Ixtlan Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 11 hours ago, GnR Chris said: Yes. Once the local politicians here started guessing Chicago would be full capacity sometime in June, I couldn't wait any longer to repurchase GNR tickets for Wrigley Field. Call me a sucker. I admit I am one. And the concert could certainly still be rescheduled. But I wanted to jump while there was still prime spots available. I probably will regret this, but I ended up getting row 3 behind pit rather than GA pit. I always buy pit tickets for GNR, but I feel like I don't even have the concert stamina right now after a year of not attending. It'll likely be a hot and humid July day, and people will line up for pit around noon for 6 p.m. entry. And the traveling contingent of GNR fans will all probably have VIP early access to the pit too. I just didn't feel like dealing. I am gonna hang out at the bars, get polluted, and then pop in around 7 p.m. before GNR hit the stage. haha I called Wrigley and was informed by multiple staff that as a disabled veteran I could purchase tickets in the ADA section in front of the PIT. I’m waiting to see how it plays out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePreacher Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I can already hear that TV-promo in my head. "The new world IS here and GNR returns with their ALL CLASSIC HITS" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweersa Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I really hope they still play on July 24, 2021 at Comerica Park in Detroit, MI. It's still scheduled on the website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Happy to see that it looks like this tour is finally going ahead. I refunded my tickets to Fenway last year when the pandemic started. I won’t be buying those tickets again, cause the only reason I was going was to see them with The Smashing Pumpkins. But since the Pumpkins have now dropped out of the tour, I don’t really have a reason to go now, so I’ll sit this one out (unless new music really does happen, by some miracle). That being said, I hope everyone else who’s going has a good time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Summerfest show in WI is due an update, and I doubt Toronto happens this summer because of the border, so I’d only feel good about the other shows once those two get announcements (and apparently MN too according to the previously posted article). Things are looking good, but nothing is set in stone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did notice for Wrigley it's right in front of the pit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ixtlan Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Phish announced a tour today. One date was Denver Labor Day weekend. That’s two weeks after GNR play. Since this was just announced today I assume that same venue will be open for GNR as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them at their first stadium show opening for The Who in Grand Rapids Michigan a year or two ago. They were better than The Who. They sounded like early GN'R. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it's purely down to schedule, the payment for these shows is agreed, if the sales are poor that doesn't reflect on GNRs pay, that burden falls on the promoter. Smashing Pumkins aren't really going to move the needle when it comes to filling that stadium, not sure what band would though tbh outside of a huge band like Def leppard or something.
