Do you guys think there may be a seating chart for the Hyde Park tickets tomorrow?
I just wonder how close to the stage the Tier 2 category actually is.

this is the chart for Bon Jovi.

Its a bit generic and doesnt include the inner 'diamond' circle

I did see one when their shows were announced which was a bit different than that.

Christ - get some old linen diapers and wrap the kid up like a mummy.
Two week turtle-neck diapers!

Spend the money on the Stones.
Kid won't know the difference and years from now, when you are paying like $50K per semerster for school, the little fucker wil appreciate the old man's attitude!

IF the ticket gods shine a light, there WILL be a Chicago Summit.
And yes it is a Tuesday BUT it's the Tuesday after Memorial Day. Most of us have Monday off anyway.
Parmeda is on board as am I, Sweet Virginia and perhaps Martha.
I've discussed this with SheRat as well.

Boomy?
Bucky?
Nanky?
Meg?

MUST GET TICKETS. MUST GET TICKETS. MUST GET TICKETS!!!!!!!!!

Seems like a smattering of shows in the Southeast would be appropriate.

Chicago sounds great, you know it does!
Mrs. nanky and I love it.

But I am trying to get my 2 girls to a show.
They deserve to see a Stones show.
That is my goal.
All other goals are secondary.

And 5/28 is not looking good for one of them.
So....as much as I want to, cannot commit yet.
Not at these prices.

Actually thinking Toronto might be a possibility.
Will have to shove all the Better seen on weed!

nankopotomus, you must do the only logical thing:

take one to the chicago show, the other to toronto. you'd be father of the year.

Actually...starbuck san, you raise the very issue that your nanky is wrestling with tonight.

Honorable daughter # 1, who graduates college right before -- wants to go to Chicago, and her birthday is the day before the show.

Honorable daughter #2, could go to either Vegas or Toronto, but also wants to see Tom Petty and tickets for the Beacon in mid-May are out there.

Father of the year?
Please...

Father of the century.

But papa wants both at a Stones show.
Cirlcle of life, Elton John kinda moof.

================================================================================
===================
Q: Any surprises on the set list, or will it be mostly greatest hits again?

A: Well, we have quite a lot of songs. We will swap around somewhat. I’m interested in feedback and learning what people want. It’s a tricky thing for me when I do a set list. You get bored doing the same songs. Let’s say we do one ballad in two hours, and it’s “Wild Horses.” If you say, I’m tired of that, let’s try something less well known, and then you’re out there stumbling through this song you just relearned at sound check, and you realize people probably want “Wild Horses” instead of this (laughs). You do need to do some songs that aren’t so well known. The question is how many? I’m open to people posting their requests (Jagger has solicited songs on his Twitter account @MickJagger).

Q: I’ve heard from many people today who say they would like to go to the shows but can’t afford a ticket (ranging from $85 to $600). What do you say to them?

A: If you really can’t afford a ticket, it’s sad. I feel bad about that. But there are seats at different prices. We have some cheap ones that are quite good, too. There’s a price for everybody I think.

There is an easy solution to this: rehearse the songs before the tour starts and don't stumble through them.

This show could be absolutely unique in the Stones history in that its a pretty safe bet that you'll be able to walk out afterwards proclaiming 'they played better than they did when they were here in 1969' !
