how are they promoting the shows in your country (what footage)

[WARose]

With the insiders I meant more like the second the tickets are on sale you will know, no chance you'll miss out..

yeah, but without promotion in the first place, the concerts are selling slow (in the beginning) and any hardcore gnr fan can get his ticket. then after two weeks the promotion kicks in and the concert sells out....( in the best case)

would be a nice move from management if it was their intention. there are probably lots of people who don`t have the chance to attend a gnr concert in finland for example, because they didn`t get to know it early enough or might don`t even know it as of yet, but any gnr fan on this forum got his ticket....

[mikegiuliana]

I don't think that was their intentions,.. I really think it's just mismanaged.. I think they feel the tickets will sell and axl will show everything else is up for grabs.. There has been ages to have this thing started off right, they could have had this thing top notch right from the first tour date announcement

[Butch Français]

for the first Norway gig, all I saw was an ad in a newspaper. and they mentioned in the entertainment news.

i guess at this point, it`s to early to judge the promotion of this tour..... we`ll see what comes out of it

I also wanted to say I can understand small metnions if they are playing a big festival with other acts where the fans will still buy tickets.. I think the harder part would be them touring as the main act with no promotion

I am sure it'll all go great, I am just suprised after such a long layoff and not knowing who exactly is in teh badn they would have had ti set up better faster

[Meanmachine22]

Germany:

besides the Rock am Ring Homepage and a small little mention on MTV  i haven't seen any promotion until now......
Weird? Dumb? or maybe they are just not sure if they will show up at all?
I don't know!!!!!!

"The announcement starts soon....."

There were some advertisements in major daily newspapers in the netherlands (Spits and Telegraaf). In Spits there was even a small article about it, written by some frustrated journalist because he still has tickets of the GNR concert in the Netherlands in 2002 (also Nijmegen). But that's about it.

You mean the Gelredome in Arnhem right?...'cause I believe that's where the concert was supossed to be held

You're Right, ah Arnhem or Nijmegen, what's the difference..........

[Emilie]

I haven't seen any promotion here in Sweden, but that's probably because it sold out in one day. They only advertise shows that doesn't sell as good as they would like.

[oldgunsfan]

Hear in the USA, since we're not getting any dates, we got nothing, which is about what we ever get from Axl or his management company

[qazolmob]

Here in Finland I saw one TV ad featuring Live and Let Die footage. Gn'R also mentioned as rockgiant rarely doing gigs.

Then some mention in entertaiment news. Tickets sold out, another gig annouced also told in news. And that's the promo. I wonder if they had planned something but the gig(s) sold out too fast, I guess.

[SADIS]

Like what was said earlier in this thread there's no promotion besides one ad in one small newspaper and the fact that GnR is performing popping up on some of the bigger newssites. But that's it.

The thing is however that I don't think it's selling that good here in the Netherlands.

yeah you would think here they'd be like gnr is back but playing in europe first....  I know when cream did  afew gigs in the uk American rock radio stations were always talking about it, saying I wish they would come here..... After a gnr song you hear nothing, maybe just that there are lawsuits out there

So far it seems like "gnr" is billed with motley crue in some areas, old footage has been used in other countries and little or no adds on other places and no mentioned here in America

[0001001]

MTV Germany aires a rock am ring commercial for all bands playing there. They use parts of the paradise city video as footage for the gn'r part.

Sill no promotion in France.

[jameslofton29]

Sill no promotion in France.

Send some promoter in France a DVD bootleg from the 2002 tour. Maybe that would get the ball rolling.

[Big Gun]

people stop buying tickets untill you hear a proper press release - dont get fooled. we all know about Axl's mood swings. he is not someone you can rely on just look at the facts guys.

i don`t think it`s our function to promote gnr.....

[KeVoRkIaN]

It's kind of sad that there is little to no promotion for the tour so far.....I was expecting something - good thread - will check it daily
