Axls_Disillusion Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I'm looking at $165 for the ticket. $350 for the flight. About $100 for the hotel room. Plus eats and drinks. IT totals to less than $600 for a wild weekend in Vegas.you will end up spending a lot more being in vegas. plus it'll be 100 bucks per night at the cheapest. the plus side is, you could always end up going home with everything you spent, or even more.. if you play your cards right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe123 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I've already got a hotel room for less than $100 a night, divided by the other people going to stay in the room, and it is dirt cheap. Plus, I don't play cards much. I might spend $50 in the casinos, at the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's now Monday eveniing and still not sold out? looks like the Saturday show will sell out fairly soon now.It's a lot of money for some people so I am not surprised it isn't fully sold yet but it will...but especially because there are other shows in somewhat of the same general vicinity people are probably just looking to spend less cash or are waiting to see of more dates are added closer to them to make a final decision-to A_D-I saw those rollercoasters online and I am all over them!!

Slashahaulic Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 No surprise it didn't sell out (or at least hasn't yet). He couldn't sell out the US with this act before, what makes you think he'll sell it out now? There are too many things to spend entertainment dollars on to blow $150 on a cover band. Shit, you can see other GnR cover bands for 10% the price or less and get the same songs and cheaper beer.$150 to see Slash, Izzy, Duff, and whoever drumming - well worth it.$150 to see a cover band play the same songs again - no thanks, and that is why it isn't selling out fast.Reality is going to slap Axl in the face if he thinks he can tour the US with no CD release and the same old tired act and be successful. This isn't Europe. We have other things to do than see a has been and a bunch of never beens. Without a CD release to give this band some hope for credibility, failure is the only option. America isn't full of people like Axls Dillusional...we won't accept anything just because someone purchased a brand name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

America isn't full of people like Axls Dillusional...we won't accept anything just because someone purchased a brand name.Don't you belong back in the Velvet Revolver section? They just added a bunch of new dates all over CA and trust me this tour is going to sell and the other shows are more reasonably priced for folks who do not want to spend the $150. So Axl is covering himself now, explain this to me because I just don't get it. The other guys left the band willingly and were replaced. It doesn't make them lesser musicians but they are no longer part of GNR. What's funny about people like you is if a reunion DID happen you would LOVE Axl again. But since it isn't happening, you slam the man for carrying on with other fantastic musicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Apollo Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 The high price might be because it's in a "vacation" setting.Places like Reno and Vegas are chocked full of people on vacation. That often attracts a different crowd than playing in Tacoma or Albany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than whoever happens to be the drummer and the effects guy, Dizzy is the biggest waste of space on stage. GnR is Axl, Slash, Izzy and Duff. Last time I checked, they have been successful on every album that involved these 4. I'm fairly sure that after 8 years together, the "fantasic musicians" haven't produced a single piece of material that was successful, much less an album. Now they can't sell out shows that would have sold out in a second with the 4 I mentioned playing them. Way to make a strong point. haha ya he's the same guy who says its a fact that axl has a bad voice he's just a silly slash cupcake. pay no mind to his posts.Haven't you been ripped apart enough on here already? Even the people that support your side are telling you to shut up. Do yourself a favor and listen to them. Funny how you only choose to attack me here, the only forum that will allow you to do so since you've been put in your place everywhere else. By the way, Axl never has had a good sustainable live voice, never has outside of the studio. For some reason, he never has been able to reproduce anything close to the studio voice live other than brief spurts. That is not an opinion. You may choose to like his live voice, that's fine, but he can't even come close to replicating his studio sound, even when he's standing still.
