TheWildheart Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Easy now, folks.Not EVERYONE can afford to pay $150 for a concert ticket. I know that I wouldn't be able to. If the dude can't/doesn't want to pay $150 for a ticket, its obviously his perogative. And he has a right to bitch about it as well.I agree that $150 is a bit much, and its one of the reasons why I'd be skipping the Aerosmith/Motley Crue tour if it came to my area. Hopefully its just the Vegas shows that are higher than usual, and when they hit the east coast, tickets are somewhat more reasonable.-Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axls_Disillusion Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Speaking of bitching... I live in Vegas and will not be attending the show. $150 for any act is fucking ridiculous. I will not be paying $150 to see Mr. Axl and his cover band. I wouldn't pay $150 to see anyone, this is bullshit.Fuck you whoever is setting up this show. Fuck every concert promoter who comes to Vegas, our shows are always 3-5 times more then the average concert. Fuck everyone I am so pissed. I would have paid $80 bucks but $150? FUCK THAT SHIT. I was just finally starting to "Feel" this band, now they can go fuck themselves and I will be downloading the CD and not buying it. I was going to buy it, but I do not succumb to rape.Thanks Axl, Hard Rock, Merk and whoever else had a part in ruining my fucking day.shut the fuck up.. what kind of fan are you?

Longpig Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Shit $150 that's about £85 right?!! Hmmm... it's a lot, but if the venue was pretty small I'd lob a couple of tickets on the visa!! But I'll definitely have no beef with someone who thinks it's a bit much!!Just depends how much you wanna see them I guess, or if you can afford it!LP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have no right to question anyone's loyalty. $150.00 IS a shitload of money to see a band that's not even promoting a new album yet and playing songs that people have been hearing for the past 20 years. People paid less than half that amount to see them in New York, so I agree, I think the price for these tix are ridiculous. Maybe on New Years Eve, but for a Saturday or Sunday night in September? The band agreed to play a smaller venue, but they still want to get the same amount of money for doing the show, so they pass the cost onto the fans to make up the difference. They should consider bigger venues, but I'm sure Axl's worried that many of them will be half empty again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, it's not a big deal for me either, I can more than afford it, but the fact remains that obviously some people can't, and they shouldn't be judged as lesser fans because Axl and/or his representatives are trying to recoup the same amount of money, as if he was playing a larger venue, by charging fewer fans double to play a smaller one. If it's "all about the music" like I've been hearing for years, the price of the tix should be more reasonable, like they were for the Hammerstein, so everyone can have the opportunity to go.

Those who want to go bad enough, will go. i mean if you look at what someone is going to spend in travel - i spent like 1000 bucks to see one show in NY. This one isn't giong to cost me nearly as much because vegas is less than a half days drive away.. so I could care less how much they charge for tickets.. if someone is a big enough fan, they wil be there whether its 10 dollars or 1000 dollars.the point being, if someone is going to pay a bunch in travel expenses (and vegas costs regardless, that city is built to take your money), the price of the ticket is a very small detail.and the best part is.. with vegas, you may end up going home with all the money you took, and then some B) Edited August 16, 2006 by Axls_Disillusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axls_Disillusion Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I'm really glad to hear that $150 bucks is shit to A_D. Unfortunately, some of us Axl fans are poor as shit. There's also gas or overpriced air fare, hotel, whiskey / drugs, food, and I'd need to keep an extra $20 (or $50, probably) for a Pit(t)man T-shirt.I'll still pay it because I really want to see the new band play, and I had to miss the NYC shows even though I'd already bought tickets. But it really is a lot of money. Especially considering how there's no album, no single, they'll just be playing the same songs I've heard for twenty years, and still pretty good odds that Axl's gonna leave halfway though. It sucks to be a GandR fan sometimes. Oh well. I don't really have a choice. Vegas here I come. I'm going to wear a shirt that says "GIVE PIT(T)MAN A SOLO!"i'm by no means a wealthy guy, but 150 bucks to see my favorite band doens't bug me at all. i was prolly a lil harsh with the stfu comments tho. just the bitching is annoying.if you are spending all that money to get there, whats an extra 70 bucks for the ticket? thats the point i'm trying to make. since i'm paying for me and the girl i'm bringing with me, chances are i'm prolly only going to go to one of the shows, but it'll be well worth the money and i'm not complaining.in addition, vegas makes a great busines trip for me any day.
