Jackie Moon Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 $90 for General Admission tickets? Holy hell. And then you'll probably have to show up 8 hours beforehand to be fairly close as it is...thats my plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakestar Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 They will b e lucky to sell 8k10k a show. Most shows will be half full to 3/4 full unless they drop another album.lol. They sold out Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Quebec City, and Halifax in 2006 with NO ALBUM.They sold out London in 2002 with no album even CLOSE.What makes you think, with an actual CD, in January/February (when us frozen Canucks need some entertainment) that there's going to be that much of an issue?Keep in mind the capacity shown is for hockey games, not end stage concerts.Rock still sells in Canada; GNR went triple platinum here, and it's absolutely awesome that the band is doing a Canadian tour. I'm guessing they sell out half the shows and at least do well the other half. I still know people who rave about the London show in '02 and Winnipeg in '06.Yeah, the London show in '02 was amazing. Still remembering standing front row singing along to what was then known as "The Blues" when Axl looked down, saw me singing and gave me a nod (I was the only one there who knew the song at the time).Dude, if you think GNR has a tough time selling 8k in Canada, you're obviously not from Canada. There wasn't a single show that wasn't either sold out or close to it. Everything but Ontario sold out, and I was at the Toronto and Ottawa shows in 06, they were as close to sellouts as you could get (maybe a few hundred seats in arenas that hold close to 20k). In Canada, Chinese Democracy actually went #1 on the charts and went gold the first week of release. Perhaps there's a reason why Canada is getting such a tour. Cheers,AndrewWhen they came here (to London, ON), we did the back to back thing. Went to the TO show the night before and then drove back here for the London show the next night.Absolutely no comparison. Not just the horid acoustics in Toronto, but the lack of energy. Toronto get pretty much all the main shows, it's like they just take them for granted, and will go to whomever happens to be in town.London rocks for concerts. We just saw an amazing KISS show a few weeks back. Everyseat is literally a winner here. We were front row, but they are all good.Not a big fan of the General Admission seat idea though. They always seems to sell the same number of seats (as if they had regular rows of chairs on the floor), so that when everyone gets jammed into the front of the floor for GA, the floor looks half empty.I'll be buying my tickets on Friday. Sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ace Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Yeah, the London show in '02 was amazing. Still remembering standing front row singing along to what was then known as "The Blues" when Axl looked down, saw me singing and gave me a nod (I was the only one there who knew the song at the time).Cheers,AndrewNo you were not. I was right behind you. ACENo way dude, I have that memory ingrained in my head. You never forget when your childhood hero acknowledges you, it was awesome. And I've got to ask, why were you looking at me rather than the show? Cheers,AndrewI just meant you were not the only one at the show singing along to "The Blues". I was too.

Val22 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 wow! I just checked ticketmaster and low and behold there are the dates for some Canadian cities.I also clicked on the DEMAND IT sign for GNR to come to Dallas. The page said 18 people have requested GNR to come and play Dallas. lol I guess it's a start.Like so many of us have said before, selling the tickets and schedule the shows is one thing, Axl showing up and performing is another. I really hpe this tour happens, because then maybe GNR will decide to play some major US cities. I think it's about time we got something for our loyalty.How about it Axl? Think you can actually start and finish a US tour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
