GnRDuff1 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I feel like they have to have some GA Pit seats trickle out for the other presale and general sales. I bought the membership but feel like I'm just as likely to get a great field level or pit seat Friday at 10am as I was yesterday. I'll try a couple times per day but won't get my hopes up. I don't see why, if there are no GA Pit tickets not tied to VIP, TM has them as a $250 (obviously not VIP) option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Had I known about the fan club business a few months ago I wouldn't have joined. It's not like I needed the password for VIP anyways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocco Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Sorry for being a little offtopic here, but I have a general question about the Tickets. I live in Germany and I'm thinking about going to the San Francisco Show as kind of an awesome Summer vacation. I just wanted to check prices or generally check the layout of the Ticketmaster Homepage in advance so I won't have any difficulties when the general public onsale starts. Now this is my question (probably I just didn't get something right) : Whenever I click on "Nightrain Membership (45$)" and search for tickets, the Captcha pops up and afterwards I only get this screen: Can someone please explain this to me, or tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks guys, I love this forum Plus this will be my first trip to the US of A ever... pretty excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Nova Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I got what I was looking for with the pre-sale. First try had 22nd row, floor, right side of stage. I let those go back and then landed section F3 (Citrus Bowl Orlando) which is center stage, 11th row on the floor. Great seats for a stadium show, imo. I'm pumped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Nova Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) On a side note, anyone notice the huge gaps in the back corners in most of the stadium configurations? All that space must be for sound equipment/cameras I'm guessing? Just seems like a ton of space. Edited April 3, 2016 by Kasanova King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTONIUS Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Im assuming hopefully that thr TM prices are much cheaper than stub hubs? Jus on stub n ranged from 150 (upper bowl) to like well over 600bux (GA pit)... A bit overkill i would think. Btw this is for Toronto's show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axlrosefan4life Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 So looking at ticketmaster site it appears vip is only available till Thursday. I'm willing to bet what ever is left over in ga pit will be released Friday morning 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Signs Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) If tickets were only sold to fan club members ,how is anyone selling anything on Stubhub? I thought there was a two week hold before tickets were released to everyone who purchased them yesterday?

I agree with lhalver, in my experience the app often gives you better seat options too. Good Luck everyone! is there a consensus on whether to use browser on phone incognito mode, or ticketmaster app on phone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the UK and tried for 3 hours yesterday on phones and laptops and kept getting the same message. I tried to download the Ticketmaster app (USA) and got the message "This item is not available in your country" we have to use Ticketmaster UK which of course has no Guns n Roses events. I wish you good luck, I ended up with nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintari Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 15 hours ago, Original said: That's the thing- a stadium really messes things up (LOL) for me and my seating preference. I'm not jugging anyone on their seats, you will be dead center and have a great jumbo view I'm guessing. Me- I gotta be closer, but that's just me. I changed Vegas seats a few times....I finally have what meets my standards (LOL). For arena's I have different standards....I sound like a chick- all high maintenance LOL. I also scored Soldier Field section B, row 1- which for now I'll keep. Gonna try to make a pit move at some point since it's a stadium. I went with the Welcome to the Jungle package instead and got second row seats right behind the pit on the left side of the stage. This will be my first and likely last chance to see Guns in my life time and I want to make sure it's a great experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got exactly what I wanted. Pricing wise, I wanted to be in the $150 range, so I was able to pull up awesome lower bowl seats that are 2 sections from the stage. That'll work out great for me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What worked for me was using the mobile version of the website: m.ticketmaster.com on my phone. The app is also an option but you need a US iTunes account. It's easy to set up. I was able to download and open the app once I got that, but it wouldn't open any events though. Not sure if this is because I'm using a phone outside the US..

God of Thunder Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Ticketmaster sucks....everytime I want to buy tickets the please wait animation loads and loads and loads and nothing ever happens. Also I have to say, I am very happy to live in Europe if I see this ridiculous setup with 200 different ticket categories and VIP and not so VIP and everything in between packages. I feel ripped off already..... I have been to hundreds of shows in Europe and the most they had were 4-5 different categories. And usually for the floor they only have 2 categories (front of stage and the rest; many bands like AC/DC only have 1 GA category and if you are early at the venue you can get front of stage). Do I understand this correctly that most venues have seating on the floor (checked San Fran and Chicago)? How weird is that for a hard rock stadium concert? How does this work practically? Are all these sections on the floor in "little cages" so nobody walks up front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are all these sections on the floor in "little cages" so nobody walks up front? No telling how this will actually work, but what I have seen is each section is fenced off from the other with those slightly higher than waist high metal fences. Rows of seats are set up in each section and typically people stay in their row and things go as smooth as they can. I have been to shows where the entire floor is one big pit and it can become chaos. I haven't seen that in year so I'm guess insurance/safety has taken over and they have to police this and set it up much better. I want no parts of a pit or an entire GA floor at my age. I'm very happy with my club seats. Very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
