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

[jbenzz]

Oh, wait...

Maybe I'll bag the yanks game.? Wonder if Eddie will really be there....That'd be some interesting conversation.

Based on my limited ability to read, I'm pretty sure this is right after the show. It says 11:59 PM on Monday so I think it's an after show party.
Hosted by Eddie Trunk... Maybe Axl will show

[Nightfall]

For those that are planning on going to both shows, here is a link to ticketmasters list of events happening may 15-17. Not too much intersting on the off day. It says Scorpions guitarist Uli Jon Roth is at BB Kings and the Yankees are at home playing Texas.

http://www.ticketmaster.com/browse?category=&area=New+York%2FTri-State+Area&rdc_syear=2006&rdc_smonth=5&rdc_sday=15&rdc_eyear=2006&rdc_emonth=5&rdc_eday=17&teVal=&type=range

Should we start a separate thread to possibly organize something for the off day?

I've already got box seats lined up, if I'm able to make both shows, for the Yanks game.

If any of you are baseball fans.....even if you're not Yanks fans...do yourself a favor and head out to the Stadium. ?It's well worth the trip, I promise. ?Just don't root for the Rangers.....it could get messy.

i think i just go for a day of sightseeing

I'm missing the times from the original post.....and can't get out to their site (blocked from it at work, for some unknown reason) so I didn't "get it".

Hmm, that's odd though. ?

AHHH, gotcha.

Makes more sense now.

Think we can get in at the door or should we actually buy tix online for that one?

Along that same line, you should try the Yankee Stadium Tour. I did the one at Petco Park and you get to go to alot of behind the scenes stuff. If they do the same at Yankee Stadium it would definitely be worth the trip up to the Bronx in the middle of the day. I just hope I get to see George Costanzas office

I'm pretty sure if you show up earlier in the day you can get tickets

[Kujo]

That would be a good aftershow event, but is anyone really expecting everything to work out where Axl is off stage in time for us to make the cover band?

[Prucc]

I wonder how many tickets have been accounted for via this pre-sale sign up...? ?? hmmm...

Also... are the pre-sale tickets going to be floor and/or balcony?

[PhillyRiot]

I've got the okay to take off work, just need the tickets now!

[billsguy]

well presale tix are usually only a small portion of the total tix.  in this case, i can't see it being more than 500-750 tix per show.  if it is, that'd be awesome but that is usually how they do it.

[jbenzz]

I'm hoping that they are floor tickets, but that's generally not how presale works.  IF this show is for a video or any other live footage, management would be dumb not to stick GNR's biggest fans right up front.

[Rosettta7]

I would like to know how tickets that are not yet on sale can be advertised on e-bay?? I have sent about 7 e-mails tonight, to Ticketmaster and Hammerstein, etc.? I'm hoping they can explain the phenomenon of people guaranteeing the sale of tickets that are not yet available.? All I want is one ticket!

there's no risk to those people listing them now for $200 each. they are NOT guaranteeing you anything. they do NOT have any tix in their possession.

they will do their best to get the tix and who knows, they may come through.

but if they fail, they just give you your money back (hopefully).

AND on top of all this....if they DO manage to get a few tix, and then they realize that the going rate for tix is more like $500, they will give you your money back in a second, and sell their tix for $500 a piece.

So far I have gotten one response to my e-mails. ?It is from Next Customer Service. ?And the answer is that Ticketmaster is handling all the ticket sales. ?It's not a very helpful reply, but I'll keep trying to get some answers.

im new around here.. but  am an old gnr fan   and definetly i am going   i missed the one in chicago in 2002 but i dont  want it to happen again so guy  am from texas i  am thinking if we can meet somewhere in ny i have never been there before. heellpp

[oldgunsfan]

the fact that this thread and others mentioning the NYC shows have over 20 pages doesn't instill alot of confidence in me that I'll be avble to get tickets

[tommy2k6]

Guys. I just signed up for this forum a couple of days ago so I could get the presale. I wont lie about that. But this site has been my homepage for 3 years now and everyday I read up on gnr news and read your guys's posts. I live in Winnipeg, Canada and would do ANYTHING!!! for tix.

[gnrziggy]

how does this even happen

[allmysalvation]

read this on thenewguns.com yesterday:

I e-mailed this to Merck:

Hey man, sorry to bother you, but a lot of my forum users have been asking me to
try and find out about the Hammerstein Tickets that are for sale on eBay, even though
they don't go on sale until Friday:
http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?sofocus=bs&sbrftog=1&from=R10&satitle=guns+roses+hammerstein&sacat=-1%26catref%3DC6&bs=Search&sargn=-1%26saslc%3D2&sadis=200&fpos=07011&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi=&fsop=1&fsoo=1

Is that Legal, to resell the tickets for 140 over face? And also, how do they have
them if they aren't on sale yet, and lastly, would you warn GNR fans against buying
the tickets from someone who claims to have them before they even go on sale.

Rock on man

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.

[Mr.Intensity]

  at people taking advantage of us fans.

  to Merck for helping us all out with the pre-sale.
