I'm thinking Everett on Sunday and Portland on Monday!? ?: ok:

most likely I will be too, if I can convince my parents to let me drive down

msaxl is thinking the same thing, wait she knows it, hopefully see you at both events, will you be hoping for seats or floor?

  I'll be making the road trip down from Calgary with my girlfriend!! Great to hear that this show isn't at that crack house they call the Tacoma Dome! Look forward to meeting all you down there! Keep the dates comin!

 Wake up late honey!!!!!!!!!

I'm a mid-forties guy (yea I don't believe it myself) so the hustle and bustle of the floor isn't as appealing as it was so many years ago.? I'll be looking for the best seats I can get.? If we had a little smiley face with a cane I'd put it here so just imagine it anyway.

I'll be there too.  Can't fucking wait!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll be there also. Do you guys know if it's general admission on the floor?

The Everett Events Center web site doesn't have seating info listed yet.? As sudden as this all is I'm suprised they are ready to sell tickets.? Just as a guess I'd say the floor will be GA.? Of course I've been wrong before...? :hihi:

Could anyone like help me out and tell me if theres like any way by ferry to get from Victoria to Everett or do I need to go to Seattle via ferry then bus it to Everett?

I really wanna go but I need more details on how difficult it is to get there from someone who is 17 and doesn't have a car to get over there.

 There is a ferry that goes from Victoria to Port Angles. You would then need to catch a bus probably GreyHound or Amtrack to the Seattle area. There might be busses that go right to Everett, you will have to check and see. I would say your safest bet is taking the Ferry to Vancouver then taking the bus down or something. Hope you make it there!

Okay, so I got everything worked out, now two questions

1. What do I need to get into the states, do I offically need a passport yet or is that untill next year, and like what other I.D is good to get into the states

2. Are the 75 dollar seats general admission, where you can like stand around and rock out, which is what I'm gonna be doing all concert.

Thanks for the help in advance.

 To answer your 2 questions:

 1: It's always best to have a passport but you don't need one to get into the U.S untill January 2007. All you need is your birth certificate and you will be fine. You could also manage worst case with just a drivers license but I wouldn't leave it to just that.

 2: The $75 dollar seats are floor tickets, but I don't believe that they have announced whats happening there with the seating chart. Therefore it will either be GA ( general admission ) on the floor or asigned seating. GA would be where your looking to rock out and get kicked in the nuts!!

Thanks alot man, hope to see you there  : ok:

 No problem bro! Anything I can do to help a fellow GNR buddy out! Let me know if you got any other questions and I'll do my best to answer them.

Look into taking The Clipper right to downtown Seattle and then bussing it to Everett. That's the easiest and quickest way to do it.

I'll be there!

I just bought three tickets to the GnR show in Everett first ever concert going to see my favorite band of all time with the greatest lead singer of all time.  Im so pumped got my tix off Gunsnroses.com Main floor Seats 43 44 45.  Since its my first concert is there any do or dont's I can't wait DEC 10 WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE EVERETT !!!

You got G/A seats right? See you at the show.

i cant get my tix till sat for everett cz my buddys using his card for them, im from van, do u think tix wil be sold out tomorrow or we will get 2 for sure?  im really scared cz ive never seen em and i want to see em so bad, if they r sold out i probly wont speak for a year :no:

If your buddy gets right into the general sale when it opens tomorrow I really think getting tickets will be no problem.? I just checked and they are still selling presale tickets so there must be plenty of seats left.? ?:yes:

I got tix to the Everett show from Gunsnroses.com I have a question it says main floor general admission seats 43 44 45 so im I on the main floor standing or do I have seats ? im guessing main floor since the tix were 77 bucks.

You'll get two for sure. You could wait a week and you would probably still get two. How many fellow Canadians are going to this show? I bet over half the people at this show will be from Canada.

hey,
 i've never crose\d the border, and i lost my birth certificate, but i do have a drivers lisceence and a BCID,,, is that good enough?  but i alreayd bought my tix anyways so,  FUCK YAH

I got two floor tickets. Meeting my buddy up there for the show. Then coming home to Portland for the next show. : ok:

You need a birth Certifiacte and drivers license. If I were you I would just go get a passport. I'm going to get a passport as we'll need one to go across the border in 2007.

I would've got floor, but my dad wanted to come aswell so I'll be up in the seats rocking out.

It's not too bad, I was in seats for Queen + Rodgers and it was a great experience.

Has anybody looked into hotels for Everett? We should all stay at the same hotel so we can party it up together before the show.

We're probably going to stay at a hotel, so the closest one to the arena would probably be the best bet.

Anyone know how long it takes to drive to Everett from Vancouver?

Anyone know a hotel that is really close to the arena?

about two hour drive, i just got my fuckin tickets :peace:  so fuckin pumped, never seen em before, cannot wait.  im on the lower bowl tho, i dont really want floor in case of a fuckin riot hah.  so im guessing axl wont go on till 11?  lol

Ok guys, I think it'd really be a good idea to chill at a hotel before/after the show.

The "Holiday Inn Everett" is only 2 minutes away according to Mapquest, here is a street map of it. I think everyone should go here.

(http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/1948/everettuc0.jpg)

the one thing im choked about is the drinking age there, im only eighteen, fuckin states lol

If you need to get a passport for an 07 show, you need to get on it as it takes about  6 to 7 weeks to go through the whole process.  I had to do so earlier this year to go see them in Portugal and it took that long. :peace:

If you need help with names of hotels, I can look some up for you, there are some like on Broadway in Everett, which are just a hop skip and a jump from the Events Center, let me know if you need more help.

don't worry about a riot, Axl will be there, when I saw them in Portugal at RIR there were well over 100,000 people and went without incident, and just saw them at the Vegas show, and it went well also, for those of you who haven't seen them, you are in for a kick ass show.  Axl is back!! :beer: :beer:

Wow, the only Holiday Inn that I know of in Everett is on 128th st in Everett, and it is not the closest to the Events Center unless they have built a new one I am not aware of.  What is the address?  I think you guys may have better luck searching for one on Broadway which totally alot closer.

Wow, sorry then.

I just tried to get a couple of seat tickets and I couldn't.  Are the seats sold out already?

If so, anyone have 2 extra?

Are we allowed to bring digital camera's ? I would like to get a pic of Axl performing and to meet him but I don't wanna get kicked out. 

fuck yeah i got my tickets during the presale from KISW i will be on level 1 section 107 row 8 seats 17-18..never seen gnr before and i have always wanted to so it will be exciting..i cant wait...see ya there

When I saw VR there it was not allowed and they searched my purse quickly and gave a body pat down, still snuck a disposable camera past them though, and did get pictures, I think I read somewhere recently to check with the events center a little closer to concert time.  I wouldn't think so though, you know Axl doesn't like it!!

I'm gonna be in Everett as well.  I'm gonna take this show in being up in the seats, and then down in the pit for the Portland show.

Got my floor ticket, so pumped, first ever time seeing GNR live, this is gonna rock!!!

Sweet man, I'm 107 exactly 3 rows up from you!  :)

107 row 10 :hihi:

One row below me.  :yes:

107s starting to sound like the htgth message board section lol :hihi:

Any others going?

im there, im in GA though

 I'll be there! Just got my tix in the mail today!! Section 117 row 3!!!!

I'm driving down from Vancouver with my wife.   We flew down and caught the first show at the Warfield last month and it was amazing, except for the almost 3 hour wait outside for the doors to open.  We did GA for that show and it was crazy.  like being in a 3 hour fight.

I'm going!  Hope to meet some of you there!   :beer: :yes:

My Brother was watching Cartoon Network and he said he saw a Guns N Roses commercial for the Everett show !! which is pretty sweet, so i've been watching it waiting to see it has anybody else seen it ?

Anyone from the area know how this show is selling?

I wish to apologize, there is a Holiday Inn downtown in Everett, I wasn't aware of it though!!  I was looking at the Everett Events Center website and came across the advertisement for it, so I don't know if yu have a room yet, but the phone # is (425)339-2000 and it says to for special rates to mention the Everett Events Center.

msaxl43 :peace:

Hey just got my tix for the Everett show.  Sec 118 row 2!  Not sure if they just released more tix or what but I was suprised to get that close this late in the game.  See you suckers there and then in my hometown of Portland the next night!

I'm there.  GnR BABY!!

Has anyone gotten their tickets from GNR.com or Tickets.com, starting to piss me off that I havn't got them, been about 3 weeks.

have they taken there money out of your acct yet?
generally there will be an 800 number to call on your statment next to the charge.

I just got mine yesterday through gnr.com which links you the the Everett Events Center tickets home page.  Can't wait for these 2 northwest shows.  The album will be out by then and we'll get to hear new material like "Sorry" and "Prostitute."  Can you believe it?

EDIT (11/21/06):  Eh....maybe not on the new tracks but it'll be a sweet show anyhow yeah!

I'll have to admit I'm counting down the weeks also, it's only been like 6 weeks since I've seen him in Vegas and saw him at Rio this year as well, but it is still so hard to contain myself, it's the final countdown, will also be seeing him in Reno after Everett, might squeeze in the Portland show but still haven't decided yet, as I know I'll be tired from the night before, never enough GNR for me!!

i want my tickets!!!

I'm buyong a ticket for my friend Lili. So now it's going to be me, Norm and her. We all went to see them back in 2002 at the Tacoma Dome. This will be like deja vu.
Instad of having the ticket come through the mail I think I'll just print it at home with my new HP Photosmart all-in-one!
Look forward to seeing everyone there.

Anyone need a GA floor ticket for this show?

I'll sell it for face value, as soon as fucking tickets.com gets it to me!

Let me know, shoot me a PM or something

I still havn't gotten my tickets yet, if they're not here by Friday i'm gonna call them and ask what is going on.

yeah this is pretty weak, i am not very happy with tickets.com

In some ways I am glad someone else hasn't gotten theres either, but it also pisses me off. What a shitty ass broker. Did you get floor tickets or seats?

im on the floor its and gonna be sweet

So I am finally confirmed that I will be able to go to the concert...I haven't bought a ticket yet...here's my question...I can't tell by looking at the seating chart if there are any good tickets left...I am not looking for GA, but a seat...should I wait and get from a scalper? Or is there anyone here with a ticket they want to unload?

Cheers!

IF U HAVEN REXCIEVEED UR TIX YET....

So, we pay 15 dollars in fees and they can't even send us the f*cking tickets.  :rant:

They don't even have a 1-800 number to call. You have to call the Arena which you have to pay long distance for, tickets.com can suck my d*ck.

If they are in your moms name have her call Tickets.com there should be a phone number on there website, I had the same thing happen to me my grandma called and had them put my name on the tickets I HOPE IT WORKS FOR YA.

Is anyone going to bootleg the concert, video or audio?

Anyone know what the Camera Policy is yet ??? I wanna bring my digtal camera but don't want it thrown in the trash by security.

I'll e-mail them right now, I would love to get some stuff captured on camera.

We're next mutha-suckas!!!!!!!!!!!!  :drool:

victoriacanucker...any word on camera policy?

thx!

Camera's are a no-no. I got an email from Everett Events Center today giving directions and all that. They even have limo rides for those that want to arrive in style.

I have an important question: my friend that is coming with me can not leave Portland with me till 4:30pm. Does that leave enough time to get to Everett by 8ish? Mapquest says it does but I have heard about Seattle traffic. Please help if you have driven from Portland to Everett or Seattle more than I have.

Thank you.

With no traffic, it takes about 2:30 to get from Portland to Seattle.  Add another 30 minutes on that for Everett.  Sunday there shouldn't be traffic, so you should get there around 7:30 or 8 if you leave at 4:30

Does anybody know how full this show might be?

Well you can still get tickets, so I assume it won't be too full.

I just got mine yesterday...I talked to them on the phone, and was suprisd to get a ticket in section 118 (right beside the stage)...so I asked her how I was able to get such a great ticket at the last minute...was this a sign that tickets were not selling well and that because of low ticket sales, something might happen? (hey, I have a right to be cautious, I have had tickets to see them 3 times, twice they cancelled)...she said the show was sellling very well, but the promoter had just released a bunch more tickets they didn't need...so sounds good...I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I could be wrong, but it seems theres more people coming to Everett than who actually live there who are going to attend the show. I was thinking 5 o clock would be a good time to line up for front row floor seats. THought?

Seattle traffic sucks so much, it doesn't matter what time of the day it is either, north or south bound, it may not be so bad, due to the fact it will be a Sunday at least, just hall ass as much as you can, if all else fails, you might be late to the opening act, who cares as long as you are there on time to see Axl and Bach.  Good Luck!!

I snuck my camera in and I think I got some good pics. Front on the rail in GA. It was a bitch sneaking shots while the head guards weren't looking.

Anyone know the setlist?

Awesome Show!  I will give you a little review of the things that I saw that you don't always here about when reading a review.  I will first post the songs that they played.  And besides the beginning and the end, I'm have no idea what the order was, but this is close.

Welcome To The Jungle
It's So Easy
Mr Brownstone
Live And Let Die
Better
Sweet Child O'Mine
Knockin On Heavens Door
The Blues
Out Ta Get Me
Used To Love Her
Rocket Queen
I.R.S
You Could Be Mine
My Michelle (with Bach)
November Rain
Patience
Nightrain

Encore..

Chinese Democracy
Madagascar
Paradise City

They also had solo's for Dizzy, Richard, Robin, and Bumblefoot.


Ok, some things that I want to talk about that you normally don't get from a review.

Sebastian was very enteraining.  He got the crowd really going.  Put on a great show!  My buddy was actually making fun of him before the show, but came out of it saying "Sebastian really surprised me, that was awesome!"

Secondly, you can really tell that they are prolonging the stage setup and opening acts to time in with GNR's start time of 11:30pm.  I've been to a GNR show in the past where the lights go down, and you still wait 40 minutes.  Last night, Sebastian got done around 10:45 and the stage-crew didn't turn off all the lights until around 11:30.  Only a minute or two later, GNR hit the stage.  I think this is good because people don't get all pissy.  If people see the lights go out, they then expect a show.  Therefor, if you just prolong everything, people know there not coming on yet.  Plus, word seams to be getting around that GNR won't hit the stage until atleast 11:30.  I heard a lot of people mentioning that before the show.

Third, I thought the new songs got a really good reaction.  You can't expect people to hear something they have never heard before and be jumping all around.  I was both up front and also in the back sitting down for the show, and saw good reaction.  When I was sitting, just about everyone around me showed there appreciation (by clapping) for the new stuff, it was good to see.

Fourth, people have complained in the past about people leaving the show early.  I'm not going to say this didn't happen, because I saw a lot of people leave while I was sitting.  However, the people that were leaving were stoked.  I heard people walking out saying "wow, what a show", or "that was awesome"  The reason isn't because people think the show sucks, it's that people leave a Guns show because it's so late and they have jobs to go to the next morning.  Yeah, there are always a few people who don't like the show, but the majority of people last night were really into it.         

Fifth, I thought the new songs that were played were played a hundred times better when I have seen them in the past.  I personally love "Better" when I listen to it in my car, or house.  But LIVE, I have to say I.R.S, and Chinese Democracy were very fuckin impressive.  People around me started to head bang on those songs and really got into it.  For their encore, they opened with Democracy in a way that I've never seen them.  Robin stood upper middle stage and shared an opening riff similar to Welcome To The Jungle.  It obviously wasn't the riff of WTTJ, but the it reminded me of it.  People really liked that intro.

Lastly, I want to say that I think this album is very close to being released.  I say that because of how they played there new songs last night, and 5 at that.  Yeah, Axl may not say anything on stage about how "this is a new song on Chinese Democracy", but the way they presented there new stuff last night, and the way they played it, that's promotion right there!  During CD for example...Robin starting off with an awesome riff to get everyone going, Chinese pictures on the big screen in the back, flames going up behind stage during the whole song!  People knew it was new stuff, and new stuff that wasn't too fuckin bad, if you know what I mean.

It was a great concert and especially for the regualar fan.  What I mean by that is ofcourse, us true die hards have been getting pretty much the same setlist for ever now, and know the new GNR like the back of our hand.  However, the regular fan doesn't.  They go to a GNR show to listen to songs like November Rain, Paradise City, Patience, etc., and that's what they get.  They also get GNR introducing 5 new songs to fans off their forthcoming album.  For me, like I said earlier, I went back and sat down for much of the concert.  That wasn't because I didn't enjoy, but because I wanted a different view.  I have seen them plenty over the past years and wanted to get a different perspective.  What i saw were people really enjoying what they were watching and hearing comments like "Axl's back" or "that was awesome", and seeing people get excited and say "look at him go", while he was running from one end of the stage to the other.  We all know Axl's style and what he does or used to do.  It's nice to see people getting a chance to see it again.  We as die hards obviously want more all the time, but what we have to remember is that we are the minority.  Don't worry, the regular fan is having a blast!     

Cool review thanks for that  : ok:

ktucker, were you there with your friend/brother ?

heres my review(s)(i posted one review and another based on the crowd atmosphere) i posted on chinesedemocracy.com
