Originally scheduled for October 5, 2006.

Please keep me informed on this date, I MUST go to this one..

this is amazing!

EDIT: Is there any other information on this show?

Jarmo, I am going, I live 10 minutes from the venue  ;D

I'm there no question

I think the show was moved to Oct 5th. 91X said tickets go on sale Aug 26 (this Saturday).

confirmed October 5

http://www.sandiegoarena.com/event.php?eoid=95

so its not the 3rd then?

I am going

when is the presale?

friday. thats what it says on ticketmaster from 10am to 6pm. San Diego is only a couple of hours aways so im there also  : ok:

read above and you'll get the answer  :P

yeah.... i wonder if thats the presale will get access to or if we have our own presale before the presale

(http://www.sandiegoarena.com/pix/seating/seating.png)

section B row 16.. I must be pretty damn close!

never sat on the floor before!

Anybody have a more detailed map with seat numbers on the floor. Or does anybody know how many seats across each section has on the floor.   

Seats suck

I'm not sure if there is one you're talking about...  but there is a very nice viewing of inside the place on the official site..

www.sandiegoarena.com  then you go to information, then click seating, then at the top of the page, there should be an interactive seating chart..

Thanks, I'll check it out.  Few years back I was at a ticket agency, Premier? I think and they had one.

I was in Sports Arena the other day on the Floor row 18 and it is FAR....they leave too much spave between rows. You are actually much better off in the first couple of rows in the lower lodge by the stage.
I can't remember exactly but I think every floor row has about 60 people.
Well, today during the presale I don't think any of the first 10 row seats were released (feel free to prove me wrong).
I got 11 row dead center, which may sound ok but is actually pretty disappointing. I mean if the harcore fan club people cannot get priviledges to be in the front, then who would? Anyone else deserves better? Anyone else would have more energy to go along with the band?
I highly doubt during the general sale tomorrow there would be better seats available. And as far as I know, the promoting radio stations have only the first row. So, who has rows 2-10 is a mistery to me.

I got row 11 too but to the left of the stage. They're already selling at a ticket agency row 11 on the right for $455 a pop.

So 60 seat accross per section? So seat 47-48 is more toward the middle or more towards the outside?

I don't expect it to be that horrible leatherrebel

Section B row 15, I'll be comin down by myself from HB so I'm up for a preparty but where?  Is I pay near the Gaslamp district? :beer:

it's nearer to Sea World, which is a good 15 minute drive (minus traffic) from the gaslamp district

No, point Loma

455!!?!?! that is nuts!

FYI - ive done many presales and they dont give all the good tickets for those. sometimes you can get great seats on the normal sale too. also you could wait till close to the show date when they often release great seats back for whatever reason...

WTF, they suddenly have the entire floor GA now?????
Am I goign crazy?

Yes I saw that too!!!!  sweet!!!!    : ok:  :beer:

Brilliant! I hope the reserved seating floor tickets we bought yesterday will translate to the GA floor from today. My complaints have been addressed...... :peace:

They have to!  Seeting never made sense to me, although Chili Peppers did it.

I don't get it

so now it's a first come first serve thing?

so our reserved areas are null and void now?

yes, it seems to me that they are changing all the floors to GA now...

how early should one be to get great floor spots?

Got GA tickets.  Did people who did pre-sale get GA seats?

from what i saw, the tickets for presale were before they switched to GA floor. So, i'm guessing that now any floor seats will automatically become GA no matter what they say.

good question. personally I think that a couple of hours before doors open should ensure you a pretty great spot!

cool. does anyone know how they seach you before you enter the arena? do they just pad you down or they search you with metal detectors?

i don't know about that particular place but at the last arena show i saw (Pearl Jam about a month and a half ago in LA), they did a pat down search of everyone entering. 

oh yeah at the forum in inglewood they always pad you down.

what the fuck? i had B section tickets ... what does this means? now i got G.A. tickets or what?

a little bit, but the sports arena is known for its low level security check and bootleg-making easiness

ahhh, very good to know. hope that some tapers are present! :)

hey chief, any official info about the seating change? i want to know if my seat ticket is now a G.A. ticket

Yes, the tickets will now be GA.

alright cool. i might plan on taping this show if i go and if they just pad us down

sweeeet i hope you do!!!

i believe you, but what's your souce? just wondering. cuz i got D tickets, not A B or C

Hold on, did I just pay $150 + service charges for floor B when the tickets are all ga floor????  How do I get a refund?

contact ticketmaster, or sell the tickets there via ticket exchange

i've got my ticket and am going.? ?GA floor means no work that day? :rant:

on a side note,  this show may not be selling out so fast....there still are GA Floor Seats....  or perhaps someone screwed up big time.

It's selling surprisingly pretty well.  They will sell those floor tickets at $75.00, until people are pushed into the entranceways!!  Come showtime, I would expect over 10,000 tickets sold at the least.

man, i'll have to be there at 10 am to get close to the stage  :D

doors open at 7pm.

there's gonna be a line to get in you know ?  :D

10am might even be too late.

 according to the site, GNR goes on at 10 so maybe that will help in people's plans to get to the venues...

http://www.sandiegoarena.com/event.php?eoid=95

You are extremely optimistic. 

I too noticed plenty of good tickets still available in all sections.  I expected a fast sellout when they went on sale!  What is going on and why the change to GA?  I got some damn good seats in the presale! :peace:

Why would you expect a fast sellout???  Talk to anybody in San Diego. It's depressing how much negativity there is.  They say: It's not Gn'R, no slash. Axl is fat, can't sing anymore, botox, no new music in forever. They make it a flat out joke. And remember the show in 2002?  oh wait, we had to get our money back remember.........

We just need some real postive news.  Ummmm release date, single..........

I dont listen to the radio very often anymore, but if its 91x promoting the show than thats a shame.? Not that I have anything against 91x,? but unless they have switched their format all the sudden after 20+ years of Alt Rock, then they are a poor choice to promote GNR's return, unfair to both the station and the band.? ?As for 2002...this feels different.? Its going to happen.?

so does anyone know how they search at the IPayOne arena?

what are you trying to sneak in? 

i think the biggest downfall with security at the Sports Arena (IPAYONE)  has always been the utter ease it has been to rush the floor.   security has absolutely no hope of preventing the show from being an all out GA show.   digital devices such as cellphones etc that are small should make it no problem. 

i just wanna know if they pad you down or wand you at the entrance for the arena

Ticketmaster's not selling tickets anymore???   ???

I just noticed that too!!

Anyone know what's going on?

It looks to me like it has sold out. either that or its a temporary glitch in the matrix.

they changed the seating chart again, wtf?

It looks the same to me

where does it say the seating chart has changed?

What is going on with this show?  Ticketmaster has not been selling anymore tickets, since yesterday?  I don't think it was sold out yet, heck tickets had only been on sale for four days???

Back up for sale. Seeting chart looks the same, floor still GA.  Not sure if they had thoose lower level behind the stage tix for sale before though.....

Thought for a second they were going to reschedule till when the "real" tour starts Oct 24th. 

That's what im talking about

That probably explains it.   : ok:

I wonder if the arena shows could be turned into "half house" show's if ticket sales do not pick up.

I'd rather see that than an empty upper tier.

Let's give AXL a sold out show.  C'mon San Diego!!

whats the status for this show

is still going on oct 5, for all i know.

It will be moved.




/jarmo

it will be moved or it is cancelled?

your reply in the other thread has me a little concerned

As far as I know, it'll be moved.




/jarmo

Pollstar is reporting that this show will be on January 16th.  They are a very reliable source, so I trust this new date!

remember to post a link, when you post info:

http://www.pollstar.com/tour/searchall.pl?By=All&Content=guns+n+roses&go_green.x=0&go_green.y=0

okay, so it has been movied to January?

bummer, but if this means the people can have their Chinese Democracy, I am willing to wait it up!

so these tickets we bought will transfer over?

the new date really sucks, but if Chinese Democracy gets released before thanks to that, its allright.  :beer:

well nothing is in stone yet on the new date.   Ticketmaster shows no change yet.  perhaps the future date is in negotiations till.

Updated on Ticketmaster now. Jan 16th.  Currently the last date of the tour.  That would be cool.

Staples or the Forum will be the last.

You think so huh?....   That sounds right, we'll see

that would be cool.

so the whole show is General Admission

the entire arena, appearently, is General Admission

is that even possible?

Only the floor and the lower Loge is GA.

well, that is not what I was told.. so either somebody is not on top of this properly

Ok, when I called the venue a couple of weeks ago they told me only the floor is GA. But the other day I received an email from ticketmaster regarding exchanging tickets and it said both the floor and lower loge are GA, everything else is reserved seating.
Who told you the entire arena is GA? I don't think that is physically possible. I am even a little suspicious about the lower loge thing.

I called the place today and the guy said it was all General Admission, which I happen to believe is complete bullshit..

In the physical universe we live in, that is not possible..

if you look at the maps on the arenas web page, none of them are totally GA, just the floor and red lower lodge levels..

maybe the dude has his facts all fucked up...

i bought my ticket for the San Diego show on 1/16/07!  i'll be driving from AZ.

i've never been to ipayonecenter.  hopefully i find it easily. lol  :P
the only shows i have been to in the San Diego area, were @ Coors in Chula Vista.

i bought a GA SRO level 1 ticket.  the whole floor is GA, right?  seriously, how early should i get there for a good spot? 

thanks!  :beer:

The iPayOne Center (Sports Arena) is conveniently located by the intersection of interstates 8 and 5 - you can't miss it. Doors open at 7pm for this show. No idea how many floor tix were sold but if you get there around 6pm should be fine.
Don't drink and drive  :o

great!? thanks for the info!? ;D

no worries, i won't be drinking and driving.? i need 100% focus to drive in So. Cal... LOL!? :peace:

I just bought my tickets for general admision.

So Mexico is attending the show boo yeah!!!!

Does anyone can recommend me a hotel near this location.


Thanks

So it looks like this will be the last date on the tour. At least this leg anyway.  With no CD how many more legs can there be.......

sweet!  this is the one show that i am attending!   :beer:

FUCK I wanna go to this really bad especially since its a tour closer. its only like an hour away. My only issue is cash. I already went to KROQ and just spent $90 on one of the Gibson shows. So I dont know if I have enough or if it will be worth it. If Chinese Democracy comes out by then, my chances will increase  ;D

Hey guys,  I'm flying over to Anaheim for the NAMM show and will be arriving on the 16th.  Can anyone tell me how far it is from Anaheim to San Diego?  Is there a train?

90 minutes by car with no traffic.  Amtrak and Metrolink run to San Diego from Orange County.

I'll find a way to come to this one.  8)

Anyone organizing a get-together?

looks like we gotta contact ticketmaster to obtain refunds for the San Diego show.  first rescheduled from the October date, now cancelled. 

has anyone contacted ticketmaster yet? is there a trick to get the full cost back from them, or am i screwed for their 'fees'?  tia!

Not yet. I will today........  Dang I'm bummed.   :(     I couldn't make Vegas or KROQ  and can't make the shows this weekend.....

Does anybody think they could ever come to San Diego ever now, after 2002 and then now this???

me too!! this was gonna be my first GN'R show!!  :crying:
i swear, i am cursed.  i live in AZ, and i guess they don't play AZ shows anymore since the Phoenix incident? (am i wrong here? anyone?)

i listened to the Inland Invasion show via webcast, and that is the closest i have ever come to seeing a GN'R show.  it was amazing!!

anyway, i don't know... i really hope they play San Diego or Phoenix again, soon!

ok, i just got this email from Ticketmaster: *refund is automatic*

Thank you for using Ticketmaster.  We appreciate your business!

There ARE still tickets available to the Los Angeles shows.  It's only an additional two hour drive.

not happy about it, but what can we do.  San Diego gets screwed for the third time in a row.
i loved GNR, grew up listening to it...Axl was my hero...then the guy disappeared, and I grew up.  i wont cry or bitch about it,  its life.  ive got other things in my life going for me.

on the plus side  if they do come back to San Diego, I bet there is a new set list  : ok:

Um.....the last time they did a show in San Diego was in 1992. So, any setlist would be fine.. ;D
But yeah, I hear ya.....I was going to come for the SD show in 2002 (living on the east coast then) but it got cancelled. Now, I live only 5 minutes from the venue and naturally I was going again but..... :(
Please, GN'R, come to San Diego in 2007......it's beautiful down here.... ;D
At least, we still have the LA shows which are not that far.
