Has anyone outside US/Canada managed to buy VIP package ticket?

Grabbed Foxboro GA tix for $159 all fees included - great deal!! So excited for this tour

Just received email saying the merch package is on the way.last tour didn't get it till after the tour...

Which city and ticket was that for? I'd appreciate getting the merchandise early.

Looks like the Sixty stage but with Hackney diamonds theme - I could be wrong of course

Eh, If you compare these pictures to the leaked construction pics from Madrid 2022 you can tell this stage is a lot bigger and more substantial. Both stages and the 2014-2016 stages are built on festival however there are differences this time around that make me hopeful we'll get something cool.



The Sixty stage had one box structure and these meek scaffolding bits to hold the cheap frame that covered the stage.



This stage has much more substantial side scaffolding. likely to hold up more of the heavy LED Screens than the tiny screens we had last time, as well as any other decorative parts/Ornamentation.

So far we have a very sturdy structure and a good foundation for some creative stage architecture!

Unfortunately, looks like low cost, universal stage setup. Just the window dressing will be different. Hopefully, larger side screens than the Euro 2022 tour. Understandable though for a under 20 show tour nowadays. 3X this year! (NEW JERSEY, PHILADELPHIA & OHIO!

THIS ^^^^^

Why would they break the bank on a new stage for less than 20 shows?

I noticed that at least some shows on the tour are discounting tickets. Seattle had many seats at under $40 on StubHub, a bit more thru RollingStones.com. Chicago at $99. I did not pay attention on previous tours, but did anyone else notice this on the previous couple of tours? Scalpers panicking and trying to get some cash back? It seems crazy to drop that far a month or 2 before the show to me.

What I’ve observed is what happens every time for first party ticketing. Platinum prices drop until they become “Standard admission”. Platinum pricing is their get out of jail free card to change prices but I’ve never seen the so-called standard prices drop even further.

amazing you can buy seattle show for under $30 in 2024.
This is the good part about stadiums- everyone can attend.

Was 1981 low cost?

Nobody complained.

Right?

Of course they did.

Giant Stones stages are over. Have been for a bit now.

They (the Stones) can certainly afford to do a gargantuan stage, you know, the biggest ever...

It's not necessary. It used to be.

They could do a stage that resembles a small club/bar on a screen and people would love it.

It's not their age. It's reality. Whatever that means. Diesel is expensive. Fuel charges are a big part of the tour. A smaller stage means affordable tickets.

In general.

Has anyone noticed that there are plenty of tickets available for the opening show in Houston? Even the cheapest tickets for not even 70 USD can easily be purchased
Tickets Stones Houston

The show is not sold out?

Yes, zillions of tickets available in all categories. Probably the result of the greedy pricing policy earlier that scared away a potential audience.

Nothing unusual. It's almost always happens that the platinum and vip tickets that have not been sold end up for sale as normal priced tickets a few days before the show.

Far from it. There are literally entire rows of seats available.

yeah a couple of days back it was few tickets. But now something has happened, probably released VIP etc. So thousands of tickets available. Far from sold out. Wonder what the strategy is to fill it up.

I see a lucky dip strategy peaking it's ugly head out...though they are leaving even that really late.

LA 2 put literally hundreds of tickets on sale the night of LA 1. It was bonkers because the show seemed mostly sold out for weeks leading up to it. And yet SoFi looked full that night. No idea how and why they did it that way. The profits from what platinum tickets remained wouldn’t have been enough, I thought.

Ghost Hounds 3x? Pitiful. And, damn it, they’re playing Atlanta!
