jack99 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Cool, the ARCO Arena looks pretty big.... Im guessing this is not warmup shows or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-GenerationX Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 ARCO is where the Sacramento Kings play. Its a 20,000 seat arena.They'll never sell that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wando Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 (edited) Cool, the ARCO Arena looks pretty big.... Im guessing this is not warmup shows or?Yep.. I read from HTGTH that it's capacity in NBA-games is 17,317 seats.. And for Reno, "Its flexible 7,000 seat capacity and its location in the liveliest part of the city makes it the place to plan in Reno."D-GenerationX, if they perform in VMA's they have a pretty good chance IMO (: Edited August 21, 2006 by Wando Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outtagetme Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I'm going to say this now- bad move AXL on Sacremento- Dumbass. He shouldn't have empty arenas on this tour. He should have stuck with the club model that he appearded to be starting with- Warfield, Hard Rock, etc. Most cities have 3000 - 5000 seat theaters that would be great venues for him to come in and sell out 2 or 3 days in a row. Last time I checked, Vegas wasn't sold out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-GenerationX Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 To think he is still going to sell out 20,000 areans is probably pie in the sky thinking on his part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patience 4 Axl Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 What kind of plan is this? Have Live Nation and Ticketmaster put up some shows every few days on their sites. THIS is their promotion for the beginning of a US Tour??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammerc Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I don't understand they keep adding dates two by two!!! Doesn't make sense! Sounds like they aren't fully committed to a US tour. If they were confident and totally phyched to do a US TOUR then they would announce it all at once wouldn't that make more sense? I would like to consider myself a die hard but all this constant checking is rubbing me the wrong way. I would like to know if I need to fly somewhere or are they coming closer!!Enough Already!

I do agree tho, it'd be nice to see some promotion.Europe is a completely different market. The last tour fell apart here in the USA. It just seems ridiculous that they can't start promoting this in a proper way. I told people about the Vegas shows and they had no idea it was happening. Who would if they didn't check the forums? I know Sanctuary was having financial difficullties, but is this the way you help escalate the career of one of your main clients? Message boards? Ticket vendors? Not even an updated official website. Garage bands have better promotions on the net. Edited August 21, 2006 by Patience 4 Axl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
