Underhardy Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 So when it’s the week of each of these shows, how much can we expect General Admission tickets to drop? I’ll go if I can scoop up 2 general admissions for 50-100 bucks each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The left over $250 tickets should be marked down to $150 at first and then will continue to drop if they don't move. I saw a 2nd-3rd row center seat for the San Antonio show drop to $100 a few minutes before the doors opened. Hang out in front of the venue and be ready to buy a ticket on your phone at the absolute last minute for the best deal.

Slither would be cool to hear but I wouldnt be disappointed if it wasnt played. Probably won't happen but I would love too see them play all 5 of those at my show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concert fund isn't quite there yet, so I may have to wait There will be tickets readily available if you wait. It may not be the best seat, but there will be something for you.

center27j Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Only thing that saves this tour is if they announce metallica as co-headliner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRS is the one I'd really like to hear Slash on. I’d love to hear Maddy and Prostitute from CD. In addition to Shadow, Dead Horse and Locomotive. You’re Crazy would be cool as well but I’m not as big of a fan of that track compared to the other 4. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debating whether to road trip down to philly or Boston. Been to Fenway a few times for baseball games. How is stadium in philly ? Citizen's Bank Park is beautiful. Never been there for a concert yet but I can honestly say there isn't a bad seat in the house. I go to 5-10 baseball games there a year. Great food and good beer selection too. Summer is especially beautiful because you get this gorgeous sky at sunset with the city in the background. GnR is really big in Philly too, selling out where the Eagles play in 2016. It should be a great show mate 👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Called that one I still haven't bought anything. Not planning to unless they go super cheap and it's convenient for me to drive to LA and go. 10 hours ago, rockphantom said: I would buy a VIP package if Matt Sorum returned full-time! I believe it's time to play the "Illusion" card and bring Matt, Gilby, and Teddy back into the fold. I am sure Matt, Gilby, and Teddy would be willing to tour for $50,000 per week (rumored salary of the current scabs). That's not bad money, where do I sign up? If the tour flops, maybe Slash will get SMKC back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blame them for demanding a fee that makes promoters set high prices and utilize secondary ticketing. However you can’t blame them that Live Nation wanted do this in stadiums if it doesn’t sell well.

An album wouldn’t cause enough excitement to jump from arenas to stadiums in 2020. It would sell more VIP packages from diehards.

They probably don’t even want to hear it live and would complain about those additions to the setlist If they don’t buy tickets, it’s because they’ve seen it before multiple times and the band has over saturated the market. If this tour fails, they prob aren’t touring again for a few years in US. Album ready or not 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k12 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 there is just no way this tour is going to happen, unless they announce Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham are going to be playing the warm up gig between 6- 6:45, there is just no way they are going to have this tour, the overwhelming majority of tickets are usually sold by the first day of the on sale for most events, these shows look like they barely sold even 15% of the tickets, I do not care what kind of buzz a new GNR album is going to create, I do not think it is enough to make hundreds of thousands of people go out to see them again in a stadium when I am guessing anyone who wanted to see them saw them in the last couple of years, just really poor planning on GNR'S part, I am guessing the next couple of months they are going to announce "scheduling conflict" or some crap and announce the tour is "postponed"or cancelled. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, this will come down to paying out whatever insurance policy they set in place prior to the tour announcement. when they do the math if cancelling is a cost savings over playing to empty stadiums it will he a no brainer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
