I'm no tour manager but....shoulda coulda woulda. Yup, got to think an arena tour would have sold out most markets. I know the other argument is that even 25k in KC is more than most arenas. However, stadium tours are more expensive and looks like an eye sore when the entire upper level is blocked off. I have tickets for ATL, who the hell knows how many seats are left with ticketmasters map. KCs map looked almost sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initially it seemed liked the tickets were going fast, but I check regularly and there have been batches of seats released periodically. You can buy tickets anywhere you want right now and the show is in 2 weeks. I thought for sure it would sell out. Philadelphia is a great city for entertainment, a huge market, and events always sell well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way I agree with you on the concept, just not this year. Edited July 1, 2016 by Lancelot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirit Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 37 minutes ago, Original said: I said it before- should have been Chicago (one night), Dallas (one night) and Met Life (2 nights) as far as stadiums. Then massive arena tour. That would be really massive... Take the Kansas City show, they would've filled two arenas with that attendance (if it's in the 25-30,000 range). An arena typically takes 14-15,000 for end-stage. Detroit and DC would have been three nights each. That would then be well over 60 arena shows for a whole tour (to accommodate the same amount of people as the current tour). Even if there aren't many stadium sell-outs, stadiums was the right choice for this tour. Talking from an economical and amount of work –perspective of course.

Agree mainly from the stand point of resting Axl's voice. Stadium = 30 shows, Arenas = 50 if they have to meet the demand for everyone who wants to go. The only mistake may have been some of the second nights, but stadiums were the way to go. Edited July 1, 2016 by KiernanProud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birk Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I wonder how many tickets are left for the 2nd chicago show. I still havent gotten my ticket for the 2nd show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preclose Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Parking seems it might be a bit of a problem. B5, row 1, seats 23-24 if we ever get there. I could've had better seats but I went for that nighttrain pre-sale mess and I'm lucky to have gotten what I got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is the wrong thread for this conversation, but you nailed it with the prices. That's exactly why. Many of the cheap seats appear to be gone (unless TM is holding those back too). So you're left with the option of paying out the ass to sit in seats that are farther away compared to an arena show because of the stadium size. other than that, I can't explain it.

I have a 3 hour commute to the concert because I live in Aurora and my friend coming with me lives out west of Elgin and I'm the driver (and the one who bought the tix, and is giving to him at face value). Man, I'm getting screwed, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveVH4 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 How does one go about getting their tickets upgraded? Also a parking tip: the soldier field website sells parking to their official lots ahead of time. If you are planning on parking in an official lot on day of without prepaying, you may be sol.

Gibson87 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Couple questions 1. What's Soldier field's policy on digital cameras? 2. Why has the upper deck been blocked off fort the last couple shows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoBucky Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Is the McCormick Place lot open for parking like it is for Bears games? We're coming from Gurnee and can't leave until 3:30 so I'm worried about parking as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The A6 tix are still up for grabs, and I am now selling at least the GA2. Face value. Edit: Make that a GA1 that's for sale instead of a GA2. is your GA still available?

Seriously though hitting the show with a friend is worth the extra expense. Have fun and don't trip on how much it costs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurfsUp Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 very excited for tomorrow! i'm in the 400 level, but i'm still psyched. dizzy was at the chicago music exchange today and slash is apparently looking to buy a handwired bluesbreaker that joe walsh used to own! if you're looking for a sighting, he was supposed to be there today, but i guess never showed up. i should say, my roommate works at CME and celebs usually schedule a time to go there. i guess tom petty was in shop last week, haha.
