Was considering wearing my "Nobody knows i'm a lesbian" tshirt, but not sure how many in Vegas will get the joke / relevance  

I know some diehards with bladders of steel are getting there at 1pm to queue for front row, but what time are most people thinking to get there? Especially others with GA Floor tickets. What time do the doors open / AiC come on, has it be announced?

Hey @Saltzy- any news on your secret gig? I'm excited for you and hoping it's true! It would be the best story ever.

With a pending Guns N Roses summer tour one would have to think that mr. Cantor's book is going to be selling off the shelves if marketed correctly what do you think Mark

I bought the book recently and it arrived about a week ago and I am obsessed by it. It is SO good!

Although obviously nothing will be beat the GnR scrap book I put together aged 13, with me writing about their individual life stories, how they met, cuttings / photos from magazines etc - man I wish I still had that

Us Americans are crazy, we line up for days to get $200 off a big screen TV and other crazy things on Black Friday.

That actually made me LOL.

Ok - I wasn't expecting people to be doing that. That sounds crazy to me - you'll still get in the area if you get there at a normal time and there are only a certain amount of people let in, so it's not like a big stadium where you're standing at the back of 10,000 people. But I take my non-existent hat off to anyone doing it .

No idea...all you can do is go over to arena and check it out and see for yourself.  It's not like you have any other choice with your flight arriving.  So, it's really out of your control.  I'd say go check it out when you get settled and have fun.

No, I just have regular GA. I originally just had nosebleed seats, but I was able to get a GA yesterday. I won't be getting to Vegas until 1pm. I figure by the time I check in and get to the arena, it will easily be 2-2:30. Think I'll still have a chance at that time?

Dumb blonde question alert - are you saying you're getting to the arena at 1pm in the afternoon to queue for the evening show to get to the front of the pit?!

Yeah its gonna be a great atmosphere amongst the fans, a lot of die hards. Whereabouts in the uk you from? I'm flying from Manchester.

London - but going overnight via Dublin bizarrely as it's a cheaper flight, so have an epic 24 hour journey to get there!

Haha same here! My thinking is wear a GNR shirt and just go for a wander.

Haha awesome - I love that there will just be a load of random GnR fans wandering round on their own in GnR tops

okay its really starting to hit me. i got excited when all this stuff first happened, and then it kind of died down once life caught up with me. but shit man. i feel like I've given so much of my time to this band that i need to fucking be there the first night all this goes down. i wish i could find a way to go

Do it, do it, do it...

I think it was Oldest Goat that said that. I just wondered if Axl maybe didn't like the sharing of original band info, even if Marc is always respectful. Just my interpretation. I think Marc's explanation related to the release of Reckless Road when Axl didn't want anything about the original band being released

I wondered about that myself. But everything in Reckless Road is completely respectful - actually, everything I've ever seen Marc say - it would be a shame if Axl fucked him off because of that. Axl is usually such a reasonable person

I like having Marc here and he's been so generous with his knowledge and thoughts. Can't help but thinking that having him here impairs his chance of getting close to Axl again though. Wonder if we should release him back into the wild so he can find his clan again...

I'm obviously behind the times here, but why / when was Axl cunty to Marc? I've obviously missed that.....

Love this! Coming all the way from the UK on my own and this is my plan exactly!

Honestly fellas, I'm too far down the rabbit hole right now to reveal who it is. Even if you were to guess who it is I wouldn't say so.  At least not right now I can't.  I can't risk him hearing about how I am discussing this on the open forum of the GNR message board and having it all fall to shit if he's not cool with it.

Maybe in a week when this is all over or when he tells me it's OK, but like I said, even the members of the forum he is a part still do not know his identity.

I only got it by telling a few people in the know there what was going on and basically begging them to tell me and under the assurance I wouldn't tell anyone.  Then I did my own research and validated it.  It all checks out.  I am confident this guy is who he says he is, and that if this show happens he's gonna get me in.... or at least actively try to.

My favorite part of our exchange so far was when I asked him why he was doing this for me. 

"Because you asked?

I was on this board for years before I started sharing info about my personal life. There's a few guys who know who I am and have benefited from my connections and generosity.

I do it because I can and it's pretty fuckin cool. It's just how I roll."

 

Fucking awesome.
 

His last note ended with, "I will contact you as soon as I score passes. Hopefully it will be early enough for you to get out there."

Now I guess I just sit back, wait, (and freak the fuck out).

 

 

INSANELY jealous but seriously hope this turns out to be what you think it is - you've gotta to do this on behalf of all of us here!

Hi guys,

I am in the UK and want to be there for the Vegas show on the Friday the 8th. What are my chances on getting hold of a ticket and where? 

Cheers

I'm selling one on eBay if you're interested - feel free to make me an offer...... (am also in the UK  )

http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/272187044758?

Ok guys I've just got off the phone to them.

The prices you see, as someone else said, are without tax and resort fees. It's a bit misleading. Also she confirmed that the deposit has been taken out of my account, even though it shows as £0 paid so far.

Shame. I could've done with that $200

Just now, Nalbi said:

I love the "Total Amount" dropping part, what I don't like is the "Amount Paid" reset to $0.00...

Oh I didn't see that. But nothing has actually been taken off my credit card yet, so that makes sense? Sort of? The total balance for me is definitely still $200 less... it feels too good to be true?

Just now, Nalbi said:

When I looked up at my reservation on Excalibur's website, I had this:

When I logged in to my Mlife account, the button changed to ask me if I wanted to link my reservation to my account for "amazing rewards and benefits"...

Yeah, thanks...

I've just also added the room I paid for separately for an extra two nights (not part of the package) to my Mlife account and the same thing has happened - it's dropped in price.

Well, that's pretty awesome. Can it be real though? For me that's a drop of about $200 in total??

12 minutes ago, Nalbi said:

Ok, something really weird just happened...

I created a Mlife account, just in case.
When I looked up at my room reservation on the Excalibur website, I've been asked if I wanted to link my reservation with my new Mlife account.

When I did so, the balance information displayed on the website has been reset and the total amount of the reservation has dropped from $803.24 to $665.18.

 

WTF?!

I found the link - I tried - exactly the same thing happened for me. What does it meeeeeeeeeeeean?

After being contacted by a few people I've put my spare ticket (Friday 8th April, GA Floor) on eBay if anyone is interested - the listing is here:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/272185512959?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

I've started it at $400 as I paid $800 for two. I've just done it as a quick 3 day listing

He just messaged me, thanks dude. I'm waiting to see if my friend will buy off me or not, and will know either way in the next few hours

Got tix to both vegas nights now!

A week ago I'd resigned myself to not going at all due to expense from UK - shit escalated quickly!!! 

Ditto! There are no words for my excitement right now 

Can someone tell me the deets of the meet up?

I have 1 x GA Floor ticket for Friday 8th to sell - I don't actually collect the tickets (including mine) until Friday 8th from the box office so wouldn't take payment until then, and I would need to give it to you in person that day, but I won't charge an extortionate amount for it. If you're interested, drop me a message.

People are coming from all over the fucking world, man! And paying a grand or more to be in there. And then the adrenaline surge when the lights go out... I think it's gonna be fuckin pushin n shovin all night...

My 16 year old self is counting on a pushing and shoving kind of night. I've waited 23 years for this people! I fullt intend to do all things I didn't get to do in 1992 when I missed them before the originals (version 2) split - I'm going to crowd surf... sit on someone's shoulders... take my top off and flash Axl (ok maybe not that).

Note: my real 36 year old self will probably just stand pleasantly enjoying the show on her own

We're all buddy-buddy here until Axl tosses the mic into the GA pit and we attack each other like rabid dogs trying to grab it.

Or Axl tosses himself into the GA Pit, then I'm going after him. Actually, none of us would probably be alive to tell the tale (sorry Axl). When was the last time Axl crowd surfed?
