You're doing it right as far as I can tell. Everyone in UK is probably aware of it now and the site is probably flooded.
Keep trying Gazza!

My advice after being there and done that, is to skip it. Unless it is a show you know will sale out quick then you are better off waiting. You may get good seats but I know I spent the 65.00 Sam Goody charge to get seats then while watching ticketmaster up until close to the show time, I could have got just as good of seats and better withouth spending the money for presale. I guess you just gotta do what you gotta do. If you are like me you can't stand to wait but if you can wait you may be better off. |

I got them - thanks!!
seems I needed to go into the 'my account' part of the site after choosing the show I want, and thats whwrer you get the presale code.
what little hair I have left is almost gone....I'm like a shorter version of Sir Stonesalot |

Gazza:
Do you know anything about the Astoria, how many people it holds, whether all the seats are general admission, etc.?
thanks in advance,

Got this from the TM site:
"Standing no formal seating. Capacity 1600 approx."
excellent!
Thanks wintah, you're the best!

it`s still does`t work - fuck |
|
|
| Gazza |
it should do
go into the site and pick a venue...if you dont have a code, it should ask you to go into 'my account' there it will confirm the venue youve picked and should give you your coe plus the link to the site selling the tickets
1,600? wonderful..even smaller than Shepherds Bush
Shepherds bush holds 1800 - 1,000 tickets were on public sale but the limitw as one per person
as the limit for this one is two per person, its gonna mean less applicants being lucky (presuming they have as many hangers on as before...)
at least you dont have to stand out overnight in the rain though! |

when i click to www.ticketmaster.com and write my code, the next side lez me know:"You do not appear to have arrived at Ticketmaster via the Rolling Stones Fan Club". But I do |

shakedhandswithkeith:
Keep trying. I was able to log back in and tickets were still available. I didn't actually buy them for fear of losing the two that I already have.
I logged in as an international customer, then went to the tour section and clicked on Astoria. It gave me the code and a link to the UK tm site. I cut and pasted the code and was off to the races.
Good luck

go to the RS tour site first (after you have logged in) and click on the link to the UK site. It should take you there directly. |

I ordered two, but I am not too sure about this rs.com site -whatever venue you choose, the Astoria pops up...I am atheist as hell, but you almost have me praying here my tickets will come true...
Gazza, I missed out on meeting you in Paradiso Amsterdam, I sure hope we can shake hands in the Astoria!!

Mathijs:
I think the Astoria always comes up because that was the first venue you chose. There is a warning about not being able to choose other venues once you pick one. Some folks on Stonesdoug got seats at the arena. So I feel like we're all set.
Luxury 1 - thank you for the kind words.

Gazza & Shaked...
Don't you feel as if you just ran the most painstakingest race of your life! By no means am I poking fun at the panic in your posts... That feeling is just too close to my memory from my own purchases.
Thank God & I am very happy that you guys scored some seats!! Now, go relax and catch your breath, lol...
Sirmoonie & Winter...
Smooth guys, real smooth. Damn, you're going...  |

Mathijs!!! Did you change your mind and decide to go to a show? I could have sworn you said you would not go!!! Good to see you have changed your mind. I did not think you could hold out! Have fun and enjoy. I am happy for all you guys who got in!!! |

you better believe it..fucking hell..I was beginning to think I was some kind of idiot (no sniggering at the back,please..) for not being able to find a code that everyone else was seemingly able to get.. logging off one account, logging onto another...wondering how some folks had got codes and I hadnt (RSFC said last week theyd e-mail the info).. then thinking it was a conspiracy because the US fans got more notice than WE did - then for a nano second "the bastards have blacklisted me because I moan and bitch about their ticket prices too much.." trust me,I'll clutch at every straw I can when I'm being fucked around...
at least it was only 20 minutes of panic....the train ride from Sheffield in 99 followed by the taxi ride through rush hour traffic to Tower records to queue with a suitcase in each hand for shepherds bush tickets, all the while getting phone calls with varying reports of how many tix were gonna be available (200? 400? 1000?) was the longest four hours of my life. Ask Angiegirl...she jumped in to the taxi with us and i'm sure she'll agree

You think??? LOL You're right Gazza, that was really hectic. The taxi driver stopped at the entrance, but the row was streched out around 2 corners, so we had to walk all the way to the end of the queque WITH our heavy luggage. Not knowing how many tix went onsale, we stood there quit a while not knowing if we were in, while we were in queue. When the security came with a counter and stamps we knew we made it. And it cost us only 10 Pounds!!! I wish those were the genaral prizes... When we were told only 10 Pounds notes would be accepted, everyone ran franticly to the little shops in the street to get a coffe and buy it with a 50 Pounds note or whatever larger amounts you have in the UK. The shop owners were going insane without small exchange money at 11 am or something! Great time that morning!
I've been 'panicking' for over 24 hours now... I think the 3 Dutch shows are on presale tomorrow: they have 5 countries and I think they follow the order of sales-dates per country. UK starts Dec 6 so it's the first of 5 coutries with ticketsales and obviously the first to get pre-sales. Looking at the order of normal sales: UK Dec 6, Holland Dec 7, Sweden Dec 9, France Dec 11. I think this will be the order of pre-sales days. I only don't know about Germany though. Anyway, Holland is probably next as our normal sales are this Saturday. Just wonder if it will be announced late in the evening too like with the UK tonight (meaning our local time).
I'm so nervous I can't get that code too. It's totally unclear how it exactly works right? Log in, go to tour section, choose venue, go to my account page, click on get code. Something like that? The Dutch Ticketservice already has the pre-sales pages up, complete with the box to enter your code. So that only assures me of my suspicion that Holland is next. Hope I'm right, I simply MUST get into the Vredenburg show!! |

I have the same trouble with that crazy code from these Fan Club for
pre-salers. No way to have a normal information. $95.00 and they sent
a $0.25 hat and the Licks CD. But never any code. I contacted the NL/GB
and german Clubs but none knows about the " Premium membership" As an Stones
hard core fan since 40 years who spent thousands and thousands $$ for any Stones
merchandise and Concerts. By the way, the merchandise clothes from this tour
are very sensitive. Out from the package you have 1000% polyster and do not smoke
near at that stuff. You exploded! Without the US made T-Shirts none size is right!
I feel frauded. |

100% cotton just holds the sweat like a sponge, no good! Polyester smells much better...especially if you use the thing for days and weaks at a time. |
