What is the highest amount you would Pay to see a Guns n Roses Concert?

[Albert S Miller]

I am the kind of person who loves GNR enough that I flew from USA to Portugal for RIR and brought my two girls and husband, approximately 12,000 for whole trip, now ask me (Do I Love Uncle Axl?)  Well!! thats a big fat YES!!!!!!!!

[mikegiuliana]

that's a ton of money... Plus you had to bring the kids and the husband

I love axl too, just wouldn't want to waste all that money when I know I can see him here..

To each his own though..

[Alan]

I wouldn't pay more than ?40 for a ticket - which is why I won't be seeing them when they play in the UK. Over ?50 for one ticket is ridicolous.

tickets are ?37.50.......... or thats what mine cost

It was ok to have brought the family, they are awesome and fully support me and my love for GNR, and also there was more to the trip than just RIR, we all had the chance to experience another country, and was beautiful, such a different culture from our own, something we will all never forget..

true, you did get a vacation out of it... I know some people like flew in and out just to see the shows in certain areas.. Glad you had a great time with the family

As everyone has said, that would depend on the lineup.  However, if I lived in the UK right now, I would most definitely take advantage of this deal on eBay:

Just letting you know that you don't get to meet the band with this.

Do not buy it with such expectations.

It's not the same thing now is it? 


I went to Lisbon and then to London, Dublin and Donington. I could've stayed at home, read the reviews and downloaded the bootlegs just like you, but I didn't. I'm glad I went because it's something I'll never forget.

I got to see four amazing shows, meet a lot of cool people and had one hell of a time.

[mikegiuliana]

I spent over a thousand and live neatr hammerstein Had the greatest time more meeting everyone then the actual shows..

[Thorne]

I spent close to a grand to see them at Donnington (ticket, camping stuff ,petrol: we ended up leaving on the friday and returned on the Sunday....that's two extra trips).....now that may not seem alot compared to some of the amounts people have spent but on a carers salary (?280 per month) that's nothing short of amazing....add that to the Sheffield and Birmingham gigs I'm going to.....my GNR wallet seems very annorexic at the moment!!!!!...and I'm over a ?100 over drawn.....

[BurningHills]

$75 tops - which after the bullshit TicketBastard fees is almost $100 anyway, so...

I'm passing up Aerosmith's fall tour with Motley Crue because the greedy fucks want $125 per ticket for reserved seating, which is bullshit.

god damn are the tickets gonna be that high? fucking rediculos

[BurningHills]

It might vary by market, but I know that $125 is the asking price at the Tweeter Center in Camden and somewhere else that I can't remember offhand.

[NickNasty]

i dont think id pay much more than my sole for a show but then again,id give up my porn collection aswell
 if pushed

well said

what i always say to people who look at me funny or tell me im crazy when i tell them about the trip is that you can't really put a price on your passions.

for me, guns is, without a doubt one of the things im most passionate about, and I got to see them abroad during what i would say is a pretty amazing comeback tour all things considered---and the show was the best one of my life. plus, i got just enough of a tease of traveling Dublin that I likely be back there next year with some friends for a longer stay---so i got that out of it too.

no regrets on this end...and i will probably be paying top dollar for front row seats for the US fall tour

[Axl4Prez2004]

Personally, I've been foregoing asking for birthday and Christmas gifts the past 5 years, or at least just asking for small stuff...knowing that eventually these days would come! 

I'll never forget the awesome time I had May 12th at Harry's and the Hammerstein!  If the band is nearby, and you choose not to go, you're really missing out.  Guns fans are great to hang out with...and the chicks are super hot!!!

Nothing will stop me from seeing GNR when they come back to the U.S.   

Somebody mentioned passion earlier in the thread, and yes, this band's music truly is a passion for me as well.   

Somebody mentioned sitting at home watching it on AOL is just as great?     Yeah, that'll give you the same experience!     

 

[jc524]

i flew from British Columbia, Canada to NYC and saw them 3 times at the hammerstein

I bought two tickets for face - one for the 17th throught the presale, then one for the 15th from a guy on mygnr - and then I bought a ticket for the 14th for $100 from a scalper outside my hotel 


awesome time, worth every penny!!

[Refused]

I wouldn't pay more than ?40 for a ticket - which is why I won't be seeing them when they play in the UK. Over ?50 for one ticket is ridicolous.

tickets are ?37.50.......... or thats what mine cost?

Ticketmaster are charging ?40 for the London show on the 29th. With booking fee and postage added, I think it pushes it to just over ?50. Then there's the ?20 it'd cost me on the train.
Plus I'm too scared to go on my own, and no one will come with me.

What's with the negativity?  There has to be a pre-show gathering going on.  The GNR fans I met in NY City were all incredibly nice.  I'm sure they're just as cool across the pond.  Have you asked here at the site if there's anyone in your area going to the show?  There are always going to be excuses not to go.  You only live once...plus, this is Axl, see him while ya can man.

I hope no one would ever expect to meet and/or hang out with Axl at the concert (or a lot of lead singers for that matter - Scott Weiland...).? However I have gone to some concerts in the states here with this company:? iloveallaccess.com.? Very similar packages to that one on eBay.? Here's a few:? Sheryl Crow (I know, I know - some of you will think this is gay but I'm secure with my manhood thank you) - got to meet her.? Velvet Revolver - about 20 of us were allowed in to the entire soundcheck (cooler than it sounds).? Plus all the other shit - cool stuff given out via lottery ticket that you recieve when you show up, unique shirts, etc.? AT VR, with your lottery ticket you got a chance to mee the whole band.  Definitely worth it!

one thing I have always regretted was not going through with the HOB GNR return show.  My brother and I were seriously getting ready to go, but it was going to cost about $800 each I think and I was only a sophomore in college at the time.  Would have been amazing, but oh well. 

But that comeback show only happened once, so now I would say that I would probably pay about $150 per ticket.  And that would be for a VERY small show (smaller than Hammerstein).  For the old band I would seriously have no problem throwing down closer to $500 for a ticket.  I also can honestly say that I would travel anywhere to see a show by the old band if it were a one off show.  Money would not be an issue at that point.
