scooby845 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Okay.. so the final numbers aren't in yet but so far we get the idea... http://www.tonedeaf.com.au/498425/guns-n-roses-sold-350000-tickets-australia-nz.htm Guns are slaying every market, and with this momentum they are gonna kick U2 from No.1!! Anyways still Japan and Singapore and Dubai and Bangkok remain to be updated... -- What I am amazed is - are Guns really being screwed over by the numbers? I mean how can it be first night at Sydney which was sold out only 50k? when Taylor Swift (where the whole GA area was sitting) and ACDC had like 75k... Something's highly inconsistent..

Anyways still Japan and Singapore and Dubai and Bangkok remain to be updated... -- I don't know about kicking U2 from #1. I've never really understood the amazing live draw of U2 (I've never been a huge fan of them) but, using the Miami market as an example, U2 looks like they have sold out a show at Hard Rock Stadium on 6/11/17 but there are TONS of tickets left for the GNR show at Marlins Park on 8/8/17. I know GNR is almost 2 months further out but Hard Rock Stadium probably has around 10k more seats in concert configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look for yourself... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadium_Australia#Concerts When I was looking at numbers and stuff last year it became clear that promoters play the numbers game a lot so they can call their show a sell out. Likely because it is easier to promote an act that sell out shows since people put a lot of weight on that word for some reason. If they offer only 500 tickets in a venue that has 10000 person capacity they can call the show a sellout because they sold all the tickets they offered up for sell. Part of it is genuine- different stage setups mean different numbers of seats are available, but a lot of it is just rearranging how they sell tickets so their numbers look better to people who are impressed by that.

Take a look for yourself... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadium_Australia#Concerts I think NITL tour can not sellout U2 , but it will be second or third the biggest tour ever... But if Guns in next decade realize one or two albums,they can beat U2... Also this is the great success and legacy for GNR as the biggest hardrock band ever... I read that Hirwired tour haven't had such a great selling,and it is not only Metallica tour.There are two huge supportive acts on tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The U2 show is sold out. The GNR show does have tons of tickets left (go look at the seat map on ticketmaster). Maybe the GNR show will end up sold out but it may require price drops and ticket deals. The U2 show (with more available seats) seems to have sold out at the initial pricing. Therefore, U2 will very likely gross more in this market in this example. My comment was related to GNR overtaking U2 in tour revenue and ticket sales, not a dire "nobody is buying tickets because they are assholes and won't let Steven play a few songs and greedily won't bring Izzy back" post.

U2 is sold out in Miami, you cannot buy any tickets directly through the actual ticket vendor (ticketmaster) other than verified resale tickets.

sibidy7 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I don't think U2 or Metallica are going to be having half price sales for any of their tickets like GNR has had to do for a number of shows on this tour. It's full when they start but I think they have really had to offer discounts at a large number of shows to get those people in to buy drinks and merch.
