Weird question but does anyone on here have GA Pit tickets for the xcel show? If so, what does it say on the ticket as far as seat name/number? I am going to try to buy one off craigslist tomorrow before the show and want to make sure the tickets are not fake. The only info I am looking for is whether it says "General Admission" "GA PIT" "General Admission PIT" etc and if there is a seat number attached to it. I know there are a lot of scammers out there and want to make sure I am not buying a fake ticket with the wrong wording on the mobile ticket. That seems like something that could be easily edited and wind up with a $40 nosebleed ticket for $300+ . If anyone could let me know it would be extremely appreciated and beers are on me all night. Thanks

do yourself a favor and stay the hell away from buying tickets on craigslist, there are so many scammers out there and so many fake tickets and they know what to do to make their tickets seem legit, I would recommend keep on checking Ticketmaster during the day and the few hours before the concert as very often pits are released if they are sold out

I can't imagine GNR will be back for awhile in the States, demand has been down this leg and they have been touring practically non-stop (minus pandemic) since 2016, wouldn't surprise me if it is 2024-25 or something before they start touring again in the US, 40th anniversary tour? Crazy

Covid protocols perhaps.

Not that you can catch Covid from pyro (although… have they done any testing?) but it’s one less “team” in the mix.

Green day tour had alot of Pyro, I will bet anything it is to keep the costs down

You going tonight?

Yes and it opened about 5 25

Gates supposed to open at 5 and 5:20 still closed, hope it isn't getting canceled 

It is amazing whoever designs the "city themed" t-shirts and lithos on this tour is practically a genius, and whoever designed those Use Your Illusion merch is cluless

There are unfortunately going to be alot of empty seats tonight, have no idea what the band thinks when they look into the crowd and see thousands of empty seats and empty sections, I hope it isn't a buzz kill for them

Has anyone gone to Summerfest this year? Just curious if taking a pic of my card is good enough or do you need to bring the actual card with you for proof?

I went a few weeks ago and I was able to get in with a picture of the card

Also the shirts are up here

https://gnrtourtruck.com/collections/featured/products/2021-city-event-tee-milwaukee

Whoever comes up with the designs for these things earns their paychecks, several Milwaukee references here, Happy Days Fonzie/Jukebox, Harley Davidson, Pabst Beer T- shirt all from Milwaukee

And does anyone know who comes up with the design for these things? Is it the person who draws them up?

I don't think anyone noticed or cared about his vocal issues, as said there were a few spots he seemed to struggle but as said I don't think anyone cared or said anything, just chalked it up to a live concert

Hey guys, been awhile. Anyone have an idea when guns will go on stage for this Milwaukee show? Our tickets say 6pm but that seems kinda early! 

their opening act (Mamoth) has been going on around 6:15esh and GNR has typically been going on around 8:15 however last night they were on early around 7:40  (probably cuz of Wrigley's curfew)  so I would try and be in your seat by 7:30 to be safe, but I am guessing with a late Summerfest curfew they will be on around 8:15

I’m tired and the show was a fucking blast from Slash’s side on the rail.  Definitely the smallest stage I’ve seen them play.  Did anyone buy anything from the Merch Truck?  I passed it in heavy traffic on I-90 about 30 minutes before doors and the driver looked stressed…hope he didn’t get fired!  No way he made it in time.

and yes, I took these pictures while driving but we were only going about 6 miles an hour!

Only this band.  G’nF’n’R !

 

 

 

 

How did you get on the rail if you were still on the I-90 30 minutes before doors? I figure those people who get the rail either get the early entry package or wait at the gate hours before it opens, and I am pretty sure there was no merch truck, they had merch stands outside, but those merch trucks are usually in the parking lot and I am not sure there was any room for that at Wrigley, maybe they told the guy to just drive in traffic to remind people GNR are there tonight to help sales

Doors opened at 4:30 but I grabbed lithos before gates opened and am walking back now. Wanted to grab a bite at Big Star and someone is definitely playing at Wrigley. Not gnr yet obviously. 
 

I was able to hear gnr soundcheck from a mile away. So awesome. 

There is a band playing in the front concourse, not jnside

Damn that means the lithograph is going to be white and not that impressive as well

Technically those pits are $80.50 with the charges unless you get them at the box office and I am sure they are $59

Who’s all attending summerfest? Lawn tickets are no longer available, anyone think pit prices will drop? I’d love to upgrade from lawn to pit!

pit is small at Summerfest, so I would be surprised if prices drop further but who knows, there are going to be alot of empty seats at this concert, Summerfest shows have been selling like garbage and they are not reducing prices hard that would entice people to go like the $29 seats we have been seeing at other GNR concerts, I am assuming this is Summerfest's decision as almost every concert at Summerfest this year is selling like crap, just seems odd they are not willing to cut their losses and sell the tickets at a reduced price and get alot more revenue from ticket sales and all the money people spend on beer and food once they are in Summerfest

I am guessing this is going to be a mega pit based on the seating chart and alot bigger than the football stadium and hockey arena pits, obviously why a city like Chicago is getting them reduced so hard

Don't read this post if you got a pit for $89 

because they are now $59

That Nebraska Litho is one of the ugliest things ever

Actually I remember after the show going to the Merch stands and there were still stacks of them so people weren't buying them and it was pointless for me to buy before the show and and fold it, I do wonder what they did with the extras as there is no way they came close to selling them all and I am confident they never sold them in their website

on a side note I saw Billy Joel in Cincinnati 2 days after the Indy show and I was able to get the set list after the show, so after the show I toss it in the back of my car and it winds up on the Indy litho with the tape from the set list stuck to it, so I had to carefully peel it off and I was able to peel it with minimal damage, but it did damage, a part of the Litho got stuck to the tape and you can see on the back of the set list it says "Cut'N Remove"

Show a pic or it never happened lol

ok only did it for the last 2 shows I went but here it is, Lincoln NE I folded the hell out of as I was wearing Jeans and it does not look bad from afar, more noticeable the closer you look, and Indy the other night obviously noticeable but I am guessing will look better once I put it in a frame

Only if you're club member

ok just joined, and I get a free t-shirt? not sure why I didn't join before

I don't mean to disrespect anyone here but I don't understand the mentality of fans saying "no shows until new music" or "same show as a few years ago, I am staying home" I am assuming GNR are most peoples here's favorite band or one of their favorite band, so why wouldn't you go? is seeing the "same show" once every 3 years that much of a burden? I am guessing most people here never thought they would see Axl and Slash on the same stage again 6 years ago and here they are still going strong, and the shows have been pretty much great each show, and these guys are not exactly young and you never know what the future could bring the way rock stars and people in general seem to drop as you get older, especially considering some of the substance abuse these guys took in their early days, so yea I don't understand how anyone if they are in driving distance and have the funds to go wouldn't go if they consider GNR their favorite band or one of their favorite bands.
