MY PROBLEM WITH US TOUR DATES SO FAR

[Jaeball104]

It seems to me that Axl and the boys are playing too many dates.

I don't see how they are going to come close to selling out these dates in Tampa, Jacksonville, Nashville and small cities such as this....I have NEVER HEARD OF ESTERO FL!!!!!

they should do 2 dates in FLorida... MAX...

Theya re going to end up not selling out thesse venues and then the press is going to turn on them and say look they cant sell out gigs... i think it will turn into bad press...

I think they should have stuck to major cities in the U.S.   until the album is out and hopefully doing well.


DOes anybodyelse agree?

[Dalshime]

Yup. And if this is to warm up for the album being released and another tour, I would have kept it smaller venues like they did in NY last May.

In a word,, no. I seriously doubt that GNR management knows less about this than you do.

[damnthehaters]

No, I disagree. ?GNR needs to reach out to as many people as they can right now. ?It's a new band and everybody needs to know that! ?There starting from scratch really, kinda like they did in the 80's. ?Start small, play a lot, and then move onto bigger things. ?

As many people as possible need to hear this new band. ?They are doing the right thing. ?This is the best way to eventually sell out big arena's on there next US tour. ?

[chad_er33]

i agree with you. ?they should do this tour in 2 waves. ?one tour with all the big cities in n.a. and once the album is out and doing well, take on the smaller cities. ?they should try and make this tour something special and grand to attend. ?just my thoughts ?

[jimb0]

We'll have to wait and see.

[benchiefjr]

well, if they're going to small cities in FL...they should come to Iowa then

Well, BOO-HOO Guns N' Roses is touring and they're playing lots of shows! This is so bad.

I can't believe some people actually whine about this stuff, it's hard to believe you're fans.

[Jaeball104]

im not claiming to know more than management.... but im just going on what i see... the US is not as accepting as this abnd as Europe is and the last US tour wasnt exactly a success.........

[PJ]

yeah is incredible!
they are playing a lot and is bad...

im sure they are not stupid.. if they are playing all those places.. there is a reason.. they have their numbers

[SLCPUNK]

Bitch bitch bitch.

For chrissake!

[jarmo]

GN'R only play a few shows in USA -> "Why aren't they playing closer to me? ? "

GN'R play more shows in certain states -> "Why are they playing so many shows? They won't sell out! ? "


People who go to these shows will have a great time. It doesn't matter if it's sold out or not.

The people who stay at home and watch Youtube clips will miss out. Their fucking loss.

Remember that next time GN'R is touring and they only play one show per state in USA. ?

its a fucking observation and a VALID one. ?Its hard to believe you don't understand that. ?Basic economic principles tell you that the more you saturate a market with supply the DEMAND WILL DECREASE. ?It amazes me how many of you think with your hearts and not your heads. ?Jesus christ....

Stop worrying about ticket sales.

Why do I often feel like this board is full of record company executives and not fans?

"They should do this and they should do that".


Enjoy the fact that we have shows. Enjoy the fact that many people who can't afford to travel has the chance to see GN'R in their home town!

Jarmo to be honest I am not worried about ticket sales.  I really don't care in fact.  It just amazes me that people will shoot down a valid point without even giving it a thought.  That is what bothers me.

What he said........

[jarmo]

Jarmo to be honest I am not worried about ticket sales.? I really don't care in fact.? It just amazes me that people will shoot down a valid point without even giving it a thought.? That is what bothers me.?

Don't you think he'd complain if they played only one or two shows in Florida as well?

Imagine if all of these shows sold out in five minutes. It would be "they should add more shows in Florida" then.

[Mattattack]

This is fucking retarded. Announce all the tour dates and the album at once, like every other band. This tour is going to be a major fuck up if they start putting these tickets on sale without an announcement of the whole tour and the album. This is some slick marketing!!

And it amazes me how you don't think that all the business people involved with the planning of a tour like this haven't thought this through already - and so it's something we don't need to think about because we don't have the figures/business knowledge......

Ticket sales are important. If they are not good, the promoter will cancel the shows. Ticket sales do matter. I believe this was part of the problem with the 02 tour cancellation. I guarantee you the band cares about ticket sales. You can't see a show if it is cancelled.
