xBrownstonex Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Do you think there is a chance shows like the 2nd boston could be cancelled if they dont sell enough tickets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cremefraiche Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) No promoter worth his salt would ever admit such defeat as cancelling a second show. They'd give out free tickets to friends and family before that ever happened, especially on a 'comeback' tour This sort of thing happens all the time when promoters slightly misjudge the market or whatever. They aren't sitting there saying "let's put on an extra show, fully knowing it won't sell well and then offer other fans reduced prices to annoy the ones dedicated enough to pay full price!!" There are many fans who are now able to see the show because of A) a second show or B) reduction in expense. It's just tough luck I guess, no legal shadiness at all. I live in NZ where often if a band hasn't quite filled a venue towards the week of a show they will put out reduced tickets just to fill the last few spaces and it's just something you gotta live with. Think of it like paying the extra for the security of knowing you're definitely gonna be there etc. People who may be just as big a fan as you or I are now jumping for joy that they can afford to go to this awesome event now. I agree that it can be very annoying - I once went to a festival that was getting canned so on the last day they started letting people in for free after 5pm just because why not, and to be honest not many people really gave a shit it was a more the merrier situation. Also once lined up to get tickets for the chilis and only seats available by the time we got to purchasing were at the very back so thought it's better than not seeing them at all - half an hour later they announce a second show and it was the biggest clusterfuck trying to swap someone seated tickets for GA the next night, but at the end of the day its win-win for the band and the fans, except the people who are bitter about having to pay more. If you were willing to pay that much, and you did, then who cares what someone else is paying? The people paying the reduced price have spent the last few months probably coming to terms with the fact they won't be seeing the guys on this tour, I'd personally be happy to pay extra to secure my ticket for the hype of every morning knowing i am one sleep closer to seeing axl, slash and duff play together again!

I think they gotta do something pretty soon to start cranking up the hype again. Axl being in Europe, it can't be a filmed interview. Maybe conference call put into print? Things have been extra quiet since those Troubador once a day things... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychoKiss344 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 The only thing that would cause real hype to the casual fans is either a filmed press conference or TV interview... While we would all even love to hear them on Eddie Trunk or something that won't increase ticket sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stella Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I think they overestimated how many people were willing and able to pay those ticket prices. There are plenty of people who would have loved to have bought tickets a long time ago, but were priced out. It seems to be an issue facing a lot of tours right now; Live Nation recently had a bunch of shows on sale for $20 to try to move tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such fucking BS... as some of us said since the beginning, this is a blatant cash grab farewell tour and things like this happen under such circumstances. the only thing that matters here to the GNR estate is money. it's just another clear indication of how painfully mismanaged and out of touch the 'band' is with their fans. and using the term 'band' is really pushing it because, just like 'NuGuns' (whatever the hell that abomination was), this current incarnation of individuals is nowhere close to being a 'band'. a 'band', afterall, is at least professionally cohesive and focused on practicing, recording, and releasing new music. but, there will never be another album of original music. whatsmore, they all sound and look like shit outside of Duff. why would anyone support such an obvious scam? anyway, i'm still in touch with a good 10-15 people who attended tons of different shows back in the day and no one has bought a ticket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunsNRevolvers2 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 They added a second show in MA? Well word, that means I'll be able to fly back from CO and get to it hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussTCB Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 They REALLY need to get around to lowering the price of Detroit tickets. They released a TON of tickets a couple weeks ago and all of them are still available. As it stands a ton of the floor is unsold along with several sections being next to empty. They need to do a whole hell of a lot more to move tickets and they need to do it fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychoKiss344 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 They are gonna need some heavy promotion if they wanna sell more of these tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajdintn Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 It would also help if they would announce the openers for these other shows. They keep sending tweets out about stuff we already know and keeping half of the other cities in the dark until a month before. A solid opener in some of these other cities could pick sales up a little I would think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Wonder if Axl even cares about Guns....now that he's in ACDC? Feel bad for Duff and all he did to reunite Guns. Hopefully these stadiums sell out (still think they shoulda done 3-5 stadiums to wet appetite and then a massive arena tour), but with TB ya never know. Glad I saw both Vegas shows!

Bulldog Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Phoenix is still wide open. 50% left. I haven't bought tickets yet, Im going to wait until they drop or get them cheap off someone with buyers remorse close to the show just trying to cut their loses.

Glad I saw both Vegas shows! if he is getting a guaranteed pay day regardless of whether it is 100% capacity or 50% capacity I am sure he is not all that concerned However I am sure he and the rest of the band is going to do some promotion like Jimmy Fallon or Jimmy Kimmel when Axl is back in the states Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not knowledgeable enough to elaborate a ton, but blocks of tickets (entire rows, multiple rows) were withheld from the original sale. Groups of these tickets have been released periodically.
