No, the pics you've seen of the US stadiums are what's available in the Nightrain pre-sale. It's a scattered selection of seats that was made available. Then there's the citi pre-sale which has more available seats that's not visible in the screenshots posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pre-sales (Citi,NT etc...) are only allotted a certain amount of tix. The general on sale will have 90% of seats available...or more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only allocate a certain # of tickets for each presale. Thats why more shows up if you put in 412800 for the Citi Presale.This is why I am hoping to be able to get a 2nd pit ticket. Right now I only have one and need 2. Then I must sell my other regular seats they won't let me exchange. They sure did allocate some decent but mostly shit seats to the nighttrain presale though Edited April 5, 2016 by Tourettes2400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the citi pre-sale seemed to have a real good amount of seats available. I'm estimating that if all those sell, you are left with about 50% of the seats for the general sale. Not familiar with the Citi-card though. Is this something that many people have in the US, and are eligible for the pre-sale?

All of the blue dots are tix that can be purchased right now, before the general onsale. That leaves a much lower percentage remaining than 90%.

However, there are always so many presales run through Ticketmaster these days that between those and the instant StubHub sellers shows seem to "sell out" faster than ever before.

Saltzy Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) There is no blanket answer to this yet. Also, there are just so many variables left to be determined. Honestly, the 1st domino to fall are going to be the reviews from the shows this weekend. If they are good and the word gets out it's gonna increase the demand. Then you need to calculate in the specific location for each show. Obviously some regions have more money than others. Then finally, the weather for each show which is always like 50% in deciding where the final market will be. In places like NYC the delta for the prospective prices is huge depending on how nice out it happens to be on 7/23. If it's 85 degrees and sunny out, tickets are gonna be hard. If it's shitty that whole week, a lot of casual fans will say 'fuck it' and dump their tickets for whatever they can get. Overall, I give them like an A for how they handled this whole thing. It's exactly how I would have done it. 1 suprize LA club show out of no where to build the intrigue and to play for the super diehards and VIP's that were able to get in, 2 nights over a weekend in Vegas to really get the word out and to play for masses for the 1st time back, and 1 stadium show per city during the summer for the whole spectrum from die hards to soccer mommies and daddies that want to pretend they are still cool for a night. All in all, it won't be some super duper hard ticket to get (at least if we're just talking to get in somewhere), but there will be demand and I'll bet that all the shows in the major metropolitan areas all sell out.

BillyMac Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 I certainly hope they all sellout, just for the sake of being able to say GNR can still pull in the crowds. But my point was really this whole thing is based soley on playing to people's nostalgia. No new album, no press, no opener yet, no set lineup til last weekend, I love some of the things management did with keeping things a mystery and I love the museum idea if it travels, but there was a whole lot of banking on nostalgia to do a stadium tour based solely on that!

TKesseli Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 if sales are not doing well at some point they can bring steven and izzy on board for guest appearances, make a press conference and people will go nuts for the remaining tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is supposed to be the best seat available I shouldn't see better seats in my section when the damn seat map comes up. What you're not considering is, when you bought those tix, there were many others online also searching for tix. The "better" seats you now see might have been tied up by others as they viewed them but eventually thrown back into the que for various reasons. Point is, the tix you got may have been the best available at the moment you searched for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classicrawker Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 If it is anything like the Stones ticket sales they only offer up the expensive tickets first to get people to panic buy.....I doubt they offer up every seat during the presales....I would be very surprised if any of these shows are close to sellouts at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzy92 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 How is it possible...you had Guns/Metallica at the absolute peak of their games in 1992 with more massive openers and those sold out fairly quickly. I don't see how a GNR tour these days (even though it's a reunion) can sell 70,000 tickets in every city at these prices. There are tickets all over the place in Toronto, got locked out this morning but went in 4 hours later and got row 13 centre on the floor. Looks to me like the $285 is a little much for people on no notice whoch makes complete sense. Eventually it should sell out, but I truly don't see any of these (save for maybe Chicago/New York) as anything close to instant sell outs.

Last tour they offered very few cheap seats in the presale while offering the more expensive seats first to try to lure in panic buyers to buy the big buck seats. Maybe these shows are different but I would be surprised if all seats were offeredd from the get go........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illusionone Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 the demand does not seem to be there for Boston so far - I just bought 2 tickets from the original NT resale and I pretty much had a choice of what I wanted by price level. I'm happy for that reason, but hope they sell out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most casual fans are probably not a member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
