This is what almost every legacy act does now- The Who, Aerosmith, Van Halen, The Stones, Ozzy, Queen, etc Sadly, it works. On one hand its great these guys are all playing usually great shows, but the demand at this stage means they dont have to remain creative. GNR could easily bank on arenas if they pace themselves amd lower thw prices a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a couple of Those acts you noted play to half sold arenas now especially in smaller markets. Additionally they usually take a few years off between tours. The original scenario was doing this for the next two to three years by swapping out a few songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is absolutely possible to cover all the primary markets they did on the first US Leg and to sell out every stadium.. Take a closer look... They are playing 2 Forum gigs and one Staples... Thats 3 times 15k equals one Dodger stadium. Same thing with Madison square garden. All major cities have adjacent tour dates. Tours usually go by the same itinerary.. Primary, secondary market..then again primary.. So after the 2nd US leg they should have embarked on the primary market stadiums instead of this pointless over extensive arena leg..

sibidy7 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 The arena show in Chicago is selling very poorly. I think they packed some of those stadium shows last year with half price and free tickets last minute just so the promoter could make up some of the money in drinks/food. There were some half price links up for some shows. It's hard to justify paying another $200+ when they will just play the same show as last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously demand for this tour is higher than anaone excepted...Guns just finished soldout euro tour and going on stadium leg in US...What can I see on live nation site,every stadium have about 3000-4000 unsold tickets...That's amazing demand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Just now, maynard said: I think GNR will keep on touring forever, until they can't do it anymore. This will be even longer than the CD World Tour. This will be the "A Whole Lifetime World Tour" by 2050. My opinion since the beginning. Axl had been in legacy mood since 2011ish so he is certainly going to be more legacy - for lack of a better term - with the reunion and big crowds and cash.

Free Bird Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 3 hours ago, SuperYlvis said: It better be, I could list 20 cities that they can fill stadiums with that they didn't visit this summer. All of them sold out as well. In Germany they played in the south and in the north. They could easily do Cologne (west) and Berlin (east). Other than that they didn't play south east europe. I would say Zagreb and Athens are big markets as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgow, Scotland Manchester, England London, England (they can easily sell out another stadium here) There are also other potential cities like Leeds and Newcastle in England Oslo, Norway Gøteborg, Sweden (Friends Arena, Stockholm was sold out in less than 48 hours, 62k, they can easily do another one in Sweden) Barcelona, Spain Sevilla, Spain Even though they struggled to sell out in Paris, I still think they can have a sell out crowd (smaller stadium than the one in Paris though) in a city in France, for example Bordeaux, Lyon or something Torino, Italy Rome, Italy Milano, Italy Budapest, Hungary Zagreb, Croatia Another in Poland in either Warsaw or Krakow is also an easy sell out 4-5 potential ones in Germany, like Berlin and Hamburg A dozen of other cities in Eastern Europe as well Easily 20+ cities. Apsolutelly avry...Than ad Belgrade (Srbia),Greece,Russia,Turkey...They can easily play 25 stadiums in Europe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickodez Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 They still didn't played North/Northeast of Brazil, since last year people are asking for it, last time they played there was with Duff in 2014 and they are coming again to Brazil, but only to play Sao Paulo Trip and RiR. They can easily do another Latin/South America and Europe legs if they want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true, it's likely because they already played 2 stadium shows there in the past year. I'll bet it still sells out before it's all said and done. And that's all that matters.

grogmug Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 What is the best option to get first dibs on these tickets? Is citicard just as good as a Nightrain membership? I scored some nice seats for St. Louis through citi, but LOUISVILLE is my hometown, and they have NEVER played here before. I really want to get first dibs. My phone has been blowing up all day about it. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grogmug Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) In other words, ANY possible way I can get access to someones Nightrain they aren't using for this show to score some tickets?!?!!
