I'm there...got a seat about 30 rows back from the pits...Cant wait, the countdown is on

Got the Civil War VIP Riser Package in section VIPA. See you there!

I got my ticket... Section A, row 21... Not too happy but had zero luck getting tickets at all. Only got the "Cannot Process Request" repeatedly. Wouldn't mind finding tix closer to rows 1 - 10 in section A... was thinking about VIP ticket for the pit but as a single woman I don't want to get too roughed up in there as I'd pretty much be going on my own.

Well I am in... As is my sister, coolranchdressing.... Who ended up using my info to get me my ticket!! Thanks girl, I owe you :D

Put me down for this show B2 row1 seat 5,6

Pre-party will be at the Loose Moose restaurant and bar across the road from the Rogers centre, Jarmo had a cool poster made for that place years ago, unfortunately i wasnt able to attend, but this time its on

Great idea to decide on a place to meet up before the show.

I'll add it to the first post.  : ok:



/jarmo

I'll be at this concert.

Count me in.

I'll be there ;D

Going of course.  18th row center stage.

I'm super stoked. Had to buy my wife Carrie Underwood tickets to convince her to go with me.

Haha thats awesome, I'm going to see Carrie to, shes amazing, maybe she will do another GNR cover?

Haven't been here in awhile, but I'll be in Toronto!  :beer:

Someone is selling a Pit ticket for $34,000 on Ticketmaster, and you can buy two for a total of $68,000. Unbelievable.

For that amount, just buy VIP tickets for all the other shows and travel around the US for two months. :)

I'm flying from Calgary with my wife for this show! First time seeing Slash and Duff in GNR, third time seeing Axl in GNR. So excited!!!!

Hello! I am interested in selling one of my two "platinum" tickets at face value.

It is section A6, Row 3, Seat 6. I paid $875 for this ticket, and am selling it for $875. Please send me a PM if interested. Thank you!

I'm going

Actually Billy Bishop Island Airport is much closer to the Rogers Centre than Pearson Airport is.

I have 2 tickets (Section A5 Row 1 - Live and Let Die VIP Tour Package) and it looks like I won't be able to attend. These tickets can't be picked up until the day of the show. PM me if you're interested.

Yes, but sometimes I just list the major ones that most people travel to.

I will add the airport though. :)

Thanks.

Thanks.

More floor seats available today for $450 each on Ticketmaster, Resellers are starting to lower their prices too. Still hoping to upgrade my Level 1 row 20 tickets somehow.

I think they did this for all shows.  I don't know if it's a "now we've seen the setup so we can release some stuff that's not obstructed" or some repricing of the more $$ seats, or what.  I know a PLETHORA of $104 to $150 tickets opened up for the Metlife shows coming up, and looks like similar thing happened with the show at Gillette Stadium. Those are the 2 shows I've been watching.....

Even more tickets were released later today, massive chunks of seats on lower level one. I think this is somebody's way of filling the shitty seats first, I feel bad for those stuck with the 500's on the day the went on sale.

You can exchange your tickets with Ticketmaster for a $7/ticket fee, plus difference in seat cost. Remember that folks!

I'll be there...Can't wait! Saw their first Vegas show and it was awesome...but looking forward to the huge stadium show and Axl running around again! Flying in from Saskatoon on Saturday and back home Sunday morning.

Anyone know who will be opening for this show?

Thanks, Jarmo. I'll have to give them a listen this week!

Heading to the show Saturday was at the show at the CNE in 91' with Metallica  : ok: front row !!  .... after seeing  Axl and Co about 10 times since then, im dying for the energy with the original members again... my kids were born wondering when this might happen  ;D so naturally I'm taking them age 19 & 22 !

Start time.... im thinking 930-945? ... what's everyone's thoughts on this for this show - usually I arrive at 10:15 rush to my seat 8)

Another round of tickets available at Ticketmaster, lower level one in the first few rows for $175 each - Exchange your nosebleeds for a $7/ticket charge people! I upgraded from Lower Level Row 20 on Duffs side to row 11 on Slash's side.

There are a lot of tickets available on Ticketmaster. Crazy amounts almost everywhere in the place.

I know, it makes me sick! Where were these tickets when they first went on sale and all us real fans were trying to get the best tickets and some of us got stuck with nosebleeds? The show was "sold out" for months afterwards with 500+ Reseller tickets for sale, then the last 2 weeks before the show they release a bunch of good tickets that they were holding back so the rest of the stadium would fill up? Good luck Resellers stuck with your $300-1000+ tickets while regular price are still available - that will teach you!

Who should we send our hate mail to? Live Nation? Ticketmaster just gives responses from their manual... CaN'T be GNR's fault... Must be "The Promoter"....

I'm getting the feeling that it's all part of a bigger party that we don't get to be invited to. I believe they do some of this on purpose to drive prices up and push some people to look at other markets that aren't selling as well. Totally my guess on that, but I think it's a good one.

I should also point out, that some of the tickets are showing behind the sound booth setups, so those could have been held back until they knew the exact height and width details (they still look like obstructed views too, which I wouldn't buy). Additionally, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the tickets in the higher priced areas were held for friends and family of the band, management, promoter, radio, etc.

Same thing is happening with Hip tickets. They released a bunch more this week in some great areas for some of the markets.

Don't send hate mail anywhere. It's not going to help anything or anyone. Just know that's the way it works and never get discouraged if a show sells out, because you can always get tickets to it if you keep checking back.

Maybe this is a dumb question, but I'm looking now and seeinglots of available floor tickets for $450 on sale from the venue. My seat is also on the floor but it cost me $250. Does anyone know why the prices are now $200 more?

IDK about your show, but there are sometimes bundled seats...either for different VIP packages or as part of TM's platinum seats program.  Could be part of those.  If you hover over the seat on the map (assuming your show has an interactive map), does it say something other than "Standard Ticket"?

Hey Guys and Gals,

We're throwing a pre-party at the Loose Moose Bar and Grill located at 146 Front Street W.   (more info can be found here

Come on by and join the rest of us hardcore fans before the show!

Cheers,

I've been checking Ticketmaster everyday since the tickets went on sale and this past week the prices change everyday. Last week the first batch of Level ones that got released were $175 each, this week another batch was $450 each one day, then $175 the next. Not sure what's going on there... The Slipknot VIP concert tickets for next week in Toronto just changed from VIP $400 tickets to regular $75 tickets. Same thing happened with Motley Crue VIP tickets last year.

Thanks for the invite, maybe the wife and I'll will have supper there before the show, how is the food?

From what I can remember six years ago, it's pretty good.  But again, it was six years ago.

Cya there!  If you spot me come say hello! :beer:

Loose Moose is a great place, food and atmosphere

I have a single ticket for sale tonight sec 130 row 8 should be at the loose moose by 730pm I'll check messages :) paid 198.00 ( 175+ fees)
