chrisis2 So I got lucky as hell staying up all night last May, and I got tickets to the Tower which I'll be driving up to on Sunday (I go to college in North Carolina)

But I know that'll just leave me thirsting for more Stones, so I've talked to a few buddies strung out between here and Virginia, and we're gonna try and go to the Fedex field show.

The problem is, I don't have much money... Being a student, I was already pretty broke, and now I've got same gambling debts. Of course I'm not gonna let that stop me, but I'm just wondering what the best way to get in cheap is. Looking at ebay, it seems that I won't even have to pay face value... It'd be nice to be down on the field, but really I just wanna get in the stadium... I figure from a certain point and back I'll end up watching the screen anyway (someone please correct me if I'm wrong on this, I've never been to a stadium show before)

so anyway, what's the best way to get in cheap? should i go ahead and buy something on ebay? will they discount tickets at the window before the show when it's still not sold out? should i try and buy em in the parking lot before the show and risk that theyre counterfeit? will people bother counterfeiting for a show thats not sold out?

anyone with experience/knowhow on this, some advice would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
chris

TheSavageYoungXyzzy Aww.... Rocks Off! The board of brotherly love!

Cool it, you two! Roaring arguments online are all well and good, but if you two start fighting in Atlanta, you'll ruin the show for fans who want to be there for the music!

And you, cash-strapped college student, should go and see as many Stones shows as possible.

In fact, get an extra ticket at low cost and offer it to your creditors in place of a cash debt.
