Hey fuckers suck on this shit! I'm coming! There's no emoticon for this feeling I'm having right now Hmm.. Is anybody going to record this show?

Btw. What did I tell you guys? I told you they would come to Finland..

[Will]

Awesome!! Arena tour dates rule! I'll be there.

[Skeletor]

W00t!! Count me in...

[Will]

Anyone knows hotels in Helsinki that are not too expensive? It's already 220 euros for the flight.

Or if anyone on the board has a spare room or couch or something...

[kaasupoltin]

Here is some info about the arena: http://www.hartwall-areena.com/en/index.php?id=90  Check out the virtual tour..
Only thing that sucks here, is that Hartwall Arena is the home arena of Jokerit. They really suck

EDIT.
Will, I dont know much about the hotels, but I guess that Sokos Hotels (http://www.sokoshotels.fi/english/) are one of the cheapest in Helsinki. You should check them out. There is also one Sokos Hotel in Vantaa (cheaper than Helsinki) - the city is right next to Helsinki so by train it takes 10-15min to get there, and the hotel is located right next to the railway station. And that hotel is 7km from the airport.. If anyone knows better, help him

[Rockin' Rose]

Oh My God!!!

I'll be definitely coming, whihii!!!

Btw. What did I tell you guys? I told you they would come to Finland..

I wrote Fortus an e-mail months ago and asked if they could come to Finland on their next tour, still no reply... fucker!

Great to have them over here, welcome back Axl!

[axe]

Count me in. There's nothing that can keep me away if only Axl and the guys show up, too - unlike that disappointing time a few years ago.

Can we have the ticket price information on these threads also when possible? Just to compare between countries and gigs. Helsinki tickets are 49 / 55 euros.

[Aava]

Me, me, me!

IF they?ll come, I?m there!!

[Skeletor]

Helsinki tickets are 49 / 55 euros.

Can you link to the source of this? Lippupalvelu didn't have the gig listed yet.

What comes to music, this is going to be a great summer for me.. Guns n' Roses, Rolling Stones, Hanoi Rocks, Iron Maiden, ( + Pori Jazz 2006 ) See you guys in the Arena!

I'll always have room for a fellow Gunner. At least as of today I don't see any problem lending my couch for a night or two around those dates.

I'm not even too far from the venue. PM for more details.

[kupirock]

Awesome!! Thanks man!

Yey, already got my tickets. Well not in my hand, but pre-ordered them through a friend who can do that before the official ticket selling starts. Normally I'd hate this kind of behaviour - the possibility to get tickets beforehand and using contacts this way - but now we're talking about Guns N' Roses, and I'm not going to take any chances that I'd miss Monday at 9 am for some reason.

Oooh.. you have always been my friend, right? Get me a ticket!

[axe]

I'd really like to help but I guess it's out of my control. For most of the gigs like Rolling Stones, Iron Maiden and so on, they have a 5 ticket pre-ordering quota, and this guy has already gotten 7 tickets for GNR.

This time this is working for me, but I really hate the fact that Lippupalvelu makes this possible. Workers for certain companies are able to get the tickets this way easily even when they are really not that interested in the band, and possibly many hardcore fans that are willing to stand in line or wait in the phone for hours can't get tickets because of that.

I'm torn but happy.

[Will]

Damn. I hope I'll be able to get tickets...

Thanks again Axlative!
