Title: How Much has the Euro Tour Cost you. Post by: spuddy1 on August 04, 2006, 08:53:15 PM Just wondering how much money, people have spent during the European tour watching GNR eg. fights, accomodation etc. I reckon ive spent a good Grand going to Rock and rio and wembley, but im sure that the likes of Jarmo and the gang can way top that.
Title: Re: How Much has the Euro Tour Cost you. Post by: suzypi on August 04, 2006, 08:54:32 PM too much euro for what it was.
Title: Re: How Much has the Euro Tour Cost you. Post by: jarmo on August 04, 2006, 09:13:17 PM I don't wanna think about it.... :hihi:
Instead I like to think that I'm a better person thanks to all the experiences I've had this summer. You can't put a monetary value on that. /jarmo Title: Re: How Much has the Euro Tour Cost you. Post by: slash666 on August 04, 2006, 09:14:16 PM hmmm about ?100
Title: Re: How Much has the Euro Tour Cost you. Post by: 1badapple on August 04, 2006, 09:17:18 PM i didn't get to go to the Euro tour , but i still managed to spend 40 bucks on it. For a T Shirt :smoking:

You can't put a monetary value on that. jarmo, I don't doubt you for a second. I would like to hear exactly what ways you think you're a better person because of the experiences you had this summer, though. It really interests me. I consider myself a better person after having seen Gn'R three times in NYC, but my reasons are due to personal matters that were more circumstantial than anything else.

Post by: jarmo on August 05, 2006, 07:16:52 AM I would like to hear exactly what ways you think you're a better person because of the experiences you had this summer, though.? It really interests me. Well, seeing your favorite band live eleven times made me a bit happier, that's one thing. ?;) Then obviously I met all kinds of people at the shows. Many from this board and usually you learn from that kind of experiences too. When you travel and see new places, you also tend to learn things. Basically thanks to this tour, I've seen places and met people I wouldn't have otherwise. /jarmo Title: Re: How Much has the Euro Tour Cost you.

I really want a tour t-shirt - hopefully they'll be on sale on the net soon :'( Title: Re: How Much has the Euro Tour Cost you.

Title: Re: How Much has the Euro Tour Cost you. Post by: noGnoG on August 05, 2006, 10:23:45 AM I've seen them three times: Dublin (the best of all 3), Belgium and the Netherlands. It costed me around 1100 euro. But what I got for it was worth every cent! The only bad memory I have is that I didn't see them more times (wish I could have attended one of the UK shows). But I couldn't get more days off from work...

But they did the exact same show each time.... That's what annoyed me about the new band - if you've seen them once you've seen them 1000 times - same songs, same solos - virtually zero crowd interaction - 'oh Beautiful in instrumental form....again' Title: Re: How Much has the Euro Tour Cost you. Post by: yorch on August 05, 2006, 12:47:34 PM 1000?, i went to the 3 dates in spain

Title: Re: How Much has the Euro Tour Cost you. Post by: Thorne on August 05, 2006, 01:35:04 PM 4x Donnington tickets - ?540 (plus lockers ?560)

Couldn't get a refund/exchange. Bought another memory card for the Birmingham gig but it was the wrong bloody size! >:() Title: Re: How Much has the Euro Tour Cost you. Post by: Emilie on August 05, 2006, 01:46:11 PM Well, I got my ticket for free and I live within walking distance from the arena, so my total cost is about 2 euro (a hot chocolate to keep me from freezing to death in the queue...) ;)
I would have paid a lot more though, if I needed to. Title: Re: How Much has the Euro Tour Cost you. Post by: jarmo on August 05, 2006, 03:27:14 PM But they did the exact same show each time.... That's what annoyed me about the new band - if you've seen them once you've seen them 1000 times - same songs, same solos - virtually zero crowd interaction - 'oh Beautiful in instrumental form....again' Wrong. Lisbon: Huge show in a big nice park. First show for me. London: Small famous venue. Electric! Dublin: Daylight show. Download: Bad start, great finish. Stockholm: Great lights +SOS Oslo: Izzy! Nice setlist. Birmingham: Bad security. Nottingham: Asshole in crowd. London: Covers! London: Acoustic. London: Baz saves the day! Are you going to tell me I saw the same show eleven times? I didn't even include the people I met before and after the shows. Which makes each show even more special. Thanks again to everybody who showed up at the bars/pubs and who I met at the venues! It was nice meeting you. :) /jarmo Title: Re: How Much has the Euro Tour Cost you. Post by: erose on August 05, 2006, 04:35:00 PM i've seen them six times on this tour and it has cost me less than a thousand bucks.
thats including lisbon, london, danmark and oslo! i've got a bunch of great memories and all shows have been special in their own way! fuck you till you know what your talking about. this band is not about rippin' anyone off he he it's all about dedication and cordination! and good friends! you should try it sometime...

Dublin - ?50 return flights, ?30 hotel, ?45 ticket, ?20 t-shirt, ?20 food+transport, ?12 train back home from airport Glasgow - ?30 return flights, ?30 transport,?44 ticket, ?20 beer, luckily free accommodation (gd old folks) TOTAL=?300 or so Both gr8 experiences, probably enjoyed Glasgow more as it's my homeland, and the crowd seemed to be all the more nuts! Plus I was down the front and Izzy was there! Dublin was gr8 as I've never been there before, saw Axl out on time(!), and it was my first GN'R gig. And it was a beautiful day(weather and musically) Title: Re: How Much has the Euro Tour Cost you. Post by: The General on August 07, 2006, 04:19:04 AM It has cost more than it should for me : ok:
Title: Re: How Much has the Euro Tour Cost you. Post by: Mr. Nik™ on August 07, 2006, 04:51:00 AM Just wondering how much money, people have spent during the European tour watching GNR well, I watched only one gig, here in Italy, but I spent a lot (relatively): travel from my city to Milan and return (train + car both times), hotel accomodation for two nights, festival ticket, two official GNR shirts, food, beer, drinks (the prices in the festival area were damn high!!)... I didn't make the count.... and I don't want to do!!!! :confused: btw it worth it for sure!!! :peace: Title: Re: How Much has the Euro Tour Cost you. Post by: Where is Hassan Nasrallah ? on August 07, 2006, 05:28:22 AM the only money you should take in consideration are the concert tickets
the rest is just life. travelling, buying drinks, hotels, that's just life. nothing to do with gnr. Title: Re: How Much has the Euro Tour Cost you. Post by: mongis on August 07, 2006, 05:32:53 AM too much

Post by: Albert S Miller on August 07, 2006, 07:22:14 AM With myself husband and two daughters who are 15 and 16 traveling from Seattle to Lisbon for a ten day stay, trip was 10,000. There was no price I wouldn't have paid to see Axl Rose on stage, and to also have met some very awesome people along the way, whom I have listed earlier on. An experience that will never be forgotten, something I will always have to hold on to. It isn't even about the money, and would I do it again? With out a doubt!!! Axl Rose, I love you nearly as much as my husband, but not quite, you were worth it, see yu in Seattle very soon. :love: :peace:
