Bottom line, its all about what its worth to you.  To me I dont really mind spending 75 for a GNR ticket.  If you look at a sporting event, if you want to go to a football game its like 75 for nosebleed seats.

The Rolling Stones and Madonna charge up to $400 a ticket.  That in my eyes is highway robbery and I certainly would not pay it because they charge that for virtually every show to be on the floor.

GNR is my favorite band and I guess that puts my blinders on because I had no issue plunking down $670 for 4 tickets to see them both nights in Vegas.

But even the regular arena shows they are playing, the highest ticket is about $75-that really is the going rate these days.  If you are going to complain about it, my guess is that you don't go to concerts very often.

I'd like them to be at about $55-60 for general admission that would be ideal IMO and that's about what i paid to see megadeth and VR last year

I dropped around $767 for a trip to Sacramento and San Diego.

each gnr ticket with tax and printing it off TM came to about $98.

Hotels and airfare totaled it to $767.

I don't care about spending the money because to me...it's a VACATION.

And my philosophy is you work your ass off to take a VACACTION. ?So spending the money isn't an issue for me either.

I wish I was in Vegas this Sat. ?It's my bday..but I have to work.

I wouldn't mind paying $75 for a ticket if it was in a 6-7000 seat venue that I knew was going to sell out but I hate showing up to these huge venues that are barely half full.?

AMEN. If they come to minneapolis and ?have reserved floor seating, I will be giving a scalper my business if I cannot get front row seats on my own. ? I'd spend way more than $100 bucks on a ticket so I am not going to complain. To a casual fan however, I could see how $75 not including service charges would be too much. But thats what the upper level seats are for. I want to feeeeeel the pyro! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Hell, I would like them to be $20 which is about what I paid to see them in 1988 but that is just a dream gone far away. ?

But I agree with you they should lower the GA price a tad, because technically without seats on the floor I think that increases the capacity the floor can handle. ?

Dolphin, I totally agree with you, I made a vacation out of Vegas-For the 2 of us going from NY besides the tickets the airfare+hotel is about $900 making the trip for 2 almost $1600 but we are staying from Thurs-Mon ok

Not only did I feel the pyro at Hammerstein but when I got home and undressed I had confetti coming out of everywhere! Shocked

 hihi at least my price is reasonable hihi peace I wouldn't be happy about spending $60 but i would....I'd LIKE it to be a free show...i saw Vince Neil for free a couple weeks ago...and he played mostly Crue stuff and he also took an O2 break every couple tunes ....gnr is doing pretty much the same thing aren't they? And Vince sounded amazing and his guitarist is prolly better than Robin too Wink nervous peace

Then I want to feel the heat from the November Rainsparks. Getting in the front row was my point. However I am too old and impatience though to deal with a GA floor. Lower level front row may be the case if all the shows are GA on the floor (and its looking like it so far, Reno is the only show that is reserved).

I believe they will eventually.  It makes sense if they are also going to south america.
