What if..Chinese Democracy was sold at the concert

One of my buddies went to see Prince when he was touring for "Musicology", and he said that when he got to the arena everyone who bought floor seats had a copy of the cd waiting in their seat for them. GnR should do something kick-ass like that.

If there were floor seats that would be a great idea. Maybe a huge pile of CD's in the middle of the general admission floor...............

Hand them out either at the door or as you enter the GA area.

If they are to sell the CD at the show, I think they should sell it after the band start playing so you don't have to worry about getting the case and disc bashed during the show - and make sure the sales get counted in any chart runs.

I wonder if, once the album is out, the band will do a Pearl Jam style live release of each show? It seems fairly clear there are - or were at one recent point - plans for a "ChineseDemocracyTour" DVD  that presumably will be out after the album.

It would make more sense to sell it after the show is completely over as people are exiting.  Not that any of this is really going to happen IMO but if it was sold during the show there would be mass chaos no matter if the band had already come on or not.

tons of people leave before the show finishes, because GNR tend to come on when most bands are finisihing, i.e. 10.40pm, so the least you can do is sell copies to people who leave 'early'

What if everyone at the show could head down to Virgin Megastore (in NYC for example) and use their tix stub to get a free copy of the CD?  that'd be unreal (and never happen of course hehe  )

i was actually at virgin megastore (by union square) in the city this morning (10/31) to get the new who album (flavor flav was there too promting his new album lol!!) and i asked the guy if he heard anything about a release date for CD. he said he hasnt heard anything about it, im hoping its the 21st though!! i will be there and update you guys if a "surprise" release does happen!!
