I'm interested in looking at the Chicago poster and T-Shirts are there any photos of them

Probably not out quite yet. But look for Irix and/or bye bye johnny to post those photos as soon as they are available.

Arrived in Chicago yesterday evenining!

Enjoy! Weather looks perfect. As of now it looks like a high of 73 on Thurday. A bit cool but beats baking in the sun.

Why are some seats directly front and center on the “B-stage/end of catwalk” listed as “limited view”? Especially the first couple of rows? Anyone know what you can’t see from there?

Never been here before so its an adventure. Already saw a couple stones fans at the airport.

Seeing a band called Middle Kids tonight at the Thalia Hall. Tomorrow ill see the White Sox play against LA Dodgers.

Maybe so close to the catwalk that parts of the stage are obscured?

You'll have a problem seeing the stage because the catwalk is so high. If you're back a few rows (I was in row 6) it's better.

I'm 6'4" and I went and stood at the front of this block to check it out - I could /just about/ see the main stage. Would not recommend for anyone under six feet tall. As steffialicia said, about 6 rows back is better.

Taking the train up from St. Louis Wednesday, any pre-party day of the Thursday show anywhere?

Does anyone know if they will do the rehearsal on Wednesday the 26th and if the merchandising truck will be there that same day?

Don‘t think so.. I guess soundcheck will be on show day.

Question: What is the bag policy at Soldier Field? We plan on flying in morning of and heading back to airport after the show to catch a red-eye.

Hoping one of those small over-the-chest sling bags are permitted.

Thanks

I hope a Seahawks bag gets a pass.

Yes, apparently the single barcode is for all the tickets.

Doesn't appear you can download the QR code to your phone wallet for offline entry like you can with TM either? Or am I just unable to find a way to do that?

Sometimes that comes in handy if you have low bars or overcrowded network.

I miss paper tix. AXS doesn't even give you the option to pay more for paper tix like TM does. Topi-your Seahawks bag is fine, just don't bring a Packers one!

AXS I believe has their own app that allows offline entry.

Thank you

Thank you, I have the app but wasn't aware you don't need data access of any type to display the barcode.

In 1994 it cost the Stones $75k per night, 3 nights, to rent Giants Stadium.

Superdome was $100k per night for 3 nights as I recall.

Anyone know what they're paying to rent the stadiums this year?

I felt like in Chicago 2019, on an unseasonably chilly night in late June, the merch tucks in downtown Chicago on a Friday afternoon paid for the rental of Soldier Field.

The deals that artists and the venues do are really interesting and often unique.

Apparently Jimmy Buffet would get 105% of ticket sales at his shows, meaning that the venue had to pay him an additional fee because his fans consumed so much booze at each show that it was worth it for the venue.

Years ago I heard about a deal with a local artist: for every drink sold during the show they get a "little" bonus. That's not unusual.

By the way, there are still tickets left for the Tim Ries show at Martyrs on June 28.

Am I the only one nervously awaiting the song vote? Should be up some time today I would assume. Until then 9/23/97 Soldier Field show playing in my ear at work.

As of right now, looks like the high for Thursday is 71. May be a bit on the chilly side (for June) come show time.

Please note all the street and sidewalk closures for the Nascar event happening the weekend after the Stones visit.
