Subtle Signs Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Just got into the waiting room to see prices. Everything is jacked still but all is availableI think the $79 tickets were always in that location and that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I was thinking tickets already went on sale today. Didn't realize there was another 30 mins to wait due to it being PST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought yellow covered the corners as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carburetta Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Might just go for $79 as an insurance option and may decide to upgrade closer to the time. £55? At least i'd be there.I'll just watch it on the screens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Signs Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Let's assume they have sold 20,000 tickets already. I say the other 20,000 go in 5 minutes or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalbi Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I took a screenshot on the Nightrain presale, here are the differences: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carburetta Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I could luck out with the $79 and be round the corner a bit. Might even attempt to blag it closer.So no difference then? You can't be behind the stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I've been at a number of shows with seats like those yellows and it is always a bit wank. I've been to concerts where I have been told that that ''shadowy outline is Bob Dylan'', and I'm still not completely certain if it was Dylan or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNR 1991 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 $350 is a little too steep for me. Gonna just keep my seat in sec 14 (which is completely unclickable and blurred out on the site, wtf). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rd Wheel Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 So the grey seats on the floor behind GA standing is sold out? Those were the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oachs83 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) So the grey seats on the floor behind GA standing is sold out? Those were the best.Gray is areas are completely sold out. I am on the fence about them having assigned seats behind general admission. It seems kind of wonky to me. So the front half is chaos unorganized standing and the back half is organized standing. Just weird to me. Edited January 23, 2016 by oachs83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderram Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hey guys -- first time poster, but appreciated all of the info you guys posted the past couple days.Just a heads up -- if at first you don't succeed, try and try again! That is how I scored tix via yesterdays presale. Like all of you, I was being told that no tix were available, even if I entered only 1. After about 10 minutes of trying, I got one to pop up (even though I need 2). I opted to not buy the single ticket and keep trying for 2. I kept trying every couple of minutes and, after about an hour and 15 minutes, I scored 2 lower level seats in section 11.I'm only trying today to see if I can get even better seats. If so, I'll sell the others for face value.Good luck to ALL! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Created demand through the presale to increase price for the general sale.You're probably right if that's indeed the case. I still think a couple of things are going on with these Vegas gigs:1) If they plan to charge $250 top tier for stadium shows, then they've likely increased the price because this is two arena shows and they're trying to make the same money with a smaller audience over two nights instead of one (the promoters that is), and of course, it's to test the waters for tour pricing as far as demand goes.2) They figure if people are willing to spend $350+ on scalper tickets, they might as well make that money for themselves. If the demand doesn't turn out to be there then those might drop once the tour hits, but if it sells out anyways then the prices will probably stay. Greedy perhaps, but that's the business, the promoters will milk it to get as much money for themselves after they've paid the band the $3 million per show.Less people will probably buy merch with these ticket prices, but they've already guaranteed an "x" income where any merch sales will just be a bonus.

RussTCB Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I really gotta wonder if the scalpers are gonna be able to move all those tickets they snapped up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6lake sa66ath Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) "Organised standing"?! Wha.. ?Also, it's obvious what they've done, i.e. better prices for different presales up until the final, higher priced, general sale.Nightrain membership looks to pay off then.

3rd Wheel Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I've never been to a GNR concert and never been in GA standing for any rock concert. One question: Will I die? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) I really gotta wonder if the scalpers are gonna be able to move all those tickets they snapped up.No kidding. Fans are clearly hesitant with the face value of $300~ so the scalpers probably bit off more than they can chew.

Kaneda Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 If anyone gets through and gets GA for Friday, I'll pay you $500 for them. That is if you don't want them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They go on sale in 7 mins, you'll more than likely be able to snag GA at those prices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One question: Will I die?For those prices you are going to be standing with Yuppied up moneyed thirtysomething GN'R fans so I do not think you have to worry. In the good old days you would depart smelling of beer and majurana as well as sweat, body odour and urine - none of which would be your own. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
