Could tonight be the night of Locomotive? Plssssss

With you on that one. That is one on my bucket list that I'd love to see live. Just getting ready to try and get tickets for the Foo's next year then I'm heading off.

Long time lurker here!!

Been on the fence for so long on whether to go for this one but fuck it. The guys seem on fire, Axl 61 so this is probably my last decent chance, and they kept dangling Perhaps in front of me!! :hahafyou:

 

So here I am! Very very hype! Seriously considering skipping half a day of work to go see Darkness too :drool:

Only thing is .. I hope I read the last few pages 20 min ago. I bought my ticket for face value from AXS and reading some of you lots getting 1/3 face value ..... wish I thought of resale :violin:

Anyway hype train is on! Perhaps it is the General's night tonight! Any one of you going and want to group up do feel free to inbox!

BST hyde park is just about the worst place to watch a concert. Extremely high drink prices, sun shining directly on to the stage in a way that makes it impossible to see the screens clearly (but luckily today is cloudy), very strict 22:30 curfew (so the whole show is before when it is fully dark).. 

GN'R was really bad with their timing in the last two London shows. So people are mad at them. They were never going to sell out a place as big as hyde park. They poured all the money into instagram advertising etc but nothing worked. They created artificial scarcity and tried to drip-feed tickets into the system and that didn't work either. I bought my ticket for £38 but today there will be tickets going all the way down to £10-15 i'm sure. Only reason I'm going is because 1) they say the band is on fire and axl made a huge effort in glastonbury - there is a desire to change and get better and I can only respect that as a long time die hard fan, 2) i live very close to hyde park so it feels like it would be inappropriate for me not to go (as if axl is going to scold me for not coming :D :D)

Golden Circle tickets are also around £110 and below face value right now.

I blame fernando for all this. Worst manager ever. And their background screen animations are far too old-school and cheap looking as well. I can't believe they still let that happen..

I'm pretty sure Slash designs a lot of the graphics himself. 😶

Have a great day everyone attending! I went to see Rolling Stones in Hyde Park last year. I enjoyed the venue and had no problems seeing the band or screens. I recommend a picnic blanket so you can chill before Guns get on stage! Have a blast
