dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I usually get the seats in the 100 section too, but when I saw the floor seats I had to get them. I'm short too, so I hope no one tall seats in front of me. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of us are just calling the current situation as we see it is all. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw Garth Brooks a few years ago, and that's a guy who knows how to do it. Announced one show in Winnipeg on a Friday night, all tickets regardless of location at 60 bucks. Show sells out instantly? Add another. We had 4 shows from him in 3 days. And guess what? That's how he does most of his shows if not all if I recall correctly. Don't think he's hurting. I was debating Fargo for GNR but 100 for back of the stadium worst seats at this point in the game is just ludicrous in my opinion. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tickets were $20 bucks first come first serve and there was some deal on your first coipel beers and hotdog. That is extreme but they could do $100 flat price anywhere in the venue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elton John and Aerosmith have done similar things when they played here. Elton did 2 nights (in 2011) and every ticket was the same price. Though, our arena only holds about 7500 people so there's not really a bad seat in the place. A ticket for Aerosmith (in 2015) was $200+ though and I'd already seen them twice, so it was an easy 'pass' for me. It'd be cool if GNR adopted that method, but I don't see it happening.

Well I heard these promos early last week before tickets for any of the shows went on sale. I'd like to think it's more than a cock tease. It got me to buy three tickets for the Fenway Park show, so mission accomplished on their end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. 5 years ago. He announces and sells one show at a time. He ended up doing 5 shows in Toronto.

Wagszilla Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Apparently the Toronto date is 2/3 empty Quote "Did Guns N’ Roses misjudge the appetite for tickets to see the band live in Toronto? According to Ticketmaster, roughly two-thirds of the 48,217 tickets... remain unsold nearly one week after pre-sales began and three days after they went on sale to the general public."

adamsapple Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Just checked for Europe tickets (Hamburg) they want 160 euros (= about 175 dollars) for one nosebleed seat on the other end of the football stadium with absolutely horrible acoustics. That plus travelling, commodation, food, drinks and perhaps just one little piece of merch and you end of paying 1000 euros for two people to attend a fucking rock concert. Fuck that shit.

Yeah, I won't go either. On top of everything you mentioned are Axl's current form, that wig and no word on new music or anything really from the "big 3". Just no. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma16 Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 It wasnt that long ago that GA was priced the same as lower bowl.... toronto are usually huge GNR supporters so the fact that its not selling well is very telling. I think the average concert goer is sick of the inflated prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UsedYourIllusion Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Question: Has anyone, since the NITL tour started, seen them front of stage at the Pit? I just bought tickets to the Atlanta, Bobby Dodd Stadium, show in August. I REALLY loved the Charlotte show last year from the floor. I have bad hearing problems and I was wondering if I should bring protection or is it not too bad up front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had hearing issues from GNR, would rather have them turn up the volume actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that media sites are now picking up on this. I'm sure it will become a big story in the next few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
