Some LD advice based on my direct experience from the 2018 UK Tour, where they were available for all the stadium shows.
1. Buy two Lucky Dip tickets and strike a partnership with another fan from IORR who has also bought two LDs. Then agree to meet up at the venue's ticket collection point. If one get's Pit ticket upgrades, you can both go. Then you can both give away or sell your two spare non-Pit tickets to other fans.
You can even try it if you get offered Gold Circle tickets from the LDs.
They are no guarantees with this strategy, but it worked for me a few times when I got Pit upgrades.
2. At the collection point, if you are offered nosebleed tickets, say you are a massive fan, etc. and really don't want to get stuck at the back (lay it on thick). Ask the counter person to please look for another ticket envelope. They should not do that, but I did that at Twickenham and the guy looked for another envelope and I got Pit tickets.
Good luck!!
Cheers,
SonicD

those things work in London because they released so many LD tickets. For the second show they had 1000 LD tickets instead of the usual 300-400. (I noticed that on my LD there was a number printed saying '592/1000')

We already know Ticketcorner revealed Lucky Dip availability for Bern. So yes, there will be LD's, except for Hyde Park.

Are you pretty sure no LDs for HP Topi? They had them for Prague last time but you’re definitely right that Festivals are much less likely than Stadium shows. Fairly sure they had them in that open show in Texas last year.

Will I need a ticketcorner Austria account to buy luck dips for Vienna via The Stones website?
For the show in Berlin 2018 a lot of LD tickets were Pit tickets.Quote

What do you mean by limited vision tickets or nosebleed? Are they behind the PIT and the Golden Circle or could they be worse?
I was just wondering if it was worth the risk. Thanks!

There is no risk associated with LDs considering the price. Yes they could be nosebleeds or side view etc., but they will still be 50% cheaper than the cheapest tickets.

In London I got Golden Circle für LD - not bad for about 35 Pounds.

Sorry, me again. What about if I have 2 LD tickets? (Me and my girlfriend) We will have two possibilities or just 1 chance for both? How it works? Thank you!

You could also buy two pairs (each one of you buys a pair) to improve your chances. Still a fair price. And then just give the "worse" tickets to somebody. People do this all the time and it's not even against any rules - because the rules say 1 pair of LD per person.

Ohh grand! Is it the price per 2 tickets or the price each one? Ie. If the LD costs 50€, is it 50 per 2 tickets o 50 each one? Thanks!

Done this many times, and typically even the "worse" pair are fantastic seats.
At least the last two legs in US. Nearly all the LD's have been either Pit or lower bowl seats. Good times
