Dan, weather should be perfect next Sunday, unseasonably warm this year. You should be able to get good seats for a really good price.

Glad to hear about the weather, I really wanted to check out the zoo so I added an extra day. Flight/hotel on points and even a cheapo "in" to watch the spectacle on the screens is fine with me.

(I got a little antsy last week with my points and 18 months of accumulated concert funding and went to Raleigh a few days ago for Judas Priest so I am starting to get the travel bug, especially since now is a great time to be flying and buying concert tickets)

Judas Priest is in St. Louis the night before the Stones if you want to see them again.

Glad I can help!

Kovach,

I think this is my last question about hotels:Courtyard by Marriott St. Louis Downtown West. 2340 Market St at Jefferson. Close to the Dome. Would you recommend it? I'll owe you 2 drinks if I see you! Thanks, Sockers56

I don't know much about that hotel, but it's probably close to a mile away, through areas you wouldn't want to walk at night. Not like high crime areas but you'll be all by yourself so you don't know what you'll run into.

Kovach, I finally reserved a room at The Marriott St Louis Grand. 2 nights $481. What do you think of the price?

I hope that's not per night. If not probably reasonable considering the nearby event. It's a nice place. Mind you I live here so don't stay in a lot of hotels here!

Yes, $481 for both nights. Do you have Facebook? I would like to send you a private message & perhaps get your cell as I was serious about buying you a drink!

I don't do Facebook, sorry.

Appreciate the offer but I'm going to be with a large group of family and friends so may be preoccupied.

Just let me know after if you had a good time and if my information was helpful, that's all the thanks I need!

Kovach, I will certainly do that. You have helped to eliminate a lot of stress since I have never been to St Louis. BTW, I live in Lansing, MI near MSU.

I can't, I have a prior arrangement the night before (near LAX)

Is the dome retractable or is it always closed? I guess if always closed it makes for perfect weather at the concert!

Always closed

Any news/pictures about preparing the venue?

While no vax/test proof requirements for the Stones.. seems a lot of other venues in St Louis are either requiring, or soon to be, requiring it.
Would have made sense to have events at the Dome require it, and also helped I'm sure for attendance numbers.

I plan to walk over to the Dome on Saturday evening to see if there is a sound check and to walk around and check out the set up.

There will be plenty of signs on the venue if they require vax, masks, proof, whatever.

I'll post whatever I see for others so they have a heads up.

Believe this National Blues Museum was mentioned earlier in the thread, looks worth checking out.
Walking distance to the Dome area hotels etc.

Think I'm going to shoot for a visit on the day of the show, noon-ish.
Would be fun to perhaps have an early IORR meet-up. Saturday also an option.


For those in town on Friday there also looks to be a decent blues concert there that night.

have 1 extra ticket... section 138 JJ, seats 1-6, seat would be within that group. We are easy to work with. 172.10 what i paid.... Also if interested will have a lucky dip for Nashville, would have to hook up in front of Nashville stadium. This is for who ever buys St. Louis ticket...that's 45.40..... at this time not wanting to sell Lucky Dip unless you purchase STL ticket.

Did you find a suitor for your lone LD Nashville ticket?

ATM i'm trying to sell the STL ticket, adding the Nashville lucky dip as a perk to help sell it. Whoever gets STL ticket has 1st takes on it.

so you need to wear a mask at the show ?

You don't have to at Cardinals games or in most of the area so doubtful. Have one just in case

Maybe a group of us can plan a trip to the National Blues Museum. It's walking distance from the Dome.

Anyone up for this in the early afternoon on Sunday?

Cardinals play in an outside Park, the Dome is a permanent Dome so considered inside. Masks are required.

12:00? or 1:00.

I don't see this as something taking hours to tour maybe an hour or so.

Plenty of time to still walk around the Dome and such.

Sounds good. 1 o'clock should work well.

I would be interested in the Blues Museum if a group is going. Maybe even lunch before. I’ll be getting to the Marriott around 9:30 AM. EMail is open.
