Well,

Everyone who gets the pass should buy one or two extra, surely someone on this board will be in need!!!!!

[JeRrYFaR]

Definitely a steep price, but GnR are worth it.. 

[russtcb]

Found a nice airfare... $189 r/t.

I'm not going to book it until Saturday to make sure the tickets actually go onsale.

Holy Crap! Where are you flying from and how'd you get that rate? If I could lower mine, that'd be awesome!

Out of Chicago.? Southwest Airlines.? I'm from Milwaukee, but will fortunately be in Chicago the 2 days before the GnR vegas shows seeing 2 Tom Petty gigs... so ill just fly out from there.

Thanks for the info......I'll go take a look at it now.

[Mr.Intensity]

$150 a ticket is fine......

[GnR-NOW]

is the joint general admission?

[dankrass]

Yes. And they oversold the fuck out of it.  Your best bet is to get on the drink rail behind the main floor/pit area.  You are still very close and see over the crowd, you can lean on something, and you have actually air flowing in front of you, not sweaty people.

Also, most of the people will flood into the pit area so its not like you have to be right up front in line to get a spot on the rail.

holy shit, i just looked at the pics of the joint online, its like one big room lol

True, I went to Korn last staurday at the joint...but I always end up fighting my way up front everytime I see a show there, most people flock to the bottom, but you can still usually get in from the side and straight to the front....hell, when i saw motley crue there, I stood in the very back at the bar and still had a great view

[GnR-NOW]

how do you get to the vip section

[axlrosegnr]

how do you get to the vip section

Its just the balcony, when you buy tickets just ask. You'll get full bar service and waitresses, but to me, it'd kinda suck being up there when i could be on the floor in front anyways

[Buddha_Master]

Lol didnt ealize there aren't seats. Sounds like the paladium kind of joint. Thats cool. My wife is clueless to seeing bands in hollywood in places like this. This is going to be very badass. Hopefully no smelly motherfuckers.

Showers are your friends.

Definitely a steep price, but GnR are worth it..?

Yep. It is kind of high, but it's GNR. I'd give one of my kidneys to see them.

  I see you're in the same boat as me.  God knows what I'd give.  Would be nice to be rich, just travel all over and see the boys play.  I'll just have to hope for a houston show this time around.

[The New Fiona Apple]

Hopefully the sound will be bettter this time. I heard it was subpar the last Vegas show.

[DaNutz]

Was it the acoustics at the joint...or just technical sound board problems, etc..?

[-Jack-]

I hope you guys all have fun at this gig! Wo0o0o. Im jealous, but I'll be at Invasion. Hopefully you guys will give me an idea on what kinda setlist they'll play.

Have fun suckas GNR!

It was GnR.   Too much volume/square footage.  The vocals were drowned out, just like at Hammerstein, but far worse at the Joint.
Trust me, it's not the room - this is a premier hall. I've seen 2 other shows here (both Bob Dylan) and the sound was perfect!  Now, Bob D isnt as loud as GnR, but this was about 5 years ago when  he had his 3-guitar version of his band, so there are lots of songs that get cookin', and even on the very loud tunes, it was spot on.   

Even at Chicago 02, I thought the sound mix was sub-par. Again, ive seen many other shows there where it was spot-on.   I don't know who does sound for GnR these days, but they are severely lacking in ability.   I almost prefer to see them in outdoor venues from now on, as its even harder to screw up a sound mix in an open-air environment --- but with my experiences with GnR' sound team, I wouldn't be surprised if they screwed that up too.
