Yes San Diego...Oct. 3rd...I will be in Vegas on 9/16 and at this one for sure...iPayOne Center is the Sports Arena, Guns played thier years back...but I fucking hate this venue, it's a shithole compared to any of the new venues, it needs to be leveled and have something modern built in it's place but this city is broke...

[Timmy]

could someone provide me a link to when tickets go on sale?

[penelopepitstop]

holy crap I am about to have a panic attack.....Time to hit the treadmill for some serious cardio

[Spirit]

could someone provide me a link to when tickets go on sale?

8/26 or 9/2?

[GNRSANDMAN]

Tickets go on sale this Saturday.

Tickets go on sale NEXT Saturday, 9/2

[Minneapolisnewsman]

I would imagine, late this week, or next week is when they will announce possible dates in LA, and Phoenix to go with the San Diego date, all to be on sale 9/2.

Alright, just got back from a RHCP show at Sports Arena (iPayOne) in San Diego. Here's some info that might be useful to some.
The show was sold out completely (even alot of seats behind the stage), so I think there were close to 15,000 people. It is not of the biggest arenas (like Staples center) but it is still pretty good size.
The Floor - .......frickin' chairs planted everywhere. And there was a huge distance between rows. We were in the 18th row on the floor and it felt like 40th.
NO AIR-CONDITIONING - yes, beleive it or not. We started sweating 15 minutes after getting there. Even Anthony started complaining 2 songs into the show. Wear light clothes, and bring a towel and a water bottle if you can.
The parking lot - DO NOT park in the main parking lot......BIG MISTAKE.....Not only is it $15 but there was nobody to direct traffic after the show and a big mess happened. Took an hour to get out of a medium size parking lot. Better park in the overflow parking outside on the street for just $10. Or park in the neighbourhood streets for free if you find space.
Security is incredibly loose. Use this to film a DVD and stuff. They let people in cameras no problem.
The venue is easily accessible from I-5 and I-8.
It is not the best place to have GN'R perform but I guess we can adjust to it.
In any case, next time GN'R management books a venue in San Diego tehy'll be much better off with Cox Arena, where: 1) there are no chairs on the floor 2) there is air conditioning 3) parking is better organized and it's FREE.

I agree in some points, but you make it sound like if its the worst arena in the world. I have been there to a couple of sold out concerts and i dont remember about feeling the heat or needing water. As a matter of fact, i recommend the in arena - parking.

BTW: the chairs can be removed, this was done in RHCP tour manager request probably.

IS that where the Lakers play exhibition games?

[leatherebel]

I just heard that on 91X. On the other hand, the website still says Oct 3rd.
They are already giving away tickets for the front row. But in the lamest and most difficult way. They have listeners call in and the first three get to compete for a pair of tix by singing along Sweet Child. Idiots.

[slash666]

i dont see why they would need to change the date 

[Where is Hassan Nasrallah ?]

i dont see why they would need to change the date

It looks like someone has been dipping into "horseys'" stash.

[ppbebe]

I tried to say something about the stash but give up.

free karaoke and get tix to the front row? I would have called in.

[GNRSANDMAN]

Yes, one. Been having it for a while now

Hell, I'd be game for that too. It's front row!

[leatherebel]

Well, it's not that easy. They only seem to give away a pair of tix a day. The way it was done today, they announced when to call to win the tix. Maybe a 100 people called in but only the first three got to compete and embarrass themselves on air. And at the end only one one.

BTW, I am absolutely sure they said at least 5 times the show is Oct 5th.
