TeeJay410 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 It would be hard to expect to sell out ALL 12 when you're playing in the same place for a month. Either way they'll do well.The "same place" in this case is Vegas, a major tourist destination.People coming and going everyday.Even still. Also if they don't sell out the casino will have seat fillers so it won't really make a difference if they do or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It never closes. It never sleeps. It never stops.There's casinos on the strip and off the strip. Each one tries to be bigger and better than the one that came before it. Since gambling is gambling, they try to attract people using all kinds of things. One of those things is entertainment.So now, for instance, if you're planning on going to Vegas this year, you see that GNR is at the Hard Rock. Out of the dozens of choices you have, you go there, and you book it that weekend. You buy a ticket, but more importantly, you're buying 200 or 300 dollar a night rooms, you're buying 20 - 100 dollar a plate food, and you're gambling away a few hundred dollars. And you'll be happy to do it. People already on their Vegas trips might see the advertising and leave their hotel-casino for an evening and gamble at the Hard Rock before the show. Casinos constantly have entertainment and attractions to draw people in.The casino will probably even comp people free tickets after they just spent 3 hours losing 500 bucks at a table. Or even if they're up a few hundred...that way they'll stay long enough for the casino to take it all back.

smokingarthur Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I dont think the shows will sell-out, how can they? This might be the beginning of the end of this GNR incarnation. Obviously this is not a good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k12 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I dont think any of the shows will sell out, maybe some of the Saturday shows might, but I doubt it, for those Wednesday shows I imagine the place will be less then 1/2 filled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downzy Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 According to ticketmaster, the price range for tickets is between $42 to $110. There's no way the average ticket price is $45. Add to the fact the VIP packages ($250), you're looking at much higher average ticket price than $45.My bet is that most of these shows sell out, but not until the last minute, and likely with some discounting here and there. That's how Vegas works. There are over 120k hotel rooms. You have to bet that this concert will be a last minute decision. People will be planning GNR around their trip to Vegas, not planning their trip to Vegas around GNR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dariablue Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 I'm sure there will be tourists who might be casual fans that will go just to go. Those will probably be last minute type people though. I wonder if someone who happens to be in Vegas at that time can still get good seats.
