BadApples87 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) They waited until Coachella was done to add an LA show. Marketing ploy to make sure Coachella sold well. I predict there will eventually be a Second LA Show at the home of the Blue Crew Dodgers. They play at dodgers on 8/18 and then San Diego is 8/22. No brainer that there will be a second LA show.

You heard it here first! Seems very likely to happen. Dodger Stadium holds 56,000 and the Los Angeles combined statistical area is 18 million people. Vast majority of people at Coachella weren't even GN'R fans, so the market is barely tapped at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah. Guns N Roses (Izzy still in the band) and Skid Row. Great Show! But logic dictates that they would play two at dodgers stadium. The stage is already set up, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palladium only holds 3,700 so that would be a good one. Blu-ray opportunity. 8/18 - Dodger Stadium 8/19 - Dodger Stadium 8/20 - Palladium (meanwhile the road crew is moving all the stadium stuff to San Diego) 8/22 - San Diego stadium gig Edited April 25, 2016 by GNRfan2008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You heard it here first! You're on to something for sure...there is a hold on the venue for a second night. I have a friend that works for the Dodgers, he told me this information on Friday. I actually told him bs on it at first bc I thought they'd play the Rose Bowl for sure in LA. Whether night 2 happens or not is a different story, but they have a hold on the stadium.

BadApples87 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I'm surprised that Vancouver BC did not get a show. They still rock in the Couve! BC Place can get it done. But, the Seattle show actually isn't selling very well, so GNR management probably wants that one to fill up first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stella Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I do think they might add a second night in LA, that would make sense. It looks as though the Dodgers aren't back until the 22nd. Assuming that it would take at least a day to restore the field for baseball, they could easily do a show on 8/19 or 8/20 and be out of there with plenty of time to spare. l.

Really surprised they went to Foxboro twice..... Same here. The promoter doubling down on Foxboro might bite them in the ass with so many tickets to sell at those prices, but no guts no glory I suppose. GNR gets their $$ even if they sell only one ticket, so the pressure is on the promoters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sports Arena was a bit of a hellhole by the time it closed, too...if they were going to play a venue that size, the Forum probably would have been a better bet. It's just recently been renovated and has close to the same capacity that the Sports Arena did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't make sense to me since a majority of the Coachella tix were sold out last May during the pre-sale prior to any performers being announced. And, then, the remainder of the tix sold out in January once the lineup was announced. So what was there to wait on? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltzy Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Call me a contrarian, but this kinda sucks IMO. There is a tangible difference in the feeling in a air when a band is playing a one night only show vs. playing multiple nights. Certainly when you are talking about stadium shows. I may be wrong, but I think this is gonna result in way more people that don't really care going and as a result, way shittier crowds. I'm still looking forward to the 7/23 Metlife show, but not quite as much as I was yesterday to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps there wasn't enough turnaround time to get GnR loaded out and get Coldplay's stuff loaded in. And that would probably have made it impossible to add a second show, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
