Len Cnut Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 All these people cropping up with tinnitus, I feel bad for bringing it up now! Still, not the worst thing to have, you’re in good company cuz Pete Townshend has tinnitus, along with a pen he once used to send @spunko12345 s mum a Congratulations card. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you know 😁 It was congratulations on my birth actually. An acknowledgment by a legend that it is time to relax because another legend had arrived. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k12 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Do you think a casual fan is going to want to buy a ticket if they hear "all new"? What does that mean, you think a casual fan is like oh maybe they will play Dont Damn Me and Anything Goes this go around, if anything it will be off putting because I am sure they liked the show last time and they are afraid they might cut out the hits for "newer" songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only band who really wrecked my ears live was Motörhead. Each time I saw them my ears would whistle for 2 fucking days afterwards ... Invest in some good ear plugs. Best decision I made. I enjoy concerts more - I can ear things more clearly and my ears never ring when I walk out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooby845 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 10 hours ago, adamsapple said: From the article: "As of Monday afternoon, roughly 60 percent of the $310.75 floor seats remain up for grabs and more than 80 percent of the cheapest tickets – seats on the 500 level priced at $108.50 – are unsold. Also still available are hundreds of VIP package floor seats, priced between $688.80 and $1,056.16, as well as several dozen $500 VIP package seats on the 100 level. There is also plenty of space remaining in the general admission pit, where a ticket to stand in front of the stage runs between $751.94 and $1509.62. Added to the available inventory are dozens of “verified resale” tickets, including several floor seats directly in front of the stage priced at a whopping $4,075.75 each." Wait... 750 and 1500 for a pit? is that a resale or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand FOS tix are offered around 4000 in resale. But that won't trick me into buying regular tickets as they look cheaper in comparism. For this band in their current state, anything above 100 regardless the seats is usury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need a BIG name to either co-headline or open to draw people in. Simple econ, promoters are going to get financially destroyed when they end up playing football stadiums at 1/4 capacity. Any rumors floating around about other bands, or potential theories?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the remaining VIP priced tickets for the PIT, not resale. Also, not sure if it’s the same in other cities but for Toronto they have a ~$20 premium per ticket for the two seats closest to an aisle on each side.

Gordon Comstock Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 11 hours ago, UsedYourIllusion said: 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? 4 of the 5 times I've seen the NITL tour, I was front row. They're definitely not the loudest band I've seen, but it wouldn't hurt to bring earplugs anyway. Worst case scenario, you just keep them in your pocket. 4 hours ago, Stryker said: You’re undoubtedly doing some amount of damage to your ears, but it’s frustrating because I haven’t found plugs that don’t ruin the concert experience. Earpeace makes some good ones. I use them while drumming/jamming with friends (we get pretty loud sometimes lol). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeman5150 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Does anyone know if ticketmaster will let you exchange your tickets for seats of equal value? I got floor seats on the live nation pre sale for philly, but there are better seats available now for the same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done it almost every time I've seen a big stadium show. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I typically listen to Sirius XM so I’m not sure if the local radio stations have been plugging it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma16 Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 In Toronto, on the Gardner Express Way near CNE, there was an electronic billboard that had the GNR show on display. I couldnt catch if it was promoting an all new show or anything special though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldek Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Those prices are insane! You could literally take a round trip from say New York to Lisbon, Portugal, cross the entire Atlantic Ocean, watch the show and go home, for less than 700$. GA in Lisbon is 75$ at current exchange.

I remember back in the day (OK, 2016) when I would've elbowed babies and rolled the hobos out of the way to take a picture of that... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlslash Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 MetLife looks downright empty so far. Good news for me. My plan is to try to snag a cheap ticket on the secondary market closer to the show, and all appears to be on track. Crossing fingers for something on the floor or in the 100s for under $200.
