The ticketing isn’t managed by the venue, so I’m not sure how much someone at the stadium would or would not necessarily know, but the question is whether and when anyone saw significant general inventory available or was able to buy it. I never saw it and I don’t think anyone else did here, either.

Here’s what I have seen in Philly: limited to no general availability at the start of the DIAMONDS presale. There was decent availability of packages and premium seats, and very limited general inventory you had to hunt for. I have seen reports of a trickle of pits and rear GA bought by people here but otherwise almost no reports of buying tickets at face. There *were* lots of seats available in contiguous blocks in the rear of lower sections in the AARP presale at face that were managed as separate inventory - those presumably have sold, but nothing in the front.

Now, I got in a couple minutes late in the first presale and did not check the venue presales yesterday, but other than the AARP never ever saw very much other than premiums and packages available and I think that’s largely consistent with what others have said here.

Is there any choice how to get the tix? By e-mail, by shipping, pick up at the box office?

In the LD thread, I hazarded a guess that it is something to do with local lottery laws, like Buffalo 2015, but I don't actually know.

Got it. Back to my original question, do you know how long after 10AM local the LD links showed up for other shows?

Maybe the Eagles run things differently, but for The Stones, it's true. Keep watching over the next weeks/months. We've been here before.

I understand how this "works" as I've been going to shows all over the world for the past 30 years.

I'm telling you, outside of turning on "resale" and maybe a few rows opening up closer to the date of the show there will NOT be "thousands".

And it's not about the "Eagles doing things differently". He oversees the actual box office for the venue and all onsales.

But by all means, feel free to post / message me when I'm "wrong" in a few few weeks.

they want to sell out the show one day in advance. This would mean they had the optimum pricing.

Agree, they hit it just right in terms of pricing, presales, demand, a high likely hood of this being their "last US shows" (I know eye roll) and a fan base / demographic that will spend.

About 10 mins **before**

@livefromuk - I may be biased because I do always find affordable tickets on resale sites and even some drops on TM or other primary platform. And I check often enough to see the new seats appear. Like a whole new row of 8 that was not even there they day before for One Direction in the stadium for my nieces but likely production holds and adding another row once production finalized and other things like that. Also we always find GA PIT at face $499 range off and on throughout the run up to the show. One or 2 at a time and also a few random LDs that show up off and on. I also buy friends last minute tickets and tend to find some.

I know the resale sites buy blocks so I guess I think of show as "not sold out" because I can always get them on resale sites (I buy immediate transfer only to ensure they show up in my mobile app right away)

Totally get it.... for Philly specifically, it's typically one of the easier venues on the East Coast to get tix for, compared to the other major markets NJ/NY, DC or FL, esp. with stadiums.

Compared to previous Stones stadium tours, I've never seen them move this many tickets within 10 min of the general on sale & presales. (At least at the Linc, my memory can't go back to the Vet any more, lol.)

For shows at the Linc (minus Taylor Swift) you typically see rows and rows of Platinum and/or VIP tickets still available well after the onsale starts, not this time. I do anticipate tickets drops happening but I was trying to set realistic expectations that there will not be "thousands" of tickets dropping which tends to be the normal pattern, get fans all worked up, buy over priced tickets, etc.....
