Chance of Sell outs?

[Slashahaulic]

Ticket sales are slow almost across the board.? They should know that the US market is not the same as the European market.

I think that's why they booked smaller venues, some even smaller than 2002. Other than MSG, most are smaller.

I think after 2002, they know that ticket sales are only going to do so well, especially with no album or single out.

Motley crue had a similar successful tour.

They played half house shows, at least in the smaller markets...that contributes to the "succesful" tag that tour recieved.? It plays better in reviews and promotion if the show is sold out, versus half empty, even if the half empty has more people than the sold out half house.? ?I wish GNR would be doing half house shows this time around, just to create more buzz and demand, at least in the medium to smaller markets.? I am going to the Minneapolis show, and they didn't come close to selling out in 02 with much lower ticket prices, although I though the crowd was decent. Hopefully they will get as many people this time around, who knows though, tickets started out like gangbusters but it looks like they havent sold a ticket since saturday.

I am not sure about continental airlines arena..I have been monitoring the sales on ticketmaster for this show since it is right next to my house..they sold out of GA the first week or so, then they slowly sold out of all the lower seats, now they are saying there are more GA available...also the closest seat in the top level is like 15 rows back...i saw Iron Maiden their last week and the venue was handing out GNR flyers promoting the show, I am seein the red hot chili peppers tonight which is sold out and tomorrow night is sold out..i am sure they will promoting the show these two nights as well....I think the show will be pretty much sold out...Iron Maiden had a decent crowd of like 14,000 or something, and GNR is way bigger than they are here in the states....

I think GNR would have no problem of selling out 10 - 15000 seated aphitheathers...

Crue did, and so must GNR

Right now, thats not the case sadly, at least in most markets. Maybe the single will turn it around.

It is tough for GNR to sell out huge arenas because AFD is still the main album in their setlist.?

If there was a reunion and all they played was Appetite from Beginning to end.. The shows would sell out.

that's true but that would be lame.

[The Legend]

I wouldn't even go to that show, if I knew that's what a potential reunion would be doing before hand.

Once again, other than a few songs, i'm sick of AFD.

Exactly. It's been 15 years since GN'R put out new original material. We have a decade and a half to re-hear the old stuff over and over, and i've simply had my filling of it.

It's time for something new.
