Even if they are holding back every other row, that is a lot of people they would have to find a place for down below. I think... assuming they aren't holding back even more tickets than I'm already estimating... it would be questionable if they'd have enough space for everyone. That is along with the expectation that they will be doing discounts like they have for previous shows, they have been doing a pretty good job of moving tickets in a underselling venue. I doubt they'll close the entire top level, but they may close individual sections and move those people down to fill the unsold seats. Probably even do quite a bit of upgrading people on the spot. On previous show you could see sections of seating in the lower areas suddenly disappearing which indicated they were going to be closing upper areas. I haven't seen that happen yet for this show (we are talking the second night right?). That could be because they have chunks of seating they never made available they will simply move the people to or they just haven't started shifting people yet. I think I'll keep an eye on the map to see if there are any strange seat movements. It also bugs me that I can't see the seating chart for the first show. What is up with that? If this were to happen, what is the process stadiums take to upgrade people? Do they inform you when you enter the stadium? I have 300 level tickets for Sunday.

TheDave0206 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 This was posted on HTGTH, but figured it might help some here... ticket buyers from Saturday got a "Bounce Back" offer yesterday for Sunday tix... basically they cut 75% of the tix's prices in half for this offer... did not include any floors, pits, or the very lowest rows in the lower levels, but you can get tix right on the side of the stage for $90 after fees now, and tix upstairs are as low as $17.50 before fees... I purchased aisle seats in the 200 level for $49 after fees just because it's still easier than buying from a scalper after a long ride, and I've already seen the show close up in Philly...

Saw them on the rail in Philly. No problem being further away this time. May even upgrade us if it doesn't sell well. Who knows. If not, I'm still good.

mrw80 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Checking the map, there still seems to be sections with no tickets that I can't imagine they are even releasing. The rest of the stadium has a bunch available, and they seem to be adding some more floor seats. As far as I can tell anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it would be much help anyway because really I don't know. From comments I've seen it seems to depend on the venue on how they do things when they close down sections. No one is told before hand from what I can tell. DC made everyone line up in the same line and get their tickets exchanged at a desk. I don't know how KC did it, but if I remember right the second Chicago show had people stationed at the entrance to the sections who had a stack of tickets to exchange.

Free Bird Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Did I miss something or why isn't GNR showing up in these boxscore lists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cremefraiche Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I think probably because the general public still don't fully 'trust' GnR, and if you release numbers that are anything less than a sell out it will open them up to a whole bunch of scrutiny and nitpicky articles. Who knows though sometimes they chuck older dates in the weekly data, from months passed. Probably just something to do with when the promoters choose to release them or whatever, but still pays to keep an eye on billboard every week because you never know when the numbers from a past show may pop up.

IncitingChaos Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 How's Dallas selling? Houston looks like it sold really well, but they don't have a seat map for AT&T. I was wondering if anyone had called and heard anything about sells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlingrl03 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Not sure about Dallas....I think SF is doing well but still no opener named yet. When the heck are they gonna announce it? 3 hours before showtime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case, they should at least release the dates that were sold out. Especially in an medium/average market like Orlando. Them selling out Orlando speaks volumes on how successful this tour has been so far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, and the Tampa areas all had to make the trip to Orlando if they were going to see this tour. Most of the time, when events like this come around, the bands will stop once in Miami, and a second time in either Tampa or Orlando. Miami's football stadium couldn't be used this time due to renovations, and the tour manager probably couldn't work out a date/deal to play at the baseball stadium in Miami.

Free Bird Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) I don't know. Apart from the second shows in the same stadium the tour seems to sell very well. That's at least my impression so far. Even most critical markets seemed packed when the show started. Still there is a lot of negativity about this tour's selling numbers on here. Am I wrong, or what's this all about? Edited August 4, 2016 by Free Bird 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xBrownstonex Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 The 2nd Boston show looked very bad on the seat map, but at the end there were actually lots of people. the lower balconys were packed. so not everything is as bad as people make it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnrcane Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 What have been the most attended shows (Top 5 or 6?) so far? My guess for top 5: 1. East Rutherford Night 1 2. Arlington/Dallas (stadium Capacity much bigger than Foxboro or Chicago) 3. Foxboro Night 1 4. Chicago Night 1 5. Orlando Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnrcane Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 5 minutes ago, Original said: Toronto? Forgot about Toronto. Rogers Center full capacity is 53,506. I don't know how much they lose for concert capacity relative to the football stadiums. Camping World Stadium (Orlando) base capacity is 60,000 and the GNR concert capacity was probably around 47,000, maybe a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Nova Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I think in the end, Live Nation's predictions will prove to be accurate (or close)...that they should sell close to a million tickets...which would be around 90% of available tickets for the tour.

Well, you got to consider the shows in the less relatively popular areas (Nashville, Kansas City, Cincinnati, etc.) and I highly doubt those sold above 40k unless I am mistaken.

I don't think that Soldier Field or Lincoln Financial Field (Chicago and Philly) have enough capacity to fit 60k in for a concert. They both seat under 70k for football. Of the places they've played on this tour, I think only Metlife Stadium (NY) and AT&T Stadium (Arlington) are big enough to get to 60k with an end stage setup.
