SoulMonster Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Seems like the band can do more Vegas residencies before they have to release new music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman007 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Very good numbers! There is still a demand for Guns in the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-GenerationX Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Inb4 someone claims that tickets were being given away for free. Even so, the venue or whoever still has to buy them at cost. Band gets paid either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Band gets paid either way.Yes, it was a bit of a joke. When I was attending show #5 it was packed and people were trying to get tickets at the box office prior to the show. Glad to see it was a success! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-GenerationX Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 This could be their future. Does a full scale domestic tour even sell in 2014 and beyond? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Great numbers. I honestly doubted their ability to attract people to the shows, but they did it. Great job of advertising and getting the shows together. Easy pay day. In a fantasy world this will be the money to fund the release of the next album. I forget how many guns fans there are.

Black Sabbath Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Very good numbers. A little better than I expected, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carne_asaDA Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 They only grossed $1.5 million for 6 shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangoSkank Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 They only grossed $1.5 million for 6 shows. My thought too... tie band member salaries, crew payments, lodging, transportation, etc. is that really that much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Jay Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 They only grossed $1.5 million for 6 shows. And they grossed $14 million for the SA tour.But GNR had a lot more talks and press due to the US run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Great numbers. I honestly doubted their ability to attract people to the shows, but they did it. Great job of advertising and getting the shows together. Easy pay day. In a fantasy world this will be the money to fund the release of the next album.I forget how many guns fans there are.I'm glad the Vegas shows were a success. But why are people surprised that GnR was able to sell 3,000 tickets a night?Vegas gets almost a 100,000 visitors a day. Over 40 million a year.So it's sort of like saying we're surprised that GnR could sell 3,000 tickets in a city with a couple hundred thousand people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl_morris Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Is the rock on he range the gross for all the bands. It will be interesting to see GNRs cut on a festival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyler durden Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I am psyched to see them at my local Casino in Calgary. I think the are slotted between the Headpins and Loverboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2112 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 They only grossed $1.5 million for 6 shows. My thought too... tie band member salaries, crew payments, lodging, transportation, etc. is that really that much?Yeah but the fee for the band is not the gross profit from ticket sales. The promoter probably payed close to a million a night, . I heard when they played download it was a million pounds. Also you've got to factor in other revenues at these concerts VIP, t-shirt and memorabilia sales, money was made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
