RussTCB Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Just fired up my basement for my weekly spin with friends. Kicked off with this album to remind myself of better days. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRoseCDII Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 The tour is selling poorly, now is the time to unload a lead single that is the name of the tour as well, in correlation with an album. Funny how we all harped for this for the super bowl show. 2020 could have been a really good year for runs, but they had to be a fool, had to do it their way, they had to be a fool and throw it all away. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnrcane Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 It seems from the seat maps like the "all new show" has a stage with 4 small protrusions instead of the one large one. Does this mean the piano will rise from the middle of the pit for NR? Also, going by the images it seems that the pit may be bigger than it was for NITL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allwaystired Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 50 minutes ago, RussTCB said: It's a fact that 4 days of pre-sales and the general on sale so far today is terrible. Anyone saying otherwise isn't using ticketing sites right or just wants to make incorrect statements. It's not the end of the world though. You'd be surprised how many "huge" and / or "sold out" tours suffer this same fate. The tour will happen and it will happen in the stadiums it's been booked for. The seats will end up filled one way or another. While I would never say I'd root against GNR, it does make me happy that the general public appears to feel as indifferent towards them as I do at the moment. My views on the size of these dates, and Ticketmaster's greed are well documented on here, and I imagine this is selling poorly....but how are gauging that it is at the moment?

Yet another statement you're making about the users on this forum without any facts to back it up. Chinese Democracy happens to be my personal favorite GNR album. There are others on here who feel the same way and praise the album for one reason or another. Just look at the thread from yesterday about the DJ from Detroit putting There Was A Time in his Top 3 GNR songs of all time. Many people chimed in to agree with him. Saying that everyone on here is negative is not only false, but also shows that you're choosing to only see the negativity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom-Ass Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 The big issue is the size of the venues.. A Stadium tour is dumb. If these were 20,000 seat Arenas and Amphitheaters they would all be sold out and people wouldn't be calling it a failure.... 5 months before the shows lol 2 minutes ago, Gibsonfender2323 said: Didn't AC/DC and the Stones do a co headling tour like 16 years ago?

Harder coheadline with someone like the Stones now. It would be a 350 ticket face just to get in. Both bands demand a high fee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNRfanJen Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Not that we are in the minds of the band/management, but what do you honestly think they think about these low ticket sales? I mean they’re getting their fat checks cleared regardless, but they had to know this was coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't make any difference to them or the band really. They'll just book the next tour into arenas and charge more like they had to do on the second run through North America a few years back.

The only reason it looks like it's selling poorly is because Ticketmaster has changed the way you buy tickets meaning scalpers n brokers have a more difficult time buying everything up.

rocknroll41 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) FWIW, I really did mean it when I said the other day that I was gonna boycott (like I did in 2017). Found out this morning that the pumpkins would be there and changed my mind. Pumpkins are one of the few bands that could make me do that. AiC would’ve made me cave in too. Can’t think of any others, tho, apart from obvious co-headliners like Foo Fighters, RHCP, etc, but if this was gonna be a co-headlining tour then it would’ve been announced as such right off the bat.

Old_school_gnr_fan Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 3 hours ago, Stlconcerts said: Yeah it goes to that page no problem. But if you click 1 or 2 tickets you get We Were Unable to Process your request. It does the same on all 4 Tickets.com venues. Theres no way that there is not 1 ticket available to one of those shows lol Fenway Park is a smaller venue. For a baseball game, it holds a maximum capacity of just under 38,000. I am fully expecting this show to be sold out, especially with the addition of Smashing Pumpkins as the opener. They're not my cup of tea, but it will bring in some of their fans who will probably stick around for Guns. Also, this North American leg is still five months away. Ever the optimist, I'm keeping an open mind to the possibility of new tunes by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRoseCDII Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) They had to have known that this was not going to sell right? No new music or other headliners?

MicEffecT Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Gotta say some of these comments make me laugh. To say it's not selling well Is totally off base. You're expecting a 90-minute sellout in a stadium. Got news for you. That only happens when brokers buy up all the tickets. And due to changes in Ticketmaster's rules. That doesn't happen anymore. You'll see a lot more of that very soon. If you got tickets be thankful. You got them. If you're gonna bitch. Maybe reflect on whether or not you truly are a GNR fan. Those that know me know me well. And fans like me. It don't matter if I was the only one in the fuckin arena. I'll still be there to rock out with all the true fans. 11 minutes ago, rocknroll41 said: FWIW, I really did mean it when I said the other day that I was gonna boycott (like I did in 2017).

They’ll be in LA when I’m home for break but not sure I really even want to go considering it’ll be the same show I’ve already seen twice and Axl is getting pretty weak vocally. Not the same show. Trust me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
