Come down to Indy...tickets are going to be dirt cheap if not free by the time show rolls around. 200 level tickets have dropped to $60 already (originally $150)..... I'm going to bet you can get 100 level or may rows 20 and higher on the floor for $50 day of show (probably same for pit tickets). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a direct homage to the Movie Poster for Chinatown. Without a face it would be ridiculous, but you don't have to like it, just explaining why it is the way it is 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folks forget that last year’s concert was to take place at the new SoFi football stadium, which seats 70,000 (ticket sales were pathetic). The rescheduled show at Banc of California Stadium only seats 22,000 (not much bigger than an indoor arena). That’s insane. Is this a Covid related thing or are could they not sell out the 70,000?

I think the deciding factor will be if they drop Hard Skool before Chicago. My main reason, other than price obviously, is that I just didn't wan't to see the same show again for the third time, and for that much money. If they drop another track before then I think that will be my tipping point. Plus I've heard shows at Wrigley are fun AF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a combo of the original show selling slow but probably more due to the fact that the Rams have a game there on Saturday and the Chargers on Sunday.

If they don't, I may just go based on chance of HS and having never been to a show at Wrigley. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure COVID played some kind of role, but tickets for the SoFi Stadium show originally went on sale in February 2020 before the pandemic had taken hold and sales were shockingly bad. The SoFi Stadium concert was a really big deal because it was going to be the very first event to be held at the new $5 billion stadium following it's completion last summer. A month ago there were no mask-wearing mandates or social distancing restrictions, and while baseball stadiums were once again regularly filling close to capacity, there remained a lot of unsold seats for the GN'R. It was very surprising, given that aside from the extremely small Hollywood Pallidum show in 2019, they haven't performed in LA in four years (2017).

I guess the smashing pumpkins were to be half the sales for stadiums and now they’re not the support the tickets really aren’t selling.

Is this a Covid related thing or are could they not sell out the 70,000? covid ticket prices novelty of reunion worn off by now more or less the same songs in the same order for five years no new music (average Joe probably won't get too excited about Absmurf) Axl being very hit and miss for the first ten shows not enough promotion by the band horrible soundmix on NITL selects on YouTube = not the best business card for the band lame opening acts (Wolfgang is great, but he is currently not performing with his band due to covid) They will never sell out 70.000 on their own anymore as long as they operate like they do now. Maybe if they'd co-headline with a band like Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, Metallica or AC/DC, but not on their own. GNR would need one of those bands to really pack a stadium, but those bands don't need GNR to pack one. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, I dig Absurd, but it's just not enough of a carrot to buy a couple of decent tickets. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
