Thanks for the input/tips everyone. I love loud music, but my ears do not. So I'm wondering if the pit is going to be louder than the rest of the venue.

Yes, it's pleasant loud -- not too loud (I didn't need earplugs), but for my taste in the General Admission area the sound was often not loud enough in the past years. The times are over when my thorax vibrated along with the drum beat of 'Not Fade Away' during the intro of the Voodoo-Lounge-Tour ....

And noise aside, one of their best openers ever.

One thing I would say is stand towards the middle of the stage. Generally I find that the volume in the pit is just fine (without ear plugs), but in San Diego 2015 I was 5th row right in front of one of the speaker stacks - my ears were ringing for 3 days.

I always bring a pair just in case...a couple of times have had to use them and glad I had them with.

I'm thinking of buying pit tickets (never been in the pit before).

Get a pair of etymotic earplugs. I find they protect my ears very well, somehow seem to clean up the sound, and you can still have a conversation. Then head for the Pit!

WHAT THE @#$%&!!!
you’re wearing earplugs to have a conversation during a very expensive concert? Meanwhile annoying people who come to enjoy a concert (in the Pit)!
Well you’re free to do as you like, it’s your ticket, you’ve paid for. But not my idea, and I think a lot with me here as Stones fan and music lover in general.

I've got those: very effective. They come in 2 sizes so you might have to buy 2 pairs before getting some that fit (I did). Not the kind of thing you can try on!
Maybe the stones if tour is cancelled/long postponed should do one TV/Netflix appearance or programme instead.Quote

From the IORR news:
The Rolling Stones Tour 2020 in danger due to the coronavirus
The coronavirus COVID-19 is today declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization, see the report WHO characterizes COVID-19 as a pandemic. With the current and soon to come extreme limitations in local as well as global travel and crowds, it seems unlikely that The Rolling Stones will be touring in 2020. An official statement from the band is expected within the next few days.

It's not safe to put all those elderly people in a studio together, the Stones should stay hidden on their private luxury resorts.
