Gonna be there tomorrow from Vancouver, Canada. At 35 weeks pregnant with my first. Everyone send good vibes that I don't end up having the baby at a Stones show....not that that wouldn't be cool, just that this Canadian just doesnt want to pay for American Healthcare haha (travel insurance doesn't cover over like 30 weeks or so)

Your baby's first show is going to include the debut of Tell Me Straight

Hope you have a smooth trip there and back!

I wish I lived in Seattle. Plenty of seats for around $32-$38 on StubHub.

Congrats! Have a name picked out for the baby? Ronnie if they're born with black hair? : )

My goddaughter is super excited for the show. She's got good musical taste. I just ordered us shirts from the site. No need to hassle at stadium. I think the gum wall shirt is hilarious. The Vegas shirt is awesome too. Should be a good day tomorrow. @javadave , you are correct, escape is important. I live in West Seattle so if I'm south of Lumen my escape is good.

My daughter is very excited for her first show tomorrow as well..
Ordering the shirt for her and a print for me from the store.. In Houston & Vegas they didn't have the event shirt..just the posters at the venue. Unlike in the past, the prints at the venue were unsigned/unnumbered. Also Love the gum wall print.. looks better on the print imo with the bricks etc than on the shirt. Enjoy the show!, I think we'll get something special.. Tell Me Straight is overdue

Grabbed tickets today - it looks like some sections had additional price drops anround 11a. Was able to pick Club Row F tickets. Excited for the show - Last time I saw them in Seattle was with DMB opening… 2006!

You got lots of boy names to choose from if it happens. If it's a girl it gotta me Chanel.

At the merch truck. No lines at all. They have a different Seattle shirt than on line.

Pair at $458/ticket pit B on StubHub

Grabbed a Pit B ticket. Spendy but less than they’d usually be. Let’s go!

If anyone is in Seattle and wants hassle-free merch-buying, then head to Lumen Field now. Servers outnumber punters at the moment.

However, as with Vegas, the city-specific design T shirt isn't available (the litho is). Surely a manufacturing issue - it makes no sense not to be selling them on site.

Quick logistics question: can anyone tell me (approximately) what time they’ve been taking the stage? Is the show running 8:30-10:30pm or closer to 9:30-11:30pm ?

Usually Stones on stage at 9:15pm, maybe a few minutes later. Could be as early as 9pm in some cities

They only make a small amount. I was there at 1 when it opened and grabbed one.Someobe needs to let Mick know he is leaving money on the table. It's different from the online shirt.

Yeah, I saw they had the generic one (same design for each show just with different city printed on the front). But I don't know why they are not selling the litho design T-shirts on site. They have done on previous tours.

This will be the first tour since 2006's A BIGGER BANG US leg that didn't sell out.

Kinda weird. Maybe (just) enough people are saying they're too old to pay the prices.

Or they're not playing enough new material. Who knows.

Weren't the stadiums hosting the first 3 shows full ?

No, they weren't.

And just go take a look at Ticketmaster for tonight's Seattle show.

Again, there are rows of tickets available.

Row 8 on the floor behind the pit, 8 seats together, face value? Not a problem. They're just sitting there.

Same with row 20, right off the end of the catwalk. You could get 10 adjacent seats there right now.

Surely, the prices being charged are too high? No everyone is a boomer with a disposable income!

I don't think it's only high prices. On this tour they don't sell out the cheap seats under $100! For Seattle you can even get lower bowl for that price and upper bowl for $60! But I don't know if they're now discounted or have been that price all the time. Even for Vegas you could get cheap seats/rear GA for months.

The prices have come down, at least for the less desirable seats.

I think it may be by design.. I ended up buying one of the generic city specific ones in Houston and ordering the "real' city specific one online. Would never had bought two different ones if they had both,.. Or it could be a manufacturing issue. Hard to say.

Crazy how many floor seats available, and the prices.. can get one for less than $200 on stubhub right now.
Pits are an easy grab too at face TM and below face on SH.

Are they reproducing any classic designs like 2006?, A couple of us got the 75' Jet Eagle (Great Raglan) then but in 2014 there weren't any official reproductions. I thought they left $$$ on the table at that time, like noted above.

How many places are still available in total (out of the 65,000 indicated on the IORR home page) ?
