Ticket Prices To High?

[WAR41]

how much were tickets in 2002 by the way?

The tickets I bought for the cancelled Greenville, SC. show were $40 face I think (before surcharges) but those were definitely on the lower end of prices for that tour.?

they are expensive. I read some place that bands make more these days on ticket sales than they do on cd sales. Maybe Gn'R want to make as much as possible before CD hits the shops, just in case it fails to sell. Although i would imagine it will do pretty well?

..sure hope CD is not released using various different covers, as VR did with their 3 different colour schemes. Talk about wanting to take cash from the fans.

i bought only the black one and it wasn`t worth the 15 euro or so i payed for it....

with CD, i guess i`d have to buy even 10 versions if they decide to release it in 10 colours

i almost pick up the red cover, then decided to download the album instead. I didn't like. If i had of liked it, i would have brought the red cover. Hope VR's 2nd album is better 

as for Gn'R, they could release a different CD with a different band member on the cover, crap idea, but could pull in the cash  if they did that i think the Axl cover would sell the most  with Robin taking 2nd place.

All you motherfuckers that keep complaining bout the prices you need to zip it man cuase if gnr weren't? touring you'd al be like man when are they gonna tour and now that they're touring ur compling bout the prices? If u wished so much about them touring and they tour your obviously gonna go and not care for the prices of the tickets if you where real fans you would not be complaining, your all just a bunch double talkin jive motherfuckers!

what the fuck ever, there still too high

i bought the red one...i like Contraband...but I didn't by more than one copy....and i won't buy more than one if GnR does it as well

[fear the juggalo]

prices are steep, but it depends on whos playing with them. if it's a7x they are a headlining band also, so it makes the blow on the price a little easier!!

Fuck yea to that,, and like when I met ya atr mustangs, Ill say again, , man just have a fuckng good time.


THis bitching and whining about tix prices is really old you either go or you dont. You have a good time or just stfu, whining will not change a damn thing!.  IF you are a kid relying on your parents to go to a show, god bless and I hope your parents are cool, if your someone who works and earns a living , well all i can say is if ya wanna see the band make the conccessions you need to,to suit it.
Otherwise its fucking pointless talkin bout pricing.

Yep. Unless you're just looking for something whine about (and alot of people are) then there's no point in asking if the ticket prices are too high. It's more of a personal matter then anything.

Are you guys serious?  Its simply an OBSERVATION.  Its something for people to discuss.  Give your opinion on the subject and move on instead of telling people to 'stfu' all the time. 

It wasn't an "OBSERVATION" it was a question / complaint about the ticket prices being too high. I was simply giving you an easy option to go with if you think so. 

[nesquick]

have you looked at Madonna and Paul Mc Cartney ticket prices?... the prices start around 150/200 dollars for the less expensive tickets.
I don't think the GN'R ticket prices are too high. Sure it's expensive, but when you compare with other artists, it's not.

Yeah, seriosuly, also look at the prices for the "legendary band' Supernova which will start a (debut if I am not mistaken) tour in Jan. The front row for the long beach show is being sold for $1400 a ticket at the auction

 Can you believe this?
Guns ticket prices are cheap. And be grateful, there are no ticketmaster auctions for them.
Where else can you see a show for $80 where you have a good chance of getting 5 feet from the stage (if you don't mind the waiting)?

It's all in what you want. I don't want to be fucking crushed from the crowd surge and have crowd surfers fuckin up my show like @ hammerstein,( i think i'm getting old) i want to enjoy the show and a fuckin mile away @ 150.-200.00 is a little high( and so am i)  and i'll bitch..oh yeah i'll bitch. But i'm going to as many as i can and i gotta buy for two cuz my woman says so

SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!

Here's your answer, everybody.

Would you pay the current price to see GNR?  No. They're not too high.

Would you not?  Yes. They're too high for you.  Quit whining while the rest of the tickets sell out to fans like me.

END OF DISCUSSION.
