New York Ticket Presale

[TheRaven]

I wonder how many of us will actually get ix, ebay ticket brokers are already selling them, do they get them from ticketmaster early?

And i do agree people who joined today shouldn't get access, but it is a tricky situation to regulate. Hopefully everyone that seriously plans to attend will be able to.

I just saw that. How did they already get tickets?

I'm not sure if they do, or are maybe just banking on the hope that they will, and can make money. Either way, im getting the sinking feeling we may get f'd out of these shows unless we pay out the ass.

[HoldenCaulfield]

I'd say the eBay tickets are inside jobs. There's no other way to guarantee that you'll have tickets to sell. Damn scalpers to hell...

Just to reiterate what BULLSHIT that is check the link in my quote for anyone who hasn't seen it yet. I fucking hate scalpers. I sold a Motley Crue ticket the other night 5 minutes before the show to a guy who was dying to get in. I sold it to him for face value. He was pumped cause he got in and I was more than happy to help out a fan rather than fuck'em right over. Scalpers blow.

I just hope if they use a presale password they make it really obscure. I've been able to guess presale passwords before, it's usually something that has to do with the type of event. Example: for The Lion King one presale was "Pride", for Seinfeld "Newman".

nah the exact same thing was happening with U2 last tour. Tickets were on ebay before they actually went on sale and the prices were jacked. U2 management released a statement telling fans not to buy them untill after the tickets officially went on sale. The prices for tickets will always bottom out weeks before the show and then start riseing again as the show gets closer. I would bet these tcikets are legit tickets.

Tell me about it, you should see what they charge for college basketball tickets to see North Carolina vs. Duke. These are $40 tickets that sell for more than $250 each ($600 each if the game is at Duke).

I doubt the tickets will go down in price though. Right now with it being only 4 weeks until the concert, and the size of the venue, it'll be a perfect storm for scalpers.

I will definitely be going to one of the shows, either night.  I'll take whatever I can get -- 2 tickets would be nice, but I'll go alone without thinking twice.

Damn, I think this is a great opportunity for Guns message board followers. For whoever set it up Thanks for looking out for the fans. I will sadly not be able to make it to NY both my jobs that I'm working will not allow me to make it. I ask for those waiting in line for tickets, partying with the other members on the boards please take some pics and document your experience.

Bob (from Bob and Tom) was talking about how he was given a ticket to the Masters Golf Tournament (I think), he left 3 hours early, a guy out in the lot offered him $500 for his ticket, a $25 dollar ticket. It's so crazy. I still have a sour taste from U2's Vertigo tour. Scalpers ruined that tour. It was like sabotage...

[comaknight]

That's why it's important that if you're able to pick up extras, you sell 'em at face to forum members who aren't as fortunate.  Don't let these scumbags continue to ripoff actual fans.

U2 management were able to patch things up with people who hadn't yet used their presale password on nosebleed tickets, though.  However, that was if your area had later shows during the 3rd leg.  The best experience I had with a presale was Coldplay (yeah yeah, flame away) - you had to pick up the tickets at the will-call with your ID in hand.  Heck, Dylan made sure people in the 1st 4 rows to his Beacon Theatre shows were escorted immediately after picking up their willcall tickets.  Of course, those tickets were also about $100 face....

Dude, you won't be alone.  You'll have this entire fanatical community there with you every step of the way.  We're like, a cult or something.  Well, except for the burning buildings and the poisoned Kool-Aid.

Do you think those tickets that are postedonn stub hub right now are also fake, and people that think they will get a hold of them to sell.

My feeling is that if your a true Guns fan who has done everything they possibly could for this band whether it be stickin up for them when your friends bash them for not releasing albums, to listening to a boring ass radio show just on the hopes of hearing the bassist mention anything about them, or whatever you guys have done, then those are the ones who should be able to get tickets. ?Ive been commin to this site since it had the old format from years ago, and im gonna travel from Ohio to see them, hell i even rolled all the change i had been saving over the years for gas money(Cant think of a better situation to use it) ?So it is my hope that ill be sharin a ballroom with you other true fans out there listening to Guns N Fuckin Roses in NYC in about 4 weeks. ?

I have been a long time reader here at HTGTH and would love to get in on the presale. I need 2 (preferably the 15th) but either day would work.
