Guns ' N ' Fucking Roses tonight!!!!!!!! You guys are more diehard than me that are inside already. I'm getting set to leave my house now and jump on I-81. Only about 20-25 min drive for me so should be on-site around 7:30. That should still be an hour before the Bachman. Got a reserved ROW A isle seats in the first side section. Try not to get killed on the rail!

Cheers dudes!!!!!!!! Let's hope GNR kicks our asses tonight!

For those who missed my post in the other thread there are some good links with information for the arena and area.

Anyone have any Idea how good or bad these seats are, Section c117 Row R seats 1-4. Section c117 looks decent and I was just wondering how the seats ran. Is seat 1-4 closer to the stage or further away. Thanks alot for looking and for any Information on the section and seats.

They are excellent seats. The "C" represents "club seating" so they seats are a bit roomier and padded. Also that section has it's own restrooms and a concession stand facing inwards towards the seats . If you look at my post in another section there is a pretty detailed seating chart link. Also the above poster is correct, there really is no bad seat in the arena, it is a perfect size for concerts.

ok, so i was checking out stub hub and they showed less than

1,000 tickets left for each show...

also, how can stubhub already have tickets to shows that have

not been officially opened for purchase or pressale?

they also appear to show apparent stage set up arrangement for shows?

People who have season tickets for teams at those areas are usually offered some type of guarantee to purchase seats for other events. These could be season ticket holders of an NBA, NHL, AHL, team etc. that know they have the option to purchase the seats when they go on sale.

I don't see Gene or Paul promoting anything when they tour. They have their Kiss army members and other fans who check their sites and pay attention when a tour is announced.

Are you kidding???? There are no bigger promotion whores on the planet than Gene and Paul. When Sonic Boom came out it

was heavily promoted. They even had their exclusive sales at Wal Mart with promos in the stores and advertisements for it.

They also had many TV spots for their concerts everytime they played my area as well as raidio. Heck, Paul even made an

appearance on that Lopez dude's talk show and played with their band. They even promoted that Kiss Kruise they recently

did. Nobody promotes more than those guys!

If you look at Live Nation's website, they actually show the seats that are available through their site...And the results aren't looking pretty. The dates they show seem to be only half full at this point, with scores of tickets still available for most, if not, all the shows.

Where do you find that info on the Live Nation's website?

Wilkes-Barre for me. Anyone know who the opener will be yet ? Baz is a good guess but he is playing

in the area a few days before the GNR show. Buckcherry would have been great but they have

a gig elsewhere on the same day.

Hey guys, new to the Forum so a big hello to all. I live nearby and already have my tix for the show. My recommendation for a pre-show party would be to head over to the Mohegan Sun Casino (about 5-10 minutes from arena). There are many bars and places to eat at the casino, as well as the slots and table games. The casino is open 24/7 with massive parking and it won't matter when the show ends, they will still be open.

Here is a neat little fact about the Casino/Racetrack as well. Guns n Roses played what I beleive was their only show in the immediate area as the opening act for Aerosmith touring for AFD with the stage setup in the center of the racetrack. Great show BTW.
