Even someone as famous as Taylor Swift is going to be all over the media promoting a tour because...that's just what you do. You don't stay famous and popular by being invisible. But this band feels that for certain logistical reasons they just can't ever do any promotion. OK, enjoy your 1/3rd-full bowls, Axl. I've seen commercials and billboards and stuff for this tour. What else could they do? Is a single or interview really going to realistically add thousands of sold tickets per show? I'm not defending them, Axl is lame, but it's pretty clear they just want to ride the gravy train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could they have not had a show on the 17th which is the thirtieth anniversary of the UYI albums being released ? Surely it’s not that hard to remember when you released albums and schedule shows on those dates. Actually, it is quite difficult when you’re booking a tour of this magnitude. I think it’s fair to ding them on any number of issues, but to me that is so incredibly insignificant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I heard that Detroit tickets are already discounted down to 4-packs for $22 each. Jesus. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid around $100 each (two tickets) in 2020. Figures. I hope I get what I paid for. If they play Hardschool, it would almost make it worth it.

ZoSoRose Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) I'm actually more hyped because of the 4 pack. I get to see GNR and take 3 people all for less than what I probably paid last time I saw them for one seat. I already have seen them many times in good seats, I could care less if these are in the back. I'll probably ask for a free upgrade, though I love stadium shows. Saw McCartney in 2011 and the Stones in 2015 at the same venue affordably, too Edited June 22, 2021 by ZoSoRose 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaskingApathy Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 So those Detroit tickets are through a different site; I saw the 4 pack option there. Those seats are way in the back though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naw, I am now in the "they are a boring legacy act and it's whatever" camp. That changes tour to tour . I would be happy at this point if Axl just sounded presentable. They are in the rafters but all seats kind of suck at a baseball stadium, anyways. I've sat in a similar section there before and it was fine. 32 minutes ago, Ixtlan said: However, if the date sales poorly Zoso could always be moved to a lower section at the 30$ price point.

I'd be surprised if most people whp paid from those sections don't get bumped up to much better seats. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Hoping for an acceptable Axl (not counting on it) and some songs I haven't heard yet like Dead Horse, Locomotive, TWAT, Shadow of your Love, Catcher, or whatever else (decent chance). Pretty much have given up on an all new song 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swedish Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 https://www.instagram.com/p/CQcSoQ9BcxF/?utm_medium=copy_link The fact that they are already rehearsing is hopefully a sign that the want to mix things up a bit and/or be sure to sound as good as possible when they get back on the road!

James Bond Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Had the Toronto show not been cancelled I probably would have taken them up on the four pack offer if applicable. Despite my overall disinterest in the tour I'd definitely go for twenty bucks. I'd bring my daughter along and a friend or two. It'd make for a fun night out so I'd even settle for a passable sounding Axl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
