Subtle Signs

It may just be that particular shows from those names aren't selling and those shows in certain markets are on the list. Taylor Swift will never be on this list. I doubt Metallica is either. Granted I'm just a fan and don't know the insides of the business but if these Gn'R shows are selling as bad as people on here say why wouldn't you dump 1,000 tickets for $25 (this $25 promotion is almost always lawn /back of amphitheatre/upper deck seats with few exceptions) and get people in the building who will probably buy merch/beer?

I'd guess both will appear at the final show in LA whenever that is. Or maybe sooner if Live Nation thinks there's money to be squeezed from a tour billed as the AFD 5.

Shouldn't GnR be on this list if the shows are selling as poorly as people say?

Then it'll end up on Groupon and that live nation $25 all in sale that happens every year. Between merch and beer sales everyone still makes money.
