Black Sabbath Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 So today I bought a pair of "Lifetime Laminates" for Rob Zombie that'll get me into any Zombie show I go to forever. No backstage access or anything, but I still don't have to worry about buying a ticket or anything for any Zombie show I want to go to.So it got me thinking obviously, if other bands did this, in this question, Gn'R, would you buy such a thing, and how much would you pay?Say it gets you GA for every show with early entry if applicable, and they're limited to like 100 total, worldwide. How much would you pay for a pair of lifetime passes to any Gn'R show?On mobile so I can't do a poll right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patience 4 Axl Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 How much would it suck if he died tomorrow? Can you get a refund?No, no lifetime passes for anything. Hell, I could be the one that dies tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Yeah, I thought about that. I'm sure they would refund the fans if something like that happened, but I'm not worried about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 It's to help for his new movie: http://www.fanbacked.com/c/31-rob-zombie-film/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfierose Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Depends how much usage you would be likely to get from it. If your a fan who will travel and see numerous shows per tour then I can see the point but the thing is with GnR they are not very predictable so it would be a bit of a lottery.

Ricky_Rose Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) So he never sells out his shows to capacity, just in case any of the Lifetime Pass holders decide to show up?It's an interesting idea, but it could go wrong in so many ways.Does it guarantee a minimum number of shows in so many years?Did it have a large terms of agreement section when you bought them?Edit: Damn, a grand for the lifetime pass. I would really have to love the artist and they would have to tour extensively for me to get something like this.

Black Sabbath Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 I've seen Guns 10 times since 2011 and have probably spent close to or over $2000 on just tickets, so a pass like this would have been very nice for someone like myself.

Ricky_Rose Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 If they are transferable, they could be worth a bit.I feel like they wouldn't be, because then you could technically "rent" out your ticket for a profit, but it would be very cool to be able to give it to a friend for a specific date that you couldn't make.

Obviously not for everyone, but worth it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a matter of who you think it's worth the money.I think some Axl fans would definitely pay $1000 to see him forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Zombie has almost toured more than Axl I think in the last 5 years. At least as much as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonah Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 $1000 tops. maybe $1500 for Slash as I see him 3-4 times a year. And would go to farther shows if all I had to pay for was gas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val22 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I don't make long term plans like this.I will continue to see GNR whenever they tour Dallas, as long as I am up to it.I just try to live day by day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl should consider this, but does Zombie tour as much as Axl?I just realized what I bought today was only for ONE pass. The original one they did a couple weeks ago was for a pair. So, not as good of a deal obviously, but it's still worth it to me. I've seen Zombie a number of times and would have seen him a lot more had it not been for money issues, so now I don't have to worry about it anymore at least.That said, I would still easily pay more than $1000 for a Lifetime Gn'R Pass.

Obviously not for everyone, but worth it to me.Really? I don't see anything saying it's two passes...the description even says "One lifetime laminate giving you one spot on Rob Zombie's guest list...". I don't think $1,000 is a bad price, but it'd be even easier to justify if it was for a pair. Anyways, back on topic. Maiden actually briefly had something similar back in 2005 and 2006, though they were given out by the band to people who see tons of shows (i.e. you couldn't buy them), and they were good for the tour - not for a lifetime. I'd definitely be willing to drop a few grand on one of those for Maiden - I'm probably closing in on $10,000 spent on Maiden tickets alone For GN'R I could justify $1,000 or maybe $1,500, but not much more. Let's throw Alice Cooper and Rush in the same category. Alice Cooper under the condition that it's still good for shows where he's the opening act (Since it's something he's doing more frequently nowadays).I don't have a physical lifetime pass for Anthrax, but I'm on the guest list for any show I go to - I don't remember the last time I actually paid for tickets to an Anthrax show, probably 2011 or 2012. Despite the fact that I've seen almost every show The Mighty Mighty Bosstones have played since I first saw them in 2012, I'm not sure if I'd pay for one of these from them - I've never paid more than $25 for a ticket to their gigs, and a handful of the shows have been free. It it was only a couple hundred dollars, I would probably go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I thought this was going to be about getting passes to the next lifetime when the reunion might happen. If you could live in the next life would you come back as a GNR fan so you could listen to "holograms and drones" the new GNR album in 2050. On topic, if I live in LA or something or Vegas where they play a lot I'd get a season ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
