Well. Maybe him not being part of GNR is a reason for episodes like this.... assuming it wasn't just an accident.

Axl is the singer, Steven is the drummer.

That is not true. Stubhub is owned by Ebay. Ticketmaster has their own reseller site though. Or they used to have, now they let resellers sell their tickets directly on the Ticketmaster-Website.

And that is "us". Every single one of us that buys tickets and everything he has to sell.

We are the ones that kept Axl in business. What do you think would happen with their service if none of us would take it?? They would have to change the service they offer or stop.

If you really look at it, he's not wrong though. We're the one that kept supporting him doing what he does. If all of us would have stopped supporting him financially (buying his albums, tickets and merchandise), he would have had to make some changes. But probably he would have just stopped then.

Nope. They had 3 albums. One could argue, they even had only 2 albums if you look at UYI as 1 album split on 2 discs. GNR lies was 2 EPs put together on 1 disc.

Geez. Both are worth listening to, it's CD that's not worth listening to, hence the 'since 91'. Just think a bit.

And by far not everyone going to Las Vegas is rich. I would bet that the big majority of people going there are average people. Not everyone in Las Vegas is a high roller.

It is a fucking regular show. Just in Las Vegas. Acts are doing shows left and right in Las Vegas. There is no need to find excuses for a band that charges even more outragous prices than others. There are also acts who play in Las Vegas and have tickets that are affordable. And if GNR insists on their arena profits, well then they should just fucking play in a fucking arena.

You can make excuses all you want. The bottomline still is, this band is greedy as fuck and cares about no one but themselves. They could have declined to do this show.

Well, so it's a mix of back in the day everything was better and worse. Good for you for complaining though. Sometimes that does pay off.

Well. The thing is also, there are way more seated concerts in the US. So way more reason for them to jack up prices. An people being particular in what ticket they get. In Europe, apart from the UK, it's mostly sitting and standing. No seated floors, although lately, as these artists and their audience get older (and supposedly more fluent), more seated concerts have creeped up. You just need to get a general admission ticket and you can get to the front if you really want. And the people who sit, usually don't care that much either way. As the "real" fans usually wanna stand and get as close as possible. If the majority of my concerts would be seated, I would have given up long ago already.

Watch my fucking signature. I went to "multiple" shows too. The initial comment was regarding people who go to "every" show.

Well, forgive me for questioning the state of mind of someone who's idea of enjoying life is standing in front of a stage or concert venue for 300 days in 3 years. I personally love the concerts but really hate all the waiting around that is involved. I love to travel, but I'm also glad once I'm back home again. Of course, after a while I can't wait to go out again, but I need breaks and other stuff to do in between. I question someone doing that nonstop, let alone watching the same show day in day out. Doing the same shit 5 times a week. 4 weeks a month. 12 months a year and that going on the third or whatever year. That's all.

No need to get pissy now. I did see my fair share of shows and I did my fair share of travelling. But there are still worlds of difference. And yes, I will give my opinions on things. That's what forums like these are for. If that pisses someone off, I really couldn't care less.

Yeah. I would like to see that. As I have a hard time believing that official channels really would give tix away for free.

Yeah. All Live Nations fault. Once they have a different promotor prices will be like 2014 again. If you believe that....

Right, she skipped the odd show to see other bands. And who's hating? Being on tour for 3 years straight is perfectly normal.

Yeah. Like I said, when you're at every show you get to meet people and you get to know people. But still. That's not her "entourage". It's just that other people on their own go to multiple shows too.

Because there are people paying it obviously, which was my original point. They would have to charge more if they would do that.

Nobody ever said that they are not nice. Just people like that, who pay any price and always go for the most expensive packages are the ones who drive the price up. The band is asking what the market is willing to pay. People like that are the market.

This is not an issue of who's worse. To some Football is what to us is GNR. So whatever... both have nutty fans. Just a matter of perception of who's "worse".

Yes. And that's a way to beat them. See them at Festival shows.

Yeah. And to add insult to the injury is having to see the hanger ons Instagrams seeing how they all have a good old grand time wherever they go and us being the ones having to pay through our teeths to make them afford it.
