Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Hey all,

Wanted to start a new thread about presales.  I'm curious as to whether any events being announced will have presales to go along with them?  I've noticed Jarmo and Mysteron have mentioned that certain dates will not have presales.  Perhaps this thread could be used to detail which shows will and which shows will not have presales.  Seems to me that perhaps major markets should have priority over others as tickets will be harder to come by in places like New York, Boston, Philadelphia (well, maybe not), and Toronto - extra emphasis on Toronto.

Thanks a million and good luck to those buying tickets for GNR in the near future.

Cheers,

Andrew

Well the Everett WA pre-sale is being run through the radio station, unless there's also going to be a pre-sale for HTGTH also. So even if there's no pre-sale here there's still a chance to get into a pre-sale.

YES - Mysteron,

will there be a seperate HTGTH presale?  I just think it's really shitty if you guys are going to open up the presales to these lame ass corporate radio monopolies so that HTGTH members have to fight with the casual fan for decent seats. 

I will be really pissed if i have to sit in nosebleeds while joe blow sits front row asking 'where's slash"

Well, it should never be expected that Jarmo, Mysteron and/or GNR management will set anything up for us HTGTH members.  Considering the amount of work that would be involved in setting up presales for the number of events that are on the horrizon, it would be unfair to expect that every show has its own presale. 

I was just hoping that hardcore fans like you and I who live in major market areas could get some relief from scalpers and brokers.   After talking up the New York and Paris shows from earlier this year, I have a lot of friends who want to go.  Getting two tickets to anything at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto is difficult, getting 8-12 tickets will be next to impossible if there's no presale.  I was thinking people who live in major urban areas would be thinking the same; hence the thread.

Cheers,

Andrew

Getting two tickets to a concert at ACC is not hard, I saw GNR there in 2002, good floor seats if you buy the first day. If it was leaf tickets that would be next to impossible, but you can get decent seats if you hit the net at the onsale time or actually lineup in person.

You must have had better luck than I did in 2002.  I remember Toronto and London went on sale at the same time, and I decided to buy my London tickets first and then Toronto.  It worked out for the London show as I was able to grab two first row centre tickets.  But when I went to buy toronto tickets 3 minutes later all the floor tickets were gone.  Had to sit 20 rows up at the side of the stage.  I wasn't too upset as I scored first row tickets two nights later, but yeah, Toronto I didn't fair so well.

Cheers,

Andrew

FYI - it is my understanding that the presales that are set up here are completely separate from any radio station or other presales.

Getting good tickets for these shows shouldn't be hard. GnR hasn't announced an album, or released a single yet, so there won't be that much buzz for these shows yet. Word of advice, if you don't like the tickets you get on ticketmaster, hit refresh and try again. The best seats don't necessarily go on sale in the first minute.

All I need is 8 floor/general admission tickets for me and 7 friends...

If presales are going to happen a thread will appear as such as they have done in the past.  I don't think asking for them here is going to help, IMO.

Info will be posted when we have it.

Hopefully tomorrow.

Thanks Jarmo...hopefully Halifax gets a pre-sale. : ok:

I guess they can't make it too easy... but I wish they could!!!!!!!

Thanks Jarmo!!!!!!

yeah...I can't wait!!! :beer:

Big thanks to Jarmo for getting the info out.  Not too concerned about tickets as it's only four more days 'till tickets go on sale (ie., not much notice).  For fans like us, these presales are stress releivers from dealing with scalpers and brokers.

Cheers,

Andrew

jarmo & mysteron... as always, much thanks.

no matter what, this has been and continues to be THE place to learn about what's going on in the GnR camp, in no small part due to your continued efforts.

Okay seriously, this is all exciting, but what the fuck is a presale?????
I mean this as opposed to camping out on friday?

presale mean that we get access to tickets for certain shows before the general public...we jsut gotta wait and see what shows they offer presales too :drool:

Please offer pre sales to Halifax!! :peace:

A presale would be awesome.  Im hoping theres one for the Baltimore show, theres going to be one but no word on how or when.  I was checking the website for 1st mariner but its not updated with the GNR show.

Thanks in advance Mysteron.

One can hope for pre-sales, but even if not, it will all work out in the end. :)

A pre-sale for Halifax would be awesome!!! : ok:

The Rose Garden (Portland) website is showing that GN'R has a presale that starts on Thursday at 10:00 a.m.  Anybody know if this will be through HTGTH or through somewhere else (or both)?

Just curious if there is any plans for pre sales for upcoming shows...I'd like to know if there is one for Halifax and I'm sure others would like to know for the shows they are going to.  : ok:  Thanks in advance.

Thanks jarmo...I guess I'm just excited and impatient...sorry.

I think everyone is considering that it seems like a whole bunch of shows will be announced and therefore (hopefully) a whole bunch of presales info will be announced. I'm sitting at work with a million windows open and refreshing them for show info. Needless to say, I'm not the best emplyee right now.  ;)

There's a presale scheduled for the Huntington, WV show according to Ticketmaster - anybody know anything about this?

not sure.  i was wondering the same thing.  hopefully we'll have all the info we need by friday.

Asssuming that it doesn't get sent to HTGTH anyway, I'm curious about the presale for the Rose Garden in Portland.  It says that the presale begins on Thursday, and that it is through the Rose Garden "CyberClub" and Comcast.  I joined the CyberClub, but still can't find the presale code.  Any thoughts on this?  Portlanders?

Calgary, AB!

Edmonton, AB  :hihi:

anyone know

if there will be, we'll be informed.....i wouldn't get pushy about it since it won't help.
people up the chain are very well aware we want presales....if they can, they would help.

i pray theres one for worcester...please :beer:

Great question!

I'm in Philly.  It's lookin like they are gonna by-pass Philly this time around.  Whatever, I'm over it.

Regardless, I'm going to the Garden in NYC.

It may be too early to assume no Philly appearance, but if they are, I'm gonna buy tickets this weekend for Baltimore.

So, mysteron........any clues to whether or not Philly?!?

If no Philly, can I get a pre-sale password for Baltimore??

Thanks either way!

I pray for pre sale in Halifax!

Nothing new regarding the pre-sales....




/jarmo

I hope they make the announceme before thursday.  presale is on friday for the alberta shows, and i'm out in the mountains working on thursday.  hope i don't miss the boat.     :crying: :crying: :crying:

sorry if I should know this!  Are there pre-sale passwords for all these shows (Winnipeg in particular :) )  And where can I register/find them?

Thank you GNR!

I'm praying with you!

There'll be a pre-sale on Thursday for the following shows:

Greensboro, NC

Huntington, WV

East Rutherford, NJ

Worcester, MA

New York, NY

Baltimore, MD

Toronto, ON

Ottawa, ON

Quebec City, QC

Halifax, NS

Winnipeg, MB

Portland, OR

Oakland, CA

More details when I have them.....





/jarmo

Thursday as.... tomorrow? :D

Great news! Thanks so much.

Thanks Jarmo. Can't wait to Thursday.  :)

First It was anounced that GNR is coming to Halifax!!!!!!
Now a Presale!!!

Thank you so much for choosing to come to Halifax. I thought this day would never come. We will all remember this November 20th/06.

This is going to be good!!! Can't wait for CD to come out!!!

YES!!! Greensboro is getting one!! It wouldn't have been hard to get tickets without it but knowing there is one is awesome!

Pre-sale with General Admission for the floor is a bizarre kinda situation.
It doesn't guarantee you get close to the stage. Only that you are guaranteed to be in the building.. or hopefully get a good grab at premium lower bowl seats in the case of the Halifax show.
Either way.. bring it on.. haha

oh wow!!! stress time!!!

So everyone is excited about a presale, but where do we get the passwords? ???

I'm wondering about Worcester specifically.

awesome can't wait :beer: :drool:

Cheers Jarmo and all involved for assisting us in getting taken care of...This is stellar.

how do we get involved with the presale? I certainly would love to get a ticket for the Ottawa show as early as possible (I've already booked time off work for it)

This is fantastic...thanks jarmo!

Thanks Jarmo this is awsome news..First time being able to see Axl this will be awsome

i think evryone needs to thank jarmo, etc for this...you guys fucking rule...now im relieved that ill actually get good seats (hopefully GA if they exist) for msg and caa....thanks again!  best fucking forum ever!

You are right - jarmo and mysteron have alot on their plates and they do their best to keep us informed.

Corporations and radio stations always get first dibs on event tickets.
Its unfair and in my opinion, unethical.

I work in the advertising and design industry and one of our clients is
Molson which has a monopoly on beer at the ACC and other venues,
so we always get concert announcements and listings in advance.
Internal pre-sale for GN'R in Toronto and Ottawa started on Monday
(25th), and ended 9:00AM today (27th). I guess pre-sale for the
public happens on Thursday and tickets to the general public go on
sale Friday.

YYYAAAYYY Presale!!!!

I can't wait to here the details on this! ;D

Many Many Many thanks Jarmo for the hard work and keeping us informed. Anybody from Halifax knows that getting ?tickets to a show at the Metro centre can be a bitch.

I haven't tried since SuperStore had taken over but b/f that it really sucked.

Thanks again,

DH

I used to work for an advertising agency and it's true. We'd get great tix for anything our clients wanted

Great work by Jarmo and company!

This is easily the best GN'R site in all the land.

See you all in... Winnipeg! (well, hopefully a few of you :))

Amen, to that!!!!   : ok: : ok: : ok: 8)

Thanks for the update jarmo! I'll be signing up and hopefully grabbing a few tickets for the NJ show. Don't wanna wait for a Philly date if it never happens. NJ is close enough for me.

Just signed up for the winnipeg pre-sale....anyone know what the next step is and how I get the tickets???

I did the same

waiting sucks SO much!!!!!!!!!!!  :nervous:

Yeah, but I'd rather wait then get the password too soon.  Getting it too soon gives the scalpers a better chance of fucking it up for the rest of us.

you're right. i'll just sit and do some deep breathing :-)

Signed up for Winnipeg.....Thanks much.

Thanks for setting up the pre-sale!!!

Now we wait... ;)

how does it work when you list 'more than one show'?? Just curious.?

Great and I just realized I selected 1 ticket instead of 4.  Hope that doesnt make a difference  :nervous:

Thank you for setting up the presales.

I know everyone here is a huge GNR fan.  I would really appreciate knowing how to sign up for the presales. All I'm looking for is 2 tickets for the Halifax show. Please and Thank You.

I should have done two cities. I didn't realize you could until I already signed up  :(

Oh well, I hope I get the one!!

I've signed up for the Halifax Pre Sale, thank you. I hope everyone attending has a great time! Can't wait!

It seems like there is going to be one password for all shows.

How soon should we be expecting the e-mail?

where do we sign up for the worcester presale?

Where do I sign up for the MSG and East Rutherford presale.  I saw GNR in MSG in '91, '02, and now will be '06!  Can't fucking wait!
