A buddy sent a group message to 3 of us, but me and another guy claimed it simultaneously. I don't know where the seats are, but knowing him, im pretty sure they're on the floor.

My background:. Never seen them live before but would to because they're rock legends. I'm just a casual fan and only know the songs on classic rock radio. After looking at the setlists of the previous shows, I know about anywhere from 9-11 songs out of 19 (depending on the show)

Other guy background:. I know nothing of his fandom

If you were the ticket offerer how would you settle this?

And how do I convince the other guy I want em?

I'd start by not offering a ticket to the Stones to 3 people at once.

But now that he's done that...

I'd just ask if one of them were much bigger fans of their music than the other and ask the 2 people to answer honestly. If it's about equal, I'd then ask who's going to bring the best hookers and the most blow? And go off that answer.

I just looked at the set list and if you only know 9 of them (and the other guy knows less), I'm not sure either deserve to go. It's pretty much straight greatest hits. Anyone with a passing familiarity with the Stones should know at least 15.

Doubtful the acceptance was the exact same time. First come first serve, simplest rule.

This. Just look at the chat history. First message gets it.

Gonna take a wild guess that OP was second.

Why would he not break a pool queue in half and have you two fight to the death? Common sense.

Look up the lyrics to Brown Sugar. If you're a little surprised, don't go.

I remember not going to see the Stones in HS (97 or 98) because I thought they'd be too old. Can't believe they're still around.

If you cared enough to go see them, you would have bought your own tickets when they went on sale back in November.

'We claimed it simultaneously'
One of your texts came first, that person gets it. Simple as that.

I actually got a free ticket to a show on that tour and went but wasn't too excited about it, it was just something to do that night. Ended up being an amazing concert. Glad I went.
