rock4eva Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Considering they've confirmed the Jakarta date, any Australians can pretty much assume that Australian dates will be coming soon. You don't travel to the other side of the world to do a few one-off shows. Congrats to GNR fans in that part of the world.I'm in New Zealand, we require a passport to go to Australia, New Zealand is not part of Australia its a totally different country. If they don't come here we will need to travel to Australia.If they're playing Jakarta, and they're likely to play Australia, chances are they'll play New Zealand. As I said in my post, it makes little economic sense to send your gear, crew and bandmates to the other side of the world without playing as many shows to make up these costs. It's why few bands play those markets. The costs are so high that a large fan base is required. I wouldn't worry too much about having to go to Australia if that is what happens. I'd be shocked if they played Australia and skipped New Zealand.Does anybody know how can I get a backstage pass?Are you an attractive female with good oral skills?Haha good one. No, this will be my first GNR concert as I'm from Jakarta. I don't have enough money to travel all over the world like you guys. So it is once in a lifetime opportunity for me.Honestly, getting backstage is likely a big waste of your time. Most backstages have different zones of clearance, so even if you get to one section you'll likely be bared from the sections where you'd meet band members (particularly Axl). If you're dead set on meeting band members to get autographs and whatnot, your best bet is to wait outside the arena or find out what hotel they're staying at (a few mygnrforum members had success this way in Europe). When GNR played here in Toronto, Canada, youtube clips made it fairly clear what hotel they were staying at. Having ridden in Axl's limo bus back to his hotel, I know they don't take him through a private entrance in the back of the hotel. If you time it right, you should be able to get a pic or autograph by hanging around the front door. Mind you, how important is this to you that you'd waste a lot of hours on a fluke chance?This maybe my only chance to meet the band members and/ Axl since I do not travel the world a lot. But thanks for the advice. I will find out locally which hotel they stay in. But still I NEED those backstage pass.Maybe find out the hotel, meet them there on arrival with drinks & offer to carry their luggage to their rooms. Then you might get a backstage pass if you still want one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno P. Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 They are usually busy rehearsing or taking care of things before a tour, so email teambrazil or ask Fernando or Beta. I know Fernando is an user here. Maybe jarmo? But whatever, they are probably going to sell vip tix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though it's not without precedent, I do find it interesting that it's almost been a month since Indian promoters have advertised GNR performances without any mention of these shows on GNR's official website (especially considering the Jakarta date was announced the other day). I wouldn't blame GNR if they flaked on the Indian dates since the country hasn't been a favourable place for large international acts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do tour there, trust me, it would be amazing, new to music concerts so the crowds are off the hook.
