Just got back home, my thoughts in PowerPoint bullet fashion: - Easy getting there from the last stop on metro line 1 - Waiting 1 hour squished like a sardine to get past 1st checkpoint sucked - Pints are a ripoff 40 cl instead of 50 cl! They invested a lot in those stupid sturdy cups with Arena logo, would have preferred the usual plastic cup with more beer! - This was only my 2nd Stones sh

According to the Arena staff, it's easy to get there from the final line 1 metro stop (lots of signs): "Au terminus de la Défense, la signalétique est très facile à suivre et vous conduira directement à la U Arena. Le chemin se fait très facilement".

Quotelaughinearlydied riiight, because normal people have time to be the whole day on 2 sites refreshing pages to try and buy a ticket that is already overpriced as shit. You dont combat the scalpers, because they, unlike fans, actually do this full time and scoop these tickets up easily.

This sneaky system of selling tickets on and off in the last days isn't that bad, it keeps tickets in fans' hands, and is a way of combatting those damn scalpers. On Facebook event pages and in the local classified ads website (Le Bon Coin) there's tons of ads with people marking up ticket prices (sometimes asking x2, even x3 face value); some ads are by theives that ask you to

Have their been any bootleg shirt sellers outside the arenas on this tour? (never seen any at Paris arena shows, just the usual guys selling posters after the show) Some of the best concert shirts I've ever bought in the past (sometimes of great quality and at a fraction of the price) were unofficial ones on the outside!

Rolling Stones without Keef?! Unthinkable! But should he one day decide to retire, I'd still go see them with Mick Taylor! Or they could do like the Grateful Dead did on one of those tours after Jerry passed, go out as "The Stones". I still firmly believe Keef will outlive us all!
