StubHub or VividSeats has plenty of seats...PIT or otherwise.

https://www.vividseats.com/rolling-stones-tickets/performer/738

I usually use VividSeats Day of shows or games myself, but both are pretty legit.
I've been looking to see if a good enough deal comes up so I can dump/sell my LuckyDips.
But I usually seem to get PIT or floor LDs.

Just be aware of the delivery method for your tkts, that is up to the seller.

Not sure who Neil will be using as his second guitarist in that line up as Nils Lofgren will be on tour with Bruce (in fact they're playing where I live around the same time). Probably Micah Nelson, as Poncho Sampedro has long retired.

Anyway, Neil is apparently the headliner on Saturday May 4th. Two days after the Stones' gig.

A friend and I booked hotels and flights for NYC1, NYC2, Foxboro and Orlando...we're waiting for the prices on concert tickets to drop to actually buy them, cause 900-1500+about 200 in fees for a pit ticket is simply too fucking much (I don't need face value standard admission, would pay a bit more than that but not THAT much more for GA, but I'd gladly pay those 900 or what it was for the SMU package cause that was 900 with fees and early entry so it's worth it for me), which is why I am excited for the tour and anxious about the tickets to equal parts...

Guess the guys will start tour rehearsals soon, don't you think? Maybe in 2 weeks or so? With the new album and not having toured last year, they probably might start a bit sooner than just 4 weeks ahead as usual...

Check out Vivid Seats...pit tkts are $500-$700 + tax, (depending on the city)

https://www.vividseats.com/rolling-stones-tickets/performer/738

[size=12]Also, sec 140 at Metlife are great seats...and very easy to self upgrade, especially during Miss You with the exodus to the bathrooms.
Thats where all the LD will likely end up as they did in2019....they are right above the field access breezeways.

Good Luck!/size]

Thanks for the info! Have you bought tickets on Vividseats before? I don't really trust that it says the ticket will be deliverer to your phone on the day of show, or max. 3 days before the show...this sounds to me that those people re-selling the tickets don't even have them yet themselves but already are selling them...so what happens if they can't get them themselves in the first place to then deliver them? We'll be travelling across the pond and then stand in front of the stadium ticketess, not gonna risk that...I just don't understand why there are no direct transfers available, or next to none, maybe 4 tickets in an entire stadium out of all that are being sold promise a direct transfer, all others are on-day delivery or even worse, local pick-up, which is even dumber, cannot have some rando walk me into the stadium with his mobile and then leave, what if they wanna check again inside?!

I use them all the time. As a matter of fact...I'll be using them today to buy Pitbull / Ricky Martin tickets.
I usually use them for Hockey games as I tend to decide the day of since they are all the time.

I bought my Stones Buffalo tkts there last time. When the show cancelled, I had my money back (all of it) in 72 hours.
I hope that helps.
StubHub is also reliable, but tends to be a bit more expensive.

As far as not having the tkts until just before the show...isnt that what the Stones do with Lucky Dips?
At least with Vivid, you know exactly where the seats are that you are buying.

If you go to the stadium, you will get a ticket no matter the method...
Hell, you can use Vivid while at the pre-party and have your tkt within minutes.
There's also plenty of solo folks with LDs, like myself.
I'm not sure what I am doing with my second tkt...maybe just give it away as I walk to will call.
I tend to get Pit or floor center every time, so lets see if that continues.
Even if its a bad seat, I self upgrade or just ask for better seats from guest services.
Enough about me though.

The day of miracle tkts are long gone, I know that.
It's been years since someone simply handed me a free tkt...last time was 2002 Licks tour in DC....but then again, tkts were $10- $20 in the lot regardless.
2015 I scored 2 great floor seats in the lot in BUF for $180...thats was pretty much the last miracle tkt I scored at a big show like that.
I Don't go to stadium shows other than Stones, so not sure the what goes on really at others.

Either way, good luck. I hope your decisions work out.

Thanks for the insights! It's good to know that it works well for getting your money back when te event is cancelled, I have read some other stuff from people who used other re-seller sites and they weren't so lucky with getting their money back in that case.

You got me wrong, it's not about wanting the ticket in my hand (or rather on my phone) right away just to have it...but rather that I don't fully trust re-selling sites. As I understand the principle (but maybe I' wrong), tickets that are listed with a transfer date that is the week or day of the show aren't actually currently in posession of the person selling them (or why else wouldn't they directly transfer them?) So if they don't have the ticket yet, who guarantees that they will manage to get it and then re-sell it to me?

That exact problem happened to my friend's colleague when we went to the show in Berlin in 2022, he "bought" a ticket on a re-seller site, being told he would get the ticket later...but the re-seller didn't manage to actually still get a ticket themselves, so they told my friend's colleague a few days before the show that they didn't have the ticket...fortunately he got his money back (and managed to find a ticket on Ebay he could pick up from the seller) but what happened there is exactly what I'm worried about when using Vividseat or any other re-seller that tells me I'll only get my ticket the day of the show...

Ever since the exchanges changed their payment terms in 2020 to after event, sellers transfer the tickets as late as possible (so if the exchange goes out of business they aren't out tickets). Now if someone is using VividSeats proprietary point of sale system Skybox, they get paid on delivery and may transfer right away.

I rarely buy more than a few hours though.

I would recommend completely avoiding Stubhub. If you don't believe me, spend 5 mins on the Stubhub reddit. I use Tickpick 1st, Vivid 2nd, mainly Vivid is easier to navigate on my phone but final purchase may be same ticket on Tickpick which uses both all in pricing and is still honoring my broker discount tho I haven't sold in about 2 years.

Have Lucky Dips for Houston, Glendale, LA1 and Santa Clara.

WOW!
All great info...Thanks @ijwthstd.
I agree with your comment on Vivid...much more phone friendly.
Never had any issues.
I'll try TickPic next time...never have before.

Scored great seats for Pitbull the other evening for my Glimmer Twins...
they were thrilled with the seats I was able to secure for them
about 2 hours before showtime.

You are totally Bookending this tour...NICE!!

EDIT:

Just bought 2 tkts on Vivid for KMFDM this Thursday
They were half price from box office too !!
