GNR will lose a lot of money on future deals from promotors (they’re literally giving tickets away to anyone who walks through the door) and more importantly people who are tech savvy (which keeps increasing) will quit buying tickets in advance and just wait until days before the show for the cost to plummet.

Not trying to defend but a Sunday night with COVID numbers going back up probably has something to do with this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Comerica is huge and is like 40K seats but don't recall if thats for baseball or concerts. Even still the stadium is much larger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even still the stadium is much larger Capacity at Deer Crrek is now just shy of 25K, used to hold almost 27K but they added some amentieis, etc. So, my point remains, there are clearly not going to be 25K people at Comerica...and if there are, most of them bought extremely discounted tickets or have been given free tickets. Saying it's a Sunday and covid just doesn't work, that may account for like a 5K drop in attendance at a place like Comerica. There just isn't enough interest in GnR at this time to fill a stadium, it's not hard to understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s an outdoor show at a ballpark on a summer night and IMO even people who take Covid quite seriously are now of the opinion that there is negligible risk when you’re outside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gt72 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I initially thought trying to do stadiums again in the States was a huge mistake by promoters but the first 3 shows of this leg looked relatively full.Ticketmaster map tells a different story so I was somewhat surprised.Tonight looks like it’ll be the first show of the four so far to be played before a half full crowd though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
