ill be going....now if i can just get the pre sale password ill be straight, but Im not allowed to ask for it, or anything like that, read on the main page this is a big no no...so instead of being left in the dark, guess ill have to pay some greedy person on ebay money....to bad sharing of the secret word is not allowed...

Relax man, don't buy any passwords from ebay. It is not clear yet whether there will be a presale for the boards. There will be one for HOB members and my understanding is that you don't need a password for that. Just an account on their website and you buy from there. I'll post more if I find out.  Too bad I'll be at Inland when the presale begins. If I can't get tickets on Sun when I get home I'll be so bummed.

Easy there leather!  The link is gone, I guess they realized they shouldn't do a pre-sale when the most hardcore of fans are going to be at a *gasp* GN'R show!

I don't know. I called the venue yesterday and was under the impression that they were not aware of these shows yet.

Wo0o0o... two GNR shows in a row.

I'll be going to both... assuming they happen

i'm going to try and get tickets to this one, i assume it'll be easier to get than a Sunday.

I'll be going if I can get my hands on tickets. I've been waiting for a actual LA show.

tickets went on sale now, i thought they were supposed to go on sale next week, oh well.  i got orchestra tix, i'll be attending.

TICKETS ARE ONSALE AT TICKETMASTER RIGHT NOW - FOR BOTH OF THESE SHOWS! :peace:
Picked up the 19th - sect 9.... hope my west coast plans work out 

i'm in 9 too.  : ok:

so where any orc pit tickets sold?

Alright got tickets to this show too. Same location for the seats. I so dropped the ball... I should have went to get these earlier. Cant beleive Andrea was the one to realize this and get them.

Oh Im bringing my mom to this one.

...I think Im going to cancel on Bakersfield.

I just got tickets to this.  YESSSS!!!

btw its kind of a bummer that bakers got moved because now its on a thursday night but whatever, i'm going to go anyway!!! 

where ya tix, chief?  :)

i think its the orch. closest to the pit area!!!  :beer:

Orch 9 is suuuper close to the stage!

is everyone in orch 9? jeez, thats where i am too.

Did anybody get pit tickets?

i just checked and i'm in orch. 4! 

I could only get the lodge so thats where I will be. And you know what...I dont give a fuck. Im seeing GNR again, and the world is good.

edit: So are we having a meetup up Hard Rock before the show? Get some grub and drinks? Seems appropriate. On the entrance to the Hard Rock in Universal (before you enter) scrolled on top of the door way reads "Welcome To The Jungle -W. Axl Rose."

Alright everyone, seat check: give us the location of your seats.

me: Orchestra 9.

no ticket yet. i try buying 2 but gives me lodge and orc seats if i search for 1

I'm gonna use a little patience....yeahhhhhhh

it would be funny if you guys are waiting and they don't release pit tickets, and you have to get tickets really far away.

I'm not aiming for pit, I'm at least aiming for Orch.....

im aiming for pit ticlets at least for one show hopefully the first night this way i can figure out how i can sneek in a cam

Try the Camera-ito plan. Worked for Inland Invasion! Bring a clear plastic bag.. put like.. an orange and a "burrito" in it. Security will look at it and let you go in.

The burrito though.. isn't a burrito. Its a camera! Hence the name, camera-ito. What you do is this... wrap your camera in suranwrap (however you spell it).. then put a tortilla over the camera and shape it like a buritto!

Haha. It might not work cause I don't think they'll let you bring food to this event.. but oh well.

Anyways.. all those trying to get tickets to this show... remember that KROQ is presenting it.. so they'll likely hold tickets just like they did for Inland Invasion.

its a good thing that kroq is presenting it. a friend of mine knows someone that works there and could possibly get us backstage passes. he said he could of got someone for inland invasion but he didnt because he was invited to the show in the last minuet. also about the camera thing i have no problem sneeking one in but a video camera is what i meant

where anywhere does it say that this is a KROQ sponspored show?

go to ticket master and on the bottom right under the prices it says kroq presents

That burrito plan was genius Jack.  All hail the great Jasjit!  Super plan.  I almost got away with it until the batteries fell out of my pocket.

w.axl....don't forget about your Devore thread buddies.  ;)

US backstage passes?  ;D

Haha

lol first i have to see if my friend can get some and if he can ill have him ask him how many passes he can get

There will be like 29 KROQ DJs that would get passes for themselves first if they can. In a small venue like that how many more do you expect to get. And what the hell do you plan to do backstage?
Pit tickets is all I want.

to try and meet the band ??, and i would like pit tickets as well but they arent on sale

don't you think that being backstage before a show you would only be in the way of the band preparing for it.....let's be considerate and let them do their job.....you can always try to meet the band after the show.
i think what you and other should desire is afterparty passes not backstage.

It can work both ways can't it?

I've got my eye on pit. 

same here. any word on the los angeles "presale" ?

Ugh...never mention the words KROQ and presale ever again....

i think so

no idea about presale but at this point im just going to go with the tickets i already got unless somehow i can get in the pit!

Does this current pre-sale affect these shows?  Or is this a brand new L.A. show we're talking about?

Yeah!  I just got tickets to this show!  I am so happy!  My seats are in the middle level loge, all the way to the side, in section 23.  Nothing can compare to Hammerstein Ballroom in NY, but I am excited to see GNR again in my home town!

Ooohhh, looking forward to meeting you!  8)

will find out tomorrow... man now i gotta wake up early, something i havent done since the presale for hammerstien ballroom

damn that was super early!!!

ill be checking to see what is going on with the LA shows tomorrow though....

yeah work up early for both presales, and those same days i was actually on time for school  :rofl:

isn't the presale at 9am pacific time??

for the NY presale i had to wake up at 6am since we are behind NY by 3 hours

so did anyone get any presale email for the LA show

oh crap, why do they run on eastern time?? this isn't fair.....especailly for the folks in hawaii  :rant:

no, no presale info for LA yet.

I haven't got any info as well.  :-\

well the show was in NY and NY is eastern time

I'm in!!!!!!! Sec 7, Row 4!!!!!!!!! First G N' R show since 1992!

 :yes: :love:

see you all there....

Crap!- just found out about NJ show and already bought dec 19 show tix - heck i was the one who started a thread letting folks here know ticketmaster had started selling these. NOW they announce east coast shows - heck a full blown tour???!! :confused:
is there a thread here to get rid of a pair of tickets to this dec 19 ca show- at cost no mrk up - just what i paid? - i 'd save me tons of money from buying airline tix to head to west coast... and i'd have enough to get in on new jersey show?

thanks - oh sect orchestra 9 ...  :o

just fly out dude, you know it will be worth it.  GNR hasn't played LA proper in AGES!!! it should be a pretty sweet one!!!  maybe even special guests?!?!!?   :beer:

im going... way up in mezz 29 row B, does anyone know the venue well?

So who here got the email?

not me

I can't see how we haven't gotten it yet.  There are only so many members on here from L.A.... :crying:

If we got passed over, I'll be super disappointed.

same here man but i wonder how this is gonna happen if tickets are already on sale, maybe if there really is a presale ill be for pit tickets?

I hope so man, I hope I didn't wait for nothing.  As we're waiting, the Orch seats keep getting crappier and crappier.

so you havent bought your tickets for this night? yeah orc seats get on getting crappier by the minuet every time i check its a row futher from the stage  :nervous:

I know!  :nervous:  If I don't get an email or anything, I think I'll just buy a ticket.  Is that what you are planning on doing?

yeah if no email when i wake up ill just buy them when i get home from school. i do wanna get atleast pit tickets for one of the nights if i have to buy them from ebay then i just might. also i gotta contact my friend and talk to him about his friend that works at kroq

That sounds like a plan to me.  8)

yeah but the only thing that sucks is i have to buy two tickets for each show and everytime i search for some i get loge seats. i might just buy them seperate so i can get two orc seats...

wouldnt it be cool if gnr appeared on jimmy kimmel live? then we would get to see a free performance   :drool:

I just moved to LA from NYC (where I did attend the Hammerstein and 2002 MSG show) and left all my GNR friends behind there so looks like I will be going to this (my first GNR in LA show) solo.  I havent been to this venue so I'm looking at one single tix and there are seats in Sec 7 and 9 row NN and Row SS...are these good seats? 

Should I wait for the general on sale?

Thanks guys!

cool i was at the hammerstien show and it kicked ass... as for tickets they are already on sale but there is supposed to be this presale thing tomorrow for theses shows but we dont know how thats gonna happen. let just say those seats are better then getting the loge section

gunsnroses.com let me buy only 1 pit ticket for the 19th....i need to get another one or my significant other will kill me......if someone has an extra ticket, please let me know..

bought my tickets. at first i would get row ff then row mm then after that i got orc row cc much closer so i got those  :beer:

the only thing i dont know if what section doesnt say when i bought them... just saw my email i got ORCH 6

Got 2 pit tix!? YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!? went back to check if any more were left after completing my purchase and they were gone!?

was that when the site first started? i bought my tickets about an hour after the site launched so i missed my pit opportunity. if anyone gets an extra one for the 17 let me know ill buy it

Got pit tix for both shows! Cannot wait! Hopefully album drops before then so they play some new stuff besides the usual.  If I have any extras I'll post it on here.

I only keep getting Orchestra.... :-\

I was in Mezz2 for Hammerstein, and now I'm in ORCH 8 for this gig.  Should be a blast  :smoking:

W0o0o, the Doctor's coming!  8)

same here but i just got them since they dont have pit no more

just got my tix.  Im takin my girl. I wasnt planning on going since I went to Inland Invasion, but I caved.

did you get them from tickets.com? if you did, did you have to pick on ga floor or best available seats

Fuck this, I'm just buying from a scalper.  My grandma screwed me over last night, and my mom won't give me her "plastic credid card."

Unless someone here happens to have extras.

I just printed out my tickets!  Awesome.  I can't believe I'm gonna see GNR again!  What about a pre-party or after-party?  Anyone planning anything?

Girl, you have no idea!  :hihi:

You're absolutely welcome to come to our pre-party, we plan on going nuts at the Hard Rock....and everywhere else.  :-*

It's gonna be crazy!  We didn't get to do at Inland Invasion, but being that it's the fucking Citywalk, and we all live in the area, we're just gonna have the time of our lives!

that sucks man, i might have an extra ticket for this night thats if my sister decides not to go. ill let you know tomorrow she might say yeah but who knows she might end up changing her mind in the end.

Thanks a lot man.  Are you gonna come to the pre-party?

 mostly likely yeah

I'm definitely planning on going to tuesday's preparty.  as for the sunday show, i'm going with a buddy of mine and we may drop by but i'll have to see what he wants to do....

I hope the Hard Rock can accomadate us.  Who's organizing?

so where is everyone located for this show? im orc 6 row c seats 101 and 102

Im in ORCH 6   row MM   105 and 106. I wish I was closer so Axl could see my tattoo.     
   

I will probably go.  It is not very far from where I work.  I will not buy tickets from ticketmaster because you can probably get better tickets for half of the price through alternate sources.

If someone has an extra pit ticket for this show, please PM me. Will pay more than face if needed.

The same goes for me.  Wouldn't wanna get charged up the ass by a heartless scalper....

I only got one pit ticket during the sale and gave it to my gf. Now desperately need one for myslef too.

Holy fuck!  You have quite the heart, if I had a pit ticket I would have an iron grip on it until December.

Well, she's a true fan too. Would've killed me for it. I chose to live and give it to her ;D
However, she wouldn't be very happy in the pit without me. That's why now I am trying everything I can for a pit. In the worst case I'll get scalped very bad, but I gotta be there.

Yeah, I know I'm gonna bend over and give em my money, but who knows when we'll have another chance?

By the way, that's an awesome thing you did for your gf, especially since she's a bigtime fan.

I'll be there! I just got my ticket. This tour is what we've been waiting for and I'm sure GN'R will deliver!!!

ill be there : ok:

Sounds great.  What time?

isnt it too early to plan the pre-party?

add me to the list on going...

I'll be there. Add me to the list.

Can someone help me out? I bought tickets to both shows (lodge). I'm trying to get my hands on pit tickets though. I'm talking to someone who wants to sell, but I want to make sure they are legit before I shell out more than I should. What do I look for on the ticket in terms of section, seat, aisle, row, door? If anybody can help PM me. Thanks in advance

check your pm box jack

weird...they stopped selling tickets to this show and the 17th show and now a pre-sale (a new one, i guess) starts tomorrow...very strange............

What the.....?

this is so whacky!! they totally screwed up this show on sale...

so it looks like kroq and hob will both have new presales and i'm guessing that soon after that and the  promotion they give begins, the show will sell out !

Chief, have you any idea what this is about?  We should have seen it coming, after all, KROQ IS presenting this show.  :hihi:

maybe they will sell pit tickets. or just the remaining of the rest of the tickets that are left

pit tix sold out most orch sold.....

hahah yeah we should have seen it coming.   i guess someone made a stupid mistake and put the tickets on sale much earlier than they were supposed to, hence a bunch of us already getting tickets.
now, they are going to sell the rest in this 'official' on sale push from kroq, etc.....

God, I hope they saved some pit tickets for this new presale. Maybe now I wont have to pay more than I should... If not I still got my lodege ticket.

^ haha that's the same thing  I'm hoping but I won't settle for lodge... I'll just go pay alot if I have to.

they didnt sell many pit tix. most of them will be sold on the 7th. they did fuck up they were not supose to go on sale til' the presale.  but from my understanding they told me that less than 1200 tix were sold.

Not good news.

NEVER too early to plan a party!! :D

kroq is giving tickets away.

well most of these tickets were sold BEFORE the big tour press release and any promotion was done, so in the end it should be fine. my feeling is that these shows will sell out.

we still have about a little more then 2 months so im sure this show will sell out by that time

it only fits 6000 though.

by CD's release/press release for release im sure more people will become interested.

i hope i can get my mom's credit card so i can buy me some pit tickets if they sell any

We're in the same fucking boat my man.  Gotta do some hardcore begging.....

whats up with them closing ticket sales, i got tickets to the 17th already but cant ge tthem to this show until saturday?

well actually all i have to do is fix the expiration date on the credit info for tixmas. and im set  :hihi: but i have 3 of my moms credit cards registered and i forgot which one has the most money in them  :confused:

Ahhhhh, my mom's being a total bitch....

you can get tickets for these shows @ gunsnroses.com close orc seats but no pit, oh yeah you can get tixs for this show tomorrow at the presale if you need the pass pm me... that sucks gary. woops i mean garry

no pit tickets  :rant:

it looks like its ebay for me!!!

And the shady guy in the alley!  :hihi:

Well that presale sucked! Just like the other KROQ presale for the Invasion.................Oh well, I might just end up in Lodge

same here.

Or they'll release tickets the night before.... :no:

same here :'(

well , here a snowballs chance in hell, but ill give it a shot if anyone has a pit ticket for either day e-mail me.  i need 1 for each day. (yeah , im going alone)

hey guys - as i posted a while back i bought tix in the first unannounced presale and then got nj tickets soon after. i cant do west coast trip. the tickets arent the greatest - orch 9 row behind QQ --and in front of SS for 12/19.. i aint giving up exact seat location since dont want ticketmaster/ kroq etc to cancel them. i'd like to get to a fan stuck in worse seats ... not scalping them just want what i paid. let me know if anyone interested. it is 2 months away though so i aint rushing too much.
 :peace:

I'd be more pessimistic and directly address the scalpers: If you have 1 pit ticket for the 19 or 2 for the 17, please PM me an offer....

Let's say it really does drop on Nov 21st.  In that case I am so fucking stoked b/c we are the last gig and I will have had a month to fully appreciate the album.  I hope they play some 'secret' shows in WeHo....dare to dream.

anyone who is willing to sell two pit tickets at face value, email or pm me or whateever.

We could get tickets to that too.....unless KROQ is presenting.  :P

To their defense, at today's presale KROQ had slightly better tickets than HOB, but still no pit......

Cheapest pit ticket on ebay runs at around $250 right now......

gunsnroses.com still has better tickets available then the presale today

has pit tickets even gone on sale yet?

they sold out last week when they first went on sale on gunsnroses.com.  i got 2 of 'em!  they were gone after i checked out and checked back.

yeah i was able to get pit tix from gnr.com, but i already had orchestra tix, so i was like "fuck it, i'm pretty damn close to the stage already, i let someone else get these"

as anyone got their tickets  from tickets.com?

i need a pit ticket for this show !!!!!

mark me as an attendee

Guys, we need to get this pre-party shit planned out.

We prefer the Hard Rock right?  Suppose they don't let us.  We can either do Jillian's, or this girl can set me up at BB Kings.  We need someone to step up and organize things.

yeah the hard rock would be good.

i'd go to the preparty except i'm only fifteen years old and i need to go to a show with another person, and unfortunately its a school night so my dad has to go with me, and he'll be like "omg you're meeting with people you know from the internet?  what if they're rapists?" hahaha.  i would go if i was going alone but im not.  :no:

ha thats what my mom said when i went to nyc. she said you dont even know the people and your gonna share a room with them? just tell your dad that your gonna hang out with people your age

 :rofl:  My mom would say that too!  I'm 18, Jack is 17, my best friend is the same age as me.  And the other guys and gals aren't that much older.

Here's the rundown:

http://www.citywalkhollywood.com/groupsales/places/ataglance.php

My mom thought Garry was a rapist until I proved he was my age by showing her inland invasion pics..  :hihi:

Tell your dad that most of the people are your age and invite him to preparty!

im 19, and from those pictures i saw in the website garry posted i think the hard rock would be better plus look what you can get

(http://www.citywalkhollywood.com/groupsales/images/places/photos/hardrock-9.jpg) :drool:

haha sorry guys.  i dont even know if my parents think its okay to go onto message boards.  :hihi: however they know i'm not stupid enough to give out personal information.  omg guys, my name's Nick, go look for every Nick in the world and try to kill me!

You should just ask your dad if you can go visit Axl's Paradise City jacket, and then we'll ask you if you're a GN'R fan and we'll go from there.  :rofl:

so whos gonna be in charge of all this?

That's what I wanna know.

well who lives the closest to citywalk? this way they can be there early etc. i live about 20 minuets away if theres no traffic.

We gotta reserve it in advance, I'm sure.  Don't know how many people will come, and how much it will cost.

yeah. well first lets find out how many people are gonna show up then ill call to see what we can do.  plus i still gotta buy my pit ticket from ebay   for the 17 :rant:

Same here man.  I sure hope a responsible adult here would take the load off us kids.

there 16 people attending the show from htgth and only about 7 of us post here so we might just need two tables or so, so all we have to do is have someone arrive early and get those tables for us.

Yeah, I don't even see the point in reserving a whole area, do you?

no. i say we pm everyone on the list that is going and ask them if we are going. i say we wont need no more then 3 tables.

 :hihi: thats actually a good idea, i'll think about it.  :yes:

or you could show us a pic of yourself and when you get there will scream out your name and just tell your dad oh man look its my friends from school. then just hang out

Anytime man, just be cool and we can pull it off.  8) :hihi:


Great idea man.  Jack and I were thinking of doing something like that.

Sorry guys, can't help with organizing.....I'll be driving from San Diego after work each one of those days, and can't even guess what time I'll get there with traffic and everything. Hopefully, at least on the 17th, will get there early enough to hang out with you.

just bought my pit tix from ebay for this show, so now i have pit tix for all three nights!!! & i'm broke!!!!

oh, so you were the lucky one for the 17th...that was a good price i thought.
anyway, if you need to unload one pit ticket for the 19th, let me know.

the prices are pretty cheap right now, i got 2 tix for the 19th for $229.00 thats not to bad. but you can find 1 for under $150.00

thats cool, there isnt that many pit tickets for the 17 though. but when there is they sell them in pairs and i only need one

Pit prices for the 17th on ebay are outrageous right now. No single tickets available for the 19th, atlhough a pair can cost as low as only $229. Seems like most tickets available are for the 20th when you can even get a single one for a decent price of $149!!.
If someone needs just one pit ticket for the 19th, we could pair up, buy the cheapest pair and split it.

yeah the pair tickets for pit seem to be cheaper.

anyone know who's opening the show, aside from Bach?  : ok:

nope, would be cool to see the muse open up.

the muse???? thats a joke right? that band was sooo damn boring at the inland invasion, them and alice in chains  were the biggest snooze fest. muse just stood there & did nothing they didnt say one word to the crowd the whole time. ( besides thank you at the end). terrible, terrible, terrible. ( thats just my opinion)

i dont mean to poop on the muse, because there are alot of people that like them, what i am trying to say is i would just like a little more energy to get me hyped for the greatest rock n roll band of all time.

well i said the muse since kroq is presenting it and most likely there will also be a kroq band opening or it will just be bach and his band

its not "The Muse."  its just Muse.  hahah.

they're an exciting band live, IMO.

yeah i know but i think it sounds better with the heh. garry have you pm'ed everyone on the list about the pre-party?

Yes I have.  I PMed all the people who don't regularly post in these 3 threads.

have any of them replied back?

Not yet.  :-[

ah well we still got 2 months to go but hopefully everyone replies soon, the sooner the better

So is it the Hard Rock or BB Kings?  I like 'em both.  It's gonna take me at least an hour's drive but I'll try to get there early.


edit: Has anyone taken the Metro Red Line to Universal City?  I've been in a tree-hugger mood lately.  But I dont know how late it runs, probably not as late as Uncle Axl.

yeah its at the hard rock, will have details for that soon.... has anyone got any sort of  email from tickets.com concerning the tickets for these shows?

I've taken the metro line there and its great but as far as i know the last ones leave before 12am so that probably isn't a good option...

I just replied to your PM.  I'm planning on going to the pre-party.  Where is it and when is it?  Can we walk over to the Gibson Ampitheater?

will have a flyer  with details, ill be a few hours before the show and im sure we could walk to the venue

I ordered my tickets through ticketmaster, and they e-mailed them to me and I printed them on my computer.  It's the first time I've done that.  It's nice to already have the tickets and not worry about the mail.

^^ yep, did the same as Rosetta.  I wish I had the $$ for more than 1 show though...  it's just the 19th for me.

GN'R is the reason I found myself a job.  :-[

I hope you're happy Axl Fucking Rose!  :hihi:

Yeah, I wish I could go to more than one show too.  I also wish they'd play the Hammerstein Ballroom in NY again.  Somehow I'd get to NY to see that show, cuz they were awesome there!  I saw the show twice and it was unforgettable.  It was also my first trip to NY.  But it will be great to seem them close to home too, here in Los Angeles.

First post here, sorry if it doesn't adhere to scalping rules.  Some of you have spoke of paying out the ass for PIT tickets for this show.  As sales progress, the PIT tickets have gotten cheaper.  I found one site below for tickets that would be less than $10 over face value after ticketmaster service fees and charges.  At 05:45 they still had nine pit tickets for $100.  They also had the same tickets for $225 each.  I got in on the presale, orch7.  I'm hoping sales pickup for these 3 shows.  Good luck & please delete this post if it is out of line.

I tried buying two and they charge $15 service per ticket and cheapest shipping is $14.95.  Two tickets would be $245.95.  My two orch tix were $181.25 with all fees.  Stub hub's cheapest were  $159.  I didn't want to serve up my credit card info for a test run so I don't know stub hub's fees.  Cheapest ebay pairs right now are $315 with shipping.

 http://www.wehaveseats.com/ResultsTicket.aspx?evtid=418756

I stronlgy suspect the GA tickets that you see there for $100 each are NOT pit tickets but some upper level GA. If you look further down Pit ticket prices start at $150 each.

I stronlgy suspect the GA tickets that you see there for $100 each are NOT pit tickets but some upper level GA. If you look further down Pit ticket prices start at $150 each.


Where exactly would the upper level GA's be?  According to the universal website, the only GA's available would be rows AAA-HHH down in the very front.  Everything else is permanent seating.  I believe these seats are not too expensive due to lack of interest/demand to the general public.

Then, why do you see those GA tickets to be the cheapest of ALL section?
And why do you see further down explicitly stated PIT tickets start from $150 a piece?

It is very possible that these tickets are tickets that people want to get rid of quickly.  Several of these sites are not "broker only" but they allow people to put their "unwanted" tickets up for sale and they make some of the profit as well.  I still can not see where these upper level GA's would be located.  This is a small place (6000).   This should be a hot ticket.  It is not.  You have yours, I have mine. 99 1/2% of the population has no clue that GnR is touring.  The only people that have tickets right now are fans and scalpers.  The casual fan is unaware.  Without any publicity, this tour will not be a sell out.  If you look close, there are more than one set of GA's.  Some people think they can make more money than others.  Some want to get their minimum investment back and be done.

Ok, if you bought any GA tickets from that site, let me know if it says Pit when you receive them.

For your information: LA and NYC will always sell out for GN'R even with no promotion. It is the other places, such as TN, IA, or WV, where they need the massive promotion to seel out.

LR, I don't plan on buying any GA's.  I have 6th row orch.  Here are a couple of virtual maps with GA orch pit and with seated pit.  Per the Universal website:  "All seats are Reserved, except when the Pit is noted as being General Admission, Standing Room Only."  My initial question is where would these upper level GA's be located?  Just curious.

I went to the Metallica/GNR show at the coliseum in 1992 and it was very not sold out.  The Rose Bowl a week later, sold out.

I know that the map of HOB does not show any other GA place than the pit. But I am still suspicious of those tickets for $100 - they are the cheapest of all sections, plus no other scalper site offers Pit for lower than $150....These sites normally have comparable prices.

The LA Coliseum is an Olympic Stadium with capacity of 92,000+......It is normal if even Metallica+GN'R can not sell it out on occasion. The Gibson Amphitheater, on the other hand, as you pointed out, has a capacity of only 6,000 and it will not have a problem selling out. In fact the 17th show is almost sold out....2 months before the show......LA loves GN'R...just like NYC.

Only singles left on tm.com for 12/17.  The above link for $100 GA seats no longer has the $100 tickets.  The sites normally have the exact same pool of tickets.  For example there are section 1 row dd on most of the sites for tonites show.  Wehaveseats lists them for $491, stubhub lists them for $515, stubdepot  lists them for $565,  greattickets lists them for $545, etc.  These are thes same tickets with the exact same description "4th row from pit center."  The brokers get these seats, put them for sale in their special little "scalper circle" and whoever sells them first, gets the bulk of the profit.

so whats gonna happen with the pre party? i emailed the hard rock but they never answered back. so lets just get there early and get some tables

also, The Hard Rock has a GnR section that you might want to reserve.

Just pulled orchestra1, row r on tm.com.

My tickets.com order showed up today in the mail.

Shiet! Hell yeah. You live in CA? Maybe that means I'll get em soon =)

so are we having a pre-party or am i just gonna make a ass out of myself alone??? (which i have no problem doing). since i am going to these shows alone.

Yes we are.  Just meet us there.

I'll sell my Orchestra seats at face value if anyone needs any. I have for both shows and they are pretty close. I have pit tix for both shows so I don't need the orchestra I got through TM. I have singles and pairs. I'm not a scalper.

If interested, send me a message on here. I'll tell you the exact seats. I'm in LA and am going to both shows.

Take me off the list for this show.. Spent too much money on gifts.. cannot afford to buy a ticket.. lol.

i thought you already had a ticket  for this show

i'm so excited
only 11 days!

my parents bought me the tix for my birthday, which is in two days.

No.. I was planning on buying on the last night so I could get pit tickets (they usually release better tickets the night before the show...)

And now I really don't have cash to spare.

I'll still be there on the 17th and 20th though

just borrow some cash.. how can you miss this one dude??

Now THAT'S an idea.

are you guys sure better tickets will be available the night before the show?
i'm going crazy cause i still don't have any ticket! ;(
i'm looking foward to get pit tix, but i should have a backup ticket =/
 ???

I have one pair left for this show. Orchestra 8, 14th Row. All I want is to get my money back that I spent on TM which is $175 for the pair. Email me if interested. I'm going to this show too. If you've been to this arena, you know that all seats in orchestra are very good.

ive decided to go this show too. now i just need a ticket

got a ORCH ticket, but i'm still looking for a PIT ticket.. if you guys have any, PM please..
anyway, add me to the list baby!  : ok:

see yaa  :peace:

I am getting so excited!  It's tomorrow night!  I just read all the posts from the 17th.  Sounds like an awesome show!  I wish I could have gone but I was busy with work stuff.  I can't wait to see the band again!  Although I am worried that my seats won't be good.  They're in loge 23, whatever that is.  Anyone know?  I know it's on the side of the stage, but is the view still good?  And BTW, are we having a preparty at the Hardrock?

In case you still don't have tickets for this show, ticketmaster just released more ORCHESTRA tickets.
There pretty good

the best available was
ORC 3   LL   

Just check out the view
http://www.hob.com/apps/vrshow.asp?v=gibson

According to the map, ORC 3, LL, are pretty decent seats.  Better than the ones I have, that's for sure!  I should have waited to buy my tickets.  Oh well...

hope you found one since there seem to be a few available...

a few?  the whole mezzanine is still empty!  best available still comes up with loge seats...

That doesnt mean that the mezz is empty, it just means that the Loge isnt full

well it came up with section 25 row a, so that would appear to be pretty empty to me if the first row of the center mezzanine section is still available...

i'm selling my orchestra 5, row dd ticket.. if anybody needs one.. face value, (310) 383 4475
