I wonder why they're only on 6 dates and who will open the other dates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subtle Signs Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 SP is a bigger name than I thought they'd get. I expected Dirty Honey or the Struts. Is Marilyn Manson up next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might’ve sold a ticket to me. I wouldn’t have paid to see the Pumpkins alone and was on the fence for this Guns tour. Much more likely to go now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, i mean, it's not like they will sell out because SP, but it's a big name and it should help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunsguy Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 680 news Radio in Toronto i listen to on my way home, its an up to the minute news AM station all talk, every commercial break is the GNR show "the next chapter is about to begin" "all new show" "its going to be epic" I never here these ads on that station. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because on a good day they can draw maybe 10,000 . Most of these GnR shows will have 30-40,000. Why wouldn't they take the payday? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnR Chris Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Smashing Pumpkins are a band I keep wanting to check out and yet EVERY time I miss the show for one reason or another. Billy is from the Chicago area, and a Cubs fan too, so of course there's no Wrigley Field date. DAMN IT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Comstock Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 9 hours ago, Tom-Ass said: Like I said a few days ago. 90% of the people that say they aren't going will end up going. Unless they truly aren't live music fans and really wouldn't have went anyway. I think a lot of people (like myself) will really make up their minds in March, or maybe once the NA tour actually starts. But skipping this tour has nothing to do with "not being a fan of live music". I'm going to see Sebastian Bach play in a small bar next month and it's gonna be a fucking awesome time! But the ticket prices for GNR, coupled with it likely being a worse performance of the same show I've already seen several times, just doesn't feel "worth it". If they were actually playing in my city (which will probably never happen, as our arena has a capacity of about 7,500) then I'd probably buy a "cheap" ticket, go with a group of friends, drink beers all day and have a good time. But factor in travel, hotel, and missing work the next day... it's gonna take a lot more than Dead Horse and You're Crazy for me to go see this tour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
