why should they change it? It's their way to avoid empty seats near the stage

Better yet, why don't you both buy a pair to see who draws the better tix.

but would it actually be possible to re-sell the leftover ones outside the location then? Cause I thought someone on the tour thread mentioned that you will be led inside as soon as you got your tickets to avoid them being re-sold?

At this point its 50 50. Try and work thru your differences and hopefully you have a future together.

They will go on sale when the general onsale starts (likely Friday morning). The ticket agency handling the sales will be whatever agency is in charge of ticketing to a particular show. In Germany, for instance, it will be Eventim. However the Lucky Dip links will be available through the Rolling Stones website.

It is different for each venue in my experience. Vegas was the only one this past year that I went to that made you go right in. No problems in Pittsburgh or Tampa doing it.

You don't have to register for Lucky Dips, you just click the link on the Rollingstones.com tickets/tour page. There will be a "Lucky Dip" link next to each show that offers them. Hyde Park likely will not.

there's no way to resell them. But if you have a spare LD ticket you'll easily find someone here on IORR to come/team up with you. At least that's they way I got rid of my LD spare tickets in the past…

Sometimes people want to actually buy spare LD's. They post "looking for spare LD" ads here.
According to the rules it is for bidden to re-sell LDs, but ... if somebody wants to give you money for the spare pair, that's between you and them, right?
Most of the time the box office will not care what you do with the tickets and most of the time you are indeed free to go wherever you want after picking them up, they won't escort you inside.

Some times I get early to the PIT (That is where I like to be). Then it is great, especially in Europe, to see all those fans who enter the PIT with a great great smile, having Lucky Dip tickets. It is a lottery, but there is fair chance of getting PIT tickets. Still, to be honest, The Rolling Stones are great in any place of the stadium, once you are inside.

Hmm yeah that makes loads of sense hahah, especially if it's in Munich and we were there like 3h early to pick up the tickets, they cannot force us to go inside the stadium, I mean maybe we wanted to take a walk through Olympia Park before lol

the way LD tickets are handled differs from venue to venue. In Munich it was as described above (in Stuttgart, London and Dublin it was very similar). But in Hamburg, Düsseldorf and Berlin in 2018 as well as in 2014) you had to enter the venue right after you got your LD tickets

Thanks for sharing your experience! So as I see it, either you just buy as many Lucky Dips as you actually need, or in case you have spare tickets, find people who might want them and meet up with them before going to pick the tickets up

I usually buy one pair of LD for each show I want to see. Then I ask friends if the like to go to the show. If they don't want to I post an offer on IORR and usually pick the first person who contacts me and meet with them at the venue. Right there I use my 'golden hand' and pick up the LD tickets, usually I score pit (Hamburg, Munich, Dublin, Berlin) or golden circle (2x London and Stuttgart, but somehow made it to the pit at all three shows). I failed only twice when I scored normal GA (Düsseldorf, Prague but at Prague it was not my 'fault')
