Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Someone over at CD.com said they'd announced it on the radio this morning...

Nothing at livenation yet, but here's the link if you want to stay updated: http://www.livenation.com/venue/getVenue/venueId/989/

The pic...should be updated.

That venue is out near Sea World, I thought they would have it closer to the heart of town. Venue at the University of San Diego would have been better as far as gatherings before and after the party.

I wonder how many other dates are getting ready to be announced? ?If you have an Entercom station in your area, be alert! ? ;)

Arena holds between 8900 and 14000 for arena concerts.

Thats almost a 3 hour drive for me....hmmm.

It is one of the best places to see a concert!  Many legendary nights there, not to mention this arena was featured in Almost Famous!

Really? I think I am going to try and go to this one as well. I wonder when tickets go on sale.

Fuck! Just realized this is like a tuesday. Any of you know what the SEMA show is understands how psychotic that is for the automotive industry. Taking off before then when you work for a magazine that does a couple issues dedicated to the SEMA alone is really very bad.

Could be an idea :hihi:

I saw Lenny Kravitz and Aerosmith there and thought it holds close to 20,000. It is huge, if your not on the floor or in the first 20 rows up, forget it.

Cox Arena at San Diego State University is the best arena in San Diego

There were probably 14,000 + at the arena the night you went to see Aerosmith and Kravitz.

"between 8,900 and 14,800 for arena concerts"

From Wiki... I'd say that's a good size'd venue for the band. 20,000 would be pushing it but 8-14 sure.

im going, but anybody knows when are tickets due to go on sale / if there's gonna be a presale?

This is fucking awesome!

I am there, no doubt about it, there!

Tickets go on sale this Saturday.

Jeeze, okay, I'll need to find a way to see them

how much for good tickets?

also, Minneman, if you don't mind, where are you getting your information?

Incidentally, I'll see RHCP tonite there, so I'll take another careful look. Although, their show has been sold out 2 months ago and I expect more people than even at the Aerosmith show.

Is this show confirmed.

I am trying to make my travel plans dammit!!!!

 ;D

It's confirmed:

thanks.

now if only ghetto ticketmaster would list ticket info!!!

Yes San Diego...Oct. 3rd...I will be in Vegas on 9/16 and at this one for sure...iPayOne Center is the Sports Arena, Guns played thier years back...but I fucking hate this venue, it's a shithole compared to any of the new venues, it needs to be leveled and have something modern built in it's place but this city is broke...

could someone provide me a link to when tickets go on sale?

holy crap I am about to have a panic attack.....Time to hit the treadmill for some serious cardio :confused:

They said next saturday on the radio apparently

8/26 or 9/2?

Tickets go on sale NEXT Saturday, 9/2

I would imagine, late this week, or next week is when they will announce possible dates in LA, and Phoenix to go with the San Diego date, all to be on sale 9/2.

Alright, just got back from a RHCP show at Sports Arena (iPayOne) in San Diego. Here's some info that might be useful to some.
The show was sold out completely (even alot of seats behind the stage), so I think there were close to 15,000 people. It is not of the biggest arenas (like Staples center) but it is still pretty good size.
The Floor - .......frickin' chairs planted everywhere. And there was a huge distance between rows. We were in the 18th row on the floor and it felt like 40th.
NO AIR-CONDITIONING - yes, beleive it or not. We started sweating 15 minutes after getting there. Even Anthony started complaining 2 songs into the show. Wear light clothes, and bring a towel and a water bottle if you can.
The parking lot - DO NOT park in the main parking lot......BIG MISTAKE.....Not only is it $15 but there was nobody to direct traffic after the show and a big mess happened. Took an hour to get out of a medium size parking lot. Better park in the overflow parking outside on the street for just $10. Or park in the neighbourhood streets for free if you find space.
Security is incredibly loose. Use this to film a DVD and stuff. They let people in cameras no problem.
The venue is easily accessible from I-5 and I-8.
It is not the best place to have GN'R perform but I guess we can adjust to it.
In any case, next time GN'R management books a venue in San Diego tehy'll be much better off with Cox Arena, where: 1) there are no chairs on the floor 2) there is air conditioning 3) parking is better organized and it's FREE.

I agree in some points, but you make it sound like if its the worst arena in the world. I have been there to a couple of sold out concerts and i dont remember about feeling the heat or needing water. As a matter of fact, i recommend the in arena - parking.

BTW: the chairs can be removed, this was done in RHCP tour manager request probably.

IS that where the Lakers play exhibition games?

I just heard that on 91X. On the other hand, the website still says Oct 3rd.
They are already giving away tickets for the front row. But in the lamest and most difficult way. They have listeners call in and the first three get to compete for a pair of tix by singing along Sweet Child. Idiots.

i dont see why they would need to change the date  :-\

omg !11!!!one chinese democracy starts now !!!!11 lol msn http cdrom web2.0 ajax lmao haxor !

It looks like someone has been dipping into "horseys'" stash. :smoking:

I tried to say something about the stash but give up. :-\

free karaoke and get tix to the front row? I would have called in.

Yes, one. Been having it for a while now

Hell, I'd be game for that too. It's front row!

Well, it's not that easy. They only seem to give away a pair of tix a day. The way it was done today, they announced when to call to win the tix. Maybe a 100 people called in but only the first three got to compete and embarrass themselves on air. And at the end only one one.

BTW, I am absolutely sure they said at least 5 times the show is Oct 5th.

it sucks they are giving away front row tickets, since i wanted to buy those

Maybe management figured they need to at least stop by Los Angeles on the way to San Diego.  :-X

thumbs up to management for using a current pic of Axl to promote this  : ok:

i might have to make the 6 hour drive to San Diego.. we'll see.  :smoking:

was this concert ever confirmed to be on october 3rd?

You thought they might have used a current picture of the band.

The venues website originally said October 3rd

it`s better than them using a pic of the old band i think....

You thought they might have used a current picture of the band.

it`s better than them using a pic of the old band i think....

No its exactly like them using a pic of the old band....

The picture is actually a wallpaper I made a couple of months ago...? :hihi:

so, the low level is like G.A. or its gonna have rows?

Why the hell are they having so many in ca? move on over gnr

Because we got the shaft in 2002

so is this show gonna be with chairs or GA?

Having a little trouble selling tickets, or what?

i dont sell tickets

I didn't mean you, I meant them.

well it sounded like it was directed towards me

Tickets have not gone on sale yet for this show.  BTW, most shows, put on by professional promoters, have ticket give-aways!!  It's called "promotion!"
