Georgy Zhukov Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Considering the number of people who go on vacation upstate I am surprised the ticket sales are poor. Maybe people in that area are either tied up in their thanksgiving plans or just not interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mischief02_62 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I am so disapointed. I was so excited about this show. I was bringing a family member that is 12 years old. Gave him his ticket for his birthday. He loves GNR. I feel so bad for him and don't know how I am going to tell him.Anyone know where to get some good tickets (3) to Worcester? Hopefully I can bring him to this show. I had 4th row seats next to DJ for the Albany show. I would like to get something comparable (dreaming). I can't bring him into the pit.

Black Sabbath Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 That's a real shame for the people who were going. I thought about going to this show, but regardless of my diehard-fandom, I didn't want to do the nearly 7 hour drive there and back, all in a day.Hopefully the rest of the tour will be fine, and hopefully anyone planning on this show maybe gets to attend a different one.

Coma16 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Surely GNR should make a statement to the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what we'll be doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
where's izzy? Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I was going to this show. It may very well have been from poor ticket sales. I live 45 minutes from Albany and I hear NOTHING on any of the local rock or classic rock stations promoting it.It woulda been my first GNR show :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arm breaker Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I know what this feels like for those who were planning to go. All I can say is it eventually worked out where I could see them several times, and the wait was well worth it. I just hope that this is something that needed to happen and not the beginning of some untold mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Albany & I was actually surprised by how much radio promotion I heard for this show. Rock & classic rock stations & ESPN radio which was doing ticket giveaways. This was definitely cancelled due to poor ticket sales. I was on ticket master just yesterday & there were still floor seats & lower level seats available.

MAXITO Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Sorry foThe the guys going to the show. Nobody knows the reason but I am sure it is not because of Ron as he was clubbing yestarday (Check his Tweeter) so he is not that sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomc102968 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) I bet it was because of ticket sales, I know sales were bad for this showKind of dumb they booked it right before thanksgiving weekend, Albany is a college town and most of the kids went home for vacationthey played 2006 or 2002 cant remember which same day i got at 430am turkeyday Edited November 22, 2011 by tomc102968 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
