How do you get 5 days?? it's one day or let's say 32 hours in total.

my confusion.

still, why 32 hours instead of the 2 that have been given in other presales?

If you havent used the code as yet, it should still be valid. Yes.

I asked for a refund some weeks ago but on my account there is a validity for the code :

Your presale code is for Rolling Stones A Bigger Bang tickets to :

O2 Arena in London, , GB on 2007-08-23.
Valid from 2007-03-28 to 2007-03-29.

Where can you get or find your presale code? I ended up not using it on either of the first two o2 presales.

Also, is there a phone number where you can contact them and ask about the validity question? (or anything else on presales, tickets, seating, etc.)

E mail may take too long (past Monday) but I could try that as well -- what is the e mail address to use to ask them?

Click on "My account" (top of RS.com page)
Click on "My tickets" and after that, "Click for codes and details".

I dunno for your other questions.

UltraStar is the firm that runs the fan club. their customer service numbers are:
1-888-782-7999 (if you're calling from the US) or 646-825-6111 (if you're calling from elsewhere).
at least those were the numbers last time i checked.

When is the 4th show going on Sale?

timbernardis;
I went to the Ticketmaster Stones main page for the 2nd or 3rd time today, and suddenly the 26th was there.
It had lots of weird info like the public sale was starting 27th (today) at 13.40 and no info regarding pre-sale. Got a phone call and was busy for 3-4 minutes, did a refresh and the info I posted was there.
Didn't think more about it after I posted it. Then 20 minutes later I hit refresh and you had the ticket options.
2 of them. The one with the code and the one with new membership added.
I played around for 1-2 minutes, got the same seats again and again. The F row.
I was then looking for my legacy code (just wanted to try to see if the seats got better). When I got it the system said xxx currently not on sale etc....
Wished I bought something. A good lawyer and ....

I know F row is good but it is still bad. If the first 5 rows are gone before the "start". Let's hope it was just a ticketmaster training session. It will look like MSG in New York if every great seat is gone before the sale.

Weird enough, when I left work, they had taken away the public sale. Only pre-sale listed.

Here's the one from around 17.00 CET

Oh well, if I just read everything what I copied it says it all...
So legacy from 09.00, New member 11.00

Not a Member Yet?
Beginning Monday 30th April at 11:00am, you can purchase tickets before the general onsale by ordering a Rolling Stones Platinum Fan Club Membership as part of your ticket purchase transaction, which will cost another 51.00 GBP.

The best news to start a sunny WE and to end european leg Tour. But still, 23 x 3 = 69 equal a Twick.

Thankyou sssssssssooooooooooo much for this info!

I had problems purchasing in the legacy presale for the first O2 shows, and rs.com said I had already used my code. I assume they were talking about the atlantic city show last year, which i burned my legacy code for. I think that the way it works is that you are only allowed one legacy purchase per membership year, so because the AC show was in october (originally) and i bought the tix in august, i assumed that was it for this 'year'.

Anyway, i just called ultrastar and spoke to a really helpful man, and he reset my account and assured me that next time i go for a legacy presale - obviously monday morning for the August 26th show - it will work!

AMAZING!

Thanks again with sssoul!

So you had the possibility of a row F seat and you turned it down?

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!

I must admit I suspect TM would have spotted it and blown it away...but I still would have gone for it, what the hell!

Will this be the last Stones gig? Unlikely. I go with Keith's assertion in the NME interview that he will play until he croaks. More likely the Stones themselves won't actually know what their last gig is until they have played it.

What happened to Gazza in all this?

By the way, worth pointing out to anyone arriving from outside the UK that August 26th and 27th are when the Notting Hill carnival takes place...worth hanging around for an extra day, if you can, but if not, the Sunday is the kid's day while the Monday is for the adults.

>> it is still bad. If the first 5 rows are gone before the "start". <<

fanasylum's got the first rows reserved for their packages as usual,
but the ones they don't sell will turn up. the trick is to be on line and ready to pounce when they do.

OK I don't know how many tickets fanasylum got.
I have been to 1 package with them in the US and I got the feeling that they don't have that many seats. I might be very wrong when it comes to places like London O2, MSG and Las Vegas. They got sold out in no time.
Think the sponsors are guilty here as well.

What is AEG???? And CPI???
The first 2 shows are:
MCD/SOLO PRESENTS
THE ROLLING STONES

26th is announced on the hidden page as:
CPI & SOLO WITH AEG LIVE

So 2 new sponsors running away with tickets. Cruel world, but ok, fair, sort of.

Rob, CPI= Concert Productions International.

Badlands have hotel & concert packages - with some availability in Blocks A1 and A3 - for the first two shows.

No doubt they'll have a similar deal for the 3rd night too

Thanks mickijaggeroo,
Now I can only hope that AEG is not the dishwasher one.
Probably is. Hey, why not.

Great Friday!
O2 III, Far East Man and a Shane MacGowan DVD arrived in the mail, got lots of red. AND the boss gave me the permission to work 1. May, so I can take another Stones day off work later in the summer. Life is good. Think I will celebrate it all with the Argentina DVD through the night.

How do you buy a legacy membership? I have'nt dealt with RS.Com that much,though i have puchased a few show's so do i qualify, for legacy?

legacy memberships are only for those who renewed recently. You cant buy a "new" one.

Allright Gazza, i purchased a Paris presale just this time,so do i qualify?and if so would i just,go to the legacy and they already have my info? I usally get my ticket's through other avenues,but i don't want to over due a good thing. Much appreciated.

If it wasnt a 'renewal' membership then its a Platinum

see the 'new presale instructions' info here :
[www.rollingstones.com]

I wouldnt imagine it makes much difference. we had a legacy passcode for London #1 and still couldnt get anything on the floor in the front block.
