**UPDATED** NEW YORK SHOW(S) TICKET THREAD!!!!!

[Hatts]

Yeah it does seem really strange to me as well but i really hope they are for real otherwise i'm fucked.  What are you thinking?  They aren't gonna happen?

[Mr.Intensity]

wtfuxx the tickets are already 75% sold HAH
wow
this is gonna be an intresting battle for the tickets.
so this is confusing, did the tickets for the 12th and 14th the presale get sold today too?

No

[Mr.Intensity]

Guys....

There is usually a reason for everything.

[icpillusions]

They are confirmed. So they will mostlikely happen.  I would buy the tickets for $99.  That is a decent price if you had to buy a scalped ticket.  If I can't get tickets tomorrow I'm going to be buying 2 scalped tickets, unless someone from the board is selling. (which only one or 2 are, I wonder what happened to the rest?)

[zakas80]

WHAT IF these two other shows dont really exsist, it could be a ploy to divert people from trying to go for the shows that actually will happen (5/15/,5/17) ?Supposedly it was posted earlier that 75% of the tickets went in todays presale! (More BS) ?So tomorrow everyone thinks they have a fresh start with two brand new shows that are earlier in date thus higher in demand, and with everyone scrambling for these two non existant shows, the "real" shows (15th & 17th) are quickly snatched up!!!

I know its a pretty far fetched scenario, but ya never know,until its posted on TM i dont belive these two added shows exsist

[GunnerOne 84]

I am definatly selling one, possibly two, but it won't be for a few days until i know for sure. One is for face value, the other i will have to take elsewhere because i payed scalper prices for and i need to get my $$ back on it.

[RebelRose89]

I'm gonna be soo nervous tomorrow!! ? i'm gonna be runnin outside to take calls at 9 though just to see if it goes smoothly

[Mr.Intensity]

Well, I hope you guys all believe there won't be a show on the 12th and 14th.....

Just don't log on tommorow, I'll be sure to get my main floor tickets easy then.

Seriously guys, settle down, do you remember at what time last night we got the legitimate password.. it might be the same procedure tonight.

Let's just wait and see.

[zakas80]

So why hasn't ticketmaster put the 12th and 14th dates up yet?
will they have them up by tomorrow?
and is the 12th and 14th like official??

[ShotgunBlues1978]

What is the source that mentioned the May 12th and May 14th shows anyway?  They aren't listed on the Live Nation website, the Hammerstein Ballroom website, or Ticketmaster.  The only place I've seen them mentioned is here and on Sp1at

[Hatts]

I think i'm just going to try get the tickets tomorrow.  See what happens.  I'm worried cause i really don't want to spend the money twice.  Considering i'm using the credit card.  So fuck.  I believe that this is for real.


Thanks,
Hatts

[Mr.Intensity]

THE SHOWS ARE ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MR.BROWNSTONE]

Well, I hope you guys all believe there won't be a show on the 12th and 14th.....

Just don't log on tommorow, I'll be sure to get my main floor tickets easy then.

lol Yeah that will be a big help for a lot of us. Only time will tell if the show are for real or not. 

[muffinass]

  on mezz2 May 15th...name's andrei...eager to enjoy the show with fellow GNR fans...

 

[Axl4Prez2004]

Mezz2 here as well!  So far.  I was only able to snag 1 ticket, but I'm hoping I can land 2 more for my bro-in-law and friend.  We'll see what happens.  No matter what happens...I'll see you all there and hopefully over at Mustang Harry's.  If someone isn't crazy about being mezz2, pm me and if I have floor or mezz1 tix by then, we could trade.

I can't believe this is happening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  (IRS blaring right now   )

MR i that's true, but all four dates should have been said first... People work you know, I could have seen them those earlier two shows and not have needed to go to the last two.. Eevrything could have been fresh.. it's just wrong to put more before then after

for a 29 year old man you seem to know outstandingly little. it's quite common that big bands/artists add an extra show or two at the same place if the venue sells out very quickly, gnr even did it two times with the summer dates in europe already. when they saw how quickly the NYC shows sold out, they added two more which they had already kept on ice just in case. clear enough for ya? i'm not saying this IS the case but it might be. now go pick up a book and stop complaining. good day.

Sure, it happens all the time.  But they nearly always add the show dates after the originally scheduled shows.  And due to the circumstances surrounding these shows, it should be easy to understand why people would want to be at the first show

Today has just been one dumb thing after another.? First off i got my pre pre sale password and got on and got my tickets right at 9:00 then it came time for my credit card information and i fucked it up than i lost my tickets.? So you all were here for today everyone was panicing about not getting tickets and i really needed them cause i have train tickets to go to new york so i resorted to bidding for two floor tickets for the 15th for 99.00 with the maximum bid for 250.00.? Than i see that there are two more shows and that would be great to be able to go to one of those, but now i have this stupid bid.? The bid has 12 more hours and i'm the only one so far.? So that means that it will probably be done at 11 am for me.? Now the presale is for tomorrow at 8am (midwestern time) and i really don't know what is going to happen to my bid.? What do you guys think i should do?? Do you think i should go for the tickets for the new shows?? I have already tried emailing this stupid guy to see if i could retract my bid and he is not responding.? I really don't know if i'm going to get it three hours later.? What do you think?



THanks a bunch,
Hatts

I believe people are telling you you'll be outbid on the $99, which I don't doubt. The $250 is anyone's guess, since a lot of the tickets seem to be going for that or a little less right now. I believe you can edit your maximum bid though. That's not a bid retraction, since your bid right now is only $99. All you're changing is the maximum you'll pay. For 2 tickets $160 would be a REALLY good maximum bid. Ticketmaster will cost you about $157 after fees and such (I paid around $78 for one ticket after all their fees were included). But anyway, just change your maximum bid and you'll be fine.

Mezz 1 for the 17th.  No one is going to steal your seat.  There'll be plenty of people around next to you; most of us are going with friends.  Make friends with the people on line, see who's forum folk, chat it up.  You'll be fine.
