What are "Lucky Dip" tickets ?

Is that something like the $85 tickets they had in the States ?

Yes. See the 'tour dates & info' thread.

10 of the 14 shows had a lucky dip sale on Wednesday or Thursday this week.

The exceptions were the festival dates - Lisbon. Pinkpop, Werchter and Roskilde - as they're not Rolling Stones shows, as such.

It looks like Berlin is the smallest venue for the Euro leg - 18,000, so it should be a great show to catch! Congrats to Gazza, SV & shookhands!

It is. Its the only actual arena-sized show (Oslo is a small stadium), and for that reason it was the only show that appealed to me.  Nice outdoor ampitheatre and being in a great city helped as well!

Prices weren't that bad either - certainly a lot less than had they gone ahead with the arena tour theyd planned to play last autumn.

Looks a bit like the Hollywood Bowl, in fact. As you can see from this pic of a Babs concert

Texas ain't no Germany my friend...

But that place looks AMAZING...Even a Babs show would be great to see there...I LOVE LOVE LOVE Berlin as well.
One of my favorite cities. I have been fortunate to have been to West Berlin, East Berlin and a Unified Berlin...

Saw The Who there about 10-12 years ago so why not The Stones, or they could go back and play that former basketball arena again where Joel Osteen preaches up a storm.

Thank you Jesus! Thank you Lord!

Yes it would be fun...the venue itself has a VERY interesting history...

It was believed that George Goebbels was a huge fan of rock-n-roll and wanted a place to take off his jack boots and uniform and just relax after a full day at  bunker.
Once when the the Rolling Stones performed there on 15 September 1965, the theatre was severely damaged. Fans stormed the stage, and after the band left after a set of only 20 to 25 minutes, fought police, who attempted to control them with rubber truncheons and fire hoses, and destroyed the seating, fire hydrants and other furnishings. 270,000 DM in damage was done, in a riot that fulfilled the dire prophecies of some Berlin newspapers about rock concerts and was the first inter-generational battle of the 1960s in Germany.[

Hey, Gazza, SV, and Matthias, hope to see you there, or before the show, anyway!!   You rock!

Does anyone know if they can fiddle with that stage?  It looks much too high, during the Babs concert.

Doesnt look as high in the other photo I posted, which appears to be some kind of theatrical production.

Orchestra area is all seated there too.. maybe Babs just likes to look down her hooter at the fans.

Am I right in saying there's no tongue pit at these shows but just a general pit area (although with early access for the VIP holders, no doubt) ?
