Wow, some info that probably should not be available today about the Stones shows at Hyde Park in London. BUT is:
I looked on the American Express BST Hyde Park site [ [www.bst-hydepark.com] ] and was redirected here after trying to find out how much The Eagles Platinum VIP tickets were for comparative purposes. [www.festicket.com]
A payment plan for VIP tickets is a really cool idea!
Cheers,

Re: Hyde Park, what’s this ‘Gold Circle East’ and ‘Gold Circle West’ nonsense…which one is Keith’s side?
Was wondering about this as well but considering that on a map of London/Europe/the World east is always on the right and west on the left...east should be Keith's side
…unless the stage is set up facing the other way. They drive on the wrong side there so put nothing past them.

Can anyone tell me what the difference between ‘General Admission’ and ‘Primary Entry’ is? If I’m correct, could it be that the latter allows you to enter the venue at an earlier time?

OMG, THAT bus journey.....
Good detective work SD and many thanks for the heads up. Prices aren’t bad by Stones Standards. I’m minded to go for GA Primary Entry unless there are lucky dips available. Hope the bus driver on the way home doesn’t play Phil Collins this time

Hi STG. The BST festival has been running for 10+ years now and the stage faces North so It’s almost certainly West for Keith and East for Ronnie.

well, 30 minutes can be a difference that makes a difference. If the price difference is just 10-15% I'd buy the early entry tickets because it your chance to make it to the rail get better. But I think it only makes sense for the rail between the GA and the diamond section.

Rail between GA and gold level.

Yeah but what if you gotta use the toilet lol then your 30 minutes headstart will be all gone and for nothing xD that's why I'm thinking of normal GA or Golden Circle...

no stone unturned
How far away would “gold circle” actually be if you were standing at the back? It seems a long way from the stage.

I have been to Hyde Park several times when there was a Gold Circle and Platinum View VIP section as per that map. As someone else said, the Gold Circle is quite far back and further back than it even looks on the map.
If you are fussy about the distance you are from the stage AND can afford it, I would recommend going straight for the Platinum View VIP section.
The Platinum View VIP section is actually not that small either and is similar to both sides of the Pit combined (arguably larger) but I would not say it has the intimate feeling of being in the Pit.

That's a drag... experienced (and loved) the GC for the first time in '18 in UK.
With the "T-stage" they had there, I almost preferred it to pit-
Saw in the '13 Hyde footage they had a catwalk and small b- stage there.
Not sure if that was something the Stones added to the set stage, but hopeful they have it again.. Seems likely, but?

Thanks Gregor, nice to know! See you on the road…

Tomorrow Monday March 14 The Rolling Stones are expected to announce their 60th anniversary tour 2022 in Europe, taking them to large stadium and/or field shows in Madrid, Munich, Liverpool, Amsterdam, Bern, Milan, London, Brussels, Helsinki, Lyon, Vienna, Paris, Stockholm, and probably 1-2 more cities as well.
Many ask how to get tickets. The Rolling Stones are the world's greatest rock'n'roll band, and their tickets are hot. Still, if you keep calm and read what is told here on IORR, your should be able to get great tickets at face value. There are many tickets to be sold, the shows are large, and you should not have to worry about getting tickets, if you pay attention to the sales process, and how it is working.
Be prepared! Get ready! The announcement is Monday. Then there will be pre-sales, as usual, and you will need a pre-sales code, if you want to buy tickets before the public sales are on. Log into the ticket sales systems before the time they actually go on sale. Make an account there if you do not have an account already. Get hold of the pre-sales code, by adding your e-mail address and mobile number to the Stones list they will use when sending out tour information. There may be sponsor companies in each country, supplying pre-sales codes, like large banks, supermarkets, credit card companies and so on, with separate pre-sales. Information related to ticket sales will be available on the day of the show announcement, i.e. Monday.
There is an IORR forum thread with lots of information about rumored shows, how to get tickets and so on:
Tour 2022 rumors - The Rolling Stones
The above thread will be closed Monday, as soon as the shows are announced officially. Then there will be a new sticky thread related to the new tour, with important information related to the tour and the shows. Also, there will be separate threads related to each and every city the Stones will be performing in. These "city threads" will hold information about the city, the ticket sales of the show(s) in that city, travel information, advises about hotels and so on.
Also, make sure you read the IORR News, and the "Tour 2022" list of shows, they are both linked up on the IORR Home Page. Currently the list is just "rumored" shows, but that list will be replaced by the confirmed shows as soon as such information is available.
Finally, pay attention to their official site RollingStones.com, also their Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts, as teasers and updates are posted there. All officially confirmed shows will be listed on their official site, including pre-sales information, and links to where tickets are sold.
Make sure you are ready on Monday, also during the following days next week, when tickets are expected to go on sale.
The Rolling Stones were great on their tour in USA last year, and their 60th anniversary tour will be another success, with many smiling faces and happy fans. Enjoy - and good luck!

What about the RS app? It's s not updated. Last Euro tour was important to get tickets and all of that. A new one coming?

Sorry with the Concert layout (as per above). Why wouldn’t Lucky Dips be possible for the Hyde Park shows?
I’m really only interested in the London shows but not Liverpool, so the Dips would be the preferred choice to get tickets
