Just got out of class and checked here to see if Halifax was announced. Didn't see it posted so I checked ticketatlantic.com

source? :-\

edit: thanks dude :beer:

I edited my first post with the source link.

Congrats to the maritimes! I promise not to make jokes about east coasters ;). Nah jk, damn I really want to go out east again (been there a few times before), wish I could for this trip but it's out of the question.

This is the best news ever...thanks Axl, thank you merck...wooo hooo...where's the pre- sale

Yeah, this is great. GN'R back in the maritimes after more than 18 years. I wish they'd do a pre-sale too.

whats involved in a presale? Ive been a member at the website for years but i havent recieved any presale passwords since the 2002 tour??

If there's a pre-sale through HTGTH you'll probably have to sign up, I'm sure Jarmo will make a thread. That's IF. I don't think there will be too many more presales here though, I'm guessing those were more for the warmup gigs only.

Nova Scotians lets prove our right and sell this fucker out. I know me and my family will be there.

Can we please get a pre sale for the Halifax show...please...Mysteron...Jarmo...anyone...I've been waiting so long for this moment!!!  8) : ok: : ok: ;D

I can't wait!! A pre-sale would be great....hope we find out soon or I'm heading to Halifax Friday night to wait in line for my tickets.

Just booked 2 rooms at the Four Points Sheraton......... :beer:

So are people going to wait overnight for tickets???

AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

FUCKIN RIGHT! im going friday at 9am (they only allow camping out 24 hours before) to camp out and im staying the full 24 hours. whos joining me? also a presale would be incredible. im so excited it took me a good 20 minutes to calm myself down enough to type. i was just running around screaming at my roomates.

im thinkin of waitin overnight for tickets

Do you think it's necessary to wait that long!

maybe not, but my firend and i have been looking for an excuse to camp out for the last 2 years and havent found it. so we are just as pumped to camp out as to to the concert (that is a slight exaggeration).

i saw the TO and Ottawa shows on blabbermouth and was about to make plans for another road trip to see GNR, then i came here and saw this!!   This fuckin' rules!!!   

We have got to get a pre-sale for this....it's gonna be a stressful week!

I was gonna fly to see them in Toronto or Boston  this is awesome!!!!!!!!!! gonna be a big show i wonder who will open for them??

Mysteron...any chance for a pre sale for the Halifax November 20th show?????????????

Pre-sale would be the shit. Has anyone bought tickets online from ticketatlantic.com before? I don't think you'd need to camp out if you can buy them online at 9am saturday.

Has anyone ever been to a conert at the metro centre with general admission on the floor.  The people i am going with probably won't want to wait in line the whole day.  Would i therefore be better off going for lower bowl or will it be easy to make it towards the front?

That's exactly the dilemma I am having right now. If it's too hard to get to the front I'll just go with lower bowl, close to the stage.

Looking at the seating plan, a half decent lower bowl seat would be at centre ice at least.  It is a dilemna.  If it was just me going, i would have no problem getting up front.

you have to get there pretty early to get up front. i dont like the floor just cuz then people start pushing and i find its hard to watch the show. ill take a seat for sure.

and im just going to camp out 80% for the hell of it and 20% to make sure i get a ticket

Yeah, I've got six people coming with me so I don't think I'll be hitting the floor.

Waiting outside a stadium is BADD way to get tickets now.
In the amount of time the first 5 people get tickets, they could be sold out because of the internet.

When Pearl Jam played here in St Johns last year, I knew people who waited outside for almost 2 days and we first in line, and ended up with worse seats than I bought from the website. As soon as tickets went on sale, I was clicking my way to getting them online, as was pretty much everyone else in the province. Half the people in the lineup outside the stadium didn't even get tickets because it sold out so fast.

So... while it is a great story to camp out to get tickets, it's definitely not the smartest thing to do these days.

I have a feeling this show will cost me $500 or so if I can get tickets....

Also...
Looks like some people in Halifax aren't so excited:
http://media.locals.ca/localsconf/viewtopic.php?t=75221

I hope axl thinks of this stupid place called edmonton, i know if i were him i wouldnt even consider it but maybe theres a small c hance

Well we can't expect everyone in Hali to be excited...but I don't care, they are coming and I'LL be there.

NICE NICE NICE, I live in Fredericton, New Brunswick. I'll be there for SURE! HUGE HUGE HUGE, what a night it'll be

 :beer: :smoking:

thats a really good point. but for me, i think going outside is the best. because 1.i dont have a credit card, 2.if i used my parents (Which is an option), i still have the problem of my friends cuz we all want to go together. so i figure i will just line up.

So would everyone recommend the floor even if there is 6 or so people going with me.  I cannot decide what type of tickets to try for.

Yes i definitely would.  I was on the floor at almost all the shows ive seen and its much better view wise anyway.. if you havent seen these guys yet or its been a while the floor is the way to go!!!

 :peace:

i dont like the floor for these reasons:

1.people trying to push ahead of you to get to the front (ive been in the front all the times ive gone)
2.crowdsurfers/moshers. i dont have aproblem with it, its just i want to watch the show,not worry about somebody coming down on my head or trying not to fall over the people next to me.

so i would rather have a seat where i can watch the show and not worry about anything else. but thats just me...



does anybody know if there are any problems with buying online tickets in terms of too many people trying to do it or what? Ryan_of_lax?

Halifax...Axl singing November Rain to us in November...how cool is that!!! : ok:

floor or seats???? whats the best??

Its gonna be a joke if this concert doesnt sell out. Thats why im a bit nervous about GNR comming to small places like this without an album to show they are a kick ass band.

It took me about 10 minutes of constantly clicking refresh to get onto the Ticket Master site the morning the Pearl Jam tickets went on sale. But, I never heard of anyone not being able to get into the site after 10 minutes or so, and the show sold out in a half hour. Whereas, there were lots of people in the lineup outside the stadium who didn't even get tickets because there's no way the people working at the ticket windows could keep up with the online sales.

That's awesome. Very cool that they are deciding to hit the maritimes. A CFL team should be next : ok:? 

i agree, i am going to go the online route. ill figure sometihng out with credit cards. it only makes sense. thanks for the info.

Yeah I figure online is the best way to go...an even better way would be  pre-sale...sorry, I had to say it again in case "someone" is watching this board.  8)

.....a...did I mention pre-sale....oops, yeah, I did....just checking! :yes: : ok:

You know it's this is rather funny that Axl is playing in Halifax. My friend called me 2 weeks ago and said he heard that Axl was coming, I just laughed it off b/c of Axl rescheduling certain dates.

Now long and behold Axl is going to Halifax. I was planning on going to TO but this way I don't have to.

How awsome is that!!! GnR in Halifax!!!!



  Merk don't forget don't forgetto include fried cod tongues and Alexander Keith's on that damn rider.

Yeah this is truly the best thing to happen to Halifax in awhile....although some would argu that the Rolling Stones were but not me....Guns N' Roses all the way.   
And Merck, you definetly have to get some Keith's for the boys!

Ticket price change....

WHEN: Monday November 20 at 8pm

ON SALE: starting Saturday September 30 at 9am

TICKETS:
$75.50 - floor (general admission, standing room only)
$75.50 - lower bowl
$60.50 - upper bowl
Prices include tax and service charges.
Tickets also subject to an additional $4 per order fee if ordered on-line.

http://www.ticketatlantic.com/concerts/index.cfm?eid=154&cid=5

aww, there are not alot of bad seats at the Metro Centre. anything in the lower bowl is fine, but the floor is the place to be at any venue.

Just talked to the company (1-866-999-8687) organizing the package deal for the concert at the Pepsi Coliseum in Quebec City on the 18th. Lodging, lower bowl tickets and transportation (from Saint John) for $346 tax inc. This might end up being an expensive week. Quebec on the 18th then off to Halifax on the 20th...... :beer:

Thats pretty lucky.

Should I go to the superstore or get to Halifax and wait outside the arena?

Come to the city and slum it outside the box office...I get off shortly after midnight Friday night so I'm  going drive by on my way home from work to check and see if a line up is forming.

have fun u hicks!
YOU DESERVE IT....

WAITING PATIENTLY FOR A VANCOUVER ANOUNCEMENT  :-\

Just scored 4 tickets off my cousin who has those premium seats or whatever they're called. He gets first crack at anything that happens at the metro centre and if he doesn't want them himself, he gives them up on a first come- first serve basis.

If you have a Credit Card.. do it online.
Standing in line is the way of the past. Although you may get good stories out of it.
I actually stood in line over night wayyyy back in the 80's when the Gunners opened for Iron Maiden. Good time but my seats weren't the best.

there is a pre-sale as of this morning.

where can I order pre-sale tickets??

It look's like ticketatlantic.com is handling the Halifax show. Here is a link to their Presale/Promotion page... http://ev9.evenue.net/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ExecMacro/evenue/ev68/se/DisplayPromoList.d2w/report?linkID=halifax&RSRC=&RDAT=&caller=PR

So, whats the password?

there isnt one yet. sign up and you will be emailed the password. ive heard that it will be sent out tomorrow but im not sure.

I emailed ticketatlantic to find out when the presale will take place.  No response as of yet.

That's what I thought.lol

I emailed TicketAtlantic about the presale and here was the response.

Hello

There is a fan club presale through Guns N Roses, not through Ticket
Atlantic. If you are a member of any group with presale privileges, they
will contact you directly with all info.

at the risk of sounding stupid. Is a pre sale. a sale where u get tickets before hand? and If so...whats going on and how do I use it...

You have to hurry up and sign up  for the presale under the important topics to obtain the password needed.

"Way up here on the corner of the map...you are still a part of that competitive fuckin' world...so my question for you now Halifax is,....do you know where the fuck you aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaare....you in the jungle Halifax!"

Axl Rose
Halifax Metro Centre
May 1988

i have the video of that performance...its pretty good. bad quality/cameraman but the show is good. ahhh if only slash/izzy/duff were coming this time.... :-\

its awesome they are coming and its a once in a lifetime opportunity for us in halifax, but i still cant shake the sadness that its not the old band.

This really isn't the place to whine about there being a new band.

anybody want tickets? if your not going to get yours thru presale, if you get me cash, ill camp out and buy your tickets at the box office (at cost, no mark up) for you, just buy me a beer before the show or something.

(i just want to camp out).

im thinking about camping out and then selling my tickets at cost to people in the back of the line haha. that would be slick.

my other idea was to camp out, and at once i get to the box office ask if slash is coming, and then just be like 'ah fuck this then' and leave.

i just want to be able to say i camped out for gnr' tickets.

Set a tent up tonight get on the news... ;D

if thats what i had to do to get tickets, i would. i think anybody on the board would tho.

who here signed up for pre-sale? i did. do they limit the amount of people per city who they give passes too or is it basically just no noobs?

I'd guess no noobs...  They only open so many seats for the presale, but usually its plenty for the fans to get tickets.  The only rough time was Hammerstein..  :beer:

that must have been insane..

2 seasons ago i went to every halifax mooseheads game (canadian hockey league junior team in halifax) all season and in the playoffs they went up against rimouski in the finals (who had hometown star sidney crosby, whom wayne greztsky dubbed 'the next one'), so everybody was like oh lets go see crosby play, so me, a die hard, didnt get tickets... i ended up getting them thru a friend on a msg board (which is why msg boards rule, we gotta stick together), point of the story is, yeah, bandwagon jumpers suck.

its nice to see die hards served first. thats the way it should be. it would suck if i didnt get a ticket and somebody else got in and then got pissed cuz slash wasent there..

anybody know when the pre-sale for hali will be? its not listed on ticketmaster, this pre-sale is thru ticket altantic..

Halifax Pre-Sales happen at 10:00 am through Ticket Atlantic on Friday.
Being a newbie on this sight I probably won't get the email with the password.. so I decided to sniff around.
Guess what....?? ;D

How did you find that out??

I'm obviously better than I thought I was.? 8)
When I enter my code it tells you when the pre-sale is.

Well....good for you!

I thought so..lol

If I didn't respect the wishes of the mods on here I'd post it but I understand what they are doing. And by the way, the passcode I have is the same for the whole tour.. or so I think.

Meanwhile...back at the ranch...my fiance has been riding my ass for years because I still like GN'R...she doesn't quite get it, she thinks I'm still living in my teens when they were big and that I'm "obsessed" and 18 years of being into one band hardcore that I have to move on...well, I don't think she gets the fine line between obsession and loyalty! ?So the other day I tell her that GN'R are coming to town and she's like "I'm going too" ?and I'm like "Why, you don't even like them", anyway she tells me that she wants to be there to see my reaction when they start playing. ?Then yesterday she tells me that she's decided that if she is going she needs to know all their songs....anyway, I have to give my fiance a crash course in Guns N' Roses...how cool is that.

haha, that story is all too familiar with me. But it was Motley Crue... hence I wasn't forking out a second $400 for another front row seat. The wife stayed home and I partied HARD!

I was big on the Crue back in the day...I would have liked to have gone to the show but I decided not too...I drove by the Marquee that night after work and saw all the people there for Vince's wet t-shirt contest  :hihi:

I'm hosting "Cruefest Nova Scotia" this Saturday at Dooly's in Chester.
10 rock bands playing a majority of 80's tunes
MusicStop and Ovation donated a guitar to raffle off. Plus there are other sponsors like Jagermeister etc...
First band hits the stage at 3:00pm last one ends at 2:00am
All money rasied goes to the Crues charitable foundations.
This is the only official cruefest in Canada east of BC!
$15 admission until 10:00pm, at that time admission is $5
www.cruefestnovascotia.com

You should come out. I'm sure there will be some GnR somewhere in the day!

That's cool...but...Chester  :confused:     :rofl:

Shit, I wasn't sent a code? Unless they don't send them all at the same time.  ???

I've sold loads of tickets.. only 250 passes available in total. Gonna be a party!

I didn't get an email.. I went looking on the net. And found it!

Ha, that sucks. The damn thing is already leaked out. Thanks for the info about Friday at 10!

That really sucks if it has been leaked  >:(

Ive been a member at this board for over 6 years and i didnt get a password even though i signed up for the presale?.....whats up with the passwords?

Seems most people haven't received any e-mails yet.

Maybe the password I have isn't the same as what is going to be given out on this site.
All I know is the one I have got me into the area on ticket atlantic to purchase the pre-sales for GnR

I've never hit the refresh button so many times in my life ?:hihi:

many times events have multiple pre-sales (through different organizations/promotions)  And yes, unfortunately these passwords get leaked.  :rant:  ~ It's my understanding that fan forum pre-sale passwords aren't out yet. 

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but look at a lot of the shows that have been on sale for a few weeks, they aren't sold out.  Just be patient and you'll have your chance to get tix.

Agreed.. what I have was leaked somewhere else.
It wasn't even for the Halifax sales but works. That what leads me to suspect it works for all.

good work noticeboy...i acually tryed that last night. not so much to find apassword, but to find the date pre-sales went live...curious, what did you search for?

I just got off the phone with ticket atlantic and they said there is NO pre sale for te Guns N' Roses show!!!! WTF is going on!?!?!?

I'd say that person doesn't know what they are talking about. A member already contacted Ticket Atlantic a few days ago and they said the presale is being put on through GN'R management.

The password that is floating around now shows the presale date as starting Friday at 10am.

I hope you're right!!!  Thanks for the info!  :beer:

Hate to keep beating this "deadhorse"  :hihi: but when should we receive this email with the pass in it? Ive been a member since 03'.

I hope I'm right too ?;D

10am tomorrow can't come soon enough

No one knows yet, but I'm thinking we'll have it by tonight.

We we'll probably recieve the password sometime after midnight tonight.  I hope we will all keep this password amongst ourselves as well.  I'm sure there would only be 50 or so of us that belong to these forms that will be taking advantage of the presale.  Therefore, we should be able to get some great seats.  I'm opting for the lower bowl since i am with a group.  Also, a question for noticeboy.  When u logged in with the password, did it say how many tickets u can purchase during the presale?

ill awnser that cuz i figured out the password, it didnt, but i assume maximum of 10 as normal for the show....

i figured out the password as well. there isnt a site that says the halifax show, but as i saw, the password is the same for all canadian dates. if youve been a member for more than a month and dont get a password tomorrow, daubs_gnr@hotmail.com ill help you out. i dont like the randomness of it (sounds like not everybody gets it?). it should be for all members, not just the guys who were home at the time or the guys who are selected.

I spent all morning trying to figure it out without success.  My guess though is that it will be a different password sent out early in the am.

For those who live in Halifax, is there much of a buzz around the city about the show?

they wont change the password...that wouldent make any sense.

umm a bit. i dunno, ive heard from friends that they overheard people talking about it. some people are like 'yeah waste of money to wait for somebody whos not coming'. i think alot of people will go out of curiousity.

im confident it will sell out. simply cuz its axl rose in halifax and its been 18 years. if he was here in 02' it might not.

Like was answered already. You can't tell until they are actually on sale.
It will more than likely be 10 but if not it should be 4.
Anybody other than us 2 find the password yet online?
Only took 5 minutes compared to coming on here and bothering the mods. I'm pretty sure they are very busy at the moment with all this happening.

Buzz in Halifax? Um not quite sure about that, I'm in Fredericton, N.B the next province over and the response is pretty damn good, Im thinking it will be sold out, IF not sold out then prettyd amn close. Motley crue drew a good crowd in Saint john and Halifax so im hoping the crowd in Halifax for GNR will be crazy crazy crazy, Gonna be weird cuz I know all the lyrics to the unreleased songs  8)

Maybe a few of us from this board can meet up somewhere and drink some brews, not sure where to stay In halifax either, any ideas? Thinking casino nova scotia but lemme know..

Prince George is handiest and many of the acts that play the Metro Centre stay there.

Stones stayed at the Lord Nelson last week.

my aunt was on the same floor as the stones.

we defintally need a pre party. i would have one at my place but i live with 5 guys, and 2 of the guys own the house, so its not my place to have a big party here. we should go to peddlers or something before the show to meet and stuff. we defintally need a pre-game party.

I wonder where the band will stay? I was thinking about Prince George myself since it is attached to the Metro Centre

http://www.q104.ca/index.asp?CP=Menu_2

Theres the bit of promotion in the city. Q104 is the biggest rock station in there. They are VERY Pro GNR. They always say "Its only Axl and Dizzy" but rarely say too much negative about them.

I work at a hotel downtown the Stones were supposed to stay at but we turned them away...we were booked.

I just canceled rooms at the Four Point and booked 2 at Prince George. The girl on the phone said they still had lots of rooms left.

how much for the 2 rooms? its a 4 star hotel isnt it?

ive been on the pre-sale page, it is a go, 10am tomorrow, i figured out the password. so anything you hear about no presale is bull...

Yeah, sad we still don't have the password via e-mail yet, but I'm hoping they'll get it out by tonight. If not, not a huge deal since we already have a password that works for tomorrow.

145 + Tax for each room.

on another note...this concert is going to be awesome...not that it really matters but any idea on opening bands?

i was wondering that as well. i wouldent mind seeing papa roach..."play time and time again!" thats all i really would want to see .that was a good song.

Dude I so hope it isnt Papa roach, daubs if I dont get that email u gonna hook me up? I been a member since 2003 but still havent gotten an email, im from Fredericton, N.B.

Me and my good friend are going on the 20th in the afternoon, should be there by 5 PM or so, we are staying at either Lord Nelson or Prince George havent quite figured which one yet, wanna meet up with some people to have a few drinks either at our hotel or at pub/bar/etc, keep in touch, daubs hook me up with your email and ill send you mine. I need presale pass A.S.A.P.

im just saying, it could be alot worse....i still say they should get velvet revolver to open.

I hope Sebastian opens. At least he's rockin'!

Yeah, we need to all meet up at a pre-party! Good times to be had by all. I'm watchin' some UYI era GN'R bootleg DVDs now to get me pumped up for the show.

haha i got a playlist on my cpu all gnr, i told my roomates to get used to it cuz its going to be rolling for the next 2 months

T - 2hrs5mins and counting for the presale  :beer:

looks like Papa Roach isn't going to be the opener in Halifax... GOOD..lol

It's going to be a long two hours before Guns hit the stage...although it will be fun to watch Baz !

Got my tickets guys Section 7, Row P seat 1-6

section 7, row L, seats 1-2

Hey, does anyone know if row R is near the floor or at the top of the section?

Sec 7 Row N !!!!!

What the hell is going on here, I feel like im getting screwed. Where are these passwords coming from?

I guess were all in the same general area lol

section R is in the upper part. its about 1/2 way.

It doesn't seem like u could get any closer then Row L.

any idea which side of the sections seat 1 is? ie which side is seat 1, which side is seat 16..? i cant remember.

Section 23, Row P

It's gonna be a kick ass show! ?:beer:

i got up at 10:03 and i was like FUCK im late. guess i wasent tho eh.

its sweet we are getting the best seats.

jono what seats did u get? like acualy seat 1 or seat 12

Section 7, row r, seats 1-9

Seats 10-15

What is the very top row...I'm trying to get a sense of where in the section the seats are? ?And is seat 1 closest to the stage or furthest from?

Woooooo Jono...I can't wait!!!...awesome seats

This is sweet...we all have great seats!...gotta love presales  ;D

It's what I would have chosen if I could pick...sweet deal!!!!

wooooooooooooohooooooooo got amazing seats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why is everyone taking seats?? G.A. is awsome. I know i wont be sitting down the whole show.

I'm going to answer my own question and for anyone else who is curious.  Row A is closest to the floor and goes all the way up to row S.  And seat 1 is closest to the stage all the way to 14 15 16 depending on the sec.  So in section 7 seat 1 is beside section 6.

im taking seats cuz i just want to watch the show, i get distracted by pushing/crowd surfers/moshing ect.

i think M is the highest in the lower bowl but dont qoute me on that....its something around M. and not sure which side seat 1 is on, either way we are fucking close!

i think the ticket altantic site is messing up? i just went to check goo goo doll tickets and it wouldent let me on, it keeps coming up with a blank page and random type. sucks if u dont have tickets already!

That was happening earlier as well. Guys, we have tickets to see Guns N' Roses! We are close as fuck to the stage  : ok:

It's working for me. ?I am row r in the lower bowl, so i think it goes up to s anyways.

It would be great to see this show sell out tommorow!

ya im sure it will sell out..be great to see...if it does maybe Axl won't take so long to come back next time

It's looking like it will sell out tomorrow! This presale seems to be going fairly quickly for the number of people who know about it. Let's sell the joint out!

I was thinking the same thing.  2 sections on the lower bowl practically sold out.  Can't tell how the floor is selling though.

Isn't it nice to know that tommorow morning we can relax while ticks officially go on sale....although I was pretty curious to see how my back up plan would have worked. ?:hihi:

I think we have to be some of the most excited fans on this website. ?We have this topic up to 9 pages and counting. ?I guess were all still in shock that GnR is actually coming to Halifax.

That is soooo true maddog001...so true!!!!

No wonder, 18 years with no GN'R. We've never even had GN'R headline! This is big event for us fans.

its soo random too. i would never guess gnr would come to halifax...its always vancouver, toronto, montreal. its amazing. last year i was even excited for a gnr tribute band!

Haha, from GN'R tribute to the real thing in a year.

I hope they make Halifax a regular stop on their tours from now on. No reason why they shouldn't if they can sell the place out.

Hopefully Halifax builds a bigger venue for the Commonwealth games so we can have more seating....because if CD takes off huge then the Metro Centre might become to small of a venue for them.

i think the only reason they are coming is trying to recapture their market. they need to move around to play for / win over the most people possible.

also its a smallish venue for arena standards. small = good for gnr. nothing worse then alot of empty seats up in the rafters. any even ive ever gone to that should sell out, when there are alot of empty seats i find it amusing/pathetic.

i went to the OSHL game here in halifax in 2004 (original stars hockey league, throw together during the nhl lock out) and they had the whole upper bowl blocked off...i thought it was pathetic.

I noticed something about the seating, Is the stage like wide open with no back? because when I went to the Our lady peace concert a couple months ago Section 6-5-4 and so on were closed off, but for gnr they are open

Yeah on the seating chart it looks as those areas in 6,5,4 & 24, 25, 26 are available.

I wonder if it will sell out?  I went to the Live concert a few months ago and it was pathetic but big difference between Live and Guns n Roses. When Pearl jam came a year ago it was packed and the atmosphere was incredible!!

Please use the thread in the On Tour section from now on.

Thanks.

HALIFAX SOLD OUT, FIRST SHOW ON THE TOUR TO BE SOLD OUT! BOOYAH!


 :beer: :smoking:

Yup, looks like all tickets are now gone, not even singles available.

KICK ASS!!!!
that is awesome news!!  go Canada! you guys are great rock n' roll fans!

ya cheated ya hosers...your arena is 1/2 the size of ACC and toronto is nearly half gone :peace:

ahh, idk what you're talking about. ?I just tried to buy one and I could, so....

I just tried for 4 through gunsnroses.com and it let me.....

Did u ever think Halifax has around 400,000 people?

it's all good but i bet alot of people will be coming in from other eastern provinces to see the show too ;)

I have a question. ?If you try and by GA tickets and you get seats 71 and 72. ?Does that mean the only 72 people have bought tickets for GA thus far?

i don't think so....

Gunsnroses.com aren't selling tickets for the Canadian shows. ?The transaction will come up as an error.

ticketatlantic.ca is the main website for tickets to this show and it's out. gunsnroses.com is via tickets.com which is a broker I guess. Plus no one is having much luck with them (errors).

Yeah, gunsnroses.com's links for the Canadian tickets do not work. Look like Halifax is sold out! We maritimers know how to ROCK!  : ok:  :beer:

Well I did this last night for the Portland show and got seats 71-74.  I did it again today and it was seats 87 and 88.   ???

Halifax is a shiity little palce up north in England... Canade have also got a place called Halifax...why????

 ???

There are dozens of places in America/Canada named after English cities.

That's nothing, man... just look at all the names for places in New Jersey. ?Lot's of places named after british places. ?Oh, and there's a London in Canada too.
The reason? ?In colonial times, the british colonies named the places after british places to make them feel more at home.

I'm four hrs north of halifax in sydney, nova scotia, canada.

well does it say something like floor1 seats 87&88? cuz ithink they break the GA ticket's down into groups...but i mean it's a free for all once you get there

Canada has the real London ;D j/k don't freak out :peace:

Right on, I'm in Glace Bay  : ok:

No, it just says seats 87 and 88.  I know it's a free for all, but I'm just curious on how packed it might get.  I would love to see them in a sold out show.

Jersey itself, for example.

Yeah, or New York, New England, New Hampshire, etc. etc.

Actually, i am really from South Bar. ?I say Sydney some times because people know where it is at. ?All this time, i figured i was one of the only people from Nova Scotia on the site.

Same here, thought I was really the only one. Now that this concert has been announced we all came out of the woodwork

hmm maybe then...not very many is it :-\

in toronto the general admissions were broke down into different sections (4 i think), with each one having 20-some rows

Hey Jono, are a lot of people from Cape Breton going to the show?

Even more importantly.....how is the opening show in Florida doing in Ticket sales????......seems like an important show to sell out....in my opinion....

Well, I think there are only a few sections left to fill.  They are out of $39.50 tickets already.

I think so, I have 5 going with me, and I know of quite a few others going as well.

That's very cool to know.....thanks brother...

Nice news.  I am a drink the coolaid proud american, best country in the world, blah, blah, blah.

But damn, seems like the rest of the civilized world still loves their GNR, the europe tour selling well, canadian tickets selling well so far.......and the american board members are talking about half empty arenas..

the rest of the world wins this round.

any were called southend????

I just realised you're from southend... :o

Hullbridge...

Didn't know that this was a competition....

America, since Bush took over, has been dumbied down culturally (not to mentioned flat out raped by this administrations policies--economics may have something to do with slower sales in the U.S., as the economy is not what it was in the 90's). ?It is a cycle, which reminds me of the mid-80's. ?Cheese-puffs, sniffling-indie kids, media-manufactured stars, etc. ?America, it seems is usually about two years behind Europe when it comes to musical shifts and cycles. ?It will come around, eventually!

 :rofl: I love americans!  If anything isn't going your way, blame it on the President.  Even blame the fact people aren't buying Guns N' Roses tickets.

were is hullbridge??

Yeah, right after I posted this I thought.....man, someone is going to spin this as it having something to do with Bush.....and sure enough.....everything is Bush's fault I guess, even GNR ticket prices. Wait, I know, Bush made it so gas companies are making it to expensive to heat and/or electric companies to air condition the venues, hence the high ticket prices, and only rich republicans can go to the show.  Maybe after the Democrats take over congress in November, GNR will sell out every venue the day after. LoL

I digress and that was not what intended by the post I guess.....I am just glad to see some of the world still loves GNR like I do.

Um to everyone saying that their arena is half full etc etc, or WHATEVER which means nothing anyways. Halifax's market is WAY smaller then Toronto, Edmonton, Vancouver, New York ETC ETC. We have maybe 350,000-400,000 in halifax so by selling out this quick by a band who hasnt seen the maritimes in over 18 years is remarkable, LET alone the fact that its just Axl and Dizzy.

Gonna be a GREAT SHOW, see all you fuckers in section 7.

SLASH
 :beer:  :smoking:

I said the same thing the page before.  There is only 400,000 in Halifax.  Also, it's not like big name acts don't come to Halifax.  The Rolling Stones were here last week, as well as Motley Crew and Pear Jam last year.  So it is quite impressive to sell it out in this amount of time.  See u in section 7.

I'm pretty sure NYC is sold out also, cause you cant buy anymore tickets via ticketermater for that show

I gave props to NY too on the tour thread.  But someone responded saying that NY sells out because of all of these tourists who come there to see the show. Maybe he's right, I wouldnt know, but it seems far fetched since Vegas still had some tickets left.

Vegas was a bit more expensive though

Maybe I am elitist, but if I am planning a vacation around a concert of some sort, $50-$100 for a concert ticket would not be a deal breaker either way.  If it was a deal breaker, then its obvious I can't afford the vacation to begin with.

Plus I would think vegas would be cheaper for hotels, food, etc....just sit at the nickel slots and eat $1 shrimp.

yeah cya in section 7  ;)

That's cool we have a show sold out. I hope we have a lot more to come.  : ok:

its cool we are all pretty much in section 7 too. at least section 7 will be representing the new songs eh

I would have been in 7, but me and the 5 others I'm going with will be in section 23, right across from you guys! Should be a blast, most of the hard core fans will be in those first 2 sections.

Got the silence was Illusion newsletter stating that Halifax is SOLD OUT ! :peace:

Right on, The maritimes kick ass !

anynews on other cities? some more must be sold out or getting pretty damn close

This made my day....Cheers

Halifax loves Guns N' Roses...we've waited long enough...it's gonna rock!   : ok: 8)

That's good to hear : ok:

Hope a lot of the dates will do so :yes:

Ticket Atlantic just released more general admission tickets for the Halifax show. they are still $69.99 (+ service charge of 6 bucks).

They also told me they were looking at opening up the sections beside the stage. i got the impression they had to talk to the GNR camp as to stage set up....

lol cram em in like sardines!

That's cool though, I guess there's still high demand for the show. Too bad they couldn't swing a second night or something.

Looks like Ottawa will possibly be the next sellout. Looking for 2 tix I could only get Section 320 row O (alphabetical), which is almost behind the stage :P
