Just read Trent Reznors article on it. Hard to put all blame on TM. The Cat and Mouse game. Ticketmaster are such greedy bastards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknroll41 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) I love both GNR and the Pumpkins and I’m only an hour away from Boston but I’ve seen both bands within the last couple of years already and I just spent a lot of money on Chili Peppers tickets. idk. Should I go? EDIT: yeah I made up my mind. Gonna pass. I’ll just keep my focus on the chili peppers, for now.

There's no way in hell Smashing Pumpkins are an act that is on the level of GnR deserving of a "co-headlining" label. Guns is headlining, Pumpkins are opening. This also explains the early set time as I bet the Pumpkins get at least an hour and 15 minute set (if not a full hour and a half). Then go somewhere else and see them where they are opening. They suck live, worst band I've ever seen live (twice). I hate to say it, but I actually have to believe Walker on this one. Billy has turned down some festivals/opening gigs with large bands (particularly in the beginning of the last decade) because he thought Smashing Pumpkins were above those kind of shows and should be headliners. I have seen Smashing Pumpkins seven times (will be seeing them at Shaky Knees in May) and every show has been spectacular. Maybe you just don't like the band? As to why I don't travel to see GN'R, I'll ignore the smart ass tone of your questions and respond sincerely. At this point in my fan hood, I will not travel to see GN'R. Even with some new songs on the set (which I am stoked to see), nothing they have done since starting touring in 2016 has warranted my spending money to travel and see them in the hopes Axl might sound slightly raspier on "Better" than he did at a show in Atlanta. That being said, since there are new songs, and the band will play within walking distance of where I live, why the hell not.

Original Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I bet they add a 3rd band. 6-6:45. Then Pumpkins 7-8:15ish. Guns 8:45 or 9 until midnight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point I played the shit out of Siamese Dream and I love Mellon Collie and Drown is one of my ten favorite songs of all time. Its weird I've seen a lot of people on boards like this and/or reddit who thought Pumpkins were great when they saw them. But, everyone i know in real life thought they were god awful.

But, I believe for the Cincy show they added a third band within a week or two of the show and bumped the start time up by half an hour.

ZoSoRose Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) That was easy as fuck. I could get seats in any section in any amount. Prices are "reasonable" so I opted for two tickets. Spent $140 in total after fees. I'm fine with that Edited February 7, 2020 by ZoSoRose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknroll41 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 My dad: “come on, we gotta go!

rockphantom Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 The length of the TM "wait time" when the tickets first go on sale should give us a hint of how strong demand is. I will ping the Arlington show at noon for grins, but I am sure as hell NOT buying anything!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryker Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 My only concern with buying last second is that for Nats park it appears to be only hard tickets. Makes it a bit more complicated for people reselling theirs at a loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Signs Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 My friend really wants the pit for Toronto. I see them as only being available as platinum or "VIP". I told him to wait til about a week beforehand as that's when they'll throw them back into the pool at face value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make no mistake. They’re selling well. The cheaper tickets are likely being withheld until a majority of the more expensive tickets are sold off. Remember, this is Ticket-BASTARD we are talking about! For the record, I am not buying any GNR tickets for the local show until Mid-August. I can take them or leave them at this point... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
