This is an instance where Axl's tardiness will be to our benefit... Scalpers likely aren't aware of Axl's tendency to go on around 11PM-12AM. By 10PM, scalpers will be panicking and fans should be able to name their price... I'm cool scalping. I bargain for anything when there's no receipt. But I'm also a planner, and I like assurances. So scalping and last minute craigslist buys have me a little uneasy for this show. I have never showed up to a sold out show without tickets, I just don't go to many, but I'm sure it's like any other sporting event, huh. The finace and I are flying up to Vegas Friday afternoon, and we're leaving Sunday afternoon. I planned on going to just the first show, but come Saturday night, it sounds like a good idea to hang around the outside of the arena looking for a good deal on tickets..

The entire floor was GA at that show. We got early entry for a meet n greet. When that was over, we were the only people in the theater. Most people went straight up to the rail and had their front row spot. We went up to our seats in the balcony since I no longer have any interest in a GA pit, but we could've stayed front row center on the rail if we wanted. So what I'm saying is, yes I think you have a decent chance of sneaking in there if we get early entry... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might do that for night 2...I'm going to the Pacqiao fight Saturday night but it will probably be over by 10ish....so may go see if I can score a set of tickets afterwards. t FYI....for anyone using this strategy, make sure the scalper is willing to walk up to the entrance with you....or at least be within eyesight distance.....there could be people selling fake tickets/already used tickets outside the venue. If they're not willing to walk up with you (especially if you got them at face value or under - there is nothing illegal about them selling you tickets at face value or under) then that should be a huge red flag and move on to someone willing to walk up to the gates with you.

Fitha_whiskey Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I'm really liking the idea of seeing Tesla Saturday night... Just not sure of my hangover level because I'm seriously gonna need to drink for about 8 hours after this mofo... I'm staying at the Trop, which is just south of MGM. Seems like a lot of people are staying at MGM. I'd really like to get hammered with some huge GnR fans early Saturday morning and talk about what went down... Another reason why Vegas is so great for this! No fuckin curfews or last calls or any fuckin bullshit... No Trickery! ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't be in til 10am on Saturday, but I'm game for meeting up / drinking with whomever is available as soon as I get there. I'd love to hear all about the first show from the people who were there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will definitely be no back n forth travel, I'm sure of that... I'm just saying if he wants to commit to GA, he might have a chance to get in there... We are 3rd row, and that catwalk into the crowd means we will be close! Don't worry, you're gonna get some good Axl viewing... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 Pretty cool that at least a couple of you going ended up with tickets together! That happened to me in 2010 - I bought tickets for the Hamilton show separately from two other friends who were going and low and behold we all ended up together. With the amount of forum members going to these shows, I wonder how many else will end up beside one another just by sheer odds - GA not withstanding of course.

Original Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I think (well duh) that when Slash strikes those 1st chords of Jungle (that's gotta be opener right) we will all literally have the chills. And I'm not kidding. I'm 45, I last saw the real deal in '92, I may tear up. I'm not sure how I'm gonna handle this. I'm serious- this is gonna be......amazing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind that the type of fan you describe may be taping the show for fans around the world who cannot be in attendance. It's fun to go wild at a show but be respectful of your neighbors. You never know what their reason for attending is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
