Which would make sense, since Adler appeared at the slowest selling US gigs last year....would make sense to do something "extra" for a show like this. I've checked the other two major boards and researched the press releases I can find online. No luck on anything special or extra yet.

Ace Nova Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) http://ultimateclassicrock.com/guns-n-roses-2017-tour-more-dates/ That article promises a "larger than life" experience for the Little Rock show....so maybe that's where I got it from....idk.....

Rusty69 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I would guess considering the other shows announced on May 25 were arenas vs Little Rock being the only stadium show, larger than life was used. Thanks for finding the information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just not sure why Adler would be involved again after his interviews in January or izzy based on his opinion on the money offered. But, I'm just basing that on what has happened in the past 14 months only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty69 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 They have changed the seating chart now, two sections are now closed off. Sections 5 and 27 which are the first on each side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might just be it's outdoors in August in Arkansas. True. Unless you're from the south you can't understand the humidity here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernsoul Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 This show was always weird. Dumped on sale months after the other gigs in hardly a big market, it looks like a disaster really. They've moved the stage forward and reduced tickets to $55-80 for most of the seats even by the stage and $29 at the back and it is still very poorly sold. I'm just surprised we didn't get the "logistical reasons" cancellation bullshit but it's gonna be a pretty bad turnout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty69 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 It seems to me from the rumored possible show at the bonaroo location this was the choice when that date was not able to be secured. Also, it's harder to sell in the amount of time considering the size of the venue. The stadium hasn't hosted a large concert from what I read since an N'SYNC show many years ago. Regardless, we will get a 3 hour show. And it will be solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugachev Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 (edited) Guess I should've waited for the discount. We spent $1,200 on floor seats, could've gotten PIT tickets for cheaper. I really don't understand why they didn't book this at the Verizon Arena, far better venue, in doors, and won't be 2/3s empty.

rockphantom Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Wow! Bleachers instead of actual seats? Is this place a high school football stadium??

You'd be pissed if you paid full price of $250+ given the prices they're selling at now, then really pissed if you turned up and hadn't known you were sitting on a bench!

I would be. I've seen 3 shows on the NITL tour. Both Vegas April 2016 gigs and the Arlington, TX show on August 3, 2016. That's enough for me. Unless, there is a major shakeup (Izzy and/or Steven/Matt return/NEW album), I am done spending money on high priced GNR shows. After listening to the Apollo broadcast and being exposed to the stale setlist yet AGAIN, I've realized I really don't care much about modern day GNR anymore.... As a die-hard fan since 1989, I can't believe I have gotten to this point.... Edited August 2, 2017 by rockphantom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they start going back to places on the arena leg they will hopefully shake it up but I am starting to doubt the set will change at all.

Iron Maiden, Motley Crue, and Van Halen are famous for delivering the same show every night. I remember back on the Illusion tour when every show was a unique spectacle of no-holds-barred hard rock. I caught the Houston show on September 4, 1992 and the Austin gig on February 23, 1993 and both performances were completely different. I hope the fall 2017 tour is drastically different from the current show. Perhaps, Skin N' Bones revisited? That would work for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back then it was the SAME stuff said between each and every song.. just the names of the towns would change but the stories would stay the same.

Joeypeeps Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Who gives a shit about venues and if they do/don't have seats. It's a GNR show, you shouldn't be sitting down anyway. Personally, I'm not all that crazy about the sound in the Mega sized NFL stadiums. I plan on having a kick-ass time. No complaining from me. ??? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love GNR dearly, but I want an actively creative band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
