He’s gonna be working there again after this Kat lawsuit is over lol.

Dude I was standing right behind the rail in the pit so not only was I getting hit with the heavy rain but also the sheet of water running off the roofline above. It was insane, and it was amazing. All it did was elevate an amazing show.

I’m coming from Vermont, 5:30 does seem early but I’m going to head down shortly past noon, ride the train in and take my time getting to Fenway.

Pump the brakes sir. For my Metallica ticket for next August, again, I have GA field tickets, granted not Snakepit but still GA pit tickets, and after fees they were $406.80 for TWO NIGHTS. I’m not complaining about that at all, what I’m saying is unacceptable is that since the 2016 reunion, GNR have released 3 “new” songs and that’s it, and they have kept this weird small put up front and seats everywhere else in order to charge an elevated pit price. Which, if they were actively releasing new music and functioning like an actual band producing music I may not have as much of an issue with it. But aside from rotating in a few new songs there’s no justifying a ticket price like $375 before fees for a pit ticket when nothing has changed since 2016 and quite frankly, the opening act sucks (I’m talking about Fenway so I don’t get Carrie Underwood or AIC) it’s unacceptable. I’m sorry if that opinion upsets you. Considering the tiny little pit they use at the stadiums in the US, the fact that pit tickets are available two weeks before the show is concerning. And obviously the promoters know it because they’re offering 4 ticket bundles for $99 at this point and put tickets went from $375 to $149. If the demand were there for the tickets they wouldn’t be dropping prices that hard.

Tickets apparently AREN’T selling. I’ve been debating for months if I wanted to take the trip to Fenway to see them, since my last GNR show was in 2016. But $375 plus fees totaling $450 for a pit ticket was too steep for me. Flash forward to this past Monday when I look and see put tickets are still available, still listed at $375. Just out of curiosity I added one to my cart to see what the total would be, in the cart the ticket was actually $149 plus fees for a total of $188, so I pulled the trigger. $188 is acceptable in 2023, but just barely. $375 before fees is highway robbery, even my Metallica GA ticket for next August at Gillette was only $300 before fees and that’s for both nights.

Yup, on my birthday. I was driving home from seeing Limp Bizkit (my all time favorite band) and Fred Durst had given me a hoodie after the show, so I was already on cloud 9. Then as I’m driving home Absurd hits Apple Music, and while it’s my least favorite out of the “new” tunes released since the reunion (Shadow, Absurd, Hard Skool) it was really exciting to get a new track from one of my favorite bands. For reference, Limp Bizkit, GNR, and Metallica are me three favorite bands of all time. I’m working on a full sleeve on my left arm incorporating all three of them using album covers. So far I’ve got LB finished and partial on Metallicas section, then the top of my arm/shoulder will be GNR.

Well I’ve been going back and forth for months about if I should attend or not, and tickets haven’t been selling well, so just to experiment I threw a $375 GA Turf ticket in my cart, and instead of ringing up at $375, it was $150 so I hit the purchase button. I’ll be in Boston two weeks from today, haven’t seen GNR since night 1 at Gillette in 2016 so I’m excited!
