Gazza, this guy will be coming on Friday, most likely. I'll have to make sure my pals at work ensure that his flight gets in w/o delay! |

Well, if hes flying Aer Lingus - the Dublin flight gets in at 1 pm...
the one from Shannon gets in around 4 pm, so even that should JUST be ok
I'm actually flying in on the day of the show this time (wednesday). Couldnt believe I got a return flight from Dublin to New York for over $100 less than the price of most of the tickets that were available today for the concert.
If thats not proof that these ticket prices are totally mental, I dont know what is...
If your friend hasnt booked his flights yet, he should try that company....

LOL It's amazing that the Stones are charging so much. Yesterday, I had a chance to be in Sec 11 for $400+. I passed. I'm a few feet back now for $300 less. |

Just wondering did this happen to anyone else, as its the first time this tour I've tried to buy tickets...
I tried to buy two tickets at $179 and got offered a pair in section 110 - which are pretty damn good...by the time I clicked and got through a few seconds later the tickets were 'magically transformed' into $454 apiece and they were looking just a few dollars shy of $1,000 for the pair, with the charges!!! What the FECK is all that about??
I passed on a few offers of $454 and was informed a few times that the $179 and $100 tickets werent available, but eventually a pair came up for $179 (good job I read what horror stories other people had and didnt panic buy a pair of $450 ones..) |

Didn't happen here. I got the $179 or whatever it cost. Why'd you get 2? Is Mrs. G coming? |

I tried that other presale earlier and was offered a pair in block 120 for $454, (side view). Thing is, thats the same block we were in in 2002 at this venue and those tickets cost $160 each....
Ive noticed that with each of the last few tours since 1999..whilst the ticket range has gone up a bit, the actual NUMBER of tickets in any area but category 1 seem fewer. Many mediocre seats now fall into the price range of what used to be the 'pretty good seats' range and many of THEM are now priced the same as the extortionate ones.. |

No. Jaxx has the other one. Her sis lives in Manhattan, so (for the 3rd time) the poor girl has to put up with me snoring on her couch for a few nights. |

Yes but I remember in 1999's No Security tour I paid $300 for a rather crappy seat. I was up 15 rows or so in the first loge level along the side. My friends who paid 1/3 that were only 10 rows higher & much closer to the stage. I've never figured out their pricing ways. |

I'll be taking my chances on Monday morning. Wish me luck, and of course if anyone comes across any extras, let me know. |

scope, why take chances? You can get a ticket now by typing in "STONES" as the password. Use the non-Stones club listing... |

so, Gazza, any chance you'll do the 2nd show too?
Miss Youngblood and I are planning on getting into the city Thursday night and doing some sightseeing Friday during the day, so if you're still in town maybe we can do lunch or something.
LJ, you are SO right. INSTANT bond. It's like a high school reunion, except that I don't like my high school classmates near as much as you guys!
It sucked that I missed YOTI 1 but the get-together after the show was really great too. I still have a piece of paper I got everyone to sign. Gazza, Jaxx, Nanky, Maxy, Maxmeister, Lambchop, Queen Annie (whatever happened to her?) and more that I'm forgetting...it was a night to remember. We were all EXHILARATED!!!!
I CAN'T BELIEVE THE STONES ARE TOURING AGAIN! THIS IS SO GREAT! |

Those are only the $454 seats though, right? I'm going solo to MSG in Sept. so the wife would be expecting to go in January. $900 is pretty steep, and I haven't ruled out some other shows yet. |

Nope. I got $175 ticket using that code. So did LJ, I think. |

This is so exciting! Of course I wish I could be up close and personal with the band, but just to go to MSG is a dream come true- and to have a chance to party with all of you is the icing on the cake!!
Gazza- I got offered those same $450 seats also, and I wonder how many poor souls "woohooed" right on through the whole process!!  |

"the time I clicked and got through a few seconds later the tickets were 'magically transformed' into $454"
It seems many tickets that are $454, price level 1, were "mistakenly" listed as price level 2, so they came up when you requested the $179s.
To get the $179s, put in $179 and for section try 200 level, then 300 level. It should definitely work for something in the 300s.
Some of the 200 section are set at $454. |

well..one of the reasons I decided to go was that I believed there would be 2 shows...its a long way to come for just one..so as I'm there til Sunday I'll be at any show that takes place later that week too! |
