Ifdworld Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 THIS IS BORING! i want to sell my tickets. Lame tour. It's so sad when your favorite artist tells you with every letter in the alphabet that he no longer has creativity to put out music or do anything remotely interesting. All they have energy to do is play the old hits and the exact same show. From world's most dangerous to world's lamest band. BAH. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick85 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) They downright misled fans into thinking new music was next and that, somehow, this tour would coincide with that. Now it's "finger's crossed". Fuck that. Folks, if you haven't already, don't buy tickets to this boring farce.

Two from the fanclub and two with my citi card for friends. It is going to be a blast. Agreed, i grabbed 4 for Wrigley in the pit. If 5 yrs ago people on this board wouldve known gnr was going to tour for 3 yrs straight there wouldve been absolute pandemonium. Now people are actually mad the band is playing in their city “again”. Ridiculous. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live about 15-20 minutes from Comerica Park, which is about a $15 Uber ride, so my plan for this tour is as follows: Sit around my basement listening to bands that actually release music and having a few drinks up til show time. Then I'm going to check Stubhub and (more than likely) get tickets easily for $50 or less. If/when I score the cheap tickets, I'll grab an Uber and head down. On the off and very unlikely chance that I can't get tickets that cheap, I'll just continue to hang out in my basement which is every bit as cool or more cool than a GNR show 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May do something similar with the Wrigley show since I only live 10 mins away. As of today, as a GNR fan, I'm straight up pissed. This whole thing reeks of "Yeah, we know we said new music was next on the agenda, but while we're figuring that out please pay our rich asses $600 for a show you've seen many times over." No thanks fellas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allwaystired Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I did think that cheap tickets might have sold these stadiums, attracted a few people back that had seen the tour before....but that's not the case. I'm so tired of the "oh, look what others charge, so-and-so charges even more, it's all market-value, they'll charge what people will pay" etc etc. I absolutely wouldn't think this stadium run was so absurd if tickets were really cheap.

GnR Chris Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) I can't believe it's gotten to the point where Axl and Slash are back together and playing music and people are upset because they're touring "too much." I'm not to the point where I won't attend the shows because I love GNR and nothing lasts forever. I wanna go as much as possible to see 'em live. However, yes, I am more discourage now than I have been in a long time in regards to the future of the band. But no joke, we're in the minority. You go to most "fan" groups and see fans don't give a shit about new music. It's disheartening. Some will straight up tell you they don't want new music because it will interfere with the hits they play live.

I think it more has to do with how Team Brazil have allowed things to progress. And let's not forget, I think many of us are still suffering from Fan-PTSD from the Chi Dem era. That we see GNR steadily slipping into the same pit-falls that era suffered from when, now with Slash and Duff back, they have no reason to, is a bitter pill to swallow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, it's a combination too many things that leaves me disappointed with them. I'd love to hear new music, but it's not just about that for me. Axl continuing to never care about properly preparing for shows, together their refusal to really shake up the shows. Add on top of that the ridiculous ticket prices with the cherry on top being lack of new music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, it's rather nothing new. we have been waiting for many years for CHD; the opinion about Axl has always been rather that he "entered the concert on the march", without rehearsals etc. and yet you are with this band.

It is because hardcore fans are bummed that GNR has a hardcore inability to release more then one album in two decades, and hardcore is doing the bare minimum with changes to their show so they can hardcore rake in the cash from the non hardcore fans who don't care.

Naupis Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 They have released 1 album since 1993, and if it was up to Axl CD probably would still be sitting on a shelf somewhere. That anyone in the GNR universe (be it fans, the band, management or whoever) would dare so much as even say a word about those who are frustrated that their favorite band has managed to release only 1 album in 27 years (you read that right......27 years) is beyond comprehension. We are coming up on 30 years now since we've gotten any new original material with Axl/Slash/Duff on it, but some how Axl/TB don't seem to get why there is the hostility there is about the refusal of the band to release music from a line-up that is the only reason they are a financially viable business at this point. This won't be able to continue on forever as Slash will move on at some point after he is done refilling the coffers post divorce. Frankly I pity Axl at this point as the 1991 version of himself would think the 2020 version is the world's biggest loser for what he has allowed himself to become considering what he once stood for. There is a special place in hell reserved for TB and what they have done to this man and his career. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 23 hours ago, yourcrazy said: Yeah it’s a little pricey but anymore they all seem expensive especially the $45 in fees Yeah, it's the damn extra fees that get you. And you don't know how much they are until you check out. I don't like being on the floor so I'm hoping for the lower level. I paid over $250 the last time GNR came to play A T&T stadium, but the new Ranger stadium is smaller. I'm sure the prices will be the same since it's a new stadium and someone has to pay for it! Pre sale is tomorrow. I will check the seats tomorrow and if I can't get what I want, I'll wait until Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Hardcore" hasn't left yet so I assume they are having a good time with the way things are. However one enjoys their GNR and keeps you coming back.
