I read on blabbermouth that they are gonna get paid 12 mil in Vegas for reunion - for the sake of reunion and 14 mil in Coachella... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know why they don't let more ticket in order to be totally packed! Is it safety precautions... You know what I mean? Fire Marshall issues...you can only sell so many GA tix per square feet of GA space. example if you can sell one ticket per one square foot and you have 100 square feet you can only sell 100 tix even if those people bum rush the stage and occupy the closest 50 square feet of the 100 available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. And promoters don't want the liability and possibility of getting sued if someone gets hurt. I'm curious about the Mexico city shows. Someone said they had sold 70k tickets for each show...which means that they would be over capacity. Capacity for that stadium is around 60-70k for soccer matches but I'm assuming the stage end of the stadium won't be sold...so that would take out what? 20k seats.....so 50k plus whatever they fit on the ground. Seems like it will be packed in there with 70k people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the promoters want to get them down to Brazil, Argentina, and the rest of Latin America as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they don't actually lose any permanent seating and add the whole field as GA which dramatically increases the capacity for a concert compared to what it regularly holds. someone correct me if I'm mistaken. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The country as a whole has an average annual income of about $13k. Theres only so much you can charge for tickets. Although I assume the Guatemala VIP package costs a little extra.

Devestating news today, RIP Prince So true.A couple buddy's of mine tried to give me shit for dropping a little over 500 for a pair of tickets for Vegas. I'm still here with my girl ,one of favorite bands growing up about to take stage for first time in 23 years with more then 1 og member,bargain.Money is just paper,last part of pants don't need no pockets.Prince's music wasn't my thing but he was a lot of people's .rip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdriftatSea Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 As mentioned on my profile., I have two extra floor tickets 18 rows from the stage for the Houston show on August 5. My sister bailed on me. My daughter and I are still going. I've ordered a car service to take us. You can ride with us if you aren't a serial killer. Inbox me if you are interested.
