How much demand will there be??

I hope the tour goes on sale before the play Coachella...

Yeah, that's going to be interesting.

It would almost have to, wouldn't it?  Due to the time frame?

People will have to buy, sight unseen.

I believe a Coachella sells out pretty munch instantly so once that's done I'm sure dates will come out.

There was a lot of rumours about Leeds/Reading so that'll probably be announced soon.

I believe a Coachella sells out pretty munch instantly so once that's done I'm sure dates will come out.

But I think there is a decent sized contingent that want to see how Coachella goes and how he sounds.

Not us.  We are buying sight unseen.  But 50,000 is a big number and they won't all be lifers like us.

I actually wonder if the initial rush is the diehard lifers like us.  And if Coachella goes well, other more casual fans will be more receptive to going and buy in that second wave.

I think ~10 years earlier they would have easily filled stadiums with the rumoured lineup without making a big deal out of it. That's when the 80's and especially GN'R were "so in". They could still do it, but it would mean good marketing like Jarmo pointed out. And "a stadium" might have a capacity from 20 000 to 100 000, there are different kinds you know It's also about the area; especially in South America it should be fairly easy to sell out some stadiums.
