exile good luck everyone.
hope to hear from pre may members first around 9 or 10 with some ticket wisdom.

I hope stones members dont have to pay $400 a ticket

like gazza said in Uk $100 for memebers would be great.

corgi37 Checked some U2 tickets for sale on Ebay. The floor is standing. If "general admission" is the floor. Do you think Sydney will be standing? Is that what you are going for?
1st March 2006 05:43 AM
Daethgod dunno
my Rod Laver seats on Floor said Floor

im thinking Sydney will be all ticketed
so maybe the Floor will say Floor..

1st March 2006 05:44 AM
Daethgod fark
its nearly 10 pm on eve of pre sale and still NO seating chart

1st March 2006 05:48 AM
corgi37 its ridiculous! Ticketek charges $7.95 transaction fee! Bit rich, aint it? Got a flight booked Daeth?
1st March 2006 05:51 AM
kleves Sorry, this is prob a dumb question, but I can't
find the answer. I've been a platinum member
for a few days now, but have not been sent any
code. Should I panic, or will the code be
furnished when I try to buy tickets tomorrow
while I am logged in at rs.com?
1st March 2006 05:53 AM
Daethgod dude
i think u get your code when u log in after 11am

corgs
im booking flight as soon as i have Sydney tix
hopefully i will be on the Jetstar website at 5 past 11 knowing we have hot tix to Sydney

1st March 2006 05:57 AM
corgi37 My mobile will be glued to my hand, matey boy.
1st March 2006 06:03 AM
corgi37 Seat map for Telstra!!! But, i think its just general. Nothing about the Stones. Good indication of location of seat numbers though. Its a start!
1st March 2006 06:06 AM
corgi37 Yep, its just general. Ticketek seating config still under construction.
1st March 2006 06:26 AM
exile Daeth, post on board after 9 o clock with what you did, best available etc or diamond.

also ticket prices for club memebers

man this is ALL I can think about at the moment. I am pumped.

1st March 2006 06:29 AM
corgi37 Go for diamond. Just went to Rod Laver Arena site. They dont mention Stones at all! But Snoop Dogg is in town on April 7.
1st March 2006 06:33 AM
corgi37 100% U2 are having standing at Telstra Stadium. Its called Arena and is not badly priced.
1st March 2006 06:33 AM
exile I saw the Snoop dog porno. It was really funny. Snoops mates shagging sluts and snoop singing in between scenes.
1st March 2006 06:46 AM
corgi37 I used to watch his show on cable. It was pretty funny. He's like a black Cheech.

Daethgod found this :


IF - in this 70,000 seat stadium they've got floor/pitch seating and they're following the same format as they've done in US shows and all 5 UK shows, then ...

(a) if there are THREE ticket price categories for the gig, I'd select the LOWEST when you make your selection to search for tickets

(b) if there are FOUR ticket price categories for the gig, I'd select the second LOWEST when you make your selection to search for tickets

The "format" I'm referring to is this business of pricing an indeterminate number of front/frontish rows cheaper than rows further back.

I should point out that so doing enabled me to get 1st, 2nd, and 3rd row tickets for all 5 UK shows. I should however also point out that I took an educated guess that because this format had been adopted in the US come ticket sales time; then there was a distinct possibility that they'd also employ it for the UK shows. I was right, but I'm aware that I could just as well all too easily have been wrong.

So if I were you, I should ask some questions, do some research, solicit other folks' opinions, and then make your best guess and take a stab. There's one thing you CANNOT afford to do though, and that is NOT to be there the VERY moment that site selling the tickets goes live. BE THERE !! Those front rows, however they're priced, will move fast. If you ARE there the moment they stazrt selling, and you notice though that you NEVER get offered any FRONTISH rows at all, then another reasonably educated guess would be that they haven't as yet released those rows in any particular block. That being the case, put the coffee on, get the popcorn out, and be prepared to devote the entire day to refreshing the page and searching again and again, because they do indeed DO this. They will hold an entire front block for some reason, and maybe only release it many hours into the presale/sale. This is what happened to me when I was trying to buy tickets for Cardiff. I got 1st row Wembley at about 10 nanoseconds past 09:00 when the sale started, and yet I got 3rd row Cardiff at about 16:00 hrs in the afternoon, having spent EIGHT full hours in front of my laptop.
1st March 2006 06:56 AM
Daethgod also this

What I will say though is that I first noticed that this "format" (if you want to call it that) when I myself was buying tickets for three shows in the States last fall. I got my tickets OK, hasten to add they were full price/the most expensive. But in all the subsequent discussions on this board in IORR, loads of people starting mentioning having got better tickets (closer to the front) for $99 than for $454 !! This pattern began to appear at virtually all the shows in the States, or at least a lot of them. So many months later when the UK shows were announced, there was again a bit of a flurry of chatter about this on the board, and that's what got me thinking that they "might" be doing the same thing in the UK. What tipped the scales I suppose, and made me pretty much "certain", was the fact my first request for tickets when the site for Wembley 1 sales went live - resulted in me being offered shit seats for the highest price about three blocks back from the stage. I thought "this is ridiculous. Here I am bang on opening time, and all there is under BEST AVAILABLE is THREE bloody blocks back". So for my second request I just selected the lowest price category of the three that were available, and up came row 1 in the front block ??? What else can I tell ya ?

exile Im so confused....
1st March 2006 07:09 AM
Daethgod me too

1st March 2006 07:12 AM
corgi37 Dunno if all that applies here, and not you you as you are using Stones membership tix. Gazza says they are usually pretty good. But, i dont think they will be in a various price range. Face it, you want the best tix - on the floor (or arena as its called at Telstra). Those floor spots, standing or not, aint gonna be cheap. Dont risk it. Anyway, you should be able to see the seats when booking. After midnight is my guess. The plan has to be up - surely!

It would help if we knew if it was seating or standing. U2's standing tix on the Arena were only just over $100. if i read the chart right.

For your Rod Laver show, that is different. Licks classified the whole lower level stands the same as our spots.
1st March 2006 07:16 AM
Daethgod yer i reckon u r right corgs

Floor at both shows will be top $$$
