Here Today... Gone To Hell!

We are putting together plans to make NY tickets available to GN'R forum users first before they go on general sale. This applies to all GN'R forums, not just this one.

I think it would be great for all you people to meet each other, and it would also make it more special for the band.

Only people who are certain they are going should apply.

I will, hopefully, be able to give you more information tomorrow. For now, if you can decide if you are definitely going, that would be great.

thanks   :peace:

"We"? I'm 99% sure I'm gonna be able to go, I live in KY, though, I'm gonna make sure I get a ticket before I book a flight and hotel...

Very cool for the US fans :peace:

What a very nice idea Mysteron.  This is very cool to try and do for the GN'R forum fans. Thank you and please pass on a thank you to Axl and company. : ok:

Thanks Mysteron.. Much Appreciated!

OMG that is fucking brilliant news. The atmosphere will be 10 times better if all the loyal hardcore fans that want to go manage to get a ticket.

I bloody hope they take the seats out. Seats at a GnR show...nah uh. General admission so those who want to can camp out to be at the front.

Awesome! Thanks to Mysteron, Merck, and all who are working on putting this together. It's great to get a reminder that management really does care/think about the fans. Can't wait for these shows!

Cool, put me down for 2 on both nights

Jonx

Yeah, I'll be going to both shows. ?I live in NY.

This is awesome cause im coming all the way from hawaii, so now im for certain i will get a ticket!

great news for the US fans! ?:)

I'll be there on the 15th - two tix please!  :peace:   :beer:


-Jeff

I live in Brazil... oh fuck  :rant:

I'm looking for 4 tickets to either nights show...plan on flying in with some friends from Chicago.

I was hoping this would happen. : ok:

Very good idea. Unfortunatelky I couldn't be there, I live in Paris and I have to work, but it's really a nice thing for the fans.
It's a great idea coming from Merck, the whole Management and the band  : ok:

I'm flying in from Holland for both shows!! So count me in! : ok:

Please get Axl4Prez2004 in there for the May 15th, Monday show! ?I've been waiting a long time for this!! ?Please Mysteron, this would be great! ?I am so psyched for this to happen! ?If I could get 4 tix for me and friends, that's great, but I'll settle for whatever you could spare to get me in. ?

Thanks again, a very cool idea.
A loyal fan, Axl4Prez2004 (here since 2003) ? :peace:
 :beer: ?

I'm from Mygnr (be nice!) and I would love 2 tickets to the 17th. Are they General admission or seats?

Is there a list being sorted out?  I need only 1 ticket.  It can be for either show, but preferably Monday May 15.

Thanks!

Someone ban him, ban him now.

Good stuff!  : ok:

thanks mysteron and all involved.  :beer:

I can definitely go. Live in New York.

Would love to meet anyone. Two Tickets, March 15 or 17th. Not picky at all.

PLEASE put me down for 1 ticket for each night.  I know I just registered at the forum, but I've been lurking around for years and it would be AWESOME for Axl and co. to let us loyal fans have a crack at actually getting tickets.

How do we find out if we got em or not?  B/c if we dont hear back, I'll be camped out, outside of the hammerstein! :P

A

I'm going if I can get tickets.

I'd need 2 for the first show.

Nice. Thanks for the info Mysteron.? I want 3 for one of the two dates.? I will go for sure (100%) if I can get tix.

  mysteron...like everybody else said...thanks a million for this (even for the attempt in case it doesn't work out).
  in any event, i'd like 2 tickets for eitehr show....thanks!

There's a 99% chance I'll be there

EDIT: If I can get 2-4 tickets, make that 100% sure

Wow thats cool, i have no chance of getting there but If this does happen you guys better appreciate them doing something for you, they gain nothing from this, it would have sold out regardless

this is a really nice gesture to the fans! great idea, this made me smile! :beer:

I'm in for the 17th... shall I get tickets.? And only two tickets are needed.  =)

im in philly so i can't.but if anything happens for philly let me know.im ready '

I have booked a hotel for Monday the 15, so I am certain I am going. I would like to be a part of this......pretty please?? ;D

ps, I only need one ticket for myself.  If I can't get one for the 15th, I can always change the reservation.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! ;D

I've booked my flight and hotel. Even if i have to buy an ebay ticket i'm going! GNR in a theatre is a once in a lifetime chance.

Whatever night I can get tickets for would be mucho appreciated- can def. make either night, great way to get these into the hands of the real fans instead of scalpers. Been waiting for this since midnight of 12/6/02. Thanks!

I am there on the Monday the 15th, 110%.  Just wanting to make sure I have two tickets in my possession before I make the trek from Ohio.  8)

I'm definitely going.  I think its a great idea to pack this place with the hardcore fans and not just the general "I want to be seen somewhere cool" types who typically go to these events.  Flight + Hotel's already booked for the Monday, May 15 show.

-darknemus

i know i will need 2 tickets. im going

 I need to 2 tickets for both night. ?: ok: ?How do we proceed with transaction? Is there a master list or something? ?Is there somewhere we can send money for deposit to ensure purchase?

Thanks. :peace:

I'm planning to go to the first show on the 15th, i would need 2 tickets for that show.  I'm flying in from LA and don't think i can do both shows unfortunately but i've been waiting since the LA show was cancelled for them to get back on the road!


Now i am wondering, will tickets be available for people who have been registered a certain amount of time to help prevent scalping?

i dunno, it would be kinda cool to sit at a table and drink some booze and see GnR on a stage that the venue has to offer.

I'd need two tickets for the first night.

I'll 100% be going if I can get tickets.

mine have to be the second night, iv got flights booked already

put me down for 2 tickets for may 15th plz... i'm driving 19 hours for this show

I need one ticket either night.....coming from Omaha, NE
Thank you,
LJ

I will be travelling from the UK. ?I'm looking for 2 tickets for both nights.

If you can put me down for 2 tickets for the 15th...IM 100% for sure going...i wont miss this for the world

OH and by the way thanks for this...Its a great thing that your trying to do :peace:


Kyle

Mysterion please put me down for 2.? I am 100% going!!!? I flew out to see GNR in Vegas from Philly, so NYC is no problem at all.? Please count me in for 2 tickets!!!!!? Either night will work for me!!!!!  Meeting more fellow forum members would be cool too. 

Wow Ta mysteron! That's really nice of the management and GNR.  :D

I'm not 100%sure if I can go at the moment as I live far from NYC and have many things to fix up but I'd love to go the shows.
There must be few opportunities of seeing the band without being squashed and moshed. This is like the chance of a lifetime.

People, stop feeding touts now.

Mysteron,

I know you said you're going to be finalizing details.  Do you, at this point, know if we'll access the pre-sale through ticketmaster.com (similiar to how the pre-sales were for the 2002 shows?  )

Thanks,

-darknemus

is it GA  or is it going to be seating????

well I am going to get four tickets, and I am doing this to help people on gnr sites .. I only need one ticket for myself ,and two of the three are spoken for already... I hope it all works out for everyone..

I have booked flight and hotel and have even arramged time off from work. Please put me down for one on 5-17-06. You rock! Happy Easter :peace:

That would be awesome

a friend of mine and I are driving from Ohio to NY.  So I'll be watching this thread to get the info.

Something of that nature

Keep checking back, I'll give you more details soon

Mysteron, i have a brazillian friend of our forum here who wants to go to the show.
She will only buy the travel tickets to NY if she has the tickets of the show reserved.
Could you look specially to this case?
Thanks a lot

GunSlinger what part of Ohio are you from? cuz me and my girlfriend will be driving from Ohio to the show as well so itll be nice to have a fell Ohioan there

Kyle

They should let the people who are on the gnronline mailing list get first dibs.

Well, I'm in... 2 tix for N1 & 1 ticket for N2  ;D

2 for each night would be great. If need be, I'd settle for 1 for each night. These shows are going to be awesome!

Raven

I am definitley going to go.  Keep us updated on the preseale news!!!!!!!

Wow, that is totally amazing.  Thanks SO much!

Please put me down for 4 tickets for either night if that is possible.  Thanks again!  : ok: 

im flying to NYC from Paris. i need 2 tickets for the 15th for me and my girlfriend, who's coming from south carolina.

so if i fly across the ocean and dont get tickets i'll be kinda mad ;)

same man,  I can't wait for the 21st to see if I get em or not.

Hi I need 4 tix for mon. and 2 for wed

thank you so so much if this works out

I was gutted when I couldn't make the Vegas shows, so I definitely want to get to these.  I'm flying in from England and am hoping to get 1 ticket for each night.

Thank you to all those who are trying to get this organised - it's much appreciated.  : ok:

This is great. 100% going to both shows. 1 ticket for 15th, 1 ticket for 17th. would be great if the die hards can all attend.

glad to see i am not the only crazy flying across water here :)

I'll be happy with one from either night  8)

Not real fair for one main reason.  I'm on that list - however, the email address registered no longer exists (AT&T Broadband was bought out by Comcast) - therefore any email sent to darknemus@attbi.com just bounces back now.  Think of how many other people were on that list who's email addresses have changed since then - it is 3 1/2 years later now, obviously.

-darknemus

It's gotta be done  ;D

I'm a little confused on why we are making a list now. Are the people saying yes going to be the only ones informed of the info??

Great idea! I'll be there 2 tickets for either night. Wouldn't miss this one. Hopefully will be as good as Hard Rock in Vegas!

i just hope i get tickets as i(well, technically my friend) has already booked our flights for the show on the 17th.

Well if we are actually making a list. I need one ticket to each show. Already booked my hotel and looked into airfare!!
It would help out a lot to be on the pre-sale list!! Thanks sooo very much!
amyloeffel

I believe it's to give Mysteron an idea of the numbers of people who would be in on tickets. ? I don't think that the first 1,000 people (for example) get tickets.

Yeah, definitly NEED to go...Today, I was in Tomkins Park and got real excited thinkin' about this show...it'd be way cool to meet some people around my age to get excited about these shows. ?When I saw GNR in 2002 at MSG I was alone because me buddies just aren't into this like I am. ? So, yeah...a presale would be rad...!!

I will need two tickets to the May 15th show.

Sounds fair! Thanks! I have been making all kinds of plans! Hope the best of the best of us get there! We all have to make a real effort to make these shows the best ever for Axl and company!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a great idea for the hardcore fans!  (i.e. users on this forum :y )

I definitely hope to score tix - what an amazing show it will be.

Gn'R!!!!!

It'll be users on all GN'R  forums, not just this one.

I'd say mark me down for two tickets ?for both shows but unfortunately the lat time I travelled to see Guns/Axl he didn't show up. Can't risk a flight to New York from Calgary. ?:no:

Yes, I understand that.  Perhaps could have expanded upon my example.

Anyway, I am excited blood is moving in the Gn'R camp.  Alright, let's get these tickets everyone and party like its 1999.   :beer:  :beer: : ok:

Still haven't made up my mind. If I go (from Calgary) I will want one ticket to both shows (may as well make it worth my while).

/The Rev.

Hey, just curious....is there a limit on the number of tix we can put ourselves down for and would it be ok if we wanted to put ourselves down for both nights?  This isn't a request per se' just curious.  I had asked for FOUR  for one night and thought that might be too many?  Just don't want to appear greedy.

This would be great...however how do we prevent the presale info. from entering the hands of scalpers?? I'm excited to hear the details.? I would love 2 tickets for either night but would settle for 1.  I'm definitely going to be able to make it as I live in Jersey City, right outside NYC.

2 tix needed for Gunsguy and Mrs. Gunsguy!  I am going fror sure anyway possible, so hopefully diehards get them first!!!

I will buy them on ebay if need be...



Gunsguy

Count me in for 2 tickets for the second night ?: ok:

This would be so awsome hope you can make this work. 100% count me in already have hotel set up.  :beer:

I'm 100% sure that I'm going pending that I get tickets. ?I've already requested 14th thru 18th off work. ?I only need tickets to one of the shows, I just wanted to be safe incase I don't get any for the 15th show.

If i get tix im going. I already took off the time fromwork. I would need two tix one for me and one for eric *kv*

please count me 4 tix (2 for 15th and 2 for 17th) HELL YEAH!!!!!! SEE YA there suckerz!

Hey I need 3 tickets to heaven.

This person makes an EXCELLENT point.  If there's a pre-sale password distributed for the tickets.  We need to do everything in our power to assure that it doesn't get into the hands of scalpers / brokers.  Otherwise, we're defeating the entire purpose of this process.

I'm hoping that they don't have 'sleeper accounts' on various message boards just waiting for things like this.  I realize there's no way to put a 100% kabosh on the process - but still, all necessary precautions by us, the fan base, should be taken.  (i.e. - don't give the pre-sale password to your cousin Frank who once listened to SCOM and thought it was a "groovy song")

-darknemus

I agree, they should do it in a way the regular posters get the first batch of tix, maybe do it so its only two per account, that way the true fans get the tix.

dave,

Problem with that is we tend to have alot of lurkers who might post once every 3 or 4 months - but are still active 'board members'.  I just hope we, as a community, can exercise enough discretion to keep the pre-sale password out of the hands of those that, frankly, have no business having access to it.   :peace:

-darknemus

Scratch that, half of my friends just totally pooned out on me.

Put me down for TWO tickets please :)

Yeah but ppl like Jarmo and Mysteron know who those people are, and could make sure the right ppl get the tix. Its going to be hard but i hope the true fans get to go. Is there a way when we enter the presale we can use our email addy on the forum, that way the real fans get the tix

Just because you do not post does not mean a thing. I visit the board faithfully everyday. Some things are better left unsaid

So if and when this happens will there be some kind of post to let us know or do you think the password is going to be distrubuted through pm's or something? ?I am definitely going but if there is a pre sale that would save me from having to take the time off work to score tix!

Just because you do not post does not mean a thing. I visit the board faithfully everyday. Some things are better left unsaid

You dont have to post, you can tell by how much long in time you have.

I would need 2 tickets for either night. If I get the tix i'm there! ?:smoking: Thanx for thinking of us.

see but I've been on this site for 5yrs, and on gnronline before that.? I only registered the times when it was not possible to view the board without being a member. And I've had like 3 accounts because I would forget my username. That's why I suggested using the mailing list :-\

P.S I had tickets for the Dallas and Houston shows that were cancelled, so I'd really like to go to this one. I have to ask my g/f though. :rant:

I know I look shady, having just registered... I've honestly been lurking on the board for years now, waiting for Chinese Democracy (like the rest of you nuts!)- I swear on everything that is holy, I am not a scalper, and <b>all I want is one ticket for each night</b> !  Ever since these shows were announced, this is ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT !  lol.  I've been listening to all the new trakcs on a shuffle.  Since there is a backlash against noobs making requests, I thought I'd throw that out there!

thanks
Adam   

No Business as in "not fans and just want to profit"   

And as far as the 2 a days count dave, I visit here nearly every day but only post once in a while but have still loved gnr for the last two decades

OH, also, I live in NY and definlty can go to BOTH nights !! 

A

I am just throwing around ideas. But if? you limit it to two per person, then the scaplers wont waste their time on two tix, you know what I mean? Its too bad they dont add a 3rd show for just board members. :)

ppl like jarmo (htgth), eric (mygnr), bi polar(cd.com) etc disbriute the tix, that would be cool to have just all the board ppl at one show

And I agree as long as? you are a member of the boards and are gonna go to the show you should get a chance to get tix, its just the people that are gonna get tix then resell them shouldnt.

Hey I need 4 tix as well. Im coming from all the way in Winnipeg, Canada, to see this show. It would mean the world to me to see gnr.

As of right now, I need 2 for the 15th and 2 for the 17th.  If that changes I will edit this. 

This is an incredible idea. If I can get a ticket this way, I can definitely make it. Put me down for two, please (I'll be happy with one, if that's easier, in which case I'll just party with all you guys). I've been wanting to party in NYC in years but have been waiting for the right occasion. This is it.

How will you notify the people who are selected to attend?

Thanks for looking out for people like me ?:) ?I have been lurking on this site in particular well before I even set up an account, and an old website called lostrose before that. ?

I'd love to see this thing get off on as good of a foot as possible, and having us passionate fans that can sing along to not only SCOM, but TWAT as well (not sure they'll play this, but just making a point) would give Axl such a confidence boost.

Mark me down for four on Wednesday.....  I'd ask for 4 for both days, but I think its unfair for me to take up tickets for both nights.  Why should one person see 'em twice and another none at all?

Because you are able to

I'm down for both nights, 100% committed.  Would like 2 tickets, but would be fine if only singles available.

I've been developing a strategy for how to crack the "2,000 seats but 200,000 people trying to buy simultaneously on ticketmaster" problem - and this is it!!!  These forums have been really the only thing we GNR fans have had other than the 2002 tour, and it's wonderful that we as a community are pulling this together.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Irgspice

everyone from the forums want 4 tickets, place is going to be gnr forums, it'll be insane : ok:

I can't wait to be holding 4 tickets in my hand and be able to help my brothers out..

I also can't wait to meet you people :peace:

I really hope they do this.  I was hoping to go if I got tickets, now it looks like my chances have improved.

Man, this is just too insane, I change my mind (last time I hope haha), I gotta go to both shows.  Two tix for Two nights - if thats cool.

I wonder though, will the presale be for one of the nights or for both?

I'll be happy with one night , if they plan an usa tour I will go to msg for sure or nassau or the other tri state venues

I am even more anxious to have the night of drinking and meeting up with forum members I have been chatting with so i can speak and not write.. it should be an all around great time

Wow this would be completely amazing if true. I've been visiting the GNR boards religiously for the last 2+ years and this would have to be one of the most rewarding things that could possibly come from it... I hope this can happen!

I am 1000% committed to attending the show on the 17th... so if I could get 2 tickets for that I would be overjoyed!!

Well, it sounds like we'll all get our chance within the next 4 days so........

You all better be calling your credit card companies and clearing up a few hundred bucks. :yes:

May I ask where these shows are being played? MSG?

Well i work like two blocks away from hammerstein, so I defenitally am going to find a way to get tickets one way or another.

Hammerstein Ballroom.

Thanks Mr. Intensity. Do you know the capacity for this venue?

I'm down for 3 tickets (or 2 if 3 isn't possible) for the 17th; balcony.

Planning on an early exit from work to get on line and wait..and wait....completely worth it. 

Time to break out the old '02 Tour t-shirt.  Chinese Democracy Starts Now Soon

its like 3,700 something

Not to criticize the idea in the slightest, but I just saw something on another thread that caught my eye. ?I know the venue is supposed to have no bad seats, but it wouldn't be quite the same experience if I wasn't in the front row. ?Are the tickets going to be GA, or are they going to be the worst seats in the house, as is often the case with pre sale tickets.

I might risk going for normal sales to get GA tickets cause I've got to see GNR right up front.  I got screwed over in Toronto cause I was so far away (stupid presale).

Holy Crap. that's small. $63 bucks for tickets right? I'm ?a sucker. Gonna check flight costs right now. ;D ::)

Flight costs are cheap as hell right now.  At least from here.  Fort Lauderdale to NYC is $148 round trip.

-darknemus

Hey guys,

Buckethead's hand puppet just told me the 4 ticket limit will still be in place.
We will all have our chance this week, remember only 4 tickets though.
So make sure to clear up at least $300 on your credit card just to be safe. : ok:

I can definatly 100% make it for the 17th, I only need one ticket. I even lied to my professor about a wedding i had to be at so they would let me take my final exam early. I would do anything to get a ticket for that night.

Have a credit card available this week, you'll get a ticket.

I've booked my flight from saskatoon, and my hostel room like two blocks from the venue. I would really like to meet up with some other gunners though!

Mr Intensity-  Since you seem to know youre shit, what are the odds of me getting one GA ticket for EACH night w/ the presale?  God, if I dont have to stand, overnight, @ hammerstein on Thursday night, I'll be thrilled !

A

A word of advice,

If you can afford it I'd advise every one of you to buy the four tickets you'll be allowed to purchase. That was there will be an accumulation of extra tickets this board will have to sell to legitimate Guns N Roses fans at face value. Remember, if we don't purchase as many as we can that's more out there for ticket brokers to obtain and the more great guns n roses fans like us that will be taken advantage of......

Have no doubts, if you buy extra tickets, they will easily be sold, how cool would it be to find some guy minutes before the show ready to shell out $300 to a scalper and just give him one for face value, so remember try to get as many as you can afford. :peace:

You don't have to take my word on this, it was posted by Mysteron, your chances are 100% of getting a ticket as long as long as you have money to purchase this week. If it makes you feel any better I also verified it with my source, as Buckethead's hand puppet is getting paid double to work on Easter Sunday.

I'm new to this board. but I am GNR faithful. I always used to look on gnronline for any news, but it never gets updated. I usuall get my gnr news from mygnr.com. I got to see the MSG show, but had to shell out major cash to a scalper. I would kiond of like to save money this time around. I think it would be great to give the gnr fans a presale. I'd love to be on board!

I have enough availible to get 4, and i would be more than willing to get them and make sure they get into the hands of real fans at face value. However, i do not want to get stuck with a couple the night of the show and have to sell them to the first person i see, who could be a scalper and rip someone off later. I would be willing to work with some people who could get tickets, that way if one of us doesn't get any, we could still go, and get any extras into the hands of real fans.

Is it May 15th and 17th these shows are being played? Also when is this presale taking place? the thought of this thing being loaded with TRUE Gn'R fans has made me excited and even contemplateing doing this. I shouldn't even be thinking about this.I'm an idiot. :rofl:

It's easy to find out who is a scalper and who isn't, just converse with them about gnr for a bit and if they don't know too much about the band, opt to sell them to someone else, like lets say someone who talks about songs like Coma, Estranged, Locomotive or C.D leaked tracks.. not just the dude who is like "uhhh, Novemeber Rain is my favorite song".. :hihi:

As far as I am concerned, this is the biggest gnr show ever, do whatever you need to do to get there. You're assured to get tickets for $63.00 this upcoming week.

Who's got time to ask every member at every gnr fan board questions....
I think the board should just give each currently active member that joined before the presale was announced an email with a username and password for a site that will give them 4 tickets to the show. ?That was if someone is a scalper that's a member, they can only get 4 tickets.

It'd be about $750 Canadian for the trip. I'd leave the morning of the 15th arive in the mid afternoon, eat, go straight to the show, after the show eat go straight back to the airport and fly home. :rofl: I want to, I want to.... Thinking... thinking..... :-\

Trust me, me and at least one other are already working behind the scenes to find a local bar to rent out from Noon-6pm if we can get at least 50 people from this board to commit to going to that location to pre-party, meet each other, and prepare for the concert that night. Do as Jarmo says though, wait until we all got tickets, identify ourselves in the touring section, and I'll use what means I have to try to obtain securing us all a bar to meet at.

I always get the presale jitters; for each show I've been to lately, it's all been presale.  And I've been lucky.  But danged if I'm not a bit shaky as I navigate the website to search for tickets the morning of said presale.  What a stressful week coming up!  :nervous:

Do you mean I should wait to get tickets Mr. Intensity and buy them off another member? When is this presale happening? I need that info so I can seriously begin to think about booking a flight. I won't book a flight befroe I have a ticket. I'll go wherever we all decide upon as long as I arrive in New York on time/in time.

I'm definitely IN on the pre-show festivities...and hopefully for BOTH nights. I don't know about renting a place out, but there's a cool restaurant/pub called Mustang Sally's around 28th and 8th...not too far from Hammerstein. Might be a cool place to meet up. We'll figure it all out once we've got our tickets.

What we need now...some HTGTH badges that host our usernames for this 'meet & greet'...LOL ?: ok:

Even though it looks like everyone will get one, I'd like to point out that some of us (like me) have been coming here since 2003, but never registered until the leaks started (why should I? I have no information, and there was really nothing to talk about, other than pointless speculation) - just a thought for some of you guys,

Buy the tickets direct from the pre-sale that will happen later this week.

Count me in. ?Id like 4 tix for the Monday show. ?But I'll take for the Wednesday show as well. ?

Mysteron, not sure whose idea this was but its a good one and one that I think we here have all earned a right to. ?So Thank You to you or whoever came up with this.

Hope to see all of you there.

So exactly how is this working? We just say we want tickets and we get put on a list? If I understand this right "Bono"(me) will be on a list under the name "Bono"?  Also what day exactly is the presale happening? The tickets go on sale to the public on April 21st?

Mysteron has more details on this than I at the moment.

I know that it will happen later this week, and the ticket limit of 4 per person will still be enforced. I believe the powers that be are waiting until Monday to work this out with the venue/ticketmaster as it is a holiday weekend and this idea was not confirmed until after working hours on Friday. Trust me, you'll get tickets if you have the money for them this upcoming week for sure.

I am 100% sure that I am going! I need two tickets for each date. I have been waiting for this since The Vegas shows at the Hard Rock in '01. Thanks Mysteron! I hope this happens for all of us.

Mr. I....is that 4 tix total for both nights? or 4 tix PER night???  Personally, I'd shit myself if I get 2 tix for both nights.  keep the info coming, this is exciting.

I don't want to bug Buckethead's hand puppet too many times on Easter Sunday, he's had a rough easter as he didn't get the toy doll of The Crow he wanted and is cranky. Mysteron will have all the details by tommorow afternoon I am sure. I do believe it is 4 tickets to each show though, as management I am sure is aware that most of us would love to see the band on both nights. : ok:

So are we getting presale for being gnr forum members?

Yes. The offer is going to be open to all gnr forums as Mysteron stated.

When?  I need to be on the ball for that one

Mysteron will give the full details by tommorow afternoon, I'd imagine it will take place on Wed. or Thur., so clear some room on the credit card chief.

I wonder if your post count will be taken inot consideration in an attempt to weed out people who just sign up. I'd be pissed if I didn't have enough posts. I used to have about 8000 at mygnr untill....nevermind.

If anything, it should be registration date.  Most of the real fans have been here for ages, and the person that just joined shouldn't get dibs just cause they respond to everything everyone ever said.

Thanks to Mysteron and to Merck.  I hope this allows people to understand that GNR DO care about the fans.  Count me in for 2 tickets to each show, my wife is finally going to go see GNR with me  :peace:

I'd Like 2 Tickets For The May 15th, 2006 Show Please. :)

Join the club.  I think I just posted my first thing at mygnr since the redux.

There will be more than enough tickets available for the members of the various boards. So far i bet the number of people intending to go is in the low hundreds, there will be plenty to go around!

Jonx

As far as I know, it's two tickets per show per person.

That might change though.




/jarmo

Can I Be One Of Those Persons??!! ;D

put me down for 3. if not then some lucky 3 people get tickets right?

awesome, i'm definilty going to the may 17th one. would prefer 4 but 2 or 3 would be fine. this is an awesome idea thanx alot mysteron

Hmm, let me guess, you've been registered for years right? ;) 

Lets just all relax, I'm sure we're all going to be taken care of.  I've been coming to this site for years but just recently started posting on the message board - I'm sure there are dozens of others just like me.  # of posts, registration date...none of it is a good barometer of "who is a real fan" or not. 

this is a great way to both satisfy fans and get rid of the pathetic people buying up tickets for the black market. props!

I would love to go to either show and get two tix

I travelled to Japan to see Izzy in 2000 so I think I can afford to finally see Axl from Maryland

by the way - many people can say thanx to me for recording those izzy shows - I am sure people have enjoyed them as much as I have.

Cheers and rock on!!

Alex

I think the obvious barometer of a real fan is his or hers ongoing KFC boycott/hungerstrike since the departure of the reportedly difficult Buckethead.

this is a brilliant thing to do for the fans!!!

 ?If I am fortunate enough to get tickets to the May 15th show, you will hear the loudest scream of joy from the great state of Delaware! ?I've got my fingers crossed  :nervous:...co-workers have been warned that work days will be missed! ?Please, oh please let this happen. ?2 tickets to the Monday May 15th show would be amaaazing.  Thank you to all the powers that be.  :yes:     ?

 :love: ? ?Axl4Prez2004!!!   

count me in. i be flying there from los angeles  :peace:

I'd Like 2 Tickets For The May 15th, 2006 Show Please.

I've visited GNR forums every few days since 1996, and  if I have to fly to NYC from the UK to see this, I'm gonna do it.

 :beer:

@#$%Funker

Why do I feel like these boards are going to be lit up like NYC until the presale announcement info finally comes through? Can't wait to  hopefully feel "Better" about the ticket situation.  ;D

Too bad I won't have enough money for this. :( Otherwise I would have flown from Paris...

I've already booked a bus ticket, made reservations for my hotel and talked to professors at my college to reschedule exams so I can make both shows. ?I'm definitely there - I need 1 ticket for each night.

This is so awesome.

Mysteron, please let the powers that be know how appreciated we all are for giving us this opportunity.

Hopefully we will have plenty of notice about this presale so that if I have to work all day I won't miss out.

But muchas gracias to management and the band!!! :peace:

Great news!  Very grateful that you guys are handling this.  Put me down for 2 tickets for either show.

i think the presale to forum members is a good way of ensuring a partisan crowd for any possible video that could be shot.

but i'm paranoid about alot of things. maybe it is just the band being very nice.

or maybe i'm just bitter that i'm not going.

This is true, a crowd full of hardcore fans ensures good reviews, and also a positive crowd that night. Therefore any press done as a result will be very good. Can't wait to go.

i never even considered the reviews it would get. i'm getting more paranoid by the minute.

Actually, if it is true then its pretty good marketing.

Put me down for 2 tickets for each night, please.

I don't get this at all. This seriously can't be the thread where we request tickets. really what's going on? Mr. Intensity you keep saying we'll get our tickets if we request them(I have yet to commit) but really is this thread a legit way to "reserve" our presale tickets?

I think it was a way to initially see how many tickets could be sold to see if it was worthwhile, but im pretty sure (no sources, just think it will go this way) the forums will get passwords to use on ticketmaster before the public can buy them. Thats how most presales work.

What the above poster said - a presale password will be distributed to forum members.

But I have a feeling someone will leak the password.

There will only be a certain number of internet presale tickets available anyway, so hopefully we snatch the tickets before a leak happens.

Indeed.  Perhaps send it in PM form to all members; as opposed to posting it on the forum where outsiders could find it easily.  And immediate deletion/ban of those members who decide to post said password.  I'm sure we want to keep this "in the family."

Yes, the distribution of the password needs to be private, there are people on here who are coming from all corners to see them (me not included, I'm in maryland only a few hours away) and have waited a long time for this, and they deserve to attend.

Mysteron being over the other side of the world I won't be going, but please pass on that this is just first class for the fans? : ok: People that have been complaining about how management/GNR doesn't care about the fans or do anything for the fans.. please be silenced!? :smoking:

i have to have 2 tickets for the 17th, or else im SOL, as i have already booked the plane :-\

well look I think the best way this would work ideally is for people who are regular posters or have been members on the board for more than like 2 months should be given the code first IF a code is being given out.  Then after those people have the presale code for about a day then the presale code can be given out to the others who are the 'new' people who showed up out of nowhere. 

I know its very difficult to organize, but I think that is the best way this can work.  I REALLY hope this show is GA.  I dont want a presale code only to find myself battling for seats in the 1st and 2nd balcony. 

I hate to be an elitist prick about the message board 'veterans' getting the presale code first, but it seems like the only way that it can be done fairly.  Maybe now the lurkers will jump in and actually participate! 

members are members, you can't really discriminate them.

ummmm yes you can

I woyld like 4 please for the 15th.  Will be in Vegas the 17th

Thanks :beer:

In other words WAR41, you'd like it because it helps you out and screws alot of other people. Most people here would be happy just to be in the building, and you are bitching about where your seat might be.

two tickets ti both shows please! ? ?I've waited so long that 2000+ miles and a lot of cash mean nothing to me at this point!


xphoenix

It will be too hard to filter out new members against old members. I'm sure this is difficult enough as it is!

Anyway the way I see it, to join the board.. you have to be somewhat interested and somewhat into GN'R to be checking their message boards to see this information in the first place ?: ok:

Plus, im not positive but i've seen some references to other forums that may be a part of this having lost a lot of member data and having to start over?

Hi all, long time MYGNRFORUM member. ?I'm just checkin in here and posting my name in this list in case the presale only goes to HTGTH. ?I understand that I won't - and shouldn't - recieve priority over any of the other HTGTH members, I'm just here just in case. ?Been a fan for a long time and wouldn't want to miss out on this opportunity. ?But again, I can see the concerns many members would have if I were to get tix over them. ?Whatever you guys decide is fine with me
 ?

Unfortunately I'll be on vacation (out of the area) for both those dates or else I wouldn't miss it.

If there happens to be another show that pops up before the 15th......or after the 21st, I will be attending any and all shows.

But if the 15th and the 17th are the only pre-Rio performances....I'll have to catch them when they return to the states.

I don't want to be mean, but in most situations, the fans that have been here longest are the ones that are more dedicated. ?Look how many people have become members since a presale was suggested. ?I'll be pissed off as fuck if I miss out on presale and some scalper that joined 10 minutes ago gets it. ?I say anyone who's become a member since the Hammerstein dates were announced are excluded. ?And bitching about where the seats are is perfectly legit... I want to see guns n roses in the front row, and I'm sure you do too.

The reason you need to discriminate is because there are over 5000 members at this board alone and I'll bet there will be alot more if scalpers find out they can get tickets early here.

Jbenzz, I would love to see them from the front. No doubt about it. I admit I have only been a member for short time, but it was well before these shows were announced. Like i said, i would be happy to be in the building.

Please make sure you try for tix yourself too, so we all have  a chance, because if everyone that is on a list and think they are gonna def get them, no one is gonna get them.

I am definatly going to try to get them at any possible presale, and also when they do go on sale to the public. I am also willing to work with some others to try to get them, and then get any extras if both parties get tickets into the hands of others here. I simply have to get tickets to the 17th.

I would love to be on a pre-sale list for either show. Thanks a lot to whoever is organizing this.

it's screwed though. It appears that I'm a nooby here because I just signed up but I've been at cd.com forever. So if this pre-sale thing happens it best be on all the forums and not just select ones.

I really hope this pans out. It would be a dream come true to be in a theater full of GNR fanatics. There'd be so much mutual appreciation and fun to be had. I'm afraid too many tickets will go to casual fans.

Even though I have absolutely no effect on who gets pics, all I'm saying is that people that only join to take advantage of the pre sale shouldn't be able to get tickets. ?Moustache and GunnerOne, you've both been here for at least a month, so I don't see why that's an issue.

And I'm pretty sure they've said that most bigger GNR forums are going to get presales.

Folks, we're losing the thread here (pun intended).  I've been a member with mygnr for awhile, my member data was lost, and I look like a newbie there.  I've been a member here since Feburary, but just started posting.  The mere fact that they're working on a presale at all is impressive; that it's based on an intimate, dedicated internet community rather than a ticketmaster mailing list is even more impressive.  Focus on the positive - you may get a ticket to see GnR on a superhot ticket before the public has an opportunity.  Your chances of getting a spot inside Hammerstein have been greatly increased due to the efforts and excitement of these forum boards.  Let's be grateful, not irritable. 

I wonder how many of us will actually get ix, ebay ticket brokers are already selling them, do they get them from ticketmaster early?

And i do agree people who joined today shouldn't get access, but it is a tricky situation to regulate. Hopefully everyone that seriously plans to attend will be able to.

I will without a shadow of a doubt be going to both shows. I will need 2 tickets for each show.

What the fuck!!?? That's lame.

not only is it lame, they are getting marked up like crazy.

This is BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!

http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?MfcISAPICommand=GetResult&ht=1&shortcut=0&from=R41&query=Guns+N%27+Roses&category0=1305

I just saw that. How did they already get tickets?

Raven

I'm not sure if they do, or are maybe just banking on the hope that they will, and can make money. Either way, im getting the sinking feeling we may get f'd out of these shows unless we pay out the ass.

I'd say the eBay tickets are inside jobs. There's no other way to guarantee that you'll have tickets to sell. Damn scalpers to hell...

these are just brokers speculating that thy will be able to buy tickets like us - don't worry

Didnt merck say those tix on ebay are scams?

Just to reiterate what BULLSHIT that is check the link in my quote for anyone who hasn't seen it yet. I fucking hate scalpers. I sold a Motley Crue ticket the other night 5 minutes before the show to a guy who was dying to get in. I sold it to him for face value. He was pumped cause he got in and I was more than happy to help out a fan rather than fuck'em right over. Scalpers blow.

I just hope if they use a presale password they make it really obscure. I've been able to guess presale passwords before, it's usually something that has to do with the type of event. Example: for The Lion King one presale was "Pride", for Seinfeld "Newman".

Raven

nah the exact same thing was happening with U2 last tour. Tickets were on ebay before they actually went on sale and the prices were jacked. U2 management released a statement telling fans not to buy them untill after the tickets officially went on sale. The prices for tickets will always bottom out weeks before the show and then start riseing again as the show gets closer. I would bet these tcikets are legit tickets.

Tell me about it, you should see what they charge for college basketball tickets to see North Carolina vs. Duke. These are $40 tickets that sell for more than $250 each ($600 each if the game is at Duke).

Raven

I doubt the tickets will go down in price though. Right now with it being only 4 weeks until the concert, and the size of the venue, it'll be a perfect storm for scalpers.

Raven

I will definitely be going to one of the shows, either night.  I'll take whatever I can get -- 2 tickets would be nice, but I'll go alone without thinking twice.

Damn, I think this is a great opportunity for Guns message board followers. For whoever set it up Thanks for looking out for the fans. I will sadly not be able to make it to NY both my jobs that I'm working will not allow me to make it. I ask for those waiting in line for tickets, partying with the other members on the boards please take some pics and document your experience.

Bob (from Bob and Tom) was talking about how he was given a ticket to the Masters Golf Tournament (I think), he left 3 hours early, a guy out in the lot offered him $500 for his ticket, a $25 dollar ticket. It's so crazy. I still have a sour taste from U2's Vertigo tour. Scalpers ruined that tour. It was like sabotage...

That's why it's important that if you're able to pick up extras, you sell 'em at face to forum members who aren't as fortunate.  Don't let these scumbags continue to ripoff actual fans.

U2 management were able to patch things up with people who hadn't yet used their presale password on nosebleed tickets, though.  However, that was if your area had later shows during the 3rd leg.  The best experience I had with a presale was Coldplay (yeah yeah, flame away) - you had to pick up the tickets at the will-call with your ID in hand.  Heck, Dylan made sure people in the 1st 4 rows to his Beacon Theatre shows were escorted immediately after picking up their willcall tickets.  Of course, those tickets were also about $100 face....

Dude, you won't be alone.  You'll have this entire fanatical community there with you every step of the way.  We're like, a cult or something.  Well, except for the burning buildings and the poisoned Kool-Aid.

-darknemus

 

moving like a radioactive cloud through the streets of Gotham.

Do you think those tickets that are postedonn stub hub right now are also fake, and people that think they will get a hold of them to sell.

My feeling is that if your a true Guns fan who has done everything they possibly could for this band whether it be stickin up for them when your friends bash them for not releasing albums, to listening to a boring ass radio show just on the hopes of hearing the bassist mention anything about them, or whatever you guys have done, then those are the ones who should be able to get tickets. ?Ive been commin to this site since it had the old format from years ago, and im gonna travel from Ohio to see them, hell i even rolled all the change i had been saving over the years for gas money(Cant think of a better situation to use it) ?So it is my hope that ill be sharin a ballroom with you other true fans out there listening to Guns N Fuckin Roses in NYC in about 4 weeks. ?:beer:

Kyle

I have been a long time reader here at HTGTH and would love to get in on the presale. I need 2 (preferably the 15th) but either day would work.

Since its going to be impossible for some of us (myself included) to see these shows, I hope GNR puts a live feed on their website, or maybe put the show up the next day.

Wow this is great news since now I am 95% certain I am going.

If anyone from Northeast PA is going hit me up with a PM.  Would like to know if others from the area are going.

My only concern really is the show being cancelled last second. I've had that happen before in Vancouver and it left a sour taste in my mouth. If Axl pulled that stunt or something similar(rescheduald) again after I flew to New York from Calgary I don't know what I'd do.

Bono would turn into V; wearing a mask and blowing shit up.

Or B for Bonodetta...

I cant see that happening just for the simple fact that this could very well be the Gunners, and Axls, last shot. ?Back in 02' when he pull that shit it was more of wow its the same ole' crazy Axl Rose that doesnt give a shit about anything. ?Thank God he came to the one in Cleveland and i got to see them. ?This time around everyones tired of that shit always happening, which Axl probably doenst care what they think, but im bettin that management does and there on his ass(all be it in a nice way) to get him to be on best behavior for this show. ?So im pretty faithful in Mr Rose that hell be on attendance and put on one hell of a performance. ?ROCK ON!!!


Kyle

Axl better show up because I've already book my flight from saskatoon (where you say.... the middle of canada) and hotel. I'll pay the ebay price if I have to. Seeing GNR in a theatre is like a dream come true.

Hell, the last US GnR show was NYC.  I don't see why he'd not come back to kick arse again.  Back-to-back triumphant NYC appearances (albeit separated by 4 years) sounds like a fine "Round 2" to me...

I really hope this works out for all of us.  I would LOVE to see Gn'R in a place like Hammerstein (saw Our Lady Peace and Jimmy Eat World there - great venue)

right on  : ok:

Awesome!...I plan on going to Monday's show so I'd just need one ticket for the 15th :peace:

Already have my hotel booked and will book airfare IF I am guranteed a ticket so thanks for the presale thingy if it happens. : ok:

 :rofl:

Mysteron,

Not sure how your pull works, but I would like to purchase two tickets (for either the 15th or 17th).  I am driving from Pittsburgh, so I need two since it's relatively a long drive to do alone.

I've been a fan for a long time and to think I've been waiting for new Gn'R since I was in 6th grade.  I graduate college this year and moving to NYC to begin my career.  This would be an AMAZING graduation present!!!!!!   :beer: :drool: : ok:

Looking forward to this!

whoaaaaa easy there killah.... Of course it will help me out, and I think that it will help out all the fans who you KNOW are fans of the band.  Do I think you are a fan?  Sure I do, but I guarantee you there are some sketchy people out there who just joined either a few days ago after this show was announced or they joined when the new tracks were leaked so that they could find out where to get them.  I don't think you are one of them, but who knows right? 

I think everyone who has been actively participating on the boards or those who registered a long time ago and post rarely should be given first dibs.  Sorry if you don't like it, but how else should it be done realistically?

And yes, I apologize for going off topic.   

Just asked my fiance, and she said I could go! ?;D

mysterion is the man... i've been reading this board for years and would be stoked if you guys could hook up one ticket to either night... beggers can't be choosers...  mysterion, you hook it up, you got shots of petron on me :beer:

Not too far from Pittsburgh, and looking to drive to NYC myself for the 15th show (2 tickets total). ?How exactly will we find out more about getting tickets through the forum like you mention, Mysteron?

I need one ticket for the 15th. ?I will be there for sure. ?Who knows when I will get another chance to see them in the U.S. ?Thanks Mysteron.

hi.

Yes it is hard to regulate, and im sorry i didn't mean to come off rude, i apologize for that, but i know i would be heartbroken if were told i could take part becuase i've only been a member a few months. I didn't join to take advantage of a situation, i did it to be among friends.

me

did you wanna try to get tickets like my above post said? i am willing to help anyone on here if they would help me, and i will buy the limit of 4 if i can get them, so that leaves room for 3 others since i will be going alone.

Me, too.  I've been a fan since AFD first came out, and saw multiple shows during the UYI era.  Not that there's anything I can do about it, but I'd hate to be passed over becuase I've only been a member for a few months...

I can certainly get whatever the limit is - I only need two for the 15th - and will gladly post any extras if I manage to get ahold of them...any particular thread I should post extra tickets in, assuming I get them?

I'm new here but I'll gladly give someone face value tickets if I have extra.

i'm pretty sure illusionone's list is going down the toilet if the presale is arranged... Are we all going to still try to get tickets if everyone already has them?

EDIT: If we are, are we going to do it through presale?

Wow, it is pandemonium on this board!!! And it's going to get even crazier! I will get 2 tickets for the May 15 show, and I have already booked the time off work. Would also settle for 1 ticket if need be. Hopefully they will come up with a relatively fair way to handle the presale.

Thanks mysteron and those associated with GNR for suggesting this, it is such a cool idea and it will be a truly memorable night for everyone in attendance.

I think the list may be a contingency plan in case the presale either doesn't pan out, or if all of us can't get tix. I will get the tickets anyway i can, and if i have extras they will be here for face value. I plan on attending the 17th.

I conclude that Mysteron is the man.  I hope that everything works out for all.

We just need to wait and see what the plan is first. Once it is determined exactly how many tickets are available for presale and how many people plan to buy them, we can decide how to proceed with the various lists. The good thing about presale is that once it's over a thread could be set up for anyone else who still needs a ticket when they go on sale to the general public.

Hey at least GNR fans finally have something positive to be crazy about!

Kyle

If I'm able to get extra Tix I'll help out and vice versa.  I am so glad to see people coming together to help each other   :beer:  Nothing would be better than a ballroom full of gunners from the boards

You just gotta have faith-a-faith-a-faith, err, a little patience.  (Oops, wrong board! j/k)

When I get to work in the morning, I'm gonna put in to have both days off and pray that I get to go to one of them. I'm obviously wanting to go to the 15th show, the energy will be mind blowing, but I'd settle for the 17th. I've got to get this worked out. I'm a 20 year old poor guy, working an 8 to 5 job that lives in a small Kentucky town, I've got to get enough money in a months time to fly to New York, get a cab, go the show, spend the night in a cheap hotel, and fly back to KY the next morning. Sounds like a reality show. Pray for me...

An official pre-party will also be in the works for Monday starting tommorow for all HTGTH users..... I'm going to do my best to find us all a bar that will let us have our own section and jam out to Guns N Roses music from noon-6pm. :peace:

Agreed.  However we get tickets, the important thing is that we get them and keep them in fans' hands.

We might get in trouble if we play the leaks though :(

Ill be able to get the max of 4 for the 15th and i only need 2 of them so if anyone wants to work somethin out where we watch each others back to make sure we get tix like illusionone's list says let me know via pm and we can exchange contact info to make it happen...this is of course if the presale doesnt pan out or we still cant swoop some up


Thanks,
Kyle

If not, they'll sell for hundreds of dollars and that will suck.  Just a suggestion, if I go I'm driving in.  Grand Central Trains will probably stop running before the show is over.

In lieu of the leaked tracks, may I be so inclined as to suggest playing Axl's infamous "a$$hole song" from the '02 Tour?

I doubt it. ;)

i need 3 for either show and live in jerzee (25 min from NYC) so will deff be goin if i get. please help a fellow gunner out.  dont be fooled by my lack of postage im on gnr forums reading everyday i just dont like expressing my thoughts.  thx if u can mysteron.

I know this is off topic, but if any of you are tool fans I have the new song "vicarious" in its entirety if you want it. I think it will hit radio sometime in the next week.

Back on topic..

Only 30 days until we see Guns n Roses!!! : ok:

I'd graciously take 2 tickets for either show. ?

The 15th would make it easier with work but beggars can't be choosers.

I hope that works out :)

Im 100% going. I need two for the 15th  :)

I would love 3 tickets, to the show on the 15th please.

maybe a two ticket limit on the presale would do some good

Any way that would give me another opportunity to get two for my GF and I for either show is greatly appreciated!

2 tix to one of the shows would be great. Don't really care which one. Thanks!

this is an important point. i'm under the impression that a few people on the list will not be trying.

for this to work, EVERYONE needs to do everything in their power to get tix.

i have 8 other friends/family trying for tix. and i trained a few this weekend on the quickest way to get through online.  :hihi:

if any get them, they are giving them all to me. and i am going by myself (not including all the board members i hope to meet that night). so all the remaining tix will be distributed to board members on this site.

i am dying just to hit one of these shows. if i am lucky enough to score a ticket for each, that would be great too.

right everyone on the board if they can afford more than they need should try and buy the max to help everyone out.

i live in nyc and am 100% going..  i need two tickets... thanks for any help.. i'll be trying to get them when they go on sale on the 21st too.. obviously if i can get tickets.. i'll take them so the tickets for the board can go to someone else..   thanks again... i got tickets for pearl jam through the fan club about seven years ago.. they gave us sixth row for about forty bucks.. the show was unreal.. this is great idea to help out the die hards..

I am going to try and get two tickets somehow and then drive down from Vermont for a show. Be cool to meet up with a bunch of others from this board.

definatly, otherwise people are going to get 4 or whatever and some people might not be able to go. Two is enough.

I can only speak for myself when I say that I will be doing everything in my power to get 4, my girlfriend 4 for the public sale, and we will distribute any remaining appropriately, even if we get 2 in the presale.

exactly. no one should have any concerns of getting "stuck" with extras. i will bail out anyone with extras, and there's plenty of others on this board that would help as well.

and another important point.....if anyone is lucky enough to land presale tix, please continue to try to get tix for others on this board on friday. we need to help out all the die hards.

If i can get 2 in the presale ill still be online at 9:55am on Friday waitin to try and get 4 more to hook people up so no one misses out on the oppurtunity. ?Ill do this on the hopes of tickets ending up in the hands of real fans for no more than I pay for them instead of someone tryin to make a profit off them

Kyle

no one will get stuck, that is a  given

Thats a gaurantee if there ever was such a thing.  Look how high the demand is for these tickets just on this board....they literally could be sold out in a matter of seconds.  People will want extras if others have them.  I am going to try to get as many as possible to share the wealth with other board members.

Man I hope you guys are right.  ;D

Put me down for what creps said.? I'll be coming from Minnesota and am definitely down for the pregame and postgame activities.?

me too

Will there be a new thread for this when the details are worked out.  Sounds Pretty cool.

As to this thread I hope the presale works out- already purchased plane tickets (as I suspect many others have as well) . This show is going to be sick.

I will definitely get the max number of tickets that I can. Of course I'll then graciously give out all but 2 of them at face value to anyone on this board who needs them. Everyone should try to do the same (assuming you have the money for it)

id love to get 2 tix for the 17th

PLEASE count me in for at least 3 tickets for either show...preferably the 17th...THANK-YOU!!!!

I am Definitly Going to both shows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Put me down for the max qutas for each show. Beit 2 per or 4, Im set to buy! : ok: :beer:

And Im am totally up for the renting a bar for a few hours before the shows. Willb emighty insane and awesome expierience. Hell I told my GM today that I would not be able to attend a mandatory meeting at 9am on firday, cause till I saww this thread tongiht, getting tix for this show seriously is more important to me than the job. BUt he was cool. And understood.

Already put this on the other NYC thread, but thought I'd try here too:

For anyone who is very familiar with New York or who lives there, can you recommend a few places to stay? I have been told that hotel rates in New York are insane, and I have seen some evidence of that on the web. Any ideas for cheaper rooms? Is there a college or university renting rooms, things like that? Perhaps there are places much cheaper in New Jersey or something that can be reached by taking a 24-hour subway or bus. Not talking about sleazy or dangerous places, just something reasonably priced.

honestly, just go to a bar or find a place to chill after the show. then just head to the airport straight from there.

Otherwise, sell your house.

Thats my plan , this plastic is gonna burn a hole in my skin soon , its allready for this.

Hi, my name is Dave.  Sorry that this is my first post- I should have been on this board long ago but have mainly stuck to lurking.  I don't expect you to trust me, but I hope that you do when I say that I am not a scalper.  I would give anything to get two tickets to one of these shows.  I am a younger fan that never got to see the original band but I thought I was finally going to get to see axl in Philly( in fact, I still have the online printout from the tickets cause I scored amazing seats well after they went onsale), but everyone knows how that turned out, and I'm not complaining because I know a lot of other cities got straight cancelled, but the fact that I had tickets for both shows and having to listen to Mix Master Mike for an hour and a half was a bit  tough to handle.  One way or another, I hope to get tix, but I would appreciate it if I could get in on a presale if there is one.  If it helps my chances at all, I can recommend a great bar somewhat close to Hammerstein that has has $3 drafts (cheapest I've found in NYC).  Hope you'll have mercy on me cause I truly am a fan and don't know what else I could say to prove as much and the tickets would be much better off in my hands as I walk in amazement into Hammerstein than in the hands of some scalper tryin to get $200 or more for them like on ebay.

Seriously, if for some reason I don't score tix to either night, and anyone from outta town has an extra, there will be a free place to crash at my apt. on my couch if they can sell me a ticket at face value.

If not, I would recommend to you out of towners looking into hostels in NYC.  I know there are a few in decent neighborhoods and they are MUCH cheaper then anything you'll find hotel wise.  If all you're looking for is a place to crash for the night you're prob better off looking into that option.

This one is up near Columbia University I think, not the BEST area in NYC, but certainly not a "dangerous" one...if you cab it from the show and get dropped off right in front of the YHA you should be fine.  This place looks enormous and every HI-YHA hostel I've ever stayed at has been awesome.  Plus, the price for a room (rooms start at $29) will be MUCH lower compared to any other hotel you look at.  They also offer GROUP discounts I think if a bunch of you guys get together and want to make a reservation.

My wife and I are flying up.

I'm in for two, that is all we need.

Thanks for the help!

please put me down for two tickets for may 17th!  I've been dieing to see GNR ever since i was at the Philly show 02!  I am 100% going! all I need is the tickets!

I'm going to try like hell to get them online when they go onsale, but would love to get 2 somehow! 

Thanks!

Damn, I live in NYC, and know it's going to be hard to get these!

I need two tickets for the last show if possible or the 1st!

Yes Sir I am going for sure with a friend of mine! All the way from Toronto!

Please help a Canadian out. ACC show was amazing when i saw them in Toronto Canada!

Thank you very much Mysteron, I mean if you do this wow. So amazing. I hope us Heretoday people wear our t shirts! and stuff!

100% THERE if I can get tickets (preferrably to the show on the 15th for work reasons, but I'll take whatever I can get)? ;D?

I'm coming from LA-- anyone else??

Mysteron, you are my hero? :love:? Thanks!

it's official the 3000 seater will be all htgth fans :hihi:

so where's the if you didn't get a ticket meet people at what bar to buy em? :smoking:

I've got a reservation at the chelsea star hotel in a 8 person dorm room. its only 30 u.s a night and its only like two blocks from the show. Yea you've got sleep in a dorm room, but i plan on having a couple pints after the show and passing out, then being up at dawn to check out new york...

Great idea! i'll take at least 2 tickets. 4 would be awsome! :beer:

forget the four tix, 1 or 2, i'll be happy.

how funny would that be if the shows get canceled !!??








not funny actually.

Cant wait to apply, I will definitely go if given the opportunity. Seen them in the 80s, 90s and now the 00s.

Are there any more details on the process? : ok:

I have thought about this a lot.. I thought at first this was a rumor the warm up shows.. The problem is any other band you can check their website to see everything the band is up to.. I know the venue can list it, or someone can say they emailed the management, but I like things official.. Usually a band member at least will speak of the upcoming shows,,

you guys can check that adress

The upcoming shows are legitimate and confirmed. The pre-sale details will be announced whenever more information comes.

The ticket limit will be four tickets per show.

That means you can by yourself+three others tickets to see Guns N Roses if you wish for both dates. :peace:

Hopefully, by this afternoon we'll get all the specifics of when the tickets will go on pre-sale and what site we'll have to go to so we can purchase them. : ok:

Woke up this morning sick to absolute $h!t, hoping the pre-sale announcement today will speed me towards recovery.  Ahh, didn't really want to go to work, anyway...  :drool:

I would also like 1 ticket for 5-15 since my flight arrives at noon. :hihi:

I'm interested for either date. Mon or Wed. I imagine the Wed show will be the best since they will have one under their belt but beggars can't be choosers. :peace:

I think it's max. two per show....

you're the man bro.   : ok:  what a great evening would be for all us gunners to meet, share our "WAR" stories (pun intended), and throw back a few.  plus, imagine 3600 die-hard gn'r fans all in the room (if we sell this mother out during the board pre-sale) singing together to the likes of "Better" and "Estranged"  :beer: :smoking: : ok: :peace:

Hmmm, I was told different, but whatever it turns out to be........ :beer:

Definitely going.

I've got a ticket for me arragned already.  I've got some friends who are also going to go with me...and need a couple tickets for them for at least one show, and maybe both.

You can now use one of the sticky threads for these discussions.
