Took me a while to get through on the Charlotte arena's website (it was MUCH tougher than U2, which took another 20 minutes to sell out ... stones took about 34 min). Got 2 seats in the upper level for 160 a piece. That's good money for sitting near the roof.

A bit disapointed, i went ahead and did presale for San Francisco and got two tix for 100 each. If you know SBC park i'm in the right field upper deck (row 3) which will have a great view of the stage, and the Bay Bridge! Stadiums are the only thing near cost-effective for seeing these guys now.

geez. rough morning. I can't help but feel like i just got roughed up a bit. Fresno tickets, on sale next month, will most certainly be The Last Time.

Hope everybody got something near what they wanted.

Dan I took a peek at the east coast onsales around 7 with no intention of buying anything.Miami seems to be moving slowly with floor seats by the B Stage available up to an hour into the onsale and seats available in all price ranges unlike some of the other shows which sold out the 50 or so low priced seats right away.

Then fell asleep and missed the Ozzfest onsale at 10, nothing up front but those will come back a few days before the show when the hundreds of bands on the bill start giving unused tickets back. Tried for KROQ Weenie Roast at 12 but it was an immediete sellout.

stones2002 This morning i tried to get tickets for the show in NC. I did have luck on getting tickets but each time tickets came up I passed on them. Reason why is bc the view was bad and the price was too high (the limit was $60-$90) and all of the tickets were $160-$350. The $350 tickets were all up high in heven. It was time for me to go into work. I gave my credit card to mom and told her to try. She tried but no luck. A few min later the shoe was sold out. So this tour I will not be going to see my band. I will be sitting out on the side lines and watching everyone who could get tickets have fun. Me, I am not sad or upset or mad for that matter. This tour (as of right now) was not ment to be in my life. Upon the hill bigger and better things lie ahead of me. Future past July is Unkown. As I said a few times least I got a U2 ticket for Nov at MSG.

The show is several months off. Compartmentalize it out of your mind and give it another shot in October. Maybe you will have more money then. Tickets aren't gone for good. At least not yet.

They need to play more shows in the South. Just a few arena gigs creates too big a log jam. A stadium would help diffuse the demand that caused Atlanta and Charlotte to go in 10 and 30 min respectively. They should play Williams Brice Stadium in Columbia again, or BofA in Charlotte. Both were great Stones venues in tours past.

charlotte you got that right...we need another Charlotte show...

HellsRollingThunder I am waiting for the tickets to the Savvis Center in St Louis MO
It is a small place, yes it is, and the seats are great for seeing the
stage. They are coming in December and I hope to go.I wonder
how much they will be. I will post this site again just for funzies.

Indeed. I caught Charlie's drumstick that night. It sits on my wall at this very moment. Great stadium. BofA too.
