Location: Continental Airlines Arena
Notes: tixs on sale 9/30 9am 

Pretty please on a presale?!?  Mysteron?  Jarmo?  Bueller?!

Yea even I have to beg for this one.

Please please to the GNR Gods above, Jarmo and Mysteron, please let us have a presale, we shall be eternally greatful! ;)

Seriously though - isn't this Saturday a little early for tickets to go on sale when we're still awaiting the official press release announcing the whole tour?

Doesn't matter here in the NY/NJ area, these tickets will sell, same as in 2002.

A pre-sale would be killer...If not, I'll likely be dead in the water.

yea I was shit out of luck in 2002 and had to watch from the nose bleeds

I paid some Ebay scalper demons $400 to get floor tickets to that show before I knew the wonder of these boards so don't feel that bad.

I have a dilemma on my hands. Ive been going out with my gf for almost a yr now.

And guess when our 1 yr anniversary is......fukin Nov 10th...which means MSG

Do I just go to NJ and suck it up and miss MSG? Do I tell her I cant take her out on the night shes been waiitng for for a long time now?

This Blows....

please help

OMG does your GF hate GNR?? You can always take her to a nice dinner beforehand!

Then again I am a female fan so to me the ultimate anniversary gift would be to see GNR so I am biased.?

You can't miss a GNR MSG show, nothing like it!

Yeah dude, just bring her with....its half YOUR anniversary too ya know, lol

Id take her in a heartbeat. But when I ask her she might throw some girl guilt back at me. "ive been waitng for this, its a special day, you knwo how much it means to me, gnr ove rme,yadayaydayaydya"

she likes gnr cause ive only played the new stuff about a zillion times but idk ill find out tonight....im gonan have to sell the lets have a nice dinner in the city type thing...are there any cool places to go that u can take a girl for a 1 yr ? Meauseums?{but for a 1 yr?}, etc...{besides food}...

i totally appreciate this

Find out where the pre- party is, and have everyone buy her a shot, .....lol, j/k....but THAT would be one hell of an anniversary!!!

Haha, yea do that. 

Tell her I will buy her all her drinks for the evening if you go to a pre-party!

But seriously there are so many nice places to take someone in Manhattan.  Do something special with her before the show.

Holy fuck!!!!!!!!!

Must get tickets! ?Can someone tell me what time that will be in the UK that the tix go on sale?

NY is 5 hours behind London.

6 hours behind France and most of western Europe.  Not sure about the rest but you should be able to figure it out from there.

Cool thanks!  YAY!!!!!!

Finnaly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck yea I'll be at both shows!!!!!!!!1

Will the floor be GA?

Whens the pre-sale?

seats presale is this Sat. at 9am

oh well, we'll have GA on the boat this SAT for Appetite for Destruction

From what I have experienced with GNR @ MSG they generally do not have GA on the floor, they keep it seated and security is fairly tight. ?In fact the only show I have been to recently there that had some type of GA was U2.

I am not sure about Continental as I haven't ever seen GNR play there, just at Giants Stadium.

I live in north jersey so I plan on going to both shows. I'm pretty sure Continental has assigned seating too. Major arenas usually do

IFINGLOVEVR I will see you there on Saturday..live gnr music on a boat, should be a blast. It was cool running into you at the Crue show last weekend :beer:

Someone's dropping the ball on this press release.

How the hell do they expect shows in the smaller cities to sell tickets on Saturday if its basically already Wednesday and there's still no press release?

I cant imagine them skipping Philly, but if they do, MSG it is.  :-\

These are posted at livenation's site also. 

Guns have never come back to a venue where there's been a riot, right?

GNR CANT I repeat CANT be playing Nov 10th, according to Madisonaquaregarden.com, a guy Don Omar is scheduled to do a concert at 8pm at :confused: :nervous:

I am so going to both :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

Kannon.

yeah well i think Don Omar fans are chatting it up on their board right now about how their show got rescheduled :)

Different venue.

Theater at Madison Square Garden



/jarmo

Yeah, there is the Theatre at Madison Square Garden which is in the same building but seperate... You may have heard of it when it was called the Felt Forum

Different Venue, same building

This one is at the Theatre

GNR is playing MSG itself-

http://www.livenation.com/event/getEvent/eventId/245729

http://www.livenation.com/event/getEvent/eventId/245730/

this is the best news i heard all week! :beer: hoping they add a wilkes barre show in between these dates somewhere also

ah cool thanks for clearing it up, CANT WAIT TO BUY TICSS!!!

So pre-sale for MSG is Friday from 9am!

JARMO, MYSTERON -
Whats the word thus far on a presale for Continental and/or MSG?  I plan to go to both with a bunch of friends, PLEASE make something happen if you can!

just noticed on the livenation site that they say the meadowlands show is on Monday the 6th! wtf ?which is it? ?ticketmaster still has neither listed

It's on the 6th.

DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT!!!!!!!!!!

you will regret it if you miss it probably forever!  don't worry she will have fun. just take her out the day before and the day after to make up...

then why does it say the 5th on this thread?

I'm not sure, that comes from the WDHA website. I would trust LiveNation over them though, since Livenation is more important.

yeah i guess, my friend heard it on krock here in ny and they said the nj show was the 5th also.  oh well, sure we'll find out soon

I wonder if this livenation presale is a password going out to all livenation.com message board folks or if it will be something else....

THe MSG floor plan says GA, but NJ has assigned seating/floor sections.  Anyone else find this strange?

If they let a GA happen at MSG for GNR I will be very shocked. 

No, not really. Same in 2002 - some shows had GA floors, others did not.

not really cause there two totallyt different types of venues

Me too :hihi: That would be so fucking WILD!!!! :hihi: :hihi:

Shiryu.

Not really, the size and capacity are probably close.

What I mean is that this is something they generally do not allow at MSG.  Not to mention live nation has all tickets listed as reserved seating.  They are reliable with their information as they generally hook right into ticketmaster if you go to purchase tickets.  They may have just used the wrong map of MSG, there is another one that shows the floor sectioned.

yeah i agree, im just sayin they both kinda do there own thing as far as seating goes.  they are similar in size & usage but for shows they are a bit different in they way its arranged

This is fucking awesome is there a presale password thing like there was for Hammerstaijn and is there General admission like Hammerstien?

http://www.ticketmaster.com/seatingchart/237569/1453

This is probably the correct map of how the seating will be at MSG

Both MSG and Continental arena have approx. a 20k capacity for concerts : ok:

YES YES YES YES!!!!!

and the NJ show is on my friend's birthday....i got to try and get tickets for him

how do i get the presale password? please someone let me know!

livenation says that there is a presale this Friday for both shows.  Anyone know about this??

i don;' know about the presale, but this kicks ass!  i have to go to nyc!  my 40 b-day is the 12th, so it would make a great b-day gift to myself!

If anyone could let me in on how to get involved in the pre-sale, I'd be greatly obliged...I promise that the tickets I get won't be yours...cheers

Better not be all seats otherwise I dont think I'll go. I feel like a fag standing in a confined area like that during a show.

the last train out of Penn Station is at 11:39, when does a GNR show usually end??

I see it say presale too!! hopefully we get word on this one!

Jay

It will end well after 11:39.  :hihi:  When I saw them at the Hammerstein just down the street, I drove in and parked.  It was easy as hell.  $26 for parking, split between 3 guys, that's nothing!  It was easy in for the pre-show party, and easy out after the post-show.
Relax and make a night of it!!!

Uhh he won't even hit the stage before then.

I drive in, park on the UWS in a residential area and take the subway from the Museum of Natural History right into Penn.? No parking fees!? : ok:

Garages in the MSG area can cost up to $80 the night of a show.  So if you plan on using one, go a few avenues down and the rates will decrease accordingly-

If you are going to the NJ show they are going to hit you with at least a 15 to 20 buck fee to park your car and there isn't anything you can do to get out of that.

I just went to live nation.com and here are the prices

Continetial Airlines-
Reserved 1: $79.50
Reserved 2: $59.50
Reserved 3: $39.50

Madison Square Garden
Reserved 1: $89.50
Reserved 2: $59.50
Reserved 3: $49.50

and it had a map of the gardens seatin plans and it said it will be general admission, these prices are pretty reasonable considering how much tickets are in these days, i went and saw crue/aerosmith about 2 weeks ago and it was 75 and just barley in front of lawn and i paid 75 4 bon jovi and was in nosebleeds in giant stadium so 90$ for the best seats is great but hey 200 for the best seats at a GNR show is great

If they have GA at MSG I will eat my cowboy hat I just bought in Vegas, I really think they are just using the wrong seating map.  Live Nation also states both shows are reserved seating.  Maybe someone should give a call to the venue manana to clear this one up-

As much as I enjoy a GA show I really don't think they allow this at MSG any longer-

Mustang Harry's was a lot of fun at the May shows.. hope somethin like that happens again.

PS: if there are any presales, who would you contact for the password?

THis is so gonna rock agan!. I will definitly be at both shows! And sis you can stay ove again if you like. :)

Just checked out the website for this place.  Looks good and is right in the area.  Will definitely check this out before the show!

Can someone pick me up some tickets on Saturday please?  I'm getting married that day.  Not sure if I'll be able to get to a computer.  This is going to ruin the honeymoon if I don't get tickets.

Wow..$89.50 for floor is kinda steep.

I think I'll be going with the lower level for $59.50...

yeah, i would love to get presale tickets as last time i got robbed off ebay, paying twice the value for nosebleeds!! i know i know, at least i went, very true, but i want great seats just like hammerstein(front row against the railing 5/12!!) what a great concert that was!!

According to the seating chart, the red section (first elevated level) is $59.50, right? Or am I reading it wrong?

I think so.? I will be going for these as well because me being on a seated floor is useless unless I am in the 1st 2 rows because I am all of 5 ft. 2 and I always wind up with some giants in front of me.?

That red section is practically on top of the floor level anyway.  If you can get seats on the side there you will be REALLY close, much better than being in the back of the floor.  I was in that area for Billy Joel not too long ago and I was amazed at how close I was!

i hear ya Bandita, im only 5'3', it was a major accomplishment getting to the front for the first hammerstein show! lol, i left my friend a few rows behind which i felt bad about, but hes bigger so he could see anyway.

I just hope that the lower level there isn't considered $89.50 as well - is lower level usually cheaper than floor, Bandita?

Sometimes that section is equally as expensive as the floors but it is a much better view than being at the back of the floor if you can get a side seat there.  The one where the numbers run from like the 50s to the 70s they are super close to the floor level, I don't really know for sure though how they will price that area I am only speculating like you-

I guess we won't know til they actually go on sale.  Wish I could be more helpful.

What is true though is that if you don't like what ticketmaster gives you on the 1st shot you can let those tix go and sometimes you even get better ones on the second try, just have a map of the venue open so you can see what they are offering you.  There is no ryhme or reason to what they consider to be better tickets.  For instance, they think that say the 1st level in the back is better than say the 200 level on the side.  In reality I would rather be on an upper level that is closer to the stage, ya know what I mean?

I might run into you at some shows... I'm probably doing the 5, 10 and 13th dates.. so maybe we can say hello at MSG or NJ.   :beer:

That's the scary part, I can't really afford to drop $100 on tickets, but I also don't want to be in the nosebleeds either!

Or a pre-party if someone is kind enough to organize one!  I will wear my new red babydoll HTGTH shirt to at least one of the shows so I should be hard to miss!  Or anyone going can contact me for my MySpace page....ahh hell I will just throw it in my profile.  :beer:

will there be saints among as like last time who'll buy extra tickets and sell em to fellow gunners at face value instead of leaving us to resort to ebay or scalpers?

Haha..with the prices of the MSG show, I'm lucky if I can afford to get myself in!  : ok:

Its MSG last time they went onstage between 10-10:30. Shows at the Garden have to be over by 12 because ofUnion constraints

Dammit. Looks like its the nosebleeds for me.  >:(

From my past experience with MSG that is usually the case unless you are seeing the Rolling Stones or something who charge $400 to be on the floor.? Lower levels near the stage are much better for view anyway, IMO.? I would rather pay the 89 bucks to sit there then somewhere that isn't the direct front of the floor.?

And yes, MSG and Continental arena are pretty strict on time caps for shows.? You are right about that one-

Also, even the 300s sections aren't that bad at MSG if you are to the side of the stage-they only suck if you are in the back at the furthest point from the stage-

Just stay away from the 400 sections, they really SUCK

So I'm guessing the 100 sections (which I'm guessing will be the $60 tickets) are pretty decent then?

Im sorry bit thick here there will be standing here wont there or is it going to be all seater just gotta book my Flight and work out how to book the tickets now fucking ace this is the news i have been waiting for

I'm not sure either but I bet there is standing room at both shows

I'm totally confused - everything I've read says tickets go on sale Saturday at 9am.  I was assuming that was regular ticket sales.  If that is the case, when will the presale be...?  I don't understand how tickets can be on sale in 3 days without the date even being listed on Ticketmaster yet.  Also, when did people get the email for the presale last time around...?  Morning of?

Thanks for any info, & I look forward to seeing EVERYONE at Mustang Harry's again!!!   :beer:

I will definately try to be at one of them. More likely MSG because of the great teachers convention.

o man, i hope i get tickets!! pleeeeeeeease, i need them!!

im trying to get tickets for NJ.
i really want to go to the MSG show but I am going to be in ireland for my cousin's wedding. i tried to get out of it but i already spent $350 on the plane ticket and my cousin got a little pissed off when i brought up the fact that i was thinking about skipping her wedding for a gnr show.
oh well, hopefully ill get to see them in NJ.

I just called MSG and the $89.50 price level is for MOST of the seats

Floor through AND INCLUDING the 200 section.

WTF?

That's insane! I can't afford that shit! What am I supposed to do - sit in the nosebleeds?  :rant:

thats the one thing i hate about msg. why do you have to pay the same amount to sit on the floor as you would to sit in the 200 section. all i can say is that if you have to get the top section, stay away from the corners. if you sit up to by the side of the stage it is horrible. there are certain sections were if you stand up you cant see the stage. ill get the exact location where you SHOULD NOT sit when i get home and look at one of my old ticket stubs. i sat there for eric clapton and it was horrible.

go for 2nd level on the side of the stage

damn that sucks...i called ticketmaster about the toronto show and dude said prolly just the best seats (very bottom 13 or whatever rows) and floor are $85 but he wasn't exactly sure....i dunno i still saly over 80 is steep for a concert :rant: but i'd rather pay that then sit in the rafters :-\

Any info on the best spots to get for the NJ show.

Question to someone who went to the 2002 MSG show...around what time did it start and end?

i am going to have seroius problems getting back home if it ends as late as the hammerstein shows.....

i'd count on it ending around the same time :-\

It started pretty early - like 10-ish, and ended a little after midnight, if I remember correctly. ?It was one of the only shows where we didn't have to wait as long.

ok thanks guys  : ok:

Just read the news.....and now my pants are stained.


PLEASE god let there be a presale.  i suggest we all sign up for the mailing list on the OFFICIAL site now that its up and running again  : ok:

Sign up for the pre-sale NOW!


And regarding ticket prices everyone is talking about.....

I know a lot of people say this....... but I don't give a fuck where I am sat - GNR @ MSG!!!!!!!!

Im all signed up ! Damn getting excited again!

Does anyone know for sure what the story is about GA at the Garden?  That seems so weird for them...

u can buy general admission tix for nyc on ebay

Ok cleared it up - I just called MSG.  The first 4 sections on the floor are GA/pit.  The remainder of the floor is regular seating.  Now I am very torn about where to sit...

Awsome I'll definatley be in the Pit, no question!!!

I printed out a seating chart - you can get them on livenation. it doesn't say for sure if there will be GA pit

FYI to anybody going to the MSG show from NJ -

if you are worried about missing the last train/bus home you can drive to hoboken (exit 14C on the turnpike) and take the path right to 33rd st. the path runs all night so you dont have to worry about missing anything.

Hate to say it man, that place sucks.  Get as close as possible.... God I hate Continental. 

WoW, i won't believe it till I see it....that will be completely insane.

I just wish the tix weren't so expensive  :-\

Credit my friend.  Learn to love it  : ok:

It is pricey for sure.  But welcome to NYC. 

I wonder if we'll get the hammerstein set list.....

That's why if anything, I'm goin for the $60 seats. I'd love to be as close as possible, but its not in the cards..

Nice, that is generally unheard of for MSG unless it's a U2 show.? I knew they wouldn't make the entire floor GA, it's just much too big and people would be killing each other to get to the front.? I guess I will decide when I am actually on ticketmaster where I want to sit.? I have stood for the last 4 shows I saw, not sure what I want to do now.

If you aren't intending to get pit seats I wouldn't reccomend the floor, that's just my opinion.

Burning Hills-the 300's are probably the 60 buck seats and the 400's the even cheaper ones.  You never want to sit in the 400's unless it's your only option.

I had a feeling this would show up today in the village voice, so this was definitly planeed for a while I suppose, but again I love the full page ads!

(http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/3627/gnradca6.jpg)

Oh man now I have to go get this!? They barely sell it where I live, I will have to go all over town :(

Off to Barnes and Noble I go!

Thanks for the heads up Jaz!  I will not forget to pick up a Voice this time!!! 

NP, it just came out today ! :beer:

I can only afford one show-- how much of a difference is there between the NJ and MSG shows-- it would be much easier to get to the NJ show, but I gotta say I i'll feel a bit disappointed if I'm really missing out...

Dude there is no way its easier to get to the NJ show.  Continental is in the middle of the wasteland that is Secaucus where almost no public transportation heads to.  If you are that afraid of using trains and/or buses to NYC then yes NJ is the better show for you.  Either that or you literally live right next door to that pit. 

In terms of transportation, you are absolutely correct.  It's getting out of commitments that is the problem... Trust me, I use that trans system constantly, including to the hammerstein shows, so i know how easy it is to get in and out, though i did not know about the Path system.  I just want to know if the MSG show will be so much better that I should do whatever necessary to see that show over the NJ show.

AT teh level GNR has been playing , I would hope that both shows are consistent in how good. BUt I wont deny that MSG will be fucknig electrical!

Does livenation still say the 6th?

and the flyer says the 5th

Weird.

Thanks for posting that jaz save me a copy if you can

see you @ the show :)

I have to disagree.  I thought that way once.  But then I sat there - last week, at The Who, on the side of the stage in the 400s.  Still great seats.  Great view.  And you're right near a bathroom and beer.  If you've got to get 400s, just make sure they're within the first 3 sections on either side of the stage.

I'm beginning to think 11/6 is a hold date for a 2nd show if the first CAA show sells out- both 11/5 and 11/6 are the only 2 days free on the arenas schedule that week- and all sources have been reporting one date or the other, and the initial leaked date was 11/6. MSG is completely booked except for 11/10 so they can't add a 2nd show there. As for which venue to go to if you can go to one show, MSG without a doubt. As long as the sound guys have there shit together at this show- the sound will be amazing there. That place shakes, you can feel the drums there at the 2002 show. As one poster said, even the 300s aren't terrible there as long as your not center 300s. The sound is even good all the way up in the 400s and skyboxes. CAA has absolutely horrible acoustics- echoes all over the place and you can't feel any bass at all. Plus really lame ushers who need to see your ticket everytime you enter the section(you couldve walked past them 100 times it doesnt matter). There is one easy route of public transportation to that shitty venue though- you can take a bus from the port authority,which is like a 15 min ride. I think it only leaves early though like at 7 so be prepared to be waiting a long time for Axl to come out.

Arghh. I checked 5 stores in my area and OF COURSE they are all out of this issue!

Any kind soul out there want to get me a copy?

BTW, as I was coming home, I had Q104.3 blaring and right as I pulled in my driveway a radio ad came on for GNR at MSG and Continental playing to Welcome to the Jungle.? Promoted by Live Nation as the "Chinese Democracy World Tour"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On a side note, I was at Willowbrook Mall today in NJ, and I noticed Spencer's Gifts had up that sign for the Artist of the Month, and I signed up for that contest.

It's nice to see GNR being promoted in the area! I can't wait to hear that commercial, Bandita.

What's nice is that they are calling it the CHINESE DEMOCRACY WORLD TOUR!

They also said something to the effect of:

THE WAIT IS OVER! ;D

the Aquarian usually has full page ads too, they should have one this week

Well, that one I saw but I didn't flip through it to see if there was an ad.  Man, now I should have.  My county sucks, we don't get anything here and I don't get this being that I am 30 mins from NYC. 

From a post at MyGNR:

Guns N Roses Weekend

http://www.q1043.com/pages/weekend.html

Q104.3 is proud to welcome Guns n Roses November 5th at the Continental Airlines Arena and November 10th at Madison Square Garden. Tickets for both shows go on-sale Saturday 9/30 at 9am. But all this weekend, The Q will be handing them out!

Every time you hear Axl's Q-to-call, be caller 25 at 1-888-872-1043 and you're in for free!? It's all from New York's Concert Station, Q104.3!

thanks for the heads up bandita!

for those keeping track at home...my gf has happily agreed to come to MSG even though its our anniversary. im very happy....!!! see everyone at msg and nj

and for those worried about the trasin times...im pretty sure you will be outta msg by 12/1230....also look at the friday schedules sometimes they are different then during th e week.

i see them going on around 9-10

Thanks Bandita

glad to hear that, kinda thought that would be the case, awesome to hear!

Yay!  That's great for you!   :peace:

is nj on sun or monday?

NJ is on sunday
MSG friday

Thanks for the clarification.  I wonder why it's posted incorrectly on Livenation's site...  ???

well i couldnt tell ya that, but I did post a pic of the add that clearly says frid nov 10th MSG, and sund nov 5 at continental that was in the village voice.

I saw the pic.. I'd love to get my hands on a copy of that.  I'll pay ya for shipping and the paper if you can get me that page  :hihi:

Watch out for me stalking you at these shows and at Mustangs too! :o

I am very creepy, all of 5 ft 2 and barely over 100 lbs. I am quite the menace to society so you better watch out now :rofl:

I changed my signature cause I still have no idea what the NJ date will be!  I don't care I will be there either way!

pm, yeah when I first read this thread this morn, I had a wierd feeling that there would be an add, so in the afternoon, I went out(off from work today), and picked one up, and low and behold I was right.lol

sounds good to me, !

Awesome thinking on your part  :beer:

did you get any extras?

yes I did

I got dibs on 1 of them! : ok:

Well I can't believe that I couldn't get two floor seats for the NYC show. I signed up for the presale, registered for the website, and even tried to get tickets at 9.  Nothing.. MLB fans get a password for it and GN'R fan can't.  That's bullshit..Axl and company redeemed themselves with the Hammerstein Ball room show I went to after the bs that they pulled the last time I tried to see them in Philly..  But MLB fans get a presale password, that is terrible...Way to go axl....I still can't wait for chinese democracy because i've been waiting for years, but i am considering downloading it and not buying it...

Jason

get over it son

get over it son

 ;)

there was no password for the mlb tix.i just clicked on link,paid and got them

So yesterday, at precisely 9 am i go downstairs enter my presale code and buy 4 of the 89.50 tix for MSG. (genera admission). Does anyone know if GA at the garden is the entire floor, or just like a box around the stage (like it was when i saw springsteen at Giants stadium). Plus, the GA is definately on the floor right? Becasue I had Mezz2 general admission tickets to hammerstein and i really want to be on the floor in the garden.

I'm still seeng better seats in the regular TM sale than I pulled yesterday in the presale for MSG. Seems like it is selling much slower than 2002.

Keep in mind, the show was papered to get a news headline in 2002.  It really, did not, sell out in 15 minutes.  I would think this show will be sold out, down the road.  I don't think scalpers are buying blocks of tickets like they did in 2002, so that slows sales a little.

   I just tried under best available and was able to secure 2 GA Floor seats to both the NJ and NY shows.  I was hoping they would be selling faster.  What are your reads on the NJ and NY sales so far?  And how bouts all the other arenas? 

MSG is slower than I expected considering how fast the Hammerstein tickets sold. It will be full come showtime because the NY/NJ market is so huge but it's maybe not a good sign for smaller markets.

Does anyone have 2 MSG tix for sale (preferably GA tix) for $100 a peice? This is all I can afford to spend on the show. Thanks.

You can still buy them at face value (89.50 plus fees) here:

http://web.gunsnroses.com/index.jsp

Still plenty of Lodge level seating via ticketmaster too.  Just checked.

Noone's allowed to sell any tickets here for anything above face value.

Well, after service charges and shipping, 100 bucks is just under face value

it seems the American market is harder than the European one.

104.3 in NYC is giving away tickets all weekend.

MSG will sellout.

Each ticket comes to $101.25 or so after all of the bullshit Ticketbastard charges get added on to them..

Yup, just keep banging away, I did and got my tix at 1pm EST.

Nov 10th MSG

The question would be..will Axl and crew finish the show before midnight, I'd say No..since it's Friday night / Saturday morning.

No kidding. Even if they come on at the scheduled time, they'll only be done around midnight - if it's like Hammerstein they may still be playing at 2am.

At most if worse comes to worse the show will be done by nearly 2am.
I think it was around 1:40am when they did the last Hammerstein Ballroom show.

In other words...it's gonna be quite a semi quiet evening at BB Kings till 2am.

I was just thinking the same thing. God knows when they'll take the stage and/or finish the set. Motley Crue tribute band after party sounds like a great idea, and I'd love to go, but what if the show does on until 2am...will the tribute band wait up? lol

The show looks to be nearing a sell out.

I just bought three  tickets within the last hour which were better than the two pairs I already had.

I know a lot of folks are planning on going for a pre-party, but has anyone actually called yet to see if we can reserve that upper level again?

T

Couldn't we all show up at the same time..coincedence or what :)

MSG is much more strict about their curfew which i think is at 11:30,  Hammerstien's was 1am

I would hate to see what your earlier tickets were.  It's to the back rows now, and will be full shortly, besides "1's" and "2's" which will free up for various reasons.  It is going to be rocking in there!!!

i just tried to get tickets through ticketmaster for MSG and it said there were none available.

guess the show is techincally sold out now. (as far as ticketmaster is concerned).

you can still get tickets through gunsnroses.com but only in the higher sections.

floor is gone, and ill see you all there.

bastards made a liar out of me.

ticketmaster is in the 300s now.

tickets.com will get you possible floor, mostly 200 level though.

Hello folks,
  Nov. 5th question...I've never been to a show at CAA.  Is it within walking distance of bars?  Is it a tail-gate drinking-fest (that wouldn't disappoint me to be honest with you), but does anyone have any idea???  My group of 5 is planning on making a great day of it!  I'm looking forward to meeting some HTGTH members as well.  Please let me know how it works at CAA, thanks!   :peace:

 :beer: 

There are two hotels within walking distance of the CAA - both have bars inside - so you should be in good shape
Definitely an outdoor fest though

Enjoy

The funny thing is even though MSG is a bigger venue I would bet you'd have less turnout at Mustang Harry's  for a preparty. The Hammerstein shows were special because there were so many fans from out of town and from the internet sites that Mustang's just added to the experience. Most people at the MSG show won't be from these sites and they'll mostly be New Yorkers who probably won't care about going to Mustang's. I had a great time there but for these reasons I would think maybe the atmosphere won't be quite the same or as good. I thin the lack of response to this thread is also an indication of that. Hopefully for you guys it is though. :peace:

I'll have a better time sitting in line for the show, personally...

You can't drink in line though :hihi:

haha.. good point, but there was a lot of that at hammerstein.  a few had flasks and i think someone was passing around a bottle of nightrain.  good times  :beer:

Cool!  So tail-gating is allowed??  Awesome!  Any confirmation on this?  Do cops or security have any problems with folks drinking and doing barbecue in the parking lot?

Continental is located in the Meadowlands complex, literally a 5 minute walk across the street from Giants stadium.  Tailgating is not an option, its a necessity.  If you really feel the need, and once in awhile some cops will be ball-busters and bitch about beer and whatnot, then just bring solo cups and you'll be fine.

many many times ive tailgated at CAA before a giants game... its awesome  :peace:

There are some interesting "gentleman's bars" in the area as well if you are into this sort of entertainment although they even look pretty sketchy for what they are.

Stick to the parking lot, a nice cooler full of beer or liquor of your liking, portable BBQ if you have one, and solid Solo cups as the poster above stated :beer:

I got 300s in the presale and then  200s from TM and then better 200s from gunsnroses.com. But it will be the best audience of the tour....MSG rules.

I've seen the last 6 Stones shows at MSG and they all finished just before midnight.

MSG is much more strict about their curfew which i think is at 11:30,  Hammerstien's was 1am

I dont know about that, since but after 2002 , maybe things changed or Axl was in the mood to bet an early start.

BUt the 3 shows at MSG in 1991, seriously the band literaly dindt come on all 3 nights, till almost midnight, and ended well after 2:20am. And axl even said he didnt care about paying 25,000 an hr in fees, for playing over. He was having a good time.

Ill do mustangs again, for sure!

Why would Mustangs be an issue, the board member count on attendance to this show is pretty high and we even have some overseas folks.  Count us plus whomever we are going with to the show and I think it will be a great turnout! :beer:

The band isn't even set to come on until 10 making an 11:30 exit impossible and I am sure the venue is already aware GNR isn't probably going to go on on time and they aren't going to play a 1.5 hour set to make the curfew.  Axl will pay the fines, many artists have in the past.  Pearl Jam did it for one, just a few years back for instance...

There are 2 openers and the 1st one starts @8, so feasibly the earliest we could see Axl and Co. is 10:30 but I think even that may be too early.  Their set runs about 2 hours and 15 mins already running over curfew if you do the math....

MSG isn't gonna want a riot on their hands and they already agreed to this show knowing the consequences and Axl's fashionably late appearances....

That was my thinking, cause no way in hell the show will be over by midnight, with all the set changes, between, and stuff, come on, lol, abusrd, really. And they made this one a friday night, so expect along night, all,like myself goin!
Actually my tix stub said , back in 91, GNR around 8pm.lol

I don't think the words "curfew" and "Guns N' Roses" go together in the same sentance. There is no way in hell the MSG show will end before 11:30pm

Don't expect this to be the year Axl goes on stage on time and have a show done by midnight.  Should be interesting and fun and Mustang's is good for me as well.
 Bring on the night.

Look, the hammerstien has a 1am curfew and of the 4 times in may gnr played there, the latest it ended was 1:40, I was there all 4 nights and axl got on stage around 11 every night knowing he could pull off a 2 hour set, and still make the curfew.

I really dont think the msg show will go past 1230, and then the after party at  BB Kings will start a little late, big deal

how good are these seats? how close/far from the stage am i?

Seat location: section 97, row H, seat 11

sec 97 is god enough...u r at the back of msg, but in low level, much better than being in any 300 or 400 sec : ok:

I've never been to a concert in CAA, but many hockey games and wrestling events when I was little.

But is section 125 good? looks like its the farthest part of the arena away from the stage but i think it'll be good.

Including me, I've got a group of 5 coming up to Jersey for the Nov 5 show.  I've got another guy who wants to go, but it looks like GA is sold out.  If anyone here at the board has someone pull out or has an extra GA seat, I can get you face value plus fees which I think is about $105.   Thanks folks!   :peace:

You can see a view of the stage from any section here (choose concert from the pulldown menu):

http://www.thegarden.com/msg_seating.html

I don't think I'll be attending Mustang's this go around...Everyone was really as helpful as possible the last go around, but between leaving my wheelchair downstairs unattended and not having as much mobiliy as i would've liked to go around and introduce myself, I doubt I'll be there.  Maybe I'll pop in on the ground level and see if anyone is hanging out there for a bit.  If there are any smokers, we can hang out front for a few.

If the "cd" does not come out before these two shows I won't go to them? :rant:

i might have an extra for you...i bought 4 seats and I think only 3 people will be going with us...I'll find out for sure in the next couple days if you'd like?

i have 2 extra tix to the garden....pm if interested

I will be going to MSG! I definately need to meet up with some of you guys.

Hi,
This is my first post, although I have enjoyed reading this board since sometime in March.
I have an extra pair of tickets for the November 5th show at the Meadowlands.
They are on the floor.
Section 1, row S. Seats 3 and 4.
This is one of the three sections on the floor with seats behind the GA area. According to the seating chart, this section is to the right of the mixing board. I paid $207.40 for the two...the ticket price, plus all of Ticketmaster's wonderful extra charges (Just what is the "convenience charge" for !?!?!?). I'm not scalping them, I would just like to get the amount I paid for them.
I should be getting them in the mail soon. If you live in Central or Northern NJ, I'd be willing to meet somewhere to make the money/ticket exchange. If interested, please PM me.
Thanks,
Tom

I only paid 203 with ticketbastards extra's at MSG :hihi:

Yeah - that's how much two tickets for me came to as well with the damn "convenience fees" - what's so convenient about those fees anyway?  :rofl:

After shipping...223.  Bastards.

I have them send them to me via regular mail. I can't see paying extra for shipping.  :rant:
What I think is really screwed up on their part is that Ticketmaster charges a premium if you want your tickets emailed to you. It probably costs them LESS than sending the tickets in the mail, but they figure people are willing to pay for getting the tickets instantly.

Yeah, its unfortunate.  I bought tickets for a friend in NM and I'm in PA... so I wanted them fast so he could book his flight, hotel, etc.

in 2002 MSG sold out in 15 minutes....this makes no sense....anyone?

No promotion, no single, no album... no surprise.

100% Accurate!

i mean i couldn't have said it any better!

They better get humpin on promotion and release dates.  :yes:

not many seats left i jsut searched ticketmaster and best seats available was the very back of the highest section...sold out in less than a week with virtually no promotion is pretty damn good IMO

Good point.  It seems people have been inconsistent in their reports...  some say selling well, others claim to be getting great seats...  I guess it depends what time of day they check

 :-\

LMFAO

Put it this way, they have sold more tickets during the first four days of it being on sale, than they did in 2002.  That was a press release sell out--papered.   BTW, MSG is a few hundred tickets away from being sold out right now.  If anyone would check ticketmaster for availibility for lower level tickets in 2002, and compare it to this tour, there is a huge difference.  Overall, ticket sales are doing way better.  I mean, way better than 2002!!  Many of the shows in 2002 had like 6000 people at them.  I think, already, every show barring Fresno and Bakerfield (two smaller markets) have sold more than that already.  I think GNR, also, get a huge walk-up at the gate, when many people find out they are playing due to heavy media on the day of the show, or waited until showtime to buy tickets because they did not know if they would show up.  Really, though, MSG is virtually sold out as we speak.  Count your blessings, that the fans were able to get tickets this time, as opposed to the papering that happened in 2002.  One other point, in 2002, GNR did not play across the bridge at the Meadowlands.  They are this year.

well i searched for a pair...maybe if you search for a single you get better results ;)

Plus they just played four shows there a few months ago.

Not really when you compare selling out in 15 minutes in 2002 but taken nearly a week (and counting) to sell out now. Surely People should be going nuts over seeing GnR but no wait as said no promo no single no album, the excitement and buzz of GnR being "back" (I use that word loosely) faded after the 2002 tour collasped and now more then ever they need the album if they want this tour to sell well.

yeah true but as was pointed out by holtzmn73 & Minneapolisnewsman they played four shows in NYC 4 months ago and there is a venue very near with virtually the same seating capacity selling at the same time...it'll be sold out no doubt who cares how long it takes? :-\

ummmm ticket prices???  You would be surprised that there are people on this board who are skipping shows because of money issues or not buying the tickets they want. 

  The New Jersey show seems to be selling at a very slow pace.  As of yesterday you could buy 6 lower level tickets.  Anyone want to confirm this? 

yeah they are at the very back though and high up (row 22)....toronto has basicall the same available just too far away for the price people would rather be closer to the stage and higher up

but basically half sold out is pretty good IMO

ping

I saw an advertisement for both MSG & Continental yesterday @ around 40th & 7th... Looked exactly like the Hammerstein ones, exact with different dates and venues...

I am guessing once we get a single, and the tour promotion hits full steam that most of the shows should sell out. I like the way the first leg of the tour is laid out, and I think its laid out for more shows to be sold out. Cleveland for example is the only Ohio show, if they promote it well enough it should sell out. As for MSG give it time the place will be a sell out.

Because there are 3 guitar players!!? :rofl:

humour here...don't slam me... :hihi:

they have been promoting the hell out of the show on radio stations here in NY (specifically Q104.3.) A lot of people know they are coming around. its weird that the show hasnt sold out yet.

2002's sellout was a press sellout. It was papered, and more seats came available after. Seems like it's a real sale this time.

Well I hope you guys are right. I have 4 extra ticket for sale for the NJ show and hoping to get rid of them at no mark up just what I paid for them.
I hope it sells out or close to it so I can get my money back.

I panic'd and bought the firts 4 i could get, but they are not good for taking my kids like I am. To close to the action for them.

How is section 1 seating at NJ. Are those good seats. Do they elevate them since they right behind GA?


The tickets I'm going to use are in section 123

What is all this talk of a papered/media sell out?? What's that mean exactly?? They put less tickets on sale so it would sell out and then put more on sale later on?

gunsnroses.com has scattered lodge and upper level available it looks like:
http://purchase.tickets.com/buy/TicketPurchase?agency=GNR&pid=5859304

I was there at MSG... there was a large amount of people who came expecting to see the original lineup... I think its settled in by now to most that it is a new band.

If GnR's not going to release new material they don't deserve to sell out any of these venues. I'm sick of getting fucked over. This could potentially be the second time I see "The Chinese Democracy Tour" without having "Chinese Democracy". I thought for sure we would have a single this week, but hey the band is doing some killer promotion by putting up a video of Axl and his all star backing musicians playing the GnR classic "Paradise City". ?

Chil out dude, we still got time for a single to be released before the tour.  : ok:

MSG will be sold out as will most other places. I checked ticketmaster yesterday and only singles were available in the higher sections.

And for some reference, dont be worried about sellouts. Listen to this, The Chili Peppers just played the TD Banknorth Garden in Boston and it wasnt sold out, I could've still gotten tickets the day of if I wanted to go. Also, Tool is playing at the Hartford Civic Center tomorrow, and the dj on Lazer 99.3 said today that the show wasnt even sold out.

GN'R aint got nothing to worry about.

People, some of you are beyond reach.  You just post non-stop non-sense.  One can always get tickets to the upper level areas of a loge or the upper levels of shows--all shows all artists.  Look, the NJ show is damn near full.  Of course one can pull up four seats together at the back of the lower or upper levels.  If it was half full, you could request six tickets, and get them for row three, of the lower level at the loge which would be diagonal from the stage.  Good god the stupidity....

Second of all,  for the hundredth time--when shows are publisized as sold out, 99 out of 100 times one can go to ticketmaster, and buy tickets right up to show time.  Sell outs really only happen on the night of the show.  For gods sake, there are always more tickets to sell--this is business.  Also, brokers may buy a 100 tickets on the date of the show, and return 60 a few days later--one day after that, they are back on sale through ticketmaster. 

One could get lower level groups of three and four to the MSG 2002 show up until show-time.  But, because Clear Channel said it was a sell out (for the damn press release), everyone here believes it was a sell out.  These are not small arenas--there are always extra seats.  Heck, before you know it, they will be selling seats at the top level directly behind the stage, and people here will say "it's selling bad, I can get a whole group of five seats in the upper loge at a 45 degree angle behind the stage--ticket sales must be slow."  Wake up!!!

They sold 24 000 tickets in ~20min in Finland. That's pretty damn good IMO.

Exactly, and one could still log onto the system and find more or buy more on the show date at the gate.  :yes:

This couldn't be better said.  GNR paranoia is kicking in.  Can't we be greatful we have a tour and are able to see the band we love instead of pretending to be record execs, marketing experts and the like?  Personally I am greatful there are still tickets available because it is keeping scalpers from making money.

I won't be satisfied till I have Chinese Democracy in my CD player and iPod. Honestly, I don't think i'm asking for too much.

I gotta say - I got 8 seats thru a friend and he swore to me after the first day that there was not a whole lot available at MSG - He did say that Contintental would have gotten me better seats ( my msg seats are average at best ) - and this guy gets them from someone who works for Ticketmaster

The fact that they don't sell as fast as Springsteen or U2 should not surprise anyone - No album in 15 years dudes, relax - it's gonna take time

You show up at the Garden on the 10th and you will not see many open seats - trust me

Very well said.  Thanks for that!

cause no one wants to sit up in the mezz and 300 section, when you go to the meadowlands and sit close, you ll pay more, but fuck it .... the garden will be pack anyway

I'd like to think that I'm not asking too much when I say I won't be satisfied until you stop posting the same thing ad nauseum, but history has shown that I'm destined to be disappointed. All we can do is keep hoping and try to stay positive. ?: ok:

absolutely, we cant control if and when CD gets released, but we can control if we go see GNR at a concert.  so we cant worry about the things we cant control, what we can do is enjoy the things we can

I am sure this concert will sell out.  Axl in top form at Madison Square Garden? Concerts don't get any better than that.

That's why this is the show I wanted to see - Axl always gives NYC something special!

Its already almost sold out aint it?

One things' for sure,
Mr. Axl Rosenberg picked a wrong nite to play in front of the largest Jewish audience outside of Israel.
It's Friday Nite, time to light the Sabbath candles & chill out for me. ;D

I'll be seeing him & his GNR at Continental Airlines Arena on Sunday Night 11.5.2006

It will be a great show. I recommend all non-Jews to see this show.
I hope there the set list is 40-60, new to old material. In other words, maybe 3 new songs to the mix for 6-7 songs.

MNW

LOL. That's the 1st thing I thought about when the MSG show was announced. i was like "Friday night? it's Sabbath, lol".? ;D
Anyway, it could have been worse, they could have played during Kippour :hihi:

well on firstgnr show.tickets for 39$ are soldout

It seems to be sold out now, there are no tickets available anymore at ticketmaster...

Looks to be scattered singles left over in the 300s, and pairs in the 400s but that's it.
gunsnroses.com looks to have some 200s and some in section 35 (back of the arena) left, but that's it.

It'll be a sellout by the day of the show. Of this, I am sure!  : ok:

Didnt the show in 2002 sell out in 15mins with no single or Album?

In 2002 didnt they add an other night?

These are real questions.....

Funny.  There is what, 10 million people in New York.    The Garden holds what like 18 thousand?

Here in Edmonton there is around 800 000 people.   Our areana hold around 17 thousand.   And we are selling out faster than New York?   

What is up with that

i have 2 tix for msg...please pm me if interested...thanks

exactly.  msg will more then likely be the best show of the tour.

I'm not going to get into a discussion about religion, but what you just said is not only dumb, it's almost offensive. I'm a jew myself, and I'm going to the MSG show, regardless of what day they're playing on. And to say "I recommend all non-jews see the show" is horrible. As if all jews should stay home because it's the sabbath? I don't think so. I'm not a practicing jew so sabbath means very little to me, and I'm sure many other jews feel the same and will be in attendance that night at the Garden. If you're not going to the show because of religious beliefs, you should keep them to yourself.

besides bach who eles is going to open for guns nov 10??

Check the threads in the On Tour section for pre-show info.  : ok:



/jarmo

thank you topgunner. i couldn't had said it better.

Was just on ticketmaster, and you can no longer get 2 tickets together for the GNR show on 11/10...guess it's almost sold out

 ;Di got my tickets for msg in the mail today!!!   

Got mine today too!  : ok:

Those things are getting locked in a safe place until the 10th!

yes they are!!!

if any1 is interested in 2 tix for msg please pm me

I still have my two extras. They just came in the mail yesterday. Send a PM if interested.
Thanks.

According to an email from Live Nation:


"Guns N' Roses have just sold out the world renowned Madison Square
Garden (Nov 10) and it won't be long until New Jersey's Continental
Airlines Arena (Nov 5) reaches capacity as well."

Should be an awesome show! : ok:

sweet!  I will be amongst the sold out crowd that night.  I can't wait.

Awsome  : ok:

Some more of the canadian shows should be soon to follow.  Plus I think they have chance to sell out the 3 ampitheatre shows in LA, and Chicago.

That rules!! awesome news, thank you!

Chill out & have some Manischewitz, it'll calm you down.
Just trying to be funny - have a sense of humor for once.

MNW

I'm jewish, and i feel pretty guilty about going to this show, I'm going anyways but besides the point, it would be very wrong for me to recommend another jew to going to this show. me going is bad enough.

There's nothing wrong with what mark said, if he would have started preaching how evrey jew that goes to the show deserves death, that would be a little offensive. but the fact that he only reccomends this show for non-jews is pretty commendible.

just got my tix :o

to practising Jews; the Sabbath is sacred.  And the poster has a point that NYC has the highest Jewish poulation outside of israel and if you expand that to NY;NJ;CT; probably a higher jewish population than Israel.

if you're not a practising jew, why bother commenting on a practising Jew's concert going habits......you should :-X

what really sucks is the show at the hammerstein; i nevver got my tickets; had to wait inline at the wilcal window, and still had to pay ticketbastards handling and conveniance charge; and it was anything but conveniant :rant:

Any news on whose opening for these shows? I pray it isn't Avenged Sevenfold.

Here's a better idea. If you wanna stay at home cause you value your religion, do that. If you value the best friggin' band in the entire world, Guns N' Roses, and wanna rock out at a now sold out MSG show, do that instead.

Now everyone is happy

I cant agree more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn't GnR a religious experience?  ;D

anybody here going to see "Download Festival: The Movie" next thursday?

Seriously, religion, race, creed, gender, sexuality-none of these belong in this thread.  This is about people going to shows to see the best band in the world and having a great time doing so.  If you plan on staying home for whatever reason be it religious belief or anything of the sort it really just does not belong here because it almost seems as if you are condemning someone else who isn't following what you are doing.

Except of course if you follow the Cult of Axl Rose, that is always accepted, haha! :P

Where is it playing?

so,you're man like everybody here

i'm ortodox,but i was incatolic church

think about this "if god excist,every man is his child,and all we are the same."
i hate people who hate somebody on religion or natinal belong

HOLY F*CKING SH*T!!! ENOUGH!!!

No more religion!!! This is a message board and thread about Guns and Roses, not about how your religious practices fit into the equation of GNR...BECAUSE THEY DON'T.

You're jewish? Good, now shut up. You're Catholic? Good, keep quiet. Atheist? Fine, whatever.

This is a place to worship Axl and the other members of Guns N' Roses. if you're not here to worship them, then SHUT UP!!!..........and go to hell  : ok:

Well of course Ill be at the show next thurs, at Union SQ!, Meet Up?

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anybody is selling or knows where i can get, VIP GA tickets. Just found out my tickets are for BACK GA and im pretty pissed about it because i thought i was going to be in the front. if anyone has or knows somebody who is trying to get rid of extra tickets, please PM me and let me know. these shows are gonna be bad ass regardless, i cant wait! thanks!

um dude i was almost positive that GA was only 1 section and there isnt a back or front, i think they only put numbers on the tickets like GA seat 124 just so they know how many people are there and whatnot, GA is general admission as they let u go where u want to

Not sure how it works at Continential Arena with the entire floor being GA but yo don't suppose they section it off for crowd control do you??
hmm..just a thought..but like I said I've never been to the former Meadowlands Arena where the entire floor is GA.

At least at the Garden the front portion where sections 1-4 are GA'ed.

There are 2 sections

VIP GA=Front
BACK GA=Back

It says clearly on your ticket which one you are-

Also see the seating map on the Meadowlands for detail:

http://www.meadowlands.com/eventDetail.asp...mp;eventid=2679 (http://www.meadowlands.com/eventDetail.asp?navID=6&eventid=2679)

On the right shows the seating map which clearly indicates 2 GA sections for this event.

(http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e221/banditaunit74/gnrseating.jpg)

(http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e221/banditaunit74/continental1.jpg)

In the center as always is a center sound mix stage area, so that is probably the reason for the front and back GA, so as not to interfere with the mix stage

Actually as per ticketmaster whom I spoke with for over an hour regarding this they told me it was done at the request of the promoter after the show had already gone on sale.? They even gave me a refund because of it and I bought VIP tix for face from someone else.

People just seemed to get randomly grouped to either the back or VIP and I bought my tix the minute the TM presale started.? Go figure-

The mix is in the back as you can see in the pic-

Also, now I see where I read the parking lot doesn't open til 5:30, it's right there on that page-

Last show I saw at continental was Pink Floyd , in 88....so its been awhile for me being there. but I tink it was called, Bredan Bryan Arena then or something like that.

Haha, yup that's what it used to be called.  Brendan Byrne Arena or however it's spelled.  I can't even believe they are allowing GA for this at all, I haven't seen them allow it there since the early 90s.

On that note I am off to bed! :peace:

In my mind it'll always be the Meadowlands Arena...

And with the GA at MSG..it's already established...the front will be GA..the seats will be behind us....YEAH!!!!!!

check out the craigslist

plenty of people are selling tix

i'm hoping the msg show  is the one where they play some diff material.. i'm not complaining about the set list.. i totally understand.. that they are playing the songs that fans at the shows want to hear.. but they just played 4 shows here in may.. i went to 2 and they were awsome.. and i saw them at msg in 02..   so i think this is a situation.. where it wouldn't just be the "losers on the internet"  complaining about the set list.. but i think the fans at the show would welcome some changes to the 4 shows in May.  plus this is a huge market.. so a new song would get a ton of press ect.. and would be priceless promotion for the album.. if its going to drop this year..

For meadowlands what is the dael with section 1,2 & 3 will that be elevated some so you can see over mix area and GA???

haha yep, that was it.  Last show I saw at Continental (Brendan Byrne) was NIN when they opened for David Bowie back in 1994 I believe.  God, I can't believe its been that long.  I did see the Nets play there last season though.  Should be interesting. 

So who all is tailgating?  I am rolling 6 deep and we have a thirst for alcohol.  We will all be drunk and obnoxious.  Any organized thing going on in the parking lot?

Reliogion is based on money, money is the root of all evil, yadda yadda, also religion is practiced in church and at home.  It is not discussed on gnr message boards.  So please stop, no one here gives a dam how guilty you feel  or if your going to whatever hell your religion says you are.  Anyway I cant wait for the show in N.J. Maybe we will get one of those unheards. Probably the Msg show is where some news will come out via axl, either way I cant wait!

Oh, and does anyone know if the NJ show is sold out yet?

I think it's funny that after the Del article, anyone that says they want to hear new songs at a show, are so quick to say afterwards, "I'm not complaining about the setlist or anything."  A week ago that wouldn't have been said. All of a sudden all of these people that constantly bitched about the set, have magically become "The perfect fan." I'm not directing this post at you either, but this was like the 10th "I'm not complaining about the setlist," I've read in two days, so I had to make a comment because some people are hilarious. "I don't want to look like one of those fans that Del was talking about in the article. I don't want to be a bad fan."

that is indeed funny.

i heard bon jovi bought 30 tivkets,for hin,his family and friends

any particular meet up spot for sunday? pm me or write back here

I have plans for MSG and, yes, I hope to hear something that I didnt hear at Hammerstein.

its only my gut  that says that at MSG things will be a bit different than previous only for the fact that they did this show 4 times already here.

i`d almost go as far as saying they did this show 5 times in new york.....

i think it`s going to be the first town they play on this tour, that they played in 2002 as well right?

i guess we`ll definitely see some of these great options being thrown in there : ok:

I am going to the Nov. 5th show alone. So if there is any preparty or after party going on, I would really like to know about it. I am a little nervous about going by myself.

And for anyone still debating on going- I just went on ticketmaster, and you can get 2 floor tickets. And you can get 6 tickets in the lower level.

better off going on stubhub, floor tickets going as low as 48 bucks a piece. i was gonna only go to msg, but then i figured what the heck, nj is so cheap for ga.  worked out good 4 me : ok:

I just got an email for GNR.com saying that released some tickets for the MSG show. If anyone is still looking for tickets to that show, let me know and I can forward you the email so you can see what kind of tickets are available.

I got the e-mail too

I think everyone who is registered to the official site just got that email. ?Just some lower level seated sections left though-

OOOhhhh man, it's so hard to NOT buy tickets to this show (for me)  I want to go but I know that I really can't  :nervous: 

y not?

I got the email, and it means one thing, this show is NOT sold out.  They held back tickets to give the ILLUSION of a sell out.  Hopefully enough tickets are bought in the next week that it does sell out for real.

Work  :'( 

How are the floor seats for MSG numbered? Left to right or right to left? I'm asking because i'm in FL Sec. 5, Row H (8th row), and seats 1 & 2. Am I on the aisle or all the way to the right?

I'm sure the MSG show is sold out.  Could be just a few releases...who knows.  Pretty awesome that they did that though!

Umm No it doesn't mean anything besides that some orders which were previously placed did not go through for whatever reason. ?This is being run through tickets.com and as we know they just started mailing orders for this show. ?Why be negative for no reason? ?Don't you have anything better to do? ?It also could mean that a section that previously might have been obstructed turns out to be OK now after they figured the stage set up-

This happens all the time-

Looks like its just some scattered singles and pairs. I just checked, and I can't buy more than one ticket in most sections..

Just got an e-mail - they say there are a limited number of seats on sale for MSG...

Hey burning hills did you get your tixs for 11/5?

When I 1st clicked on it they had like 5 sections open. Now I see only 3-

Hey man - I'm only going to MSG - not NJ. But my friends just got their MSG tix from tickets.com today, so we're all good for the show!  :peace:

8 days and counting..and then the madness & debachuary begins.

Regarding about those tickets opening up in some sections...I'm wondering if those sections were originally part of the pre sale via tickets.com?

That is what I am guessing since they just sent their tickets out and they are the ones doing this sale as well.  Probably just orders that didn't happen for whatever reason.  Some pretty good sections they are offering though-

I got the email my self

It's just strange stuff...

I don't recall those sections being offered in pre sale at all..I remember 122, 125..more towards where MSG curves..cause if it was those sections offered during presale I would have jumped on those over GA..

Thus I wonder.....but no matter..8 days and counting.
