You've driven up the prices to this level!!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to some shows is great.. but every show means you have nobody and/or nothing else in life = poor thing Yeah. Out of likes, but that. I know I love going to shows and probably would go to some more if I could afford it/would feel comfortable spending that much/wouldn't have an intense dislike of getting ripped off, but going to every single one of them, standing in line every fucking day to be at the front, not batting an eye spending thousands on tickets and travel and being on tour since 3 years. Yeah. That is sad and really no accomplishment when you have more money than god and nothing else going on in your life.

If people wouldn't pay those outrageous ticket prices, GNR would have to do something about it. Every single one paying those prices is responsible for them keeping those prices and even raising them. There is no denying. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I just wasn’t aware that there are fans who have seen every single show of this three year lasting tour. Its just unbelievable.

You've driven up the prices to this level!!! Most of my shows have been festival shows, where tickets where considerably cheaper than at GNR solo shows. I've specifically went to the shows that where cheaper than the regular GNR shows. On average I paid about 60 $ less then what they usually charge for pit tickets. I have not bought 1 single early entry ticket. I've been to less shows, because of the ticket prices. So, I have a clear conscience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using that logic nobody should pump gas,it costs too much here in Upstate New York. A concert ticket is a luxury not a necessity.

I saw 11 NITL shows between Australia,Canada,Vegas etc. I'm no bigger or better fan than anyone just lucky I was able to do it. I can't swing Vegas this time but that's a real first world problem to have. I hope everyone going has a blast. No one. People do care that they can no longer go and see their favourite band because of absolutely extortionate prices though. GNR live seems to be a rich mans game now - that's truly sad. As you say yourself, it doesn't make you any more or less of a fan to be rich......but sadly it does mean you're the only one able to see them live. Not sitting on a fortune and like GNR? Time to step aside, you're not welcome or wanted. Edited June 18, 2019 by allwaystired 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subtle Signs Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) I got into a GnR show for $50 a few years ago. Yeah it wasn't the best seat but for a band that size the tickets won't be less than that. Also most shows (not just GnR) can be attended for below face value if you wait long enough and use stubhub. So yeah pretty much anyone with a little disposable income can go if they come to your city and tickets start at $50.

Ratam Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I think that the responsible about high price is Live Nation, don't think is the band. I can be wrong. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lio Posted June 18, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2019 Here we go with the judging again... I would never pay 1300 for a ticket, I would never in my life even spend even 100 USD on a Playstation or whatever else. I wouldn't spend any money at all on Apple crap. (And don't get me started on Len's Rolex again ) Do people who spend their whole day playing videogames have more of a life than someone traveling the world following one or more bands? Do people who spend days and years on a forum have more of a life? Who cares. Live and let live. It's not my money, not my time, not my life, not my problem. Tako's not driving up the prices, LOL. If they don't sell, no doubt the prices will drop. If they do, apparently enough people are willing and able to cash out that much to watch the band they love and have a great time. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Holographic Universe Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 These tickets will be discounted closer to the shows. Ticket prices consistently fell during the last arena tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allwaystired Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Going to every show is one thing. Not being able to afford to go to even one show because the ticket is so expensive is something else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KURT19 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 More power to anyone that wants to spend money to see a band, whether we think it's a good value or not is irrelevant. To each his own. But... these "presales" are just devious new ways to shakedown a fan base. It's borderline criminal. Exactly how do these three sleep at night? Why don't you just...fuck off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but we're talking about context. The effects of people playing along paying whatever outragous price that is asked for tickets and how you can beat that. Go to shows and still not pay the top dollar they are asking. I know I'm not contributing to those high ticket prices. At least not as much as the people who always get the most expensive ticket in the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
