MistaBrownstone Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I'm going as well, not only is it my first time seeing them live, but it's my first concert period. I've always wanted them to be my first concert. From what I can tell from previous concerts it's gonna kick ass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Linguini Occurrence Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I will be there, been counting the days for months!! Still can't believe they are playing in such a small venue instead of the XL Center or Mohegan, is this the smallest venue on the tour?Great to see so many first timers going to this show, just curious as to why you guys have never seen them before? They've played Hartford every 9 years like clockwork (1993, 2002) and they weren't that far away on the 2006 tour (NYC/Worcester) so the opportunities have been there.

As for as not going to previous concerts, I'm younger than most, so I never really had a chance. In 93 I was just born and I only started getting into them around 06, which is why I am super excited for this show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn!!!!There's a gas station near Fenway Park in Boston that charges $90 parking for certain day games, it totally blows my mind. Then some places like Gillette Stadium in Foxboro charge $40 parking for concerts and the few lots around there charge just as much if not more. So Saturday's show is a really pleasant surprise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyMeatballs Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I'll be there Saturday. It's my first GNR concert and I'm pumped. Been a fan since 8th grade and I'm a senior in college now. Anyone know a good time to get there for good floor seats? Also, have they been going on around 11? (Nothing's set with Axl though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd get there by 5:00 for a good spot in the pit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Linguini Occurrence Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 It's a damn good feeling to wake up this morning and be able to say for the first time in almost 9 years "TODAY I'M GOING TO SEE GNR" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you shouldn't have to get there too early, it's a small pit area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
