Gazza, Do you mean that tickets for he 2nd show are on sale direct from O2 or are both shows available through ticketbastard ?
sc uk
The show isnt even confirmed on TM so isnt on sale yet, nor is there any sign of a fan club presale.
Per 02's site, their presale allocation for the 23/8/07 is going on sale tomorrow along with those for the first night |

Thanks for the heads up! I went to the O2 site to sign up for an account, which linked me to TM. Although I already have a TM account, this was a different version of it, so I dont know if its O2 or TM Europe. Either way I signed up so I'll be ready....9 AM UK time is actually 4 AM EST, so I'll be up in the middle of the night giving this a go. Hope this gimmick works! |

Does it make any difference if you join up before or just buy the membership with the tickets?
I'm thinking of the fiasco with Slane when people ended up buying 2 memberships.
I just selected ticket,then payed with membership(+75 Euros).It seemed to be faster. Do you get access to better seats,having the code in advance ?

doesnt seem like it.
ALL the floor seats seem to be £150..it automatically defaults to that price when you select 'floor'.
Nothing in first ten rows at £70 for legacy members at all. At least theyre consistent in that they screw their own legacy members here as well as the rest of the ticket buyers.
yet in germany, legacy members got first few rows at around that price right away
Cunts

Everyone wait til Friday. If there's no floors on the post May 9th 05 presale they're going to drop on friday. Also expect more to be dropping beween Friday and the date of the show, they always do. Feel like shit. |

I hope they'll be satisfied when they look out to see rows and rows of corporate dicks talking on mobiles and using their laptops during the show !
Why do we put up with this? |
|
|
| Bitch |
woo- woo! I'm in for both nights! The passcode for the O2 presale is MCBCAJ, which buys you #100 tickets in the stands but at least it gets you in the dome! |

I'D HARDLY CALL THIS LUCKY, I'M INTO IT FOR OVER $1600 for 6 tickets!
Shit, it's only money....actually it isn't money it's credit card debt! It took me a year to pay off the last round of shows, but I managed it. Bills and debts will always be with us, but the STONES wil not be. So I'm happy to be in da dome! |

Jesus, sounds like you guys are getting the "New York" treatment. Gutted for ya. I was really hoping they'd do the right thing just this once.
As Flairville pointed out, there may still be a chance for better seats to drop in the public sale, and I know they're notorious for holding seats back till a few days pre-show, but who wants to take that chance when it's the only shows you're getting in London?
They really do make it hard to love 'em sometimes. |

I got block 112 for both shows... not very good considering i had a platinum legacy membershit... |
|
|
| Angiegirl |
I could still get 106 row H or Z, 150 Pounds both. Can't believe it, row Z in block 106 puts you close enough to the back entrance and still they are top price! Fuckers.

thanks to Pauly for this info which he passed on to me
The floor blocks are much smaller than you might think. I've learned that blocks C1 and C3 for example are only 10 seats wide. As you're looking at the stage, for block C1, seat 1 is on the outside, seat 10 is right on the B stage. The B stage itself occupies the area that would otherwise be accounted for by seats 11 to 40. On the other side, for block C3, seat 41 is on the B stage and seat 50 is on the outside.
IF the Ticketmaster seating plan is roughly to scale, this means that the row width within the A and B blocks is perhaps 12-13 for the A's and 14-15 for the B's. Don't know how many rows DEEP these blocks are, but by all accounts, they're NOT VERY WIDE.
Again, if the scaling on the seating plan is anything to go by, this would suggest that the main stage is actually quite small, and BOTH the catwalk and the B stage are disproportionately large ... well certainly as compared to stadiums, and actually ALSO as compared to some of the inside arenas they've played so far on this tour.

At least in New York people did get some tickets on presales in the first ten rows for the $99 price. Didnt they?
We werent even offered them. Not a sniff, not even for £150.
I predict after all the gnashing of teeth this morning that this venue will once again soon be renamed once more, as "The 0 Fuck" Arena.

apparently the Fan Asylum members got all the seats in the front ten rows. Thank you, Stones. Seems that to get the best seats you have to pay in excess of $2000 for the 'privilege'..
but hey at least you get the laminate and a few peanuts |

Last show in Oakaland didn't have any either... I don't think any shows around here did... London, like this area have a really high cost of living. Even NYC isn't so bad after you get out of Manhattan. Maybe this is a factor... |

These prices are kinda nuts...
I have section 103 somewhere, 150 is too steep, I'd say around 80...
I am disappointed, I just hope the security have no problem with me running out of my seat and to the bside when they come down the catwalk... |

the $90 upfront tix were a myth. Like Keith's blood transfusions, Mick & Bowie, The Stroke, and Student Discounts.

Gazza, if I am able to come to London in August, can you arrange to put me in contact with a legitimate broker? |

Just do Fan Asylum... if I was going to Europe, I'd do it, at least I'd get a good ticket. |

Can't commit so early as a number of things have to fall in place. I know of many wonderful hotels in London, and the flight is now direct from Fort Lauderdale. I am wondering how much tickets will be for the first 5 rows through a broker? I trust probably like here, 1-2k. |

Anyone reckon its possible to get from North Greenwich to Paddington before 11:30? It takes half an hour.
Because the last train home for me will be at 11:30. Assuming the concert finishes at 10:40ish, is it worth the risk? |
