If not, I’d imagine they may be able to sort something out for you, especially if you’re on crutches. They are lucky dip so they could be standing, upper tier or anywhere really. I wont know until I turn up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Explain your situation when you turn up and see what they can do. Might be they can accommodate you seated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 I picked up a pair of LD tickets for Twickenham, which I now can't make. AXS were utterly useless, just a flat "no" when I asked if anything could be done about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdm22 Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 Standing ticket for next Tuesday has finally turned up despite a complete lack of help from Ticketmaster! Now....does anyone want to buy it? ? £80 inc special delivery. (I have tickets for Coventry too so going to that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just waiting for the set times now, hopefully the weather will be good so we can enjoy a few cans in the Olympic Park before going in. Want to see LG but want to minimise the amount of time inside spending money and queuing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylishkids Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 Got a spare ticket for the Manchester show if anyone fancies it. A lucky dip ticket so it’s only £35. You’ll have to sit with yours truly. If it’s a seating ticket that is.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes if its the same layout - I have never been there so I don't know at what point they first start checking the tickets - if I knew for sure I could walk over bridge 2 as my entry point is Turnstile J and that Bridge is near the station but I just cant risk it as my ticket says use Bridge 1 - they don't really explain where the checks are before the Turnstile .

I am not looking forward to the Bar prices as its bound to be High. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxialac Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Erm, the Neighbours theme cover was clearly a joke. Neighbours is a song by the Rolling Stones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nal Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Great gig from the lads last night. Highlights for me were Just Your Fool, Before They Make Me Run, The Worst and Brown Sugar. Especially the opening riff of Brown Sugar with sounding like Keith turned it up ti 11 in my right ear. Sound was great and it was very very loud by the end. They sound great. Age defying stuff. Fuck you God. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Good to hear. Normally the first gig of the tour can be a bit of a car crash, but they've clearly been rehearsing like billy-o in the stadium. That and the fact that Keith's sober. Hopefully he'll stay on the wagon for the whole tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 I'm nicely pumped for Tuesday now, gonna be great. Sympathy's an odd choice for opener though, always thought Start Me Up should be the automatic choice, that riff is the perfect opener to any gig.

CaledonianGonzo Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 (edited) It actually works pretty well, I think. Makes a change from JJF or SMU. Hope that Street Fighting Man creeps back into the setlist. It was one of the highlights last year.

The Nal Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 They haven't played Jack Flash properly ever really. Went down well though. Paint it Black was a bit shaky, slow and a bit ploddy. Great apart from that, and I'm nitpicking. And a missed the highlight above, Midnight Rambler. 12 minutes. Genuinely one of the best tunes I've seen any band play live. Mean mean stuff. People hugging and high fiving each other after around me. Scenes. Sober Ronnie keeps things ticking over nicely but sober Keef is like watching a great old bluesman with a lifetime of it behind him. Like when Richards would've heard Muddy or Skip James or John Lee Hooker in the 60s. Hes playing great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they opened with SFTD at nearly all the dates last year. Whilst about 3/4 of the set is going to be predictable, you never quite know what else you get. It’d be nice to have some more tracks rarely aired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 (edited) Had a good giggle last night reading along on IORR with all the Stones gammons getting irate that they weren't playing a three hour set of rare album tracks. As it stands now, there are only a couple of wild cards per set - and one of those is set by the fan vote. If you're lucky your number will come up and you'll get something special (I lucked out last year in Amsterdam when they played Shine A Light). Hoping that they're keeping Monkey Man up their sleeve for Edinburgh. Edited May 18, 2018 by CaledonianGonzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of train connections I have changed my mind and now going to get off at Hackney Wick Station but its a bit tricky of a route to reach the Park. its a right pain when you cant walk far so I cant risk turning down the wrong road so by the time I reach the Park I will need a drink fine in the daylight but will be more tricky when we are leaving. god knows why they picked there - would have been far better at Wembley.

Wembley has the FA Cup this weekend and the play-offs next weekend so it’s not available this week. London Stadium are pushing hard for more gigs.
