Any word on that?

Hopefully there wont be. What a sham that was last summer.

gotta believe they're using the same stage as last year, so gotta believe they are gonna schlep them onto unsuspecting fans again....

If I remember correctly, in yesterdays press conference Mick said that some of the crowd would be onstage with the band .... that sure sounds like onstage seating to me .... just like the last part of the tour.

I thought thay were talking about Keith claiming that concept was his idea. I dont recall him stating it would/wont be part of this year's stage

Think its already been indicated that its a different stage set up this summer anyway.

They will have the same stage and the same concept (onstage tickets) ...and probably the same setlists.Don't expect too many surprises.

Did the On Stage sh*t last year and is really not worth paying all that money for it.

If I had won a freeby, the story would be different.

i was on stage 5 times (i know i've said this before) and all were great experiences. i never get front row in the seated US shows so this is the next best thing. if it's a general admission show and you don't want to wait in line hours ahead, it's a way to get close to the band.

I saw one show "on stage" and loved it. But I knew I had other shows to see with different seats.

I would recommend hanging out at the box office the day of the show and trying to get some reasonably priced seats that become available close to the B stage.
When they stage is installed they have to juggle the seating a bit. I did this a couple times and was seated right next to the B stage for $160. I did feel sorry for the other people who had their tickets in hand for months and were at the end of the row.

Got 7th row for Düsseldorf. Not that bad either, isn't it?

I heard disclaimers to the term "On Stage seating"... Many people described it more like "Rear Stage Obstructed View Balcony Standing Room Only"

I suppose if it's free, why not...but I'd much rather have a view from the front or even the side rather than have to watch their old bums all night through cable trusses and sound equipment.

I had a side view at MGM Grand Vegas where I was just perched over Keef...now that was a great seat!
