Get in the ring motherfuckers!! GN'R in France for the first time since 1993!! That will be one hell of a show!!

http://www.ticketnet.fr/shop/fr/manif.asp?idtier=78768&IdManif=97924&formule=&sid=0Q3XX60BPHK59LWA8K8ERBTMBFTG2D4D

So fucking cool!! I'll do everything to be there 8)

I had a good idea to move next to this arena last year! lol

Yes you're so lucky... Going on foot to see a GNR show is a dream for me (which will never become true... :P).

Count me in brothers and sisters !  : ok:

how much is it ? ??? ?? Cause if it's cheaper Ill go to Paris and skip Graspop :P

Gn'R iN PaRiS ???? :o ;D

We don't know yet how much it will be. Anywhere between 45 and 100 euros I guess (depending on the sections and stuff).

Ok, I think i'll be there, it's a pretty far drive and in the middle of my exams so my parents are gonna go mad but this is a real gnr show :)

3 festivals and 1 show...

Is the show gonna be longer than the festival ?  >:(

So, who's gonna make a bootleg for us?  ;D

I wish I could, but front row with my MiniDV cam, Axl might not like it very much! ;D

"Get that guy outta here! That guy! Gone! Are you listening to me Mr. Security Man? Hand me that cam! Hand me that cam!" lol

You could got a KFC bucket and hide the camera into that!! :hihi:

I think I'm gonna have a customized t-shirt with something like: "GUYS, PLEASE PLAY ESTRANGED!!" (or Dead Horse, or Coma, or something lol)

Are the tickets already for sale?

Can you only pay with credit cards or is there another way? I'd love to go there...

I've got the gear for an audio bootleg, but as I intend to be in the pit, I'm afraid I'll have to pass on this one  :-\


Nope, not yet.

The Dutchies are coming too 8)

I think I'm gonna plan a trip for Paris this summer :beer: Happy to live in Belgium ! Maybe I'll see the band twice this year : ok:

i live near Bercy, i'll be there.
i've never seen Guns since 1992 at Vincennes.

well, i'm a bit surprised, Bercy is a big venue for Guns.

anyway it's a better choice than Z?nith where the sound sucks a lot.

i wonder who will be the first part to fill Bercy...

"The Dutchies are coming too"

Yes!! iam coming with Kiki and i think some others : ok:




Rir 5,Graspop,Paris :beer:

and axl will look and laugh and say sorry "that's a little  dated, buddy" :hihi:

Because Think About You, Out Ta Get Me, etc. were not? lol ;D

fuck that, give me twat or bette :P

Those will probably be on the setlist anyway.

all Chinese Democracy i suppose, or at least 8-9 new tracks + 5-6 oldies.

no news about the first part of the gig ?

Excellent de la bombe baby !
SO Cool ! i'm gonna be there!

Iam searching for a place to sleep in Paris.....maybe by a member off this board?

for KIKI and Ed and me (Gunnershome)  maybe some1

3/4 persons.... only a place to sleep floor is good....some food nice and a blondgirl with long legs the end.....hear from you guys tanks alot!

true, true

but as axl said in Boston in 2002 on this subject: "No shit motherfucker-godamn-thats part of the point of some of em ya know?'' :hihi:

count an extra 2 :

me and my companion ( fuck fuck fuck, pot of glue is coming grrrrrrrrrrr  :rant: :rant: :rant:)

I'l be there, thats 5 shows for me. I wonder which board members going to the most? We should have a prize for the winner. And a 'Guess the setlist' competition and the one that gets it most right wins something. A HTGTH Shirt or something.

PARIS Say:  Bienvenue En arri?re GNR

I'm afraid you're not making any sense, mate  ;D

I know

Welcome back GN'R? lol There's no literal translation in French. ;)

When do the tickets go on sale? ive been checking every day on the ticket site. Cant miss out on this

It hasn't been announced yet.

it's been 14 years of silence (almost) 14 years of pain ( that's for sure); 14 years that are gone forever ( got old now) and that we'll never have agaaaaa iiii n..

it was a musical desert

Add me to the list, i'm going.
I'll skip Graspop, the line up just doesn't do it for me, maybe i'm getting too old  ;)

Pandora,Will.....how can i get my camera in for taping the show? can you guys/girls help me with that? maybe friends who work there or any buildings where i can make put the camera?....its a 3ccd cam so shot wil be very nice : ok:

We'll try to work on that. I'll let you know.

Official press release (in French):

(http://gnrfrance.net/GNR/Photos/Concerts/20060620popb/comm560.gif)

Tickets will go on sale on March 20.

I personnally don't have any connections in that venue. Good luck to bring a video camera in, though. Depending on the shows, they can frisk you more or less thoroughly, and sometimes they use metal detectors. Even the thought of bringing in my gear for an audio bootleg freaks me out  :nervous:

I guess it says the opening acts are Avenged Sevenfold and Bullet For My Valentine?



/jarmo

Yep.

don't know these band at all.
is it good ?

Audio is no problem at all? ;D special stuff for that...but the cam is big,,,,we will look at that when we arrive..

A7X is very good, I like them a lot, espescially their 'Waking the Fallen' album is fantastic!

Most of the members are fan of GN'R: often they wear GN'R shirts on stage...

Their touring europe at the moment, they're playing the intro of Paradise City as part of one of their songs.

could anyone from france help me out with a few answers to these questions please, im travaling from the uk

could they recomend any hotels close to the arena?
how far is the arena from the airport?
would the eurostar and then a conecting train be better to get to bercy?

thanks to anyone who can help

begsy

thx, i listened to them on their websites (the two bands)...well...it's basic heavy metal
...strange choice for a "modern" Guns N'Roses...

A7X are MASSIVE GNR Fans.

June 20th is a tuesday...hopefully my AS exams will be over by then and I don't mind missing a day of school to go to Paris.

begsy, check you pm's :)

I would love to go but I don't think I could actually afford it... Not to rain on the parade, but what if the show gets cancelled at the last minute ?

Well since this is not a festival i guess you get the money for your ticket back, only not for the extra costs.
And ofcourse not the costs for hotel, travelling etc.

I'll buy a ticket for the gig.

If shit happens and I don't make it, I'll probably find someone to sell it...

But so far Lisbon and Madrid (if it happens, I'll be there anyway) are 100% sure.

Hey Kiki..Christos is going to spain,,,why dont we??  :hihi: ...Some1?...5 or 6 shows...whats the deal? ;D

If the Spanish date is an arena, I'm there.

Ah, what the hell, let's do it :P

Well, I've just changed our return tickets from Lisbon to the 30th of May.

This week I'm buying the tickets to Madrid and back and I'll just wait for Madrid to get confirmed.

Worst scenario, if they don't play in Madrid, we'll get to see Madrid with 140 euros.

Hey ho ! i'm in too - I guess Will counted me w/ the rest of gnrfrance and gt members !!!  ;D :beer:

what is the capacity of paris arena???

First post in this thread... :)

I'm also going to be there!

when are the tickets going to be released?

nvm, saw it , 20 march  : ok:

When will we know what time on Monday the tickets go on sale do you think? Or how much?
Or have I just missed something

We won't know before they actually go on sale. Which is probably around 9am online and 10am at ticket booths in stores and stuff.

Prices will likely be around 45 euros. We don't have much information for now, sorry.

Whats the nearest airport to the Paris Bercy and how far away is it?

Well the nearest is Orly but it's mainly for domestic flights. The nearest international is Roissy-Charles de Gaulle (CDG), which is about 45 minutes from Bercy (you take RER line B, you get off at Chatelet and take line 14 to Bercy). RER ticket costs about 10 euros from CDG to Paris. A metro (subway) ticket costs 1.40 euros. More info at www.ratp.info

Cool.

I'm from UK and planning on flying from Gatwick/Heathrow with my brother. Its right after my exams and during school (well...sixth form) so I want to miss as little as possible and see what is possible.

Oh yeah what about the Eurostar? Thats a cheaper option (I think) and its a lot easier. Is the stop in Paris anywhere near the Bercy?

Yeah, don't bother with planes. Eurostar rocks ! It's pretty cheap and fast (2 hours and 45 minutes now). It stops at Gare du Nord, which is not exactly close to the venue, but from there you only have two subway lines to take, it's not too bad !

Cool sounds good.

How much would these subways cost? Are they dangerous? And how much is the alternative of a taxi?

Like I said a subway ticket is 1.40 euros. You need only one ticket to go to Bercy even if you need to change lines. As long as you don't come out of the subway, you don't need a new ticket. Yes subway is pretty safe, but Paris is a big city. I mean, you can have problems like in any other big city in the world. Try to travel with a friend that's always better, or try to gather with other fans... ;)

A taxi fare would cost about 15-20 euros to Bercy (one way).

This is our Hotel in Paris... : ok:

More info about this show (for Jarmo to add on the site lol): http://www.fnacspectacles.com/ficheManifestation.do?codman=GUNS
Tickets will be between 39.80 (floor and unreserved seats) and 67.30 euros (higher price for the best reserved seats). Tickets will go on sale on March 20 at 10am local time (GMT+1).

And it will be possible for people outside France to order tickets of course...unlike in certains countries...::)

Damn thats bad for me. I will have to rely on my brother to get the tickets on monday morning. Thats bad because its 1.30pm now and hes still not awake :S. Oh well. I take it this is an all-seated arena?

nope. floor is a huge pit. and we're gonna mosh :)

OK Good luck to all of you tomorow with the tickets,GO get them @!! : ok:

Tickets are on sale now. Go go go !  : ok:

It's on sale here too now :
http://www.francebillet.com/ficheManifestation.do?codman=GUNS

Try both sites because they depend from two different networks and you might obtain different results.

Either standing or on the balcony (rafters).

Golden square and cat. 1 seem to be already sold out on Ticketnet.

HURRY UP MOFOS!!

It's almost sold out!! 2400 floor tickets left...

i got my tickets...cat2, dunno what that means....but i'm there

almost sold out, fucking shit!!

Will je te l'avais dis, m?me en France, le groupe peut remplir le parc ou le stade de France.

I got tickets too, cat 1. Just in time it seems.

2200 floor tickets (cat2) left and none of the others!

Got myself one floor ticket and a good seat just in case...loool ;D

To check out how fast it's selling: http://www.ticketnet.fr/shop/fr/dispo.asp?idtier=78768&IdSeanc=567305&IdNatCl=1&IdManif=98388&sid=FQ248WVJWT5G8N7KPQD07HVLCERPDR5B

2163 floor tickets left.

got mine on fnac.com.
wow it sells very fast...

FYI, it was on sale around 9:30am on ticketnet.fr and GN'R fans got their server on its cha-na-na-na-na-knees... ;D They were out for a few minutes there.

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but you have to take into account that a lot of the tickets were bought in advance by companies who then sell them to their staff at a discount price. At least half of the tickets were gone that way I would say. So it's not only the general public that bought all those tickets so fast.

YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!

Two tickets booked!!! only had the 57 euro tickets left when i rang!!!!

I don't think half of 17,000 tickets were bought by "C.E"s...If that's the case, I would like to know the source for that information. :) It's true CEs in France buy a lot of tickets, but I would say they maybe have 3,000, not many more...

i've just seen the venue (the 360 degrees picture) and it looks to me very similar to the Ahoy in Rotterdam. P.O.P is slightly bigger but because it's so similar i was wondering if we could expect a special section at the front of the stage...in Ahoy they don't have that...so i thought they also won't have it in P.O.P.

I saw Iron Maiden at Bercy in 2003, are you sure that it only holds 17.000 people? Cause it looked much bigger to me at the time...

I got tickets "category 2" ..it is the floor,isn't it?Do you have a bercy "map" ?

I was gonna buy one but I won't risk getting the worst seats in the venue.

I'd like to get a standing ticket but if it doesn't happen I won't fly to Paris to see a show from the top of the world.

I'd rather get one from Ebay, pay a bit more, and make sure it's a standing ticket.

yeah it's floor
i got same tickets.
it's gonna rock :)

Standing (floor tickets) are available: 39.80 euros. They're called Cat. 2 (Cat?gorie 2).

Plus, it was selling very fast at first so they're adding more floor tickets. Now about 2300 available.

"Half" is just a guess by me. I don't have a source for that. But there are hundreds of CEs in France, and they buy maybe approx 30 tickets each. You do the math. When I see that I arrived so early I could get golden square tickets but seats in the wings (closest to the scene) were unavailable, my conclusion is that they were never made available, ie they were reserved. If you add tickets from the other categories as well, that's a hell of a lot of tickets.
It kind of pisses me off that non-hardcore fans will get the best seats, and at a discount price to boot, but I guess there's not much I can do about it....

Good Carr? Or seats were available at fnac.com (first row, close to the stage), but later on...That's so dumb... ::) They put up the good seats after the opening sale...

Great, now that I wanna buy the damn ticket I see that my credit card has been fucked up by the expenses of the trip to Lisbon...  >:(

I bought mine on Ticketnet, and the carr? d'or is not really close to the stage in terms of angle. Strangely enough, they seem to have positioned it center side. There are better seats than that in the wings.
What do you mean by "good seats" exactly? Do you remember what section it was (non carre or seats I mean)?

OK. The problem is that the number of the row doesn't really mean shit if the angle is bad. That's why I was asking about the section. The best sections are O and F (each side of the stage). And they were never put on sale.

After a bit of research, it seems that a handful of people managed to get tickets in the O and F sections, but not in the first few rows apparently.
The thing is, I panicked a little when I took mine, so I didn't really take the time to check my section and my row. All I saw was an approximate positioning on the map. I figured carr? d'or tickets could only be good. Now I'm looking forward to receiving them to know where I'll be located exactly  ;D

Good work @!! we are going to Paris!! (KIKI,Some1,Ed,Nightfall,Gunnershome)

dont forget sampie  :hihi: (my screenname on Dutchdemocracy)

Pandora, I just a saw a 0 19 41 on ticketnet.fr. I've seen quite a few O sections on fnac.com this morning... ;)

What does 19 41 mean?  ???  I mean, 19 is row 19 I suppose, but 41?  Anyway, I already have my carr? or tickets, I'm not changing now. Plus I need two contiguous seats for me and my bf  :-\

41 is the location of the seat. Section O, row 19, seat 14. ;) But yeah it was only one seat. :(

Are the floor tickets still available?

yeah 2300 left...

Yeah, they keep adding floor tickets...I should have the first figures tonight.

Got mine  ;D (I think...)

Anyways, whoever on this board said tickets went on sale at 10AM CET is a lying bastard!  :P

 : ok: rock on. I got the cheapest ticket (according to my bro who bought em)

Even though I'm not the one who said it, tickets did go on sale at 10 AM on fnac.com. Nothing was said about ticketnet.fr....

I said GMT+1. On fnac.com they did.


Don't try me... ;D

Ordered 2 tickets - for me and my gf. Hope they will deliver them to me in Latvia  :smoking:

Lol I told my bro to be up at 9am GMT to get them (10AM CET) from Ticketnet.fr and he says "They've been on sale for an hour already and theres only a few thousand left".

Sorry, I shouldn't be so negative. IVE GOT MY TICKET  :beer:

Ticketnet.fr was supposed to go on around 10am too (even though they didn't give any official timeframe) but they started around 9:20am...

Woo im psyched.

My first GN'R gig. Better be a good one... : ok:

pourquoi la cat or and la cat 2 ont elles autant de diff  de prix ? sur le dessin, meme sil elles sont oppos?es ,je ne vois pas ce qui justifie la diff?rence de prix ???


HELP

Carr? Or are closer to the stage and lower. Cat. 2 are far away and in the upper rows...also, Cat. 2 includes floor tickets, which obviously aren't seats.

i get the message that the show is sold out : ok:

who gives you the message? are you sure it's sold-out? because there are still lots of tickets available....

You can still order tickets on both ticketing systems: http://www.ticketnet.fr/shop/fr/manif.asp?idtier=78768&sid=F8DRAM284KD09HNAJCH4JFCTFKBJFFME&IdManif=98388&IdSeanc=567305 and http://www.fnacspectacles.com/processreservation/disponibilite.do?codman=GUNS&seance=0

It seems than less than 5.000 tickets has been sold since yesterday for the Paris show in all the country... well done Merck and "Nousproduction", I think they all should return to school and get Marketing Lessons. Where is the promotion around this show?

when i was searching for tickets... on ticketnet.fr i got the same message 3 times, that it was sold out. this was around 9.00.

now he can't process my order....

and again i get this message:

Take Care !?
This show is sold out.

Click here to modify of your current reservation.

Thank you
 
*another edit* i've tried searching for all 3 options and just 1 or 2 tickets...and everytime i got these messages... don't know what's going on...

Maybe because you're trying to get seats and not floor tickets: http://www.ticketnet.fr/shop/fr/dispo.asp?idtier=78768&IdSeanc=567305&IdNatCl=1&IdManif=98388&sid=LX3R2U6SGTQC9HDFTCKSBMF7NLWE7421

Seats are unavailable from time to time (they keep adding some).

Do you known how much is far away the Beauvais airport from Paris? Thanks? :beer:

Quite far, but there are buses that transfer you to the Porte Maillot of Paris. It's 13 ? for a one-way ticket.

By car it's about 80km (50 miles), so about 1hr. 20min.: Detailed map here (http://www.viamichelin.fr/viamichelin/fra/dyn/controller/ItiWGPerformPage?E_wg=210506081lS18J406080145911474015ITIWG4m11133fra004a112l1018101112100v11041424000bYmVhdXZhaXM000011000121410110y100r110414240007cGFyaXM00001100012010010072006080039.004-1.00110001001001001001001003fra011011&stat=ambiguous_iti&pim=true&dtmDeparture=null&strStartChoice=0&strDestChoice=0&x=20&y=18).

You can add me to the list. Got my tickets.? 8)

I'll probably fly with Ryanair and the fly will arrive at Paris Beauvais at 14:35.The gates at Bercy will open at 18:30..I think I'll be in time? :P ...now I start to study the map..many many thanks guys,you are all very kind!!!? ?: ok:? :beer:

Is this show now sold out?

Is this show now sold out?

No, not even close.

Unfortunately Rock music is quite marginal here. France is not a country where Rock music is popular like in sweeden or in the UK. Plus, there is no promotion. There are a very, very few articles about the gig and most of them are trash. They trash Axl and say "Slash is not here anymore, it sucks, don't go to the show you will be desapointed".? Sometimes there are some positive comments, but they are just small tiny mentions. I'm afraid of the lack of promotion and of the global negativity (for the momment). I hope it will change...

I bet tickets will be gone before you think.

I still don't have the official figures...

I think it will be sold-out by the time the gig happens in june. But it won't be sold-out in the next couple of days, not even weeks.

Awesome. How big is he capacity for this venue in Paris?


I booked my trip, now waiting to receive my ticket.

17 000  ;) :)

When are the tickets being issued?

Since monday. Some people already got theirs.

I won't be there... you can take me off the list

Hell yeah!  8)
My tickets just arrived from France. Waiting for me at local post office.
The problem is, that I messed up my VISA and had to use my girlfriends one. Now I have to wait till the weekend when she'll come to my place and take them from post office, because the tickets were orderded with her name.
See ya all in Paris  :smoking:  :smoking:

i got mine too

My tickets don't arrive yet... :no: ..I bought them last monday 20...I'm a little nervous..? :-\ (maybe too much? :P !!)

Got the tickets!

Ok Nightfall!

My tickets arrived yesterday!!!See you in Paris!!? :beer:

got my tickets through the post 2 days ago : ok:

I'm having a hard time trying to buy the tickets..... the website is in French and it's impossible for me to understand anything they're saying there!!
Can anyone help?!? :-\

you can change the language to english. In the right corner there's a little english flag.

: ok: Got it!
Jarmo can add us to the List now..... we'll be there!!!! :beer:

Does anyone have any idea of what hotel they're gonna stay at in Paris???

Flying into Paris from Toronto on the 17th, spending a few days, then it's GNR on the 20th... 

Any other Canadians going to be in attendance? 

Add me to the list of people from this board coming.  I've been a member for awhile, just rarely post.

I think after Rio, you'll see a big surge of ticket sales.  Smart way to start a tour in my opinion, even if the itinerary is all over the map following.

Cheers,

Andrew

I will be there too. Of course.

About the idea of having a rock party dedicated to GN'R in Paris: I told some of you about this a couple of weeks ago. For now, nothing is 100% sure, but I am trying to make it happen.
It wouldn't be an aftershow party, since it wouldn't be the day of the concert. Maybe the following friday: 23/06/2006.
There would be 2 dancefloors: one would be more "old school" and the other would be more modern.
There would be flyers around several weeks before, so it would also help promoting the concert and GN'R comeback in general.

Just got ma ticket! see you all there  :beer:

How about doing it a few days before the concert? It'll actually promote the concert and draw more attention to it...... just a thought!

this show is near to be soldout,only 800 tickets left in seller

rock party ? come on guys. let's go clubbin' :)

I heard still over 3000 tickets left in sellers...

www.ticket.fr

after that find gnr show,after that go to book a tickets,and just type to buy one ticket(with high price),after that you can see how many tickets available

Now 779 tickets left

Marcela, that's what I wanted to do. At first, I tried to see if I could do it on the 16th... But eventually, it will be the 23rd.

I am not doing it by myself. I have people doing it for me in a club in the center of Paris.

But don't worry: There will be around 12000 flyers that will be printed, and I have insisted that thoses flyers should promote the party AND THE CONCERT. I have been very clear about that. I am trying to have the whole thing as cheap as possible for the fans (entrance and drinks at low prices), so the flyers won't be luxurious. But they will be floating around in rock bars, music shops etc...
I will not make any money off that thing, and you probably won't see my name on the flyer (except maybe as a "special guest" since I would be one of the djs...).

: ok: I hope I can be there but I doubt it.... I think we're coming back from Europe on the 21st!
Have lots of fun you guys!!! :beer:

When are they gonna start shipping the tickets? Does anyone know?

Where did you order yours from? I ordered from both ticketnet and francebillet and have received them all. Ticketnet was particularly fast.

Well..... I bought them at ticketnet.fr.
I checked and it says it was shipped already : ok: Thanks!!

Okay, I've just bought my ticket.

Man, I'm ... well I don't know. There ain't no words :peace:

But you live in Brazil, right Marcela? That's why it's taking a long time (if I'm correct about your location - maybe you moved to the States I don't remember - in that case it takes a long time too).

Yeah I still live in Brazil but my fiance is american so the tickets are going to the US. : ok:
He actually said that yesterday he got a note saying that there was something he had to pick up at the post office. I'm hoping it's the ticktes!!
We'll see!!? :beer:



PS: Will, check the Dublin section and tell us your preferences there : ok:

now only in CAT2 ticket are avaible... 681 tickets
carre or and cat1 are sold out

Got the tickets yesterday  : ok:
See you all there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :beer:

Unfortunately I'm not going to Paris.

I got one ticket I need to sell cause I'm going to Germany to watch the gig with the Rolling Stones.

If anyones wants it from here I'll hold it until next Friday, that is one week. Until May 12.

After that day I'll sell it on Ebay for it's price plus s&h.

so,ething wierd with it,now 1143 tickets available at cat2

For those who might be interested in a rock party dedicated to GN'R, it will definitely happen. June the 23rd.

I am not organizing it. I just convinced the owner of an underground rock/alternative club to do it, and I would be one of the djs, as a "special guest", as they say...
Unfortunately, I couldn't do it exactly as I wanted it to be: I wanted it to be free, but the entrance will cost 10 Euros. I am not making any money off this thing, but the organizers, the team and the owner of the club have to be paid. So sorry: it wasn't possible to make it free as I wanted it to be. It is as cheap as it can be in Paris.

There would probably be a local band playing around the begining of the party. And there would be 2 dancefloors.

GN'R music would be played on both levels.
But there would be a dancefloor that would be more rock/heavy/industrial/alternative where I'll play plenty of GN'R songs (not only the hits like Jungle, SCOM, You could be mine, It's so eay etc... but some food  for the hardcore fans like Right Next Door To Hell or Oh My God). And the second dancefloor would also feature some post-punk, new wave, and gothic stuff (for the regulars of the club).

There will be probably around 200-250 persons...

The flyers (which will annonce not only the party but also the concert) should be ready very soon. Nothing spectacular, really, but hundreds (if not thousands) of people will hear of GN'R comeback this way...

If board members want to come, just pm me, and I'll give more informations...

Will, can I send you a private message to tell you more?

www.ticket.fr presenting a GNR reunion :o :
"Ils se sont reform?s apr?s que chacun se fut lanc? dans des aventures musicales diff?rentes."

prob based on that CNN report....

Looking for gold circle tickets ( 2) .

Will pay them the price you bought them, no more. Have two tickets lower cat, so not desperate. Do not intend to pay extra money unless fees to send it to me ( mail fees).

Je cherche 2 places OR pour bercy, je ne paierais pas un euro suppl?mentaire que le prix auquel ils ont ?t? en vente.
j'ai d?j? mes places, donc pas desesp?r?e. Frais d'exp?dition ? ma charge si besoin.


Merci. Thanks.

Ok, but I prefer emails (on my site, Interaction > Site).
Wouldn't it make more sense to organize this before the show?

I would like to know if the people who are purchasing tickets on www.ticket.fr thinking that the original line-up is playing, will have the right to start a riot when they'll notice that it's not the case.

I would understand it.

No, but they have the right to fuck off because that would mean they were idiots in the first place.

I will personnally beat the crap out of anyone who tries to start a riot.

Sorry Pandora, but it is not correct to sell tickets doing this kind of publicity.

That's a fraud.

I don't see what kind of publicity you're talking about. Nothing has been said publicly, just baseless rumours.

FORGET IT GUYS

I have bought two goldcircle this morning, they have put out extra tickets !!

thank you :love:

"Ils se sont reform?s apr?s que chacun se fut lanc? dans des aventures musicales diff?rentes."
That's how www.ticket.fr (or the promoters of the show) are presenting the band on the site.
Please, check it out !

Oh, but then it's the people who write for that website that are incompetent. Those are the ones disgruntled fans should riot against  :hihi:

"Incompetent" is not the right word, because they know there is no reunion.

"Fraud" is the right one.

Yeah, whatever. Anyway you put it, it's not the band's fault and they shouldn't have to pay for it.

I e-mailed to Merck about this fraud a couple of days ago. He said "Thanks".

We can't say that the band isn't aware of this now... OK ?

The news in france today report that the Da vinci code attracts so many people into town that most hotels are booked weeks in advance.

EVEN PALACES LIKE THE RITZ have special " da vinci code" offers.

Meaning :

Palaces are close to being full.


Everyone make sure your bookings are done.

so even royalty are taking advantave and taking bookings

sorry had to do that i know you meant Places

Thanks for the tip, but I'm not sure if I'm going anymore... 'cause I don't like the set list. :-\

what the fuck?

your not going to go just because you don't like the set list thats the shittest reason ever they are some of the best songs gnr have and its got the new songs, why bother to buy tickets??

No, i meant palaces, 5 star hotels and luxury hotels that do not have the " star" classification.

And royalty rarely goes to the Ritz ( mohamed al fayed being the owner), they usually go to the Plaza Athenee ;) ( sweden does)

whatever the reason..

There are poor Guns fans and rich ones, anonymous and celebs, same for the da vinci code fans.

Tour operators head towards paris, the Cannes Festival opens wit hthe Da Vinci code in a few days, Paris is going to be INVADED until the hype dies down.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ROOMS BOOKED in cheap and luxury hotels.

The Da Vinci Code release and the show are one month apart. I doubt the former will have much impact on the latter.

That being said, Paris is always pretty crowded from June onwards, so making reservations early is always a good idea.....

The news today already report the code impact and the film is not out yet.

So you can bet that it will be mutiplied as soon as the film is out.

Most people love a good " mystery" and tour ops propose the whole thing, st sulpice church, the louvres, the Ritz even ( because part of the action is IN the Ritz)...

oh shit sorry owned :-[

I love men who know how to say sorry, you're not lost for humanity... ;D ;) :-*

Yeah, I booked my hotel some 3-4 weeks ago. My five day trip to Paris will start with a GNR show. Can't wait  :smoking:
I hope Axl won't lose his voice till that  :nervous:


Maybe I should make my own Da Vinci Code tour for me and my gf, while we're in Paris  ;D

Hi Will!

Originally, I wanted to make this party happen before the concert because I wanted to participate in building the excitement for the other fans like me. But in the end it wasn't possible on the 16th like I wanted. So the 23th was the best night I could find to do it. Then again, I am not organizing it. I just convinced people to do it. They are used to organize underground/alternative rock parties and gothic/eletro parties, but they thought it might be a good idea. I had them test it by playing a couple of GN'R songs to the regulars of their clubs and it worked, so they decided to trust me on this one. Wich is cool, because it shows how GN'R have credibility again after all these years when people didn't want to believe in them anymore. All the true fans know what I mean: it wasn't always easy to stand up by the band during these years of silence, but I am glad I have always done it no matter what.
On the 23th, there should be different types of music played. Maybe a rock band will plau at the begining, but I don't know: it is not in my hands... What I can tell for sure is that there will be one dancefloor totally dedicated to GN'R and rock music. On the second dancefloor, apart from GN'R, they might also want to play some post-punk, 80's, dark stuff for the regulars of the club, but I am not totally sure...

Anyway, I'll send you an e-mail mainly to invite you if you want to come...

PS: I saw you helped the magazine "Rock Hard" for their article about GN'R... That's really cool! You're  a true dedicated fan!

give us a shout if you have a problem  ;)

Hey, thanks  :)

Since this trip and GN'R show is a present for my gf, I'm in charge of thinking about tours and things to do in Paris. It would be nice if I could contact you sometime before my trip and you could tell me about some nice places to see and go (the ones that most tourists don't know).  Anyway, I booked our hotel in Monmarte. Not because it's cheaper, but I don't know other neighbourhoods so well and I liked it very much, when I was in Paris some 2 years ago  :D

No problem.

By then, make sure you told me about your tastes in general so i can work something out for you two.
There may be things you won't want to see as you have no interest in them. And i'll try and find stuff that most tourists don't know about ( although paris will be crowded everywhere i'm affraid ?)

You will be in Montmartre ? Right. Oki.

if you want to contact me, no problem, but make sure we have worked it out two weeks before you get there because i have a small son and i need to plan things out.

people are we going to organise some kind of meeting before and after the show...i havent heard anything yet, gonna be in paris the 19th so i can do something

so who is going from IRELAND i might go from Dublin ?

The show is in just 7 days. The exitation starts growing, and Izzy will be there? 8)
It will be a big show.

Hi,

I want to Watch the England v Sweden Game before going over to see GNR. Axl Probably wont come on until ten so that gives plenty of time to get there after the game, if there is a decent bar locally.

Is there anywhere near to the stadium that is good for watching Football?

Thanks

Great atmosphere..? 8)
..but? it will be extraordinary next Tuesday!!! ..Paris -6? ? ::)

Yeep, bercy village, nearby, at the Frog Pub or at the Clud Med World ( CMW is where 50 cent has his private party after the concert, i went and it was S H I T E lol..but i like the place)

Ok we will be there.is there any dvd player there? i will take the RAR show with me then.see ya all tomorow

I have a DVD player at home! ;D

Guys, we'll have a meeting near the arena at the bar called le Pataqu?s around 4PM. I'll have a black GN'R t-shirt from the 06 European tour. You'll find us. You can see my pic in the gallery or on my site if needed.

For people asking: yes there will be taxis around the arena but as for every show they will be pretty busy tomorrow night. Yes, Paris is pretty safe, except in the northern suburbs (St Denis, Bobigny, etc.) and northern districts (18th/19th/20th). Other than that, that's cool.

Btw, you'll find live updates tomorrow right here: http://www.gnrfrance.net/gnr/actualites-news-guns-n-roses/actu.htm

I won't be updating the site (I'll be at the show), my friend Lucs will do it. If you insist he will update in English too. ;)

anyone filming the show?

I believe someone from my board is doing it but with this kind of stuff, you never know.

I live in the nothern suburbs ( north east, clichy sous bois/montfermeil proximity)

If anyone needs to be brought back home, tell me will. But i won't be in bercy until 9/9.30pm ( baby care before i go, intructions to the baby sitter, .....)

At least two guys will record it in audio. So there'll be a bootleg for sure 8)

Well heres my review of the france concert.
I was with my friend and we arrived at Bercy at around 5. We proceeded to a local bar and we had an england football top on show to see if any other brits were there......didnt work. Anyhow we went to a bar by bercy and we spoke to some call French guys about GNR for about an hour. They all left by 9:30 but we stayed in the bar to watch England vs sweden.
By half time of the match no soul was left......all have gone into the stadium expecting GNR to start soon
But as ive been to hammersmith (10:40 start) i didnt expect axl to turn up early, so we watched the first half of england sweden before we went to the gig.
The stadium was packed, our seats were not close enough,  i enjoyed the concert but with 4 songs to go I blagged my way into the front by telling the bouncer i was there before! (he didnt dispute! i was let in) I managed to get three rows from the front and got a leg-up and crowd surfed to the front! just 1 meter from axl!
Anyhow..........after the concert ended I went with my friend to where the GNR coaches were. There was tight security. One girl left the compound.....she had a VIP sticker. I asked for it. She said "Have it and see how far it gets you"
So, there I am. In the GNR compound, looking into the coaches to try an see a band member. No one was around...until... I met Good ol Ron Thai. I asked him if he could see my friend Tone. He said "thats cool" and he even shouted "Wheres Tone!" (my friend got his autograph on his T shirt)
I asked Ron why they were so late tonight (10:45) he said that axl was watching England Vs Sweden. (so we could have stayed at the bar for the whole game!!!)
Anyhow, the GNR bouncer clocked me and threw me out...........only for me to get back to the enclosure...but no GNR soul remained.

Richard's solo from Bercy: http://rapidshare.de/files/23837533/14_-_Richard_Fortus_Solo.mp3.html

You weren't the only Brit there  ;)

I kept checking the score during A7X and during the GN'R sound check. You might have also heard me shout BOLLOCKS during one of the solo's because i found out Larsson scored in the last minute  :'(

The best rock magazine in France, 'Rock & Folk', has reviewed gnr's Paris show in the latest issue...

It's a very short article. The new songs have been described as 'square'. :-X
