IN for San Jose. ONLY doing this because I can get there and back cheaper and take my about to expire mandatory vacation time for much cheaper than I can do LA if I get shut out of the cheap tickets.

I ALMOST lost these because I got tired of watching the TM wheel turn and also simultaneously tried for Oakland and got kicked out and had to start over.

Oakland was available for a good 20 mins and San Jose still as of 10:28.

You have to go off the link on the Stones website, you won't find these if you start off on the Ticketmaster page

Yeah the tricky bastards don't tell you,that you have to go through the Stones website. if you just go straight to ticketmaster,you don't get the $85 option. I picked up a pair for San Jose. They may end being nosebleeds. But if they don't sell the expensive tickets. Maybe we'll get lucky and get upgraded. I'm sure Mick doesn't want to look out and see empty seats in front of him. What the fuck?

I started at rollingstones.com (as well as 4 phones) and never saw the $85 option; also, by the time I got through (about !0:08), I couldn't find a single seat for less than $600.

I am sure these are assigned along with VIP packages, Shelley Lazar's tickets, especially if they have no trouble selling nosebleeds for $150. If you don't get pit then I figure you are just likely to end up in the rear corners of the lower level (hard sell $600's) or maybe production holds in the corner behind the stage than nosebleeds.

Interesting to see what happens.

Shit!

Did you open RS.com before 10? Maybe they didn't put the $85 tab on there until after 10. I made the mistake of going to TM first. Thenwent to the Stones website and saw the $85 tab.

That appears to be what happened, though I thought it was 10 on the dot. My lack of experience killed my chances. I'm disappointed.

That's what I'm thinking too Mojo. Upgrade me baby. It would be awesome to be sitting next to somebody who paid 600 bucks when I only paid 85. Tongue

Was this for Philly? There'll be more shows there. Hopefully you'll get another chance for the next one.

Its probably as SCL says...ie, theres no link available before a certain time, then it appears. The Hyde Park facebook presale was like that the other day too.
