I must be thick because I am lost with this whole LD thing.
What is it that you're asking exactly?
Looking for LD for Pittsburg but when I search for tickets I don’t see the link.
Look, Pittsburgh Lucky Dips went on sale last year. They first announced the tour in February 2020 and tickets went on sale then.
Thanks Topi. I appreciate the information. I get it now. Cheers
Pittsburgh Lucky Dips, as well as the Lucky Dips for any of the rescheduled shows, are long gone now.
Today was the onsale for Lucky Dips to the newly announced shows: LA and Vegas.
Your only shot at Pittsburgh Lucky Dips are if anybody still decides they cannot make the rescheduled date and get a refund.
Tried explaining this before. See the Lucky Dip thread.
Any Pittsburgh Lucky Dip tickets will be available in this link: [www.ticketmaster.com]
But I'd give it a few more weeks before the refunds start coming in and Ticketmaster puts those LDs back in play.
And remember they will be guaranteed scarce.

For Topi & others: What can we learn from the LD experience? I had 2 browsers open: One to the Rolling Stones web site & the other at Ticketmaster with the LD extension. It's true I got SoFi LD & I am grateful for that. I also had my phone on as well. Repeatedly, kept getting LD for Vegas only to get an error message to adjust quantity or someone else got the tickets. Should I have paid more attention to the RS LD links. I don't recall seeing them before 1:00 PM (my time). But, then again, things were happening so fast. I don't mean to keep beating this dead horse even more but would like to know how I could have improved my chances. Thank you for all your time.

I did similar, and only went through the Stones LD link (was unaware TM even had a link, first time- I believe).

Sockers56 actually came up with a great idea.
We now have ALL Lucky Dip links in one place here:
[www.ticketmaster.com]
I hadn't realized it before, but it seems that if you add the extension "?did=lucky" to the artist's tour itinerary/show list address, and then click on a particular show, the TM website seems to keep the extension, thus taking you to the Lucky Dip link.

You might want to keep in mind that is is really pretty much it for LA and Vegas Lucky Dips.
These shows were newly scheduled shows, never postponed or rescheduled, so refunds won't be available.
(Now there's still a possibility that some credit cards don't clear/people bought over their limit and TM cancels those orders, but really, the chances of any LA/Vegas dips reappearing are quite slim.)
What you may want to watch for other shows is when the refunds start coming in a couple of weeks from now. Then get on the link I posted on page 22 and above. That's all the Lucky Dip links in one place.

I am aware that some of the UK shows dropped Lucky Dips closer to show day back in 2018. Coventry and Southampton too? (I didn't even remember London did).
EDIT: I went back to the old threads, and it seems that in Paris 2017, LDs were dropped just days before the first show, and even so, that you could actually buy pit tickets for the price of a Lucky Dip:
[iorr.org]
Dublin 2018 dropped some LDs a few weeks before the show.
[iorr.org]
As well as the UK shows, apparently all 8 of them, not just London:
[iorr.org]
The rule of thumb, however, is that LDs are sold out on day 1 of the general onsale and no more will appear.

The links I posted (the ones with the extension) and the links on the Stones site were the exact same ones. (Of course they were). So it wouldn't have mattered which way you accessed the sale. Same link.
I think the "adjust quantity"/"someone else got the tickets" error messages are just error messages related to the availability or the system just not being able to secure a certain pair of tickets into your cart.
Some people were getting the "unable to process request on this device" which I believe is a browser/cookie issue.
Just a queation, Sockers56: were you logged in on the same Ticketmaster account on separate devices, or did you use separate Ticketmaster accounts?

On my wife's phone, I was signed in to a different Ticket Master account under her name. I was getting the same error message on her phone. I also had my laptop open to two different browsers: One For RS.COM & the other was a TM account with the extension. The strange is when SoFI appeared I was able to snag those tickets.

You really couldn't adjust the quantity of tickets yesterday. It was preset to a pair.

Damn you Mister D for getting both LA and Vegas!! I was only able to get LA. I am going to look at buying lowers close to the edge of the stage on Keith's side, but I know it's going to be very expensive.
Alternately, a friend here in Montana got a pair for Vegas and he is going to offer it to family members first, but if not, then he will sell them to me.

I still say there was no way to adjust the number of tickets, but then again I don't have the TM App and I don't know how that works.
The 2018 UK glitch actually allowed people to choose anywhere between 1 to 6 Lucky Dips at first!
But mind you, the 2018 UK ticketing was not handled by Ticketmaster, it was AXS. So there's no way people could have discovered the "1 to 6 Lucky Dips" glitch on their TM App.
Sockers56 hasn't said he adjusted the number of tickets at all. From what I gather he just clicked further and then encountered the "adjust your search" message.
To me it sounds a case of when, at the moment you submit a request for tickets, the ticketing computer can't find the tickets you requested.

It was AXS, not AEG. And the # of LD tix was adjustable on their website too
Smoke'em if you got'em bud!

The best LD glitch ever has to be Paris 2017. Buying a pit ticket for the price of LD. Wow.

Yes I remember for Paris 2017 people were able to buy lucky dips and choose the section they wanted at the time of purchase so people were buying pit tickets for around €50 which was good as I remember many people bought pit for face value during the initial sale only to have them outrageously rescinded by the ticket agent.

Got Charlotte,Tampa, Nashville, Atlanta, LA and Austin LD's. I may have to refund my Charlotte and Atlanta because I just got told a few minutes ago I will be driving the Stones to/from their shows in Charlotte and Atlanta. Also gonna be good to catch up with the tour manager who I've known a few years from working with him on numerous other artist's tours.. It's Only Rock and Roll But I Like It
Is Marty Hon still doing it?
