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

[cyllan]

Good place to stay near the show?

I'm staying at this place .. http://marriott.com/property/propertypage/NYCMD - It was a pretty good deal for NYC - just under 200 / night.  I don't know much, if anything, about NYC - but my understanding is pretty much anything in the Times Square area is a safe bet.  Remember, they have public transportation up the freaking ying yang there to get from place to place.

A bit more on-topic: A forum member pre-sale would be great.  It'd be a lot better to pack this place with fans than with people who need to be in the "in crowd" type of folks.

I just checked the hotel and it was 239/night.  I didnt really want to spend 1000 bucks on a hotel hahaha

New Yorker Hotel   http://www.newyorkerhotel.com/home.asp
I'm paying $159 per night.  It's almost next door to the venue, I think.

From rainx at www.thenewguns.com

I e-mailed this to Merck:

His response:

There is no way anyone can have any tickets yet so they should avoid these people
at all costs as they will be rip offs. We are looking at putting together a presale
for members of all of the GN'R forums. No guarantees but we are looking at it

Great.
I guess the idea is difficult to carry out but it's nice of them to care about fussy fans on the net.

I only need 1 ticket. 

For either show, but preferably May 15.

So, can anyone get a DEFINITE on whether Hammerstein is gonna be selling at the box office?  If so, I'm camping out thursday night!  Anyone elsE ?

BTW, yes I just registered, but I am NOT a scalper.  I just want one ticket for each night!  I've been lurking this forum for years   Please dont ban me in the event of a presale password !!!

Anybody from North Carolina driving up to New York?

[TheRaven]

I need 2 tickets to each show. If need be I'd settle for 1 ticket for each show.

Where at in NC? I had planned on flying, with gas prices the way they are I think it'd be cheaper (plus you don't have to worry about driving around NYC or finding parking).

I got the rate through my Marriott Rewards program thing.  Not sure if that lowers it or not.  I think I got 191/night.

-darknemus

you can stay at the pennsylvania for 149 a night and its only down the street from the Hammerstein.

Raven, sent you a message.  Living right now outside of Raleigh. 

[mikegiuliana]

if you people are strapped for cash but know the city you could find a hotel in queens brooklyn or the bronx unless the train is out for you... Another solution is to team up with some friends you can trust here and chip in for a room..

I will crash wherever I may roam or pass out...

I'm staying at the chelesa star hotel.... in the dorm rooms for like 30 bucks a night.... I won't be sleeping much anyway.

[GNRNUMBER1FAN]

I'd Like Some Tickets To The May 15th, 2006 Show. Please. I Really Want to See These Guys. 2 Tickets. 2 Tickets...

[Jim Bob]

Should I fly into JFK or LaGuardia?

[illusionone]

List has been updated - Looks like we are up to 60 names :-)

It would be really nice if this pre-sale thing is true.  I wonder if, when and how we will be notified of the pre-sale?

I need 2 tickets for the May 15 show.

[Gunner87]

I need 1 ticket.  For either show, but preferably the Monday May 15 show.

I've been registered since March of last year and have been coming here for at least two years before that.

In the almost 20 years I've been a GNR fan, I've still never had the chance to see them live.

from the first post by illusionone in this thread: PM me to get on the list - I will not be searching the thread

[darknemus]

FYI - here's a guy on craigslist (no relation    ) who claims he already has 8 tickets for each show.

This is why I hate scalpers.
