Only 4 days away. 

(Still no opener, but who cares.)

seems like a bunch of tickets left. Prices dropped. I called and complained that I paid more than what tickets in my section are currently going for, so they bumped me up to club box. I'll take it.

Where were you sitting?  We got seats in Sec 209A Row 12 for $69.50 (plus BS fees), months ago.  I tried checking for seats now but can't tell if those would be any cheaper.  They have both $69.50 and $49.50 upper level seats now.  Think it's worth complaining?

Also, who did you call?  Wells Fargo Center?  LiveNation?  If I can get a free upgrade to Club Box, I'll take it LOL.

They allowed the move for me because the box had dropped in price to match what I had previously paid for my seats. So I got an upgrade in location, but would've had to pay to move up to more expensive seats. 

I called the Wells Fargo Center. FYI they will take days to get back to you because, as they told me, they have to send a request to the box office. And of course they don't let you talk to anyone in the box office.

Thanks!  I just gave it a shot... I'm not very optimistic - the guy gave me a hard time about it, said the $50 seats are somehow higher up than ours, even though we are in the 3rd-to-last row, upper deck LOL.  Said I would hear back from the ticket office within 3 business days.  Of course I pointed out that the show is this Sunday.  :D  It was worth a shot, anyway!

Request denied already!  At least they were quick about it.  :D  Guess I will just stick with Section 209A...

Bummer man. It's possible your seat prices weren't changed. Also, their ticketing service is horrible. Never thought I'd say this, but I wish they used Ticketmaster.

This will be my 4th time seeing them this tour. Philly, MetLife night 2, apollo, and now philly again. I won't be upset if it's the same set. Fully anticipating that. But they are revisiting all the same markets again now, and I'm really hoping they mix it up a bit.

Saw them last year at the Linc and that's been it for this tour.  It'd be nice to hear My Michelle and Patience this time, since they played Nightrain and Don't Cry then, but that's about the extent of my wish list.

Honestly, as long as they show up, unlike the "noncert" in 2002 (hence my username) I'll be happy.  :slash:

I just called to exchange my tickets for better seats at the same price. She told me I couldn't do it because of the no refunds/exchange policy. I told her to send me a copy of that policy because it was not in my confirmation email or with the tickets that were mailed to my house. After arguing that I never received a copy of the terms and conditions of the transaction, she expedited my request to a supervisor. Never take "No" for an answer.

My 4th too on this tour, as you can see by my signature line ; )

Did you ever get anything back from the supervisor?  Curious how it worked out for you.  Hope you made out better than I did LOL.

I'm curious as well. The ticketing people are from some outside company that the arena contracts with. I have found that they have very little idea what they are talking about. 

 

That aside...

2 days!

Still nada on an opening band?

Also, my tickets say 8:00 PM start time but the Wells Fargo Center website says 7:30.  Given that it's GNR, I'm assuming we should NOT expect them to start that early, right?

"Show usually starts around 7... we go on stage around 9..."  :slash:

They've been punctual this entire tour. I would expect them to be on stage on or close to whatever time they are scheduled.

That's what people had been saying last year, before the Linc, but they were close to an hour late if I recall.

Still better than when I saw them at the Spectrum in '91.  I think they started at almost 11 and played until like 1:30 AM.  SEPTA had stopped running by the time they were done LOL.

Per Wells Fargo Center today:  DJ plays from 6:30- 7:20.  GnR hits stage at 7:30 sharp and play till around 10:30.

 

Personally, I think they come on more like 8pm.

 

Awesome, thanks!  :thumbsup:  A DJ, though?  Oh boy, shades of Mixmaster Mike in '02...
