sword&tulipz Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 So what kind of attendance does G n R get on their concerts these days? Are they sold out? Whats their biggest attendance in recent years (except RIR)?What about the Vegas residency?I have also noticed G n R are doing concerts in countries/ cities they have not been to before. Clearly this must be a marketing strategy by management to raise attendance as people in those new places have not been able to watch the band before and therefore there would be a chance of a big crowd in their concerts, ie Indonesia, India.

ManetsBR Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 As said, it depends a lot on the country and on the type of show.Biggest GNR audience since 2009 was Rock in Rio on 2011 for 100 thousand.But, on GNR-only was Asuncion, Paraguay, on October 2011 as well, for 70 thousand.

axlrod Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 ATTENDANCE BY AXL ROSE( I can give you a definite maybe.)http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/entertainment/music/axl-rose-the-extended-interview-ipad/story-e6freeuu-1226591752718I can say I haven't been late because I was watching a sporting event or something equally as ridiculous. The reasons have all been in one way or another show-related or having to do with those involved with the show in some fashion. It's just my reality and I try and work on it. It's been getting better with our tours, especially over the last three years.In the last three years we've done three Asian runs including Taiwan, Jakarta and a hugely successful record breaking, sold out India run, three European runs including four sold out nights at London's 02 Arena, five shows in Russia, headlined several sold-out festivals such as Reading and Leeds, Rock In Rio, two record breaking, sold out South American tours, an Australian tour (this will be our 2nd), a sold out tour in Central America, a Canadian tour, a sold out US arena tour, a sold out US club tour (that included The Ritz/Webster Hall in NY, The Electric Company in Philadelphia, The Fillmore in Detroit and The Palladium in Los Angeles), New Year's and a sold out month residency at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, Puerto Rico, the Middle East, Neil Young's Bridge School Benefit, NY Fashion week gigs w/Varvatos, The Rose Bar and the Hiro Ballroom and a few one off club and private party shows such as at L'Arc in Paris, The Zep in Tokyo and recently for Tommy Hilfiger at LA's The Soho House.In a concerted effort to make things up to our fans, friends and associates we've gone back to various cities where things have in the past gotten... ahem... "complicated" such as Vancouver, Montreal, Atlanta (twice), Indianapolis, Philadelphia and Dublin and had extremely successful shows without incident.We've been fortunate to be able to play everything from the smallest clubs to giant stadiums and huge outdoor audiences for a total of 185 shows in 48 countries, in 147 cities with approximately over 500 hours of stage time with an average full show time around three plus hours, performed for over 2,000,000 fans with our current lineup of DJ Ashba, Ron Bumblefoot Thal and Richard Fortus on guitars, Tommy Stinson on bass, Frank Ferrer on Drums and Dizzy Reed and Chris Pitman on keyboards, worked with over 200 bands and artists from Motorhead to Black Label Society, shared bills with Elton John, Aerosmith, Rhianna, Queens Of The Stone Age and Metallica with minimal promotion, minimal to zero label support, minimal nonsense and often with serious management challenges.And in our defense addressing the nonsense, the relatively small majority of which percentage wise being in general what we feel are at least somewhat reasonable or justifiable such as technical difficulties, crowd control issues, health or injuries, managerial/agent nonsense or simply beyond our control and often as the case may be more hype than reality which again (and definitely not taken for granted) with all things considered, eventually has seemed to work out fairly well.

Am I wrong?you're right. i'm from brazil and it's not something we should really brag about. it happens in every concert basically from shitty "artists" like justin bieber to black metal bands. we don't really have a standard here, we just accept every foreign artist like gods, specially pop acts and nostalgic bands from the 80s.

dalsh327 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 As long as a band has a solid batch of songs, people will pay to go see it. Most people who go to see GNR don't give a shit if Slash is on stage, they just want to have a fun night out and hear the songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Their toughest draw is North America. Some of the bigger markets like Toronto or New York they can either sell out or get close to it, but others then might only do 6000 tickets or so. Both Hamilton shows I saw (2010 and 2011) had an estimated 6500 tickets sold out of 15 000, whereas Toronto 2010 was confirmed to be sold out (all 15 000 tickets).

James Bond Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Air Canada's site lists concert capacity at 15 000 thus my prediction. Still, my point still stands - bigger markets in North America they can get close to a sell out but the smaller markets? Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themadcaplaughs Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 The show I attended in Atlanta in 2011 at Philips Arena had such poor attendance that they closed off a good portion of the balcony and relocated many people to the seats near the stage.

I'd like to look up some past concerts I've seen but can't find it on their site.You need to catch the numbers on the website while they're still there, after a week they're gone (I believe). I have almost all the numbers since 2009 to 2013, I'm always visiting their website for the info (also Slash's numbers, etc).
