  1. Check it out. I put on EVERYTHING I could think of- including a killer Slash jam with B.B. King, Hollywood Rose and Axl singing "Come Together" with Springsteen at RRHOF. Spotify doesn't have the second Snakepit Record, Pawnshop Guitars or Matt Sorum's album on there yet for some reason. 

    I really enjoy putting this on shuffle, so I figured I would share with my fellow GNR'ers.

    Do any of you people not feel sickened by GN'R expecting these prices from their fans? Surely if they reduced their tickets to a more moderate $40 sum they would sell out the rest of these dates easily, and be congratulated by their fanbase for their public spiritness - it would be a win win scenario. Was GN'R formed to fleece fans like this? Was this all it was ever about for this group of people? Lapsed fan now (I'm afraid to say).

    GNR did not reunite in their 50's to play stadiums at insane prices because they want to make great new art or rekindle old friendships. 

    In other breaking news, there is no Santa Claus and Bruce Willis is a ghost in "The Sixth Sense"

    Coldplay is a light rock radio band with a new album released. Soccer moms and parents with their kids fill their affordable seats. Guns are a classic hard rock band with decades of controversy attached to them, no radio hits in 20+ years and very expensive tickets. The reunion excitement only goes so far when the average fan can't get in unless they sit miles away in the nosebleeds. They're two totally different situations. 

    Truth

    And haters....What is now?

    There were a lot of stories about bad ticket selling,and first show was near soldout...

    GUNS FUCKIN ROCKS

    The cities where they booked a second night are still struggling with ticket sales.  Cities where they are only playing one night, like Detroit, did much better because supply met demand.

    You can't convince me that Izzy is going to move thousands of tickets.

    Yea...I love Izzy too, but stadium shows do not live or die based upon the inclusion of Izzy (or Steven). The vast majority of people just want Axl and Slash. Tickets have stopped selling because: 

    1. The prices are absolutely insane. 

    2. The promoters over saturated the market by booking two nights guys in stadiums. 

    3. People are afraid of Axl pulling his old antics.

    They just released a lot of Floor seats up for FedEx Field. Just scored a Pit on Slash's side. Thanks to the person who said to wait until a few days away from the show to score great seats.

    That's awesome! I'm glad it worked out. We can expect a lot more of these tickets being released this week so stay tuned everyone!

    I haven't looked in a while, which venues are in trouble as far as no one will be there?  All the night 2's?  PHX, DET, DAL, KC and PIT?

    Yes- booking second nights at these stadiums was overreaching by the promoters. Los Angeles has TONS of seats left for night two. 

  8. Tickets are just way too expensive for an untested "legacy" band playing such big venues in a volatile live market.  Arenas were the way to go, with prices more in the $50-$200 range. That would have ensured sell outs and maintained a good buzz. But nope....we're getting stadiums with 3/5 of the band while paying hundreds (and for some suckers THOUSANDS) for the pleasure. 

    I still expect to see deep discounted tickets any minute now in an attempt for promoters to try and fill these seats.

  9. Folks....if Steven is performing this week with his own band and is obviously feeling well enough to sit up straight and play the drums..... Then I think you would have seen him this last weekend at Coachella. 

    Maybe it's time to accept that Guns n' Roses 2016 does not and will not include neither Izzy or Steven in any capacity. This is still better than any of us could have expected for more than 20 years. 

    Izzy has his reasons as he always does, and Steven is just too much of a liability. 

    It is what it is, and it's not so bad.

    Toronto was one of the hottest tickets on the entire tour.

    Really surprised they went to Foxboro twice.....

    Same here. The promoter doubling down on Foxboro might bite them in the ass with so many tickets to sell at those prices, but no guts no glory I suppose. GNR gets their $$ even if they sell only one ticket, so the pressure is on the promoters.
