hi ! i live in rome not far from Termini train station and will most likely take the bus from there... i know from Fiumicino airport there is a frequent express train that goes to Termini and takes about a half hour. Then from Termini, the "best" way to get to the stadio olimpico during the day(according to the rome bus site www.atac.roma.it) is: Take the Metro A line toward &

ya i think you'll surely find some stones fans to help you out !! hopefully now that you've got some wired money you can find some last minute tickets that don't cost too much, anyway i bet some people will help you out, i hope so !

hopefully someone can contact someone who is in barcellona now and speaks spanish and can help you ???? i guess the first thing is to report your passport missing in a police station, 'cause that's serious stuff, they get stolen and counterfeited a lot, at least here in Rome - unfortunately another pickpocket capital...those dang gypsies...

well, dunno what to tell you. Keith section B row 2 is available on line, that's all i know. maybe you'll get lucky somehow...
Forum: Ticket Trader

hmmmm - well, i have to disagree - it's possible to get a totally fair deal on ebay, and even a bargain. it's all supply and demand...and the demand just doesn't seem to be so big lately - i know there are jerky scalpers there too, but generally no one buys from them, from what i've seen ! (although the best thing is to buy from the good people on IORR :-)
Forum: Ticket Trader

oh - another theory (from ticketone) is that the second sections are "better seats" and cost more because the front sections are "too close" to the stage... i've never been to the stadio olimpico and i dunno if this is true - i really hope not !! anyway i'm taking my chances being in a front section...
Forum: Ticket Trader

Well, I think section A row 1 is "possible" if you buy a hotel package along with it from rs.com ;-) Other than that, I haven't heard or seen anything at all, anywhere, even here in Rome, about front sections A being available. It stinks big-time the way ticketone.it et al has been selling this concert ! They've apparently been trying to sell off everything else first, and the

actually, back in April I jumped on the 3rd row (first seat) in Keith section C, which seemed to be the best available, due to the completely squirrelly way that ticketone is handling this whole thing (for all the gory details you can refer back to the 12 page thread on the matter Anyway I'm happy with my seat, which is why i didn't jump on a slightly better seat today and have to re-s

just sitting here browsing the tickets available today from ticketone.it, at least in 2nd platea sinistra (FOS left) keith's side.
