jekylhyde Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) Sure, it's the band's money and they can do whatever they want, but this is lame. It sounds like paying people, paying women, to dig your music and to hang out with you. Like a nerd from a cheesy 80's movie. Lame. EDIT: The more I think about this, the more this whole thing leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Sure, this is how to world works, but it doesn't mean that it should work like that. Or that you have to work like that. Like you don't have a choice. Yes, you can appreciate beautiful women, but this sounds more like objectifying women. "Only the pretty ones, fuck all the ugly hags." I mean, fuck this shit. That's not rock'n'roll. To have some paid women on front row, instead of real fans. So lame.

Drunk_on_Drugs Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 You can understand why they give the models backstage passes (Relax and unwind etc), but why free front row tix? They don't really care about being there, and no one wants to stand behind them flicking their stupid hair about. Like even if it's for a dvd, no casual fan will ever pick it up in a shop and think "Wow, can't wait to watch this for all the models in the front row. Regardless of all the well made pornography floating around on the internet and stuff, I find it far more attractive watching models pretend to like things they don't" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I was driving with my gf to the concert she texted us and said that she got backstage tickets to the GNR show from her modeling agency. She then said she was too lazy to go the the show (she sucks). She said the tix weren't transferrable so she literally threw them out. Fastfoward to me arriving at the concert where I go to scan my pit tickets (hard copy tix) only to find out they were fake and I got robbed. So moral of the story-fuck models who get free tickets and throw them out I am so sorry that happened to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlsend Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) The annoying thing is if as a fan you manage to buy front row tickets they cost an arm and a leg while these airheads get them for nothing, look bored and don't appreciate what they are seeing. It's beyond disrespectful to fans who wait years for a tour and then get bored Barbie dolls in front of them blocking the view.

Someone can simply switch or upgrade their seats throuch Ticketmaster then ell the "old" tix that are null and void. I did it 2x for GNR shows recently, but I didnt sell the bad ones of course. Same goes for buying them in the parking lot, doesnt matter if the tix look real. I never thought about people selling the void tix from upgrades. I purchased mine from Vividseats.com and thought nothing of it as I have used Stunhub many times in the past with no problems. It was my husband who was worried about the possibility that the hard tickets we had were fake. We drove 3 hours and were nervous when out tix were scanned but all was well. I think in the future I will probably do the ticketmaster upgrade instead of buying on a secondary site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Stubhub without a problem for this tour to get a cheap seat, and I've heard that they do stand behind tickets purchased on their site - if someone scams you they apparently will refund and/or give you a replacement ticket at the venue. I'd be leery of buying anywhere else, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this sucks bad because ive gotten into many sold out shows in the past buying random tix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brainless girl On 22/8/2016 at 2:52 PM, DieselDaisy said: It is definitely an Axl/Team Brazil thingy. Slash, Duff (and Adler) are in long term marriages/relationships and would be castrated if caught with these girls. I'm not sure about Frank (he has a daughter) and Dizzy (divorced) so if the aim is a bunga bunga party, the bunga bunga party will be Axl's alone. I´m not sure if it was an Axl thing (only). In my opinion was an Organization thing or a band (as a group) decision. Several articles talked about the "band", and some models (on the article I read here) said that "Axl and the members of the band invited us...". And if you read other news, bring details about the party and said that Slash was there with Axl. In the bus all the members were there (including Duff and Slash) with the models. On 22/8/2016 at 1:40 PM, Slash787 said: No offense, but are you the supplier of these girls or something? why are you getting so offended? Ok good for you that you saw GNR 5 times? Your opinion is that its nothing wrong if these plastic models are getting free tickets with transport and meeting the band. My opinion is that my beautiful friends on here like @Italian girl @dgnr @axlsend @AxlsFavoriteRose @Jane M. @Andy14 @Juliette (sorry if im missing anyone) should be meet the band/get free tickets cause they are so much beautiful and better than those plastic models. Thank you Slash On 22/8/2016 at 4:15 PM, emybdc said: I don't really think it's a big deal either. If they had picked fans to be there in the front row, fans who didn't get picked would feel the band did wrong by them. And don't fool yourselves - not every model that hung out at rock concerts back in the day was there for the music. Some people just like rockstars. I won´t be jelous if they pick someone here (for me it would be a classy move from the band, to invite fans). We (the fans) contribute to the band in several ways. It is a shame that girls just for being hotties obtain a privilege place instead of real fans. On 22/8/2016 at 4:25 PM, DieselDaisy said: If this is for the DVD, it will look terrible on film, the front row, the row usually reserved for your hardcore crazy fans and most picked out by camera crews, instead filled with these semi-bored pouting pluckered manicured creatures looking at facebook on their phones. You usually cannot hide that level of casualness. I don´t think it is for DVD. They invited models in several gig, not only in LA. On 22/8/2016 at 5:32 PM, killuridols said: Models get "free tickets" but the agency is paid by GN'R to select X amount of women, put them in a van and make them show up at the concert. It is part of their job. They cannot refuse, like you cannot refuse a task given by your boss at the office. Most probably they know only one song of this band and they would not pay one single penny from their pockets to see them on their own will. How do you know that? Any Proof...Or is just an assumption?? I think it was just a silly decision, but I don´t think they pay to agencies for women. GNR doesn´t need to pay for the attendance, they are talented and successful (even at their 50s). On 22/8/2016 at 8:11 PM, janrichmond said: Surely this is down to Axl/TB I've never seen this at Slash concerts which were recorded. Slash was at the model´s party (in the bus with a strip pole too). On 23/8/2016 at 10:57 PM, Padme said: Let the fans buy first row and pit tickets. Invite the models for the after show party only. I think this is the issue being discussed. It is not fair that fans can't get first row tickets because those tickets are given to a bunch of models I was thinking the same! Is a good idea.
