wait and see what the arrangement is and then buy one if theres a presale. You get your fee back anyway if you dont get tickets

I doubt that will be the case, in all honesty. Besides, most rs.com members will have used their passcode on this tour already. Would make no sense to limit it to those who still have codes outstanding or who have memberships before the announcement of what is just two shows

i recall hearing the Roseland in NYC did not release any either...

maybe AMEX pre-sale

thats what iam hoping for, my only shot the amex presale

tickets are gonna be hard to get but i'll still try

I think that low prices work against us. The brokers, who have better connections, resources, etc. (they probably have a dozen "legacy" memberships) will zero in on this. On the other hand, if tickets are $450, they are going to think twice, having been burned on this tour already?

i found out a legacy membership is a year old or older - my pre-May 9th legacy membership is nothing special anymore.

I HAVE ONE PRE MAY 9 LEGACY CODE LEFT THAT I RENEWED ON TIME AND NEVER USED...HOW IN THE HELL DO YOU GET YOUR PASSCODE? i DO NOT WANT TO WASTE TIME OBTAINING THE THING ONCE TICKETS ARE ON SALE!~

i'm about to start year 3 of that legacy membership - i used it for a europe show that was cancelled. i complained and they reissued me a new code for europe - which i didn't use - i hoped the beacon would come through and realized how easy it is to get FOS without a membership in europe.

i contacted RS.com recently wondering if i'd get another code for the US and was told that i'll be assigned a number when i log on to actually buy the tickets. i think i've done it that way with other rs.com memberships but i'd much rather have the code ahead of time.

yeah i want the code ahead of time!

copy paste copy paste really fast really fast
lol
;-)

Who do you trust? The guy in the box office or IORR? Well Bill C got a thousand tickets but they do still have 1900 for Sunday and 2900 for Tuesday to be sold to the public. I would hold on to any fan club code I had. The older the better. But to be honest, I am not sure if the Stones have decided yet how to get these tickets out to the fans. All I know is, they care, and they will try their best to avoid scalpers from getting their hands on them.

if i don't have a fan club membership/code, is there no chance of getting tix?

Yeah, i'm in the same boat. A good friend gave me tickets to one of the shows a few years back, and since I wasn't working at the time, I didn't buy the fan club membership.

I am going to try to keep optimistic though.

OMG BV i have already heard from scalper I have used in the past..$1850 and drinks and I am a shoe in on Oct 29 LOL!!! Well I am hoping ona legcay code that is unused since 2002(?) and can omly hope for the best!

The most sensible thing to do would be to sell those tix on the day of the show and only at the venue!
Just my opion.

But first you should give people who still have a legacy membership a chance. That's why they bought it in the first place. After that, I agree that they should sell those tickets at the venue. One ticket a person. How difficult can it be?

<<<< All I know is, they care, and they will try their best to avoid scalpers from getting their hands on them >>>>

And realistically, THAT is as much as we can expect of them. As Gazza pointed out, there simply isn't going to be any one single method of selling these tickets that's going to be either ideal or FAIR to ALL people. To achieve that simply isn't possible. However and wherever they eventually do go on sale is going to be advantageous to some, and inevitably disadvantegeous to others. It will be interesting to see what they do ultimately come up with.

Stay tuned folks !!

Hey Gazza, I have a line on a pair, do you want to go as my guest??? But you have to answer my last email first!!

LOL..the last one was the Foxboro photos you sent! Unless there was one since that.

Thanks for the offer, Debra. I'd bite your hand off for it (or anywhere else) normally, but I simply dont have the leave from work and have too many other things coming up in the next few weeks, so a trip to NY at the end of October simply isnt practical. I really appreciate the thought, however.

...and you call yourself a fan. Come on Gazza, you only live once! Go for it. Your wife will support you if you get fired, right?

Once? I've 'lived' many lives when it comes to following this band, Cindy. LOL

Not to mention spending enough for many lives as well...!

Simply aint possible. It excites me to know youre pleading, however, if thats any consolation....

Talk to the hand mister!

JK - I completely understand. It's crappy when "real life" interferes with what we want to be doing. Reality is WAY overrated.

Haha,

my boss told me yesterday that I didn't have time to go on hollyday. Then I had to disappoint him, that I would do a week NY if I can get hold of a Beacon ticket. He wasn't happy, but he knows who I am

Come on with these tix.

P

TWO theater shows, proof once again that nyc is the stones capitol of the world!!!
