbers where the people will text us the verification code if we don't have the phone in our possession. We should test to see if the google voice phone numbers work. We're going to have to play around with this before the sales start and see how we can jump over the blockers. I haven't checked yet to see if I can sign up a third account (for Firefox or the app on my iPad/iPhone) with my same cell number - but I plan to test that.
