I have NO idea about anything regarding this venue...on an island...wha....?? please explain (I mean I could google it...but maybe u have insight)...take a farrie over? I'm sorta comtempating NOT going as its WED Buffalo (2 hr drive w/ 3 others). Then SAT is Montreal (I drive by myself! ahh for 6 hours) then stay in the area until MON for Ottawa's show (and then drive home w/ a gf probably the next day)....so sorta unsure if I'm 100% going to this show.

It's pretty big - the Formula 1 track is on there, as well as the casino, and some of the old World's Fair buildings. You can drive there or take the subway. Very pretty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolranchdressing! Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Selling Zone 1 hard copy ticket at cost (bought in presale but managed to get pit tics) thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty123 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Anyone have an idea where this will be placed? I've been looking at the park map of ile Notre Dame and can't find an area that fits the shape shown on evenko. If it's on the racing circuit, will we be able to use the stands/bleachers? Or is the ground sloped at all? Asking because I'm 5"1 and have tickets in zone 3 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very pretty. oh thank you for the info...I may be taking the train to Montreal...a few Qs if you're able to help...if not, no worries!!... 1) what's the train staition name VIA rail? 2) I'm assuming the subway station is close to the rail system then? 3) do you know if the subway would be working once the show is over (like at midnight still)...do you know what the curfew is for the subway? 4) know of any cheap hotels/motels around there?...I'm searching but I gotta figure out the subway system I guess!

If so, there's a slight slope to the field, but nothing drastic. No stands/bleachers if it's the same setup. This is a picture of the Heavy MTL setup: It's basically a festival setup if it's the same as Heavy MTL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure heavy mtl was always on St. Helens island...hopefully I'm wrong though because that setup looks so much better than a flat terrain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Parc Jean Drapeau span more than one island? I assumed it was contained to St. Helen's. So I could very well be wrong if that's the case - I've only been to that festival once, so I'm going off of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parc drapeau includes St. Helens where there's festivals like heavy mtl, ile soniq, osheaga, also laronde and the biosphere. It also includes notre dame island which has the casino and the racetrack. So yeah it's divided in two. And gnr are for sure playing on the racetrack. Also in a newspaper they were calling it a "new concert location" so unfortunately I don't think it's the same place as the main heavy mtl stage :/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzyzz Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Grabbed a couple of PIT tickets for this show on fan presale. Saw GN'R in Toronto on my birthday last year, it was fantastic!.. Looking forward to this one as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolranchdressing! Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I'm selling my ZONE 1 ticket for $30 below retail price, hard copy (got pit tix after the presale...) if interested, let me know, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzyzz Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) Additional GA PIT tickets have been released for those who've missed the initial sale. Run! http://www.evenko.ca/en/events/12052/guns-n-roses/parc-jean-drapeau/08-19-2017?brand=gnr&camefrom=CFC_GNR_grid_819 Edited January 30, 2017 by izzyzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood Gunner Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I have 2 GA1 tickets I'd be willing to sell 20$ below face value if anyone wants to buy em so I can upgrade to PIT now that they released more lol I was able to secure one during the original public sale but let it go cuz I've been to see gnr alone too many times and figured I'd bring a friend this time BTW for all you outta towners, I'm pretty sure the rib fest at the old port is going on that same weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
