    Do you think Axl and Slash have discussed the whole crowd hostage/band name contract situation?

    Great post! :) 

    I've always had respect for artists that keep their prices down. I'm going to see Queen in June and whilst there were premium seats to the side of the General Admission standing area for 100 odd quid, my GA ticket cost £52, considering it cost £39.50 for GA when I saw them in Hyde Park in 2005 I don't think that's too bad. Similarly, Robert Plant has never charged stupid prices, it's always been the £40-£60 mark. The Stones are band whose prices have skyrocketed in a decade. In 2006 the best seats were £125, now the nosebleeds aren't too far off that! David Gilmour as will. I think with some older acts (like The Stones) it's probably partly due to the fact that they're doing less intensive tours now, ie they want the same payout but for fewer gigs. 

    One artist that really surprised me was Joe Bonamassa, he recently announced a UK tour and top price tickets were over £100, I can kind of get it with the 'legendary' acts but whilst I think he's a great guitar player I wouldn't say he's a 'legend' on par with say Gilmour, Fleetwood Mac, The Stones etc. (not yet anyway...) Still if people are willing to pay it why not eh? I decided not to go though.

    Personally, barring festival tickets I've never spent more than £100 to see a band and I'd have issues justifying paying an amount that could easily pay for a new amp/guitar/bass. The most expensive act I've seen was the Stones in Hyde Park in 2013 which was about £100 after fees, but as it was mainly GA and I managed to get up close I thought it was worth it. Plus, Mick Taylor was with them.

    I'm hoping if/when GN'R come to the UK it's £100 and under for the best seats. I imagine most of the shows will be GA floor anyway. Ultimately if no one was willing to pay crazy prices then surely this wouldn't happen! Having said that, weren't a lot of the Stones' 'lucky dip' tickets upgraded to the best section on one of their recent tours for that reason - ie the stupidly priced tickets weren't selling out?

     

    On the ticket price thing, on my country (Uruguay, Southamerica, Third world) i recently bought a ticket to see the stones and it cost me 110 dollars and i am on the grandstand and not even in the fornt one! I know the prices on Argentina were similar and Brazil too. The promoters literally rape us because the passion over here for the bands we love is insane. So, i understand but dont complain too much, when Guns visit southamerica they are gonna leave with the pockets full of money.Everybody does it, since 1492....

    Check the prices on the rolling stones. 1 dollar = 32 uruguayan pesos. And remember, this is not an arena this is a soccer stadium. And in some places the visibility is utter crap

    SOCCER (URUGUAY) - C.A Peñarol New Stadium - Campeon del siglo

    in ANYTHING GOES

    Posted

    Hello everybody.

    I am from Uruguay and a huge fan of Peñarol. 

    Today my club announces the official inauguration of the stadium. A field for 40 K persons; a FIFA Stadium. For a country like uruguay you dont even know how difficult this is to accomplish. 

    I just want to to invite to all of you when visit my country to go to a match in the new field. My team is one of the biggest in southamerica and recently we won a price by the IFFHS that said that we are the Champion of the XX Century (therefore the name of the stadium, Campeon del Siglo) http://www.conmebol.com/en/content/congratulations-penarol

    Here there is our official site when you can find our recently star; Diego Forlan, also a huge fan of Peñarol. http://www.xn--pearol-xwa.org/index_1.html

    And here there are some shots of how the stadium looks today 

     

      and a promotional trailer of the project 

     

    The date of inauguration is march 28 in a match against River Plate of Argentina; a club very bonded with us.

    Hope to see you !!

    Vamo el manya carajo!

    I think you're fine. StubHub, according to a lot of people in this thread, is legit and backed by StubHub. They might not send a confirm email. Your tickets won't be sent until April 1, so start bitching if you don't have them by April 3.

    thanks! ill do that

    Just got 1, sect 13, $250 bracket.

    Think i'm next to you 3rd Wheel.

    Let's get drunk together April 8.

    guys, is it safe stubhub? lower 10 is a good spot? 300 dollars

    Lower 10 doesn't seem too bad a spot. I don't know about stub hub though, just get back in the waiting room on AXS. If they go, $300 for what you have sounds good. Stub is "safe" but i've heard (on here) of tickets being listed which don't exist - which would concern me.

    Cool offer, but who's in the band right now?

    I have a sneaky feeling that it's only Slash and Duff joining the rest of the new Guns lineup, due to their refusal to name anyone else. Of course they could still be trying to get commitments from other original members but I doubt they'd be part of more than a guest appearance.

    If I had to guess it's Axl, Slash, Duff, Richard, Dizzy, Chris, Frank. Maybe another guitarist if they plan on playing Chi-Dem songs.

    You think? Maybe i will yeah. But if i miss my chance...
