Really impressive man. Excellent cover. 

I’ve always wanted to meet Slash and grab a quick photo or autograph. The GnR shows are obviously on a much bigger scale and really tough to meet the band, but i figured these smaller shows at clubs might be easier.  I tried years ago at a VR show at the spectrum in philly. No Slash but I did get to meet Matt.  

Anyone have any experience with this?  I don’t want to stick around the venue and wait if there’s no chance of him making an appearance. 

How much is this thing going to cost?!

Where do we find this map?  Sorry, late to the game and trying to catch up on all this stuff. 

Is this intro longer than usual?

Can anyone decipher what they're talking about? Ask is asking Duff if he went "there" and pointing to his shirt I think.

Duff posted earlier that he visited the "Christmas Story" house, which is in Cleveland and is open as a museum. Axl says "fragilé" and mentions buying the (leg) lamp or something.

I’m pretty sure that my nosebleeds (upper level on the left side of the stage) were at least $75 each. I paid about $150 for the pair after fees.

Fair enough. I don't disagree with you in theory. The prices have been disappointing if you're an average guy like you or me. But the reality is that the biggest tours (Stones, waters, etc) are similarly priced. It sucks. 

The prices are nuts. No question. But why did you pay "top dollar" for nosebleeds at the Linc?  There were seats available for $35. 

I went to that show. I also went to the MetLife night 2 for $25 (plus fees) because I got an email with a code since I went to a show before. 

Even this past show at the Wells Fargo Center had uppers in the $50 range. 

I would NEVER pay $250-275 for a ticket to anything. But there are cheaper options out there.

What was it numbered? Did they sell fast and what time did the merch truck open?

Yep. Got 94/300

no clue for the other questions. My buddy picked it up for me while we were stuck 2.5 hours to get in the Lot. 

just got one. Might be my favorite of the whole damn tour.

Not exactly what I meant, but alright. 

What time are people showing up today?

I assume they will have lithos for the NA arena leg?

There was a bball game in Philly last night and a concert there tonight so they probably rented the Jersey arena to rehearse for the day. 

Yeah it was definitely not the WFC. 

Those guys are in for quite a surprise when they drive in for the show. The sports complex is bedlam for an eagles home game.

I hope it's a different security team at this show. Those guys were BRUTAL at the Linc.

BTW looking for two tickets. I know therEs another's thread, but, just in case.

There were plenty of tickets available the other day. Pretty sure that's still the case.

Agreed, they probably have another stage setup already in PA. I think this is the Prudential Center in NJ because of the red seats but I could be wrong. Katy Perry and Enrique Iglesias are playing in this arena before GNR, would they setup all the stuff here just to tear it down tomorrow?

Philly has red seats also, but after watching some of the live stream, its most definitely not philly. Dimensions of the upper level are way different.

Slash's girlfriend just posted a sound check video, oddly it says it's from New Jersey though ?

I just saw that. I guess it could be the WFC, but the seating behind the stage doesn't look like it. 

I also suppose the NJ thing could be an error. Maybe they are staying in Jersey?  Right across the river. Who knows.

Where are they here?  Says NJ. And doesn't look like the Wells Fargo Center in philly.

I kinda love there is no opener.  Also where on the site does it say a DJ?

It doesn't. Based on a response someone got from the venue.

I think they went on at 7:45 last time I saw them.

Maybe there is a reason for it.. Maybe there are going to play a longer show? Switch things up for the Arena tour? Have an intermission? Have two sets? The second playing AFD from front to back? With Izzy and Steven?

All wishful thinking

I mean, I'm with you. Would love to see them mix it up and play a different set. I just am not anticipating it.

Still nada on an opening band?

Also, my tickets say 8:00 PM start time but the Wells Fargo Center website says 7:30.  Given that it's GNR, I'm assuming we should NOT expect them to start that early, right?

"Show usually starts around 7... we go on stage around 9..."   

They've been punctual this entire tour. I would expect them to be on stage on or close to whatever time they are scheduled. 

Pretty lame that we don't get an opener of any note. I'm there to see GNR, but for the cost of tickets, an opener would be nice.

I just called to exchange my tickets for better seats at the same price. She told me I couldn't do it because of the no refunds/exchange policy. I told her to send me a copy of that policy because it was not in my confirmation email or with the tickets that were mailed to my house. After arguing that I never received a copy of the terms and conditions of the transaction, she expedited my request to a supervisor. Never take "No" for an answer. 

I'm curious as well. The ticketing people are from some outside company that the arena contracts with. I have found that they have very little idea what they are talking about. 

That aside...

2 days!

This will be my 4th time seeing them this tour. Philly, MetLife night 2, apollo, and now philly again. I won't be upset if it's the same set. Fully anticipating that. But they are revisiting all the same markets again now, and I'm really hoping they mix it up a bit.

Request denied already!  At least they were quick about it.    Guess I will just stick with Section 209A...

Bummer man. It's possible your seat prices weren't changed. Also, their ticketing service is horrible. Never thought I'd say this, but I wish they used Ticketmaster.
