Thanks for this thread! I cant believe how LUCKY my Lucky Dips were in Paris!
The first night, the lady at the window looked up some numbers on the receipt and handed us an envelope with NO FILTER PIT!!! I was so happy, we got right on the front rail KEEF's side. It was amazing because most of my friends were in the No Filter Pit with full price tickets. So it was amazing!!! I thought no matter what seats I get the next 2 shows I've already hit the jackpot!
The second night, I went back to the same window with the same lady from the first night. She actually asked me if I prefer seats or standing, and I just said I prefer No Filter Pit. She accidently handed me 2 envelopes, one with PIT and one with seats. As I walked away I noticed the extra envelope, contemplated selling them because I saw plenty of willing buyers, but I went back to her and told her she gave me 2 envelopes by mistake. She thanked me and said she would of gotten in trouble. So I said remember me! That night we went to Ronnie's side because MICK stands on his side mostly, and it was so great!
The 3rd night, I went back to the same lady at the window and she handed me another envelope with No Filter Pit!!! I almost fell over, I think my legs gave out! Went back to Ronnie's side on the catwalk rail. This turned out to be the best place to stand in the PIT. You can see everyone so close up, it was unbelievable!
Each night in the Pit I was surrounded with people from US, Holland, Argentina, Japan, Romania, UK, and everyplace you can think of. The NO FILTER fans are the most dedicated and I can see why people spend $900.00 for a ticket. As much as I loved being there, I choose to live within my means buying the Lucky Dips. The way I see it, even if I end up in a crappy seat, I'll self-upgrade to a better seat. This was too good to be true, Stones karma blessed me with a trifecta of PITS with only spending $60.00 per ticket! Am I lucky or what??? UH HUH NO SHIT HELL YEAH!!!
