Hellooo, look, I already got a pretty decent floor ticket just to secure my entrance, yes I still looking for that GA Pit ticket (I can resale the other one), I saw they opened Pit 2 sale two days ago, I did not see they were platinum, I kind of remember they were available individually, I can't be sure, I'm playing my cards to get Pit 1 (I'm a Duff's fan), let me get to my computer at home and take a look ticketmaster (the app doesn't show the option to buy pit) if they sale one I can buy it for you and you can pay me later, if they are Premium we can make it work, we can buy them so I have a Pit Ticket secured and just wait to see if they open Pit 1 and I can get a ticket. (I don't think will be a problem to resale the pit 2 ticket at the same price I paid for it.) Sounds good? 

That sounds AMAZING thank you!! I'm also a Duff fan and would prefer Pit 1, but yes it would be good to secure any Pit ticket first! It might be easier to touch base via email: miff22@hotmail.com. Thanks again so much!

If someone wants to team up to buy those tickets that they only sale if you buy two, feel free to PM me, I'm going to both shows in LA, I already got a decent floor seat for the Forum but I I'd like to get a better one so I could transfer the one I already have. I saw a pair for the Staples but I only need one. 

Hi,

Just wondering if you are still looking at one GA Pit ticket for The Forum on 25 Nov? I am wanting to buy one ticket. Ticketmaster have Platinum tickets at a reduced cost of $575 each for GA Pit, but there is a two ticket minimum. I'm in Australia and I'm having so many problems trying to purchase them with my credit card. After 18 calls and 6 emails to Ticketmaster I've finally been told I can't buy those tickets with a credit card linked to an address outside USA! I can't book flights, accommodation, etc until I can secure a ticket as my primary reason for going to USA is to be in the Pit for this concert!

That sounds great! I'll wait a while to see if they release single tickets, but if not I'll definitely get in contact with you. Thanks!

Currently the pit tickets are part of the ultimate Paradise city VIP package, which is $1995, so I highly doubt they will sell all of those. Same with the front floor sections (which is the Paradise city VIP package, $995). I would be happy with one of those. Since you're flying from another country you may want to buy your ticket sooner. I'll probably wait until the fall and see what the prices are like then. The Nightrain presale has been unhelpful so far.

I have this fantasy of buying marked down GA tickets closer to the two LA shows and the Las Vegas show and going to those three that week. It would be a great way to celebrate the end of the tour.

IN previous concerts the Pit tickets were part of the VIP package, but from what I can see both the VIP packages are currently only offering seating BEHIND the Pit section, at least for the one at The Forum. Yeah, I've been disappointed in the Nightrain presale too. I actually tried to buy floor tickets as part of the pre sale but the site kept having issues with my credit card. I'm quite happy because now I realise better tickets will become available later. Thanks for your help :-)

Keep trying with Ticketmaster. But it's gonna be almost mission impossible to get GA Pit if you don't have either City or AMEX card. Those cards have a presale code

Ticketmaster currently have them available for sale as 'premium tickets' but the problem is it seems they have a two ticket minimum purchase, whereas I only want one ticket. Good to know that i don't need to panic right now as they are not going to sell out in the next few days!

I'm wanting to go to the same show too. From what I understand those GA tickets should go down in price later on, because there's no way they will sell all of the VIP packages. That's what happened with the North American leg last year. I'm planning on waiting until later to get a ticket.

Thanks for the info! I actually saw them in Melbourne, then got Pit tickets for their Perth concert. They hardly sold any of the Pit tickets so I was front row, could go and get a beer, then return to my front row position and had no one either side of me. It was unbelievable. I wasn't sure if that was just because it was in Perth or that was similar for all their concerts. So they don't usually sell out in the Pit section?

If you don't have a City or AMEX card forget about GA Pit from Ticketmaster or Live Nation. Try Stubhub or other scalpers website. The show takes place in late November, buy tickets later

I'd just be very anxious about buying from a non-official site, especially as I'm not based in USA. Why do you advise I shouldn't buy from Ticketmaster or Live Nation? I know with the GA Pit sections they usually only let you pick up the tickets from the venue and that the person needs to provide photo ID and the name on the ID needs to match the name on the credit card who purchased the tickets, so I don't know how they can be resold.

I need some advice re tickets! I am desperate to got GA Pit tickets for their concert at The Forum in November. I am flying all the way from Melbourne, Australia to be there. I am travelling with a friend, but she is not obsessed with GnR so I will be just going to the concert by myself. I've noticed some GA Pit tickets have just been released as "Platinum tickets" ($1000 USD), but when I go to purchase tickets there seems to be a two ticket minimum purchase. My question is, do you guys think they will release a lot more GA Pit tickets (that aren't of the 'platinum' type, so I can just buy one)? Also, I read that someone said at the Vegas show the price of the GA Pit tickets reduced closer to the concert date as they had trouble selling them. I'm wondering the urgency of me buying them right now vs when they officially release the tickets to the public? I desperately don't want to miss out on the GA Pit tickets for The Forum, but I also don't want to have to buy two tickets (although my friend wouldn't be devastated if she had to come!). Any advice would be appreciated from people who have a bit of knowledge about how these tickets sales are structured.
