Stlconcerts Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Whats up guys! New to the forums I have been lurking for awhile though! This Little Rock show will be #4 for me on this tour (Kansas City, Chicago night 2, St. Louis which is my hometown) seems like it will be fairly intimate for a stadium show lol! Off topic a bit but by the way KeyserSoze cool profile pic of Aaron (AWOLNATION). I actually have an awolnation tattoo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironmt Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I am sure this will be the bands last stop In Arkansas after seeing how the tickets sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love GNR dearly, but I want an actively creative band. That is correct. Once hardcore fans become indifferent about their favorite group, the band in question should be VERY concerned.

Anything to save a buck I guess. The gear/production that they have on this part of the tour is for outdoor stadiums. They will have a smaller production for arena shows. Although I can't wait to see this stage in this place its going to look massive. And with them moving the stage forward making it even bigger.

It was interesting because Tim McGraw and Faith Hill cancelled last nights show in Little Rock (verizion arena) because she was "feeling ill" I bet she makes tonight's show (8/4) in Nashville. LOL I wonder if ticket sales were bad for that show. Little Rock tough town for ticket sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I wonder if ticket sales were bad for that show. Little Rock tough town for ticket sales. Not necessarily so - at least this past year. SIZIN' UP VERIZON: Pollstar recently released its midyear rankings of arena venues by ticket sales. North Little Rock's Verizon Arena came in 27th in the United States, beating bigger cities like Houston, St. Louis, Orlando and Boston and its 2016 midyear ranking (33rd). With other big shows scheduled, including Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, Janet Jackson, Bruno Mars and Chris Stapleton, such figures are music to the arena's ears. http://www.nwaonline.com/news/2017/jul/23/don-t-fret-quirkiness-abides-here-20170/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once hardcore fans become indifferent about their favorite group, the band in question should be VERY concerned. I agree whole heartily. And, these 3 guys are so ducking talented. There is nobody like Axl. And Slash and Duff, come on. Metallica and U2 are still making incredible music. I have no doubt GNR could do the same. But this tour has become stale and almost lifeless for the two-decade-diehard-fan. My only hope that the tour is a way for them to gel and find some common ground to begin working again. A 26 year absence is a huge obstacle to overcome in writing with all the guys so set in their ways. It feels like Axl just can't do it. I really hope I'm wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guns should have also came up with a mysterious Illness. They certainly won't be making any money on the Little Rock stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have actually done so well on this tour that a few terrible selling markets like the Little Rock stop are not going to affect the promoter to bad either. I am just guessing, but I would think that the band would prefer to take the stage to a full house as opposed to the venue being half empty. Then again, It Is most likely about the money and they may not care either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not certain, but I believe GNR is guaranteed 3 million each show by promoters. Live Nation books the tour and follow market research to determine what cities to play. This show might not be highly profitable, but I believe it will make some cash. The overhead on this tour is huge.

They barely grossed that in a few of the bigger cities last year when the re-union was hot off the press so nobody is giving them that money to play Little Rock on 7 weeks notice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how Live Nation came to the conclusion that Little Rock was a profitable stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironmt Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 (edited) Looks like a few more tickets sold, the floor will be full with sections In the stands completely empty. Not rows, complete sections almost empty. This will be the worst turn out of the entire tour, I would think.

pugachev Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 So, apparently there are plenty of PIT tickets left, they reduced them to $225 a pop which is cheaper than what I paid for floor seats. Does anyone know if its still possible to "upgrade" on the day of the show? I skipped pit because the prices were like $500 when it first went on sale.

Some people had success calling TicketMaster for upgrades during the last US stadium tour. It wouldn't hurt to just call them and see if you get someone friendly enough to take care of you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To add to this, if the TM agent you speak with is unwilling to help you upgrade, just hang up and try again... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
