In the past, how easy has it been to get face value pit tix in Paris or Rome closer to the show date? Are ticket drops as common as the US?

Small

But they put on every ticket on sale directly, not like the us. Also everything is face value

At least i hope it stays this way

Oh, the Stones have used dynamic/Platinum pricing in Europe before. TM wordage for it is "Platinum", Eventim likes to call them "TopSeats" or something similarly stupid. While the price doesn't necessarily fluctuate as heavily as in the US, there's still a markup going on. End of the day it's exactly the same thing - they're scalping their own stock and trying to see how much the market is willing to pay for a ticket.

And there is no way every single ticket goes on sale on day one.

Drops happen. They have happened before.

Get lucky.

What does this mean? They release all available seats/PIT on first day of sale?
Thanks in advance

Negative.

You have to be in the right place at the right time.

Don't be Dr. John McClane. Even if 'tis the season.

if anyone wants to buy PIT tickets and golden circle seats (only in Germany) that are relatively close to stage they should do so when tickets go on sale. There might be later ticket drops but as far as I remember they never reduced tickets prices for pit tickets or premium seating.

I never said they reduced prices. By "drops" I mean more face value tickets being put on sale after Day 1.

Oh, and happy US Thanksgiving!

We've got more than a few reasons to be thankful for with this band, eh?

I didn't say you did. My point was that it doesn't make sense to wait to buy PIT tickets or seats close to stage. It's different with other tickets, though. Sometimes there were special offers with sharply reduced prices a couple of weeks before shows. For the shows in Stuttgart 2018 I bought a ticket for my mother for 100 Euros at eventim (the original price was 240 Euros).

I don't think waiting for prices to drop was the original point. The discussion was about availability of pit tickets per se.

But you're correct in other types of tickets besides the pit having been sold at discounted prices in years past.

Lighten up, Francis! Be thankful!

Thanks, everyone, for your advice!

I'll try to get regular price pit tix when they go on sale then sell them here if I can't make it. But I'm hoping I'll be in Europe this summer...

Is it confirmed somehow that the show in Paris is at the Stade de France. It’s the sole stadium in Paris where they can pack 80 000 people for a farewell concert. Longchamps was a huge mistake: too small, poor sound, poor ambiance. Do remember that they were the first évent to open SdF in 1998. They always were great there.

Hello,

it surely depended on where you were.

For me it was a magical show, great ambiance, perfect weather and exceptional sound. Exceptional sound quality, I repeat.

No issues with sound in the pit at Longchamps.

And I stayed just across the bridge in Suresnes so no issues with getting to and fro.

Certainly not in 2007, one of the worst concerts I've ever attended. A SDF with barely 50,000 spectators, Keith completely lost and uninspired, Ronnie inconstitute as too often...

Longchamps was probably my favorite gig in 2022. Think they played great, location was set up well and the miniature Eiffel Tower with the Tongue was very cool. Stadiums are more comfortable but this seemed more like a special event.

But we got CYHMK, WOAF and ADTL plus I got to piss off some stupid cat who didnt get Keith's affection with WWII -memorabilia.. but yeah those black covers on the 3rd stand weren't very encouraging...

And even Keith on a lost day in 2007 in Paris is worth more than 100 Billion twats in a bush as in about 10 years when everyone is gone we are just gonna be GRATEFUL. God am I the luckiest Man to have met Keith Richards and Charlie Watts shaking their hands and then listening to them live before and after.
These are the Last times of the dying breed of Rock n Roll and indeed any last time of any human breed at all.
Just enjoy it while we can!

Max,

When you're looking up the hangover cures later...

Try to ignore the ones mentioning any "hair of the dog".

I guess a concert in Berlin in 2025 is just a rumor.

The article just quotes the other article already mentioned here and repeats the July 12 date for Munich.

"Konzerte in München und Berlin 2025?"
[www.swp.de]

And maybe the Olympiastadion in Berlin.

What about the rumours of Prague, someone claimed few pages ago?
So we have now: Rome, Vienna, Munuch, Berlin..? Pretty boring...

Aye, will do Spud!!

Hippodrome de Longchamp is not too small.

It's a very huge site. It depends on the way you manage it.

There were 85.000 people for each concert of the Stones in 95.
At the Dangerous tour of MJ there were 90.000 people.

And Pope Jean Paul II gathered 1.000.000 people for a great mass to close "JMJ".

That's not all we have.

Barcelona is in.
London is in.
Amsterdam is in.
Madrid is in.
Paris is in.

Always so boring with a Stones tour.

The Pope closed a gig of Jean-Michel Jarre with a mass?

No, JMJ gave a concert in his hometown Lyon on 5-Oct-1986 in honor of the Pope's visit and the Pope blessed the crowd just before the start of the concert - [JMJarreFan.Wordpress.com] .

Edit: with the French abbreviation JMJ was meant the ‘World Youth Day’ in Paris, 19-24 August 1997 (Longchamp racecourse) - fr.Wikipedia.org.

All will be revealed in a few short weeks.
