There is no cut off as far as I know. I was at that show and was able to get tickets from the box office during the opener. Probably cheaper there as well as I assume there are less fees. The venue is terrible for sightlines and the sound wasn't the best either. I went as a "tourist" from Western New York and spent the day before the show in the park but I wouldn't go back anytime soon. 

Yeah, it's an older stadium in rural PA. It is what it is. Only ~2 hours from where I live so well worth the trip for me. I'm definitely not going to East Rutherford lol

It was six for me each way. I wanted to see the first show of tour because I hadn't before. Well I was at Hammerstein but I can't remember if that was first or not. For two hours, you wouldn't have to get a hotel and you should be able to get in very cheaply through the box office or StubHub so hopefully it's a good show for you guys.

Does anyone have a drinking establishment they plan to go to beforehand or is there a tailgate or something? I know Duke’s had something for GNR fans beforehand back in 2017.

I can't recall if it was you or another member I want to thank for providing your experience from Hershey park.

Good spot if you like those micro brews. I’ll be throwing them back in the parking lot. See everyone tomorrow! 

[GoodOlJohnnyK]

I thought about pulling the trigger, but my Commanders have a preseason game tomorrow night.

Anyone interested in grabbing me a litho at the show? I could meet you after the show and pay you or you could send it to me (Maryland) and I’ll pay for yours as well? I’m coming, but won’t arrive until 7ish, so I highly doubt they will be available at that time

I've dismissed Perhaps coming out, and thought I was right.... But, just maybe any chance it gets played tonight, then released on Spotify after the show?

GA tickets for the back, not the pit. Mind you those tickets were only 39 or 49 to begin with. I stood back there for the who years ago and it's not a bad view if you get on the rail but you are pretty far from the stage.

What have the sales been like for this one?

Pretty good

I guess people aren't boycotting because a song that wasn't announced didn't get released? Weird.

People at the gigs don't even know old album tracks, let alone new songs. 

It's where a lot rock music is how- the brand is bigger than the band. 

I find it so weird seeing that pit/seating/rear standing layout of the floor. That would never happen in the UK.

Rise and shine!!!!!!! Show day!

That's how a lot of people want to enjoy their favorite bands. In a comfortable, seated setting, occasionally standing, much more like a theatrical experience. There are others who like to jump and dance around, etc. That's why there's a pit. I wouldn't go so far as to call the people that prefer the calmer setting as "shit".  It's what they like, and thus they get those seats. Myself, I prefer to sit and stand occasionally, maybe a little dancing, some singing along, so I'm somewhere between but mostly the sit down type at concerts, it's how I like to enjoy such performances.

I guess it's all supply and demand.....and people want to sit! I might see the beauty of it in a few years time too!

Thank you! The euphoria I feel that he’s gone is equal to the simultaneous release of 4 Chinese Democracy sequel albums. Never thought it would happen.

I can never see the likes of Guns having a seated floor audience for a uk gig, money talks and in small arenas compared to the US, standing...you get more people in , you'd sit down if you're 93 to watch elton or some coffin dodger, not a rock band

That's what seats around the edge of arenas are for, those who don't want to stand all day
