Crackers Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I'm from UK, i want to go to New York. For the trip i need 2 tickets. For 2 tickets i need some of you greedy bastards to stop being so..on the ball. Let us unlucky lot get some tomorrow please.Imagine how it feels to miss out on two shows, four would be deeply saddening. 14,000 places to be sold, enough for us all to enjoy Guns.

tat2d1 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 i agree. even though i can't go, i think those that already have tix should give others a chance. Here lately i've come to see how a majority of the GnR "community" really is. it's sad really. pure greed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what you are saying compounds the fact that if one "of you guys" gets the password, you will spread it like leprocy. You will undermine your own plight. Do you see the dilema?

tat2d1 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 i can see why people feel the need to keep the password a big secret. in their minds they think that it'll cut down on scalping. unfortunately, that won't happen. the people that scalp tickets for a living will get the tickets, that's a fact- and most of the time they have the tickets before anyone else.

You are bidding on tickets that the seller does not have. If the seller does not get the tickets you paid for you are screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowrlder54 Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 They do have the tickets though. Just look at there ebay score, if its like 800... That means they have never lied about having tickets before, and they have sold thousands of tickets. They are still assholes and everything, but one thing can be said, they are not lying, they have tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are still assholes and everything, but one thing can be said, they are not lying, they have tickets.No they don't. Ask them how they get them. They will tell you they buy them at a premium, so they must sell them for more. I was told the ticket cost the seller over $130. Look how there were no tickets for the 12th and 14th until the announcement? When did they have a chance to get those??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzsaw Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 (edited) This is somewhat off topic, but possibly applicable.The Chicago Cubs own their own ticket agency and sell their best seats for a premium through that service. Maybe the scalpers have arrangements set up in advance with the venues. Edited April 21, 2006 by hartjh14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy-robertson Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 surely we could set up some kind of buddy system here where people in the US with the password could get tix for themselves if they're going, and arrange to get one for someone from abroad whos going over for the show? pay by paypal or whatever? i might also be quite nice for the person travelling over to have someone from the NYC area to even take them around the city before the show or whatever, have a few beers and then rock the fuck out to GNR! sorta like and enchange student kinda thing! but with no school, and a GNR concert.... which i think is much better.could the mods maybe arrange some kind of thing like this? always help out a fellow Gunner i say.(I'm not one of the people fortunate enough to have the money to go to the USA, and also i have end of year exams at uni when the shows are, but I'll be going to Download the week after they finish!!!! alright!!!!) rock1 rock1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokingarthur Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I was able to get a total of 21 tickets in the last two days: 2 for the 17th, 6 for the 12th & 13 for the 14th. Unfotunately I bought more than half at above full price, since I was only buying one at a time. One ticket at a time cost me $94.85, but two at a time cost $165.60, and four at a time cost $312.18. Today was easy. I am sure I could have gotten more, but what's the point if I am not making any money anyway? How did you guy's do today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you guy's do today?Im going to the 12th but i have an extra set for the 14th (floor) and one for the 17th (floor). I want to go to all of these shows but i dont know if i can get off of work, so i will probably be looking to help someone out if they need tickets.

smokingarthur Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 To all those "internet tough-guys" badmouthing America, our citizen's, and our economic structure (which is the most successful in the history of mankind by the way) I'd like to speak for my fellow breathren and extend a heartfelt "FUCK YOU".We are running the system well beyond it's limitations. The same ideology that brought us great guilds, will also be our undoing unless we fix the social structure now. Unfortuantely, the stupid and the ignorant are becoming the majority at an alarming rate. In this instance, democracy unravels itself. Social responsibilty is enssential. We are losing this faster and faster every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
