Yeah, I was surprised at the time, because I had read similar reports. I expected to be whisked away through some VIP entrance or similar, but instead I joined the plebs outside! Still... Bloody good fun was had once inside. I really despise travelling (airports especially), but totally worth all the hassle when there is a Stones show at the end of the journey.

QuoteLeonioid I doubt they will let you swap seats. The way it went for us (and as you probably saw too when you had LDs) is you line up in the lucky dip line, show your IDs... and by the time you are handed your random envelope you are basically inside... there is no going back. ( it gave me chills to think of being there again...HEADED INSIDE to a Stones show!!! ) It was a little bit differ

...there is no possibility to trade down? Last time around, in Stockholm, my dad and I scored the very best tickets and got to almost touch Mick's feet (we didn't, because he probably would not have liked that). A week or two earlier I got nosebleed seats in Copenhagen. But anyway, my dad had an incident in December and he is not going to be able to stand for two hours straight

Any tips for someone driving in from Sweden? Is there a strategically good place to park (i.e. cheap parking near public transport leading directly to the venue) anywhere?

Thanks for the input guys. Air protection was always in my plan, but the memory thing poses more of a challenge though.

I am probably getting ahead of myself a little here, but last time they toured around here my oldest was still in his mummy's belly. We hit Oslo, Berlin, Düsseldorf and almost Stockholm (was outside the stadium but did not score any tickets), so in theory he has already been to a few. Now, almost two years later he comes running whenever dad (me) puts on Hyde Park or Totally Stripped. He

I was very fortunate to score two F-block tickets to Berlin through this forum (thanks again Marco!), so here goes: Do any of you have two (or four...) spare seat tickets for Stockholm? Since my wife is pregnant, standing is unfortunately not an option for us at this time. Will pay face value + standard ticket fee.

Thank you, MAF! I just purchased two of the seats. Still some remaining. Not the best sections of course, but better than not going!

QuoteTopi Golden Circle means the "pit" (Front of Stage) area. I assume that always implies standing? Wife is pregnant, so we better grab some seats.

I have been out of the loop for a while now, so please pardon this n00b question: Why was the 'Bigger Bang' release remastered? Wasn't it already digital enough? Were there extra bits added (16-bits not enough?)?(http://rollingstones.shop.bravadousa.com/Product.aspx?cp=150_24328&pc=RSCD67)

QuoteRoadster32There are no highlights in SAL - this movie sucks. Wow, that was harsh. Care to elaborate? I loved it from the start. Watched it twice in the theater, and bought the blu-ray.

I attended the concerts in Belgrade, Budapest, Gothenborg and Oslo. I am pretty sure they played "Night Time Is The Right Time" in at least one of those venues, yet I cannot find this in any of bv's playlists? Is my mind slipping? Have the DVD footage started to leak into my memory of the events I attended? Someone slip me a sanity pill please.

When MS used 'Start Me Up', it was a huge deal and quite expensive too. Anyone know the pricetag for this one? Why aren't we seeing more Stones tunes in commercials? (I was very surprised when I heard SAR the other day!) Are their early works cheaper?
