Two words:

"HELL"

and

"YES"

Holy motherfucking shit. This is awesome.
I hope they'll do the same when they're in Europe  ;D

tbh not worth the money

FUCK! That would be DREAMY! i'd even pay more for that! :D

i know people that have been on these things and everytime they have said it was not worth the money.  What are you actually getting apart from a normal seating or standing ticket?  Backstage tour?  Not definate to meet any band members, especially before the gig.  Pre Show party?  Again, suprised if any band members are hanging around.  Gift bag?  Maybe a t shirt, key ring etc.  Laminate?  Woo hoo.....

So if that is all it is then I honestly don't think it is worth the money.  Of course, I could be wrong and the GNR experience may be different but I am guessing this is something the arena or promoters have organised and not the band...

Just my 2 cents of course

I'd do it for the backstage tour. As long as people don't go in expecting to meet Axl, no one should be disappointed.

Looks like I'm going to Canada...

I would be all over this

Generally, these things aren't worthwhile. It's usually a tour of an empty backstage and a party with Coke's and a veggie tray. You are usually paying money (~$200, in this case) for a tshirt, lanyard and coffee mug. With that said, I'm sure Bumblefoot and Frank may stop by some of these parties, depending on where they are at that time.

The ones the fans do seem to enjoy are the MEET AND GREETS, not these fan packages.

Exactly what I thought.  If people want to do this then all good for them.  All I am saying is do your research and don't expect that much

You forgot the fact that it says you get priority access ("general admission standing floor ticket, with priority access")...

In other words, doesn't that mean you get to enter before the rest of the ticket holders?


For somebody who'd love to be up front, but doesn't want to stand in line all day in Canada in the middle of winter, that might be worth something....





/jarmo

Yeah but $300???!!! :confused:

The stage looks like it will be slightly different with three 'tentacles' coming off the main area. Maybe, the priority would be to be inbetween these runways.

Did Axl talk about not ripping off fans with these packages in his online chat last year? I vaguely remember something along those lines.

These packages are common practice among most big acts these days and usually have very little to do with actual band input. Let's hope this isn't the case.

I thought you got more than early access for that...

Didn't somebody list the items already?




/jarmo

howd you come to that conclusion?

Have I missed something - since when did we know what the stage looked like?

we dont know what it looks like but here is the seating chart for Guns in Hamilton ontario:

(http://media.ticketmaster.com/en-us/tmimages/venue/maps/tor/30384s_a.gif)

Gunsguy

That's identical to the normal end stage seating chart at Copps.

See http://www.ticketmaster.com/seatingchart/131078/30385 and choose End Stage, then choose GN'R. They're identical.

I mainly point this out because GNR's stage may not have those arms - so don't pick your section based on that ;)

never noticed that thanks

Gunsguy

Nice for those who can do it, and yes dont go in with high expectations, just enjoy it and if surprises happen its even better for you.!

That's cool, but I kind of agree it seems a bit pricey, for me at least.  Though that's easy for me to say since I don't live in Canada.  If this was offered more within my geographical range I may have a tough time turning it down.  Hell I paid over $200 to see Van Halen on their last tour and had seats in the second tier.

i would definitely buy that package when they come to the US

well i'd do it, but my friends aren't as big of fans as i am (+ i know they, like myself are gonna barely have enough $$$ 4 the tickets & hotel fees let alone this kind of package!) ... so i'll just stick with GA  & wait out in the cold 4 a spot up front!  :smoking:

I'm sure Axl would drop in on a few of them. I would love to pay 295.00 if they offer them in the states.

I don't think it is great for GA it might get you a better shot at the rail but dosn't mean you will stay at the rail.  to get within the first 8 rows closest to the stage I think it is not a bad deal plus you get in early can shop before everyone.  The price is not that bad compared to many other shows.  However this option would mean 1 show VS going to both of them and that is just not worth it.  I would rather go to both shows. 

That is not being promoted so I would not expect it. 

exactly, this is something Metallica does for their fan club members...They are allowed to enter the arena 2 hours before everyone else...It is awesome to see GNR now going this route as well.. : ok:

great opportunity for those going to the shows.  congrats to the winners!  :peace:

Someone is really trying to shit on the idea.  If you aren't fond of it, don't get it.  Don't shit on everyone else's goodtime.

I would buy it if I didn't work for the band.

Is there a possibility of getting this in the future concerts, in Europe for instance?

Sure but then we most likely have to pay 295 Euros...just a slight difference of 120 euros......
Oh well, perhaps i'm going to see a show in NY again...and then i might pay those extra $$, just so i don't have to wait in line and run for a good spot at front ;)...lazy me :smoking:

Fernando,

I am not shitting on everyone else's good time.  I have already said that if people want to do it then, good on them and I hope they enjoy it.  All I was saying was that people need to research the offer and what it actually involves before spending $300 which is a fair amount of money for most people.  Tickets and offers are all about choice.

it's on there'll be all members of the group  ???.


pre-show party  :-\,I prefer the after party, just to have a drink after the show quietly  :beer:.

In any case if the offer is made in Europe, I am trying   : ok:

For those of you getting on a high horse about how "expensive" this is, please remember that groups like Poison & Tesla charge between $500 and $700 for this type of thing and people like Bon Jovi and Van Halen charge between $1000 and $1500

I'd use that money to go and see the band in some other city. But I think this is great for those who want to be sure to get to the first row..

The way I see it, this is my favorite band, and will be the second time I have traveled out of the country to see them, I am going to take complete advantage of this offer, nothing could dissapoint me at this point, it is pure adrenaline from here on out, besides we are driving so I don't have to consider airfare this time around, so why the heck not, besides as I have previously mentioned the Montreal show on the 27th is my 20th wedding anniversary, and I can't think of a better way to celebrate.  Thanks GNR, for such a fine offer :yes:.
 
I believe we paid around $700 a piece for front row center stage ticks when they toured in 06 for the Reno show that got cancelled twice, dissapointing they cancelled, but for the album to be finished, I am satisfied it was for good reason, but I am a front row hog when it come to these guys, can't help myself, I will pay$$$$$ lol.

And some can only see one show no matter what.... You know, they might just be busy.





/jarmo

I think I would pay for it for one show, just to do it. And if they were seats and not GA. Every GA show I've been too, I don't show up until like 10 and I've never had a problem getting to the front. Plus, band or no band, it would be pretty kick ass to get a backstage tour.

Anyone else notice that they are no longer offering bowl seating? This is exclusively GA Floor Standing ticket now? Is it just me or did they take away regular seating?

Yeah I know, and I'm not saying it's stupid to buy this package. I just spoke for myself.

Yeah, I agree.  If this was three years ago and I was flush with cash and not as broke as I am now, I'd for sure go for one of these packages.  But as it's not 2006 and 2009, I'm left with the decision of paying $200 to see two shows (Toronto and London), and if I can swing it later and afford to buy a cheap ticket to Hamilton, I'll do that.  Really would be cool to meet some of the band members if that was actually happening, thank them for the ten other times I've seem them since 2002.  But oh well, I'm sure they're not dying to meet me and would rather have another warm body taking up space at the show.

27 minutes till pre-sale begins! Very exciting!

Cheers,

Andrew

I'd most likely buy it, if I had the money to   :hihi: :peace: I think it's cool that there's an option to purchase something like that, no one's forcing anyone to  ;)

It's hard to compare this package with others, since most of the higher priced packages are for Meet and Greets and not just guaranteed good seats and a gift bag. We'll have to see how they work. It's hard to tell, since none of these have happened yet. I did the backstage/meet and greet with Velvet Revolver a couple years ago. It was well worth the $250. Then again, I hung out with Duff, Slash and Matt for awhile, so of course I was happy. Duff, Slash and Dave each gave me a guitar pick and then we got a picture with the band. The things I least cared for were the pre-party and backstage non-sense. On this particular package it was just sitting in the bar in the basement with other fans with some pop and chips. I guess, just be careful.

Fernando, could you shed any light at all on whether the band has any knowledge of these packages being available? Thanks!

When you think about it, this probably isn't a bad deal for some people. You get a ticket (which could cost close to $100 after all the bullshit fees); a T-shirt (I think I paid $40 or so at the last show); a party (not sure what you get but probably something to eat and drink (which you could tack another $20-$40 on); free parking (ranges from $20-$40); and several incidentals (including possibly meeting band members). I'm not saying it's a good deal for everyone, but  I wouldn't immediately shoot it down.

Hmm I don't think this is worthy... at least for the front row part.

For my personal experience, you can get to the front row without having to wait for hours outside the venue. Just start pushing a bit before open act starts  and voila, you're there.

Prices dictate the market. If they were cheaper then we'd essentially all be going backstage. What a clusterfuck that'd be.

I'm sure the band would not like 10,000 people running around backstage when they are getting ready to melt your faces with some tunes.

Its a hassle for them to some degree. Don't bitch about the prices. Be glad they do it at all. The fact they do it is super cool, IMO.

Good points.


These things wouldn't exist if there was no demand for them.

If you attend a lot of shows and always make the front row, don't care for parking, merchandise or food, then it's probably not for you.




/jarmo

Whoever goes through the VIP package first, make sure to write a report!  :beer:

Yeah I'm sort of in the same boat.  I'd have no problem forking over the money myself, but I know damn well none of my friends would do the same.  But if any of them even had a hint of interest, I'd be all over it.  If they play the US sometime in the near future I'd try my best to go to multiple shows, but if that wasn't possible and a package like this was offered, I may opt for that.

I got VIP for Jan 24 and 25. I'll put a review up.

god, it's humilating that these so called "fans" shit over everything to the point that fernando's gotta come put 'em in their places!  LOL!  'Nando PWNED you.

it's so awesome that they let you work for the band.  what kinds of stuff do you do?

A few things here...

1)Who are you to call him "'Nando"?
2)These "fans" are entitled to their own opinions on what htey want to spend. Not all FANS will spend the $300 for the package. There aren't that many available (I'm sure...) and for some it just isn't a feasible option. Since you're such a big FAN -- buy a ticket and ride your big-wheel on up to Canada. That is, if Mommy lets you.


Just because someone doesn't want to shell out a good amount of money to see a show, does not make them any less of a fan. Some have more money than others and will spend it how THEY SEE FIT. Others value money more and can find more things to spend it on that would be more beneficial to them.

And as for "'Nando" -- do some research and figure it out yourself.

anyone notice they took the link down. You can't order it anymore.

Rock on  :beer:


Took the link down from ticketmaster? On the first page, the link to the official website still is running so hopefully they are still in order.

Or maybe they sold out? Anyone have info on this?

When you enter the password it says access denied. when you go to iloveallaccess.com Gnr is not on that page anymore.

Holy shit, please tell me people aren't bitching over 300 bucks

do u see what all u fucking get?

Kiss charge 1 thousand dollars!!!!!!!!!!





U let GNR tour the US and offer that package and I'll pay 500 for it

Hopefully this gets sorted out, but I am sure you (along with others who purchased) will either get your VIP tickets or refunded and replaced with adequate tickets.

Here's the best  :beer:

man i hope we get to keep our vip we bought. Fuck this sucks

Holy hell, a thousand? Does the package include side stage view and groupies?


I would assume, as of now, that you would. The main indication is that either they sold out, or there is a temporary glitch. There will probably be some clarification soon.

I went to see Fleetwood Mac back in '03 I think, I paid $130 for what I thought was going to be a great seat, 1st row of seats before you the actual floor level. It was horrible, I was stuck on the side craning my head to the right in order to see the band. Ok that wasn't even on the floor!!! GNR is offering at least that and so much more in this package for only 1/2 the price more of what I paid for my Fleetwood Mac ticket. Uh....I'd say this is a sweet deal, plus I don't think GNR has ever done a comprehensive package like this ever!?

Yes of course he PWNED me.  No, you havent got a clue.  Now go back to your lego and go play.

For the record, this was my opinion, that I wouldn't personally pay the money for the package.  I also know that a lot of people would and would thoroughly enjoy the package and feel they have been given good value for money.  Again, it's about opinions and how people wish to enjoy their GNR experience.  I was giving my opinion - lots of other people have given different opinions.  Hey ho.

I emailed them asking them what the heck was going on?  They also previously emailed me a password that does not work.  I have emailed them to ask for a response .

This is what they have given me so far:

well 300 dollars might seem nothing for you but  for many people that doesn't seem to be the case.

Leave it to a percentage of this croud to find something negative to whine about!  We have a f--king tour here folks...be happy.   As someone already said...nobody is forced to buy this package...go GA, eat out before the show, and buy your own 'giftbag' at one of the shops.  :peace:

Of course $300 is a lot of money to some.

Paying $50 for a ticket itself is a lot of money to some.


Not everybody is gonna think that it's "worth the money" because we all have different opinions on what that is. Our opinion on that also changes over time.

When you're a (poor) student you might think that's too much money, but when you're working, maybe you don't etc.



That's just the way things are.






/jarmo

I can't afford any of it without making some sacrifices (still may not)...but you don't see me crying!  Maybe my 'they are touring' bliss will wear off...but right now this is like one of those Mastercard ads!  Metro fare $3, dinner at McDonalds $8, new T-shirt $25, preshow drinking $80, seeing Guns N' Roses live....Priceless.

I just don't see how some people can turn this into a negative...unless they are just complaining that they can't afford it - and that would be an 'unfortunate individual circumstance' unrelated to this offer!  And of course that is just my opinion, and I don't think it makes the 'whiners' ( :hihi: ) own opinions any less valid...just contrary to mine. :peace:

This package is very different from the KISS package. They are not comparable.

This package is (was) very comparable to the Kanye West/Lady Gaga package (now cancelled). That package was $500 and had the t-shirt, laminate, backstage pre-party and then special reserved VIP Floor seats front and centre for the show.

This package (which I'll be SUPER surprised if it ever comes to fruition) is reasonable, as far as fan packages go, as long as you aren't expecting to pop Cristal with Axl. I hope this is semi-organized.

But thing is, you voiced your opinon. Then again, then again, then again. We get it; you think this is a rip off, you wouldn't do this: WE GET IT.

Others (myself included) are excited as hell about it and think it's a cool thing to be involved in.

Power to you

I just spoke with a iloveallaccess agent a few mins ago and she said it's just temp down. And it will be back up in a few hours.

Just saying, I've seen way worse packages. Bon Jovi on their last tour charged I think 1000 bucks to come on stage with the band for two songs.............. Well, two songs they got to walk up to the side of the stage on a special platform and Jon went back and forth a bit........ worth 1k? u decide that, I don't think so



300 is  a lot of money, don't get me wrong, but for a fan package, it is one of the best I've seen by far.
Like someone said above, as long as u don't expect to hang out and listen to music/party with Axl all night, u should get your money's worth and then some.

I girl I worked with did the Bon Jovi one....but not on stage....hers was $500..she liked it....they got a laminate...front seating about five rows from the stage..as there was seating in the rink area....(and on stage, side stage for $1000) early entry to show....access to the merch store before opened.....good parking and got a really nice booklet (magazine type with thick pages) of colored photos promoting their last tour with signatures of all the band members....she showed it to me and brought it to work...it was really nice...she also had incredible pictures that she took because she was up so close...I think this price is very reasonable...and it will sell out in Canada....Yes different than a meet and greet....some of the band members might be at a few of them for a few minutes...maybe  : ok:  www.iloveallaccess.com has been around for a few years now...at least 2/3 years....an Irving Izoff invention....I think its great if you can afford it....different stokes for different folks

Fuckin douche bags at iloveallaccess keep telling me different storys. I called them and was told it would be back up in a few hours. Then i got a email from them saying Hopefully they will be avail soon. Then i called them back and the business is closed and they removed GNR Vip tickets from the voice mail system. Also there is no mention about GNR anywhere on the website night. I'm not sure whats up with all this. Surely they didn't sell out for every date that quick.

Here's to then  :beer:

Here's to now  :beer:

Here's to tomorrow  :beer:

Let's all just move on...

I'll drink to that :) Opinions are like assholes..........everyone has one ;)

I'd pay for the current GN'R VIP Package..As for the KISS $1,000.00 VIP, that came w/ 1st 2-3 rows from the stage, a Special Edition t-shirt, lamenated Backstage Pass, a Meet N' Greet w/ KISS, a signed program and 2 pics w/ KISS..It may be a lot of money, but I would pay it for the same GN'R Experience....But I think Axl has stated he feels funny charging his fans that much money...And you can't expect him to do it for free...Being so much I feel limits it to true fans who it really means something to...Not like the random scmuck who gets a great seat and yells out "Estranged" or "Where's Slash" for 2 hours..

No question, I'll be buying the VIP package for the night of the 16th in Calgary. For the Edmonton show on the 17th, I'll be just another 'ordinary' fan.

If they do in fact add NA shows, I'll do the VIP thing again in either Vegas, LA, or NYC.
And probably just fly coach for all the Florida shows.

Look, it's a lot of money, I don't care how much surplus money you do or don't have.
I have to say I would love to buy them if they tour Europe -- It's that once in a lifetime opportunity for a GNR fan.

It does though, look as if Axl may have changed his opinion, as from his recent answer on recent GNR forums when he said:  "And people may enjoy meet and greets and have their reasons why it meant a lot for them which I respect but overall charging fans for it I thinks disgusting of bands. Now if they did it for free to winners of a contest etc that would be different. Charging is lame. How to meet bands? Maybe try to hang out places u might hear they do sometimes... "  :-\

Not a "Meet & Greet" but still, his core point seems to have changed? Either way, I'm happy.

I don't know if Axl has anything to do with this offer, so that's tough to say.

Yea, maybe not.

This isn't a Meet & Greet.

You're not paying to meet band members.....





/jarmo

No, like I said, it's not a Meet & Greet, still...
Makes not difference to me -- I actually WOULD sign up for this.

But the quote was about Meet & Greets!

You're using a quote about Meet & Greets and talk about a VIP package.

Not the same thing.



/jarmo

I thought it was an interesting insight into Axl's views into bands making a profit -- I'm aware though Jarmo it was specifically about Meet & Greets'..

Yeah, and the way I see it, he just said he thinksit's not that cool to charge fans for meeting their idols....

Not about making profits, more about how.




/jarmo

So, are these packages still on? Any clarification on the whole site not having it thing?

It's said access denied all day for me

I checked this morning as they emailed me and said it was down temporarily and to keep trying, I did, but to no avail, so with that said I am no longer interested in something that I can't seem to get and will do just fine without this package.  I am more than excited just to be able to indulge in the tour or that this tour is finally happening.  Give it up and get some regular tickets and go enjoy a show...

A little bit expensive for me, but that pre party sounds good!

I have herd some are great and some suck it depends if they have an open bar or not.  If they have an open bar it is a great deal.

I was thinkin more on those buffets they usually have on those parties. Im not sure if they have it on GNR parties  :hihi:

Yeah, we are aware and looking forward to it.

Well, I wanted to buy the package, and I would have, but I was worried that the floor tickets were going to sell out. I called All Access the night that the tickets went on sale, and the gentleman on the phone said that they were told to take the offer down, but to keep checking back. Now I have my $100 floor ticket, but wish I could have gotten the package. I've been checking the All Access site everyday, but the offer still isn't available.

I'll be driving 10+ hours to get to the show in the 1st place, and I'm really not too excited about standing in the Canadian cold all day so I can get a good floor spot. I'm getting too old for that shit, but I'll do what's needed to get a prime view of the stage. Also, the party and all that would make the trip that much cooler. Like a mini GNR fan convention, or what not.

So, Fernando, why did it get taken down? A rotten pickle for me, so?  :crying:

BTW, happy Halloween, Guns faithful!  :beer:

Well I would pay my motherfucking soul for this shit. Too bad I would virtually have to dig deeper into debt to get my sorry ass to canada! you guys are some lucky bastards : ok: I just hope that maybe bubbles comes out for a few shows, i llove TPB.  I hope they do this shit for the US tour that'd be fucking sick! I just look forward to alot of band activity in the next year! Can't wait for the states.

Wait a minute i wonder how much i could get for my soul anyways.

Someone can put a tshirt picture, how is the tshirt?

300$ is a lot of money, but if includes one pass for the party after the show  ::)

What the fuck is a "looser?"

One of those girls on Sunset Boulevard.

FIFY

Oh my goodness!!!!! This is seriously so cool!!!!

I am smiling right now  ;D and happy just thinking about the possibility to purchase this if GN'R comes to US!!!

Wow, thank you so much GN'R and Axl for doing this for the fans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am excited for all my fellow Canadian fans that get to do this!!!  : ok:


dreamer girl

Has anybody successfully purchased one of these packages yet?

I believe one person was able to purchase before the sight went down, at least from the board that I am aware of.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I got VIP for Jan 24 and 25. I'll put a review up.

When they are in the states, I plan on purchasing this package


(http://www.mypictureshare.com/img/R/P.gif)

I got 2 VIPs bought. I hope it's not canceled! The agent on the phone told me that it's still on

I bought one VIP package. I haven't received any email saying it's cancelled or what have you.

I can only guess that this was

a) extremely limited
b) not sanctioned by the band and therefore taken down

What I think is pretty cool is that either way, the band appears to be honoring the initial agreement. I kind of hope it's just 5 of us. I feel bad for the people who waited too long, though.

Time will tell. I hope I'm not fubar'd out of FLOOR seat.

I gotta guess A is correct. Fernando replied when someone asked if the band knew about the packages and said something to the effect of "yes we are looking forward to it"

i'd love a meet and greet w/Axl, but at the same time, I really Axl will probably never agree to that




(http://www.mypictureshare.com/img/R/P.gif)

^Not a meet and greet package though :no:, It is a V.I.P. :yes:.  either way, no guarantees for sure, but you never no :P.

Just going on a backstage tour is enough for me!

I'd love to do a backstage tour at ANY show let alone a GNR show!

Don't get me wrong, I would enjoy it as well, and I tried to purchase it, but I am honestly just as content enjoying regularly like I have done every other time and have never left disappointed.  I think it would definately be nice to meet band members, but I have never really made it my mission.  Besides as human as I am sure Axl is, I am not to sure that I wouldn't pass out if the opportunity existed, I would be very overwhelmed indeed, so rather than draw a crowd, i'm probably better off in a seat watching from a short distance, with no worries lol...

That takes the fun out of standing out side for 12 hours to be 1st in line! lol i did that in NYC on 5/14/06 and in Mass on 11/8/06...i didn't have to pay 300 to be front row...300 is LAME! ya you get few cool things...but 300? I just want to be front row...and ill wait in line all day if i have to....shouldn't be able to buy your way by everyone who will wait in line...real fans wait all day in LINE!!!!! lol

Just another thing suits in skyscrapers want to take away from us.

When it comes to GNR I don't mind paying rediculous amounts to be where I want to be.  As I have mentioned numerous times, and not that it makes me a star, but my travel with my family to Rio in 06 wasn't cheap, but it really isn't even about the money to me, it is the whole damn experience of it that makes it worth everything :yes:.

And some people like to have that experience numerous times, not just once.

That would be me ;).

I'll take two for the toronto show!!!  :D
