GNRfanJen Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Slash said they’d really working on stuff after the festival dates. The Voodoo Festival is Oct 25 which is pretty much when this mini-tour ends. So I don’t think this will conflict with the timeline of their work with the new stuff. Now if they add anything more after this, then yeah that would be irritating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is clearly no ambition from Axl to actually do anything outside of touring. Reside in Vegas and charge the earth for tickets people will still pay to turn up. Kind of like Aerosmith's current residency in Vegas. Have you seen the ticket prices for those shows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When things like this happen, I try to remember the huge runs we've had where I really wanted to see GN'R but they weren't touring. I'm really hoping for a setlist shake up at the very least though. Yeah no matter what happens, I am grateful Axl is back to still touring at a frequent basis, let alone with Slash and Duff! Things are still miles better than they were in 2014, as far as I’m concerned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many albums did we get from those promises? I know that we're supposed to pretend that this is different because Slash is the one now saying it, but don't forget that the same decision maker is still in place. If I were you, I'd prepare myself to be irritated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's going to have been more U.S legs than years that the tour has been running... My guess is because American interest will wain faster. I appreciate your frustrations. If possible, pick a US date and make a holiday out of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Bird Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I can live with it if they tour a week longer than actually announced but they should concentrate on new music as soon as possible. I don't think they'll play anything new on this leg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They reckon after London Jacko was going to do Vegas you can see why. I paid 250 for Elton John at Caesars about 10 years ago lol-I cant remember what the cheapest was, around 100-I decided to splurge. FWIW they are on stubhub for 250 rn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NITL has been upwards of $300 for the best seats/pit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They reckon after London Jacko was going to do Vegas you can see why. The worst seats were around $150 face value (you can't see them anymore, they are all resale). The lower level was something like $250 and up. I definitely see why these acts do it. The promoter saves all kinds of money vs. a tour because they don't have to keep building and tearing down stages. The artists get paid similar to an arena because the revenue is almost as much even with half the capacity. Plus, the artists don't have to travel every other day.

RussTCB Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I have a feeling those two Vegas shows are going to be pricey. I'd guess that tickets close to the stage will have a face value of around $400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6lake sa66ath Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I wonder if this extra number of dates will ensure NITL eclipses UYI for total shows played? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward Nygma Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Wait so...those Mexican dates & American dates are part of NITL? Maybe Guns wants to shift Ed Sheeran from 2nd place in the all time concert grossing list but I doubt it cause he's about 40-50 Million in front with at least another 25-26 shows to go yet.

Also look for radio contests. Waiting until the last minute has worked for me many times. Scalpers get desperate and start dumping tickets at below face value on Stubhub a few days/hours before a show. When it comes to buying concert tickets, waiting it out typically pays off.

Alejandro GNR Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Who said the NITL was over until they had new material? Was it Fortus??? Is this what Axl referred to “whats next”???? Damn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegas residencies can be a really odd thing. Most acts that play Caesars charge roughly $250 for floor / close to stage and about half that for balcony. I could see GN'R asking double what the average act does in that same room. So at a wild guess, I'm gonna say $400 for floor & close to stage, $200 for balcony. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockphantom Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) I am disappointed that Dallas/Fort Worth has once again been omitted from another GNR North American tour. I am speculating there is a clause in the ACL Festival contract that forbids headliners from performing within a 200 mile radius of the festival during the same time frame. Regardless, I will be at the Austin October 11th show with friends. We should have a good time if the weather cooperates. *fingers crossed* Since all of these dates are just more of the predictable Not In This Lifetime variety, I will probably not focus on capturing audio of the Austin gig. After taping 3 GNR shows in 2016, it would be nice to live in the moment, and just enjoy the Austin festival gig with my friends...
