We love Axl Rose Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 We'll see. Europe/World is not the first time in an economic crisis and I honestly find it hard to believe that the crisis will be so great that it will affect the tour during the summer.

If you're tight in the pocket because of hiked fuel prices as well as the hikes in electricity, food etc. are you going to splurge €100 to see GNR? doubtful. A lot of people in lower paid work simply can't afford luxuries and GNR is an expensive ticket, saddled to expensive travel and accommodation. I still pretty confident the tour will happen though, but sales are probably not going to be record breaking. There's every chance there's a surge in sales closer to the date, but that would involve promotion from the promoter AND the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italian girl Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 If I don't have a job anymore in july, Gnr will be the last of my problems 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cineater Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I'd say it's probably a go. For non festival dates, I'd wait until closer to show day to see if ticket prices drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I'm reading a lot of bands are cancelling their European tours. it's not safe right now and I doubt anything will get any better in the coming months. It sucks for fans, but what can you do? Better safe than sorry. Also the new covid variant is hitting Europe now too. In these suck times, we really need to see our favorite bands so we can forget for a few hours, but I doubt any European tour will happen this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of tours are being announced for the summer. The only shows getting cancelled are for march/April, though some of them should be good to go or are already happening (Spain for example) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my whole point, I don't think the European tour will be in question. Sales and interest in the Gn'R show is another story. It is logical that GNR will again have problems with ticket sales, as Gn'R is offering one and the same show with this lineup from 2016. GNR had a tour in Europe in 2017 and 2018. And when we look at it, things haven’t changed after 4/5 years. The album is still out of sight, and 2 new songs are not a big step forward.

Alexmee239 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I dont see why you would cancel a tour because there's a war in Ukraine, it's not like you're playing there. Also, I live in Europe and restrictions are slowly being lifted. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoMw94 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Looking at the fact the Stones just announced a huge European tour for this summer, I'd say talk of any sweeping cancellations in Europe right now are a bit wide of the mark 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelmi Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 The Stones tour is indeed a good indicator that shows will proceed to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't as if I could pick any category or any seat I wanted at all. I don't get the idea ticket sales are poor. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no interest in releasing a new album as far as the band is concerned imo. They will milk what songs are available, maybe one or two a year, so that they can continue touring and making money. Sales will probably continue to drop but who knows after people not being able to go to concerts for a long while. There may be an increase in sales. I haven't checked anything about that though so can't say. Edited March 23, 2022 by Jw224 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 If most of Europe is not safe due to the war, no where will be. There is zero reason to cancel a tour because of that imo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelmi Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 (edited) I lost my mind and bought another ticket to see them this year. Prague and London!! really excited! Im not expecting much from Axl.. just happy to see them and hear my favourite songs once again. I know Slash will be great and it will make it worth it to me anyway.

I haven't checked anything about that though so can't say. As fa as sales go considering they played Slane in 2017 and almost sold out, they are now playing Marlay park which holds about 40000 less and it's no way near sold out. That's one country, I can't imagine Ireland is the only country with slow sales for GNR. They over milked the reunion and the sales are soft it's exactly what the majority of us said would happen. Best thing GNR could do is try and get another big band to co-headline. Obviously not on the cards for the announced shows. In 2023 it would be a sensible approach. I think the new album is about 3-4yrs too late. GNR are still huge, but they must know by now that their appeal is noway near what it was... look no further than the streams on Hardskool / Absurd. First new songs with Slash and most rock fans are still fairly unaware of both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolling Stones thinks different. And most bands too. Except for some american bands too scared to leave their country, no one really has cancelled so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allwaystired Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I can't see why it wouldn't go ahead. No suggestion it's getting cancelled is there? First time GNR will tour that I'm not going. Don't have the cash/enthusiasm when my bills are rocketing and SO many other bands are touring.......with new shows! Wish I felt differently, but there we go! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you just call us Eastern Europe, you *!"*?@* ****? Seriously we like to call ourselves Central E., although I can't really blame anyone from the West not even being aware of any such thing. We are kinda in the middle (is what I want to believe). My bad - no offence intended. Been to Poland 3 times and will be attending GNR in my 4th visit, very much looking forward to visiting once more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ukraine is the only place in europe where there's a war. No signs showing that it will spread. Most bands are cancelling tours or shows in russia or ukraine. Otherwise I've seen nothing out of the ordinary regarding cancellations. Regarding that some people won't let go of the pointless fearmongering regarding a virus: In Most of europe we've come to grips that we have to live with the virus, a New variant (if you're talking about BA 2, it's still omicron) won't change that. It's not 2020 anymore. Edited March 24, 2022 by Homefuck 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im from Poland. Its exactly that. Gasoline 5,5 PLN to 8 PLN. Higher price of gasoline equals higher price pretty much of everything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
