October 31 - Jacksonville, FL @ Veterans Memorial Arena

[schtingmon]

Gunsnroses.com has finally updated their tour dates to show Jacksonville on 10/31.

[coondogg]

I just saw Jarmo changed the date on the web site and this thread. Is there something you want to tell us? (Besides wait for a press release, which it's getting a little late for  )

[dolphin]

Well it still all worked out for me to attend Jax show.

I was able to get time off

move flight on Southwest from Tampa with no extra charge

and secure same hotel

 

[The Illusion]

This is crap...I will never get to see them.  Just like my damn tampa tickets years ago...right before they canceled.

[SLCPUNK]

I may well be selling my tix for Jacksonville.

3 front row side, right next to stage.

Sucks.

[schtingmon]

I will probably email ticketmaster or call them to request my money back.

[coondogg]

I just called and cancelled my tickets. It cost me about $6 in fees. Ticketmaster can suck my dick.

[Dr. Blutarsky]

I'll still be there. My wife may not go though. Itll be me and whoever wants to go off a free ticket or Im doing a solo trip. Many of my friends have kids and the're not gonna want to leave them on halloween.

[SLCPUNK]

 I'd just go solo.

[NicoRourke]

So, where's that press release ?

[dolphin]

an email I received today:


Dear Guns N Roses Fan,
We previously contacted you to let you know that the upcoming Guns N
Roses concert at the Jacksonville Arena had changed from a Reserved
Seating floor plan to a General Admission, Standing Room Only floor
plan. We do not have record of contact from you, and as stated in our
previous notice, we will be exchanging your Reserved Floor Seating to
General Admission, Standing Room Only tickets.
Starting Monday, October 16, Ticketmaster will be sending your valid
General Admission, Standing Room Only tickets for the upcoming Guns N
Roses concert at the Jacksonville Arena. Your new tickets will be sent
to you in the same manner your original tickets were shipped. For
example, if you had selected ticketFast as your delivery, your new

The new tickets you are receiving are for General Admission Floor access
and carry a unique and secure barcode, which is the key to entry to the

This could be a real problem for anyone who purchased via ebay or ticket broker...

I could be able to go to this , but none of my Friends want to go, or they're busy. My Parents unforunately can't do it due to work. I've seen CKY on Halloween the two times they did it in Philly but something about GNR on Halloween just seems .. magicial.

[Dr. Blutarsky]

I got that email after I got my seats changed. Obviously an oversight. Anyone notice at the venue web site it now says 7:30?

Great, the only thing consistent here has been the lack of consistency!   Well, at least I finally got my free tickets that I scored from a local radio station before they went on sale. They aren't the best seats (Sec 107 Row Z) but free is free. I guess they coulda stuck me with the cheaper ones instead of mid price range.

Although I would like to attend the show in it's entirety, I likely will have to try and make it there by the time GNR get ready to go on. That gives me time to speed through the neighborhood and take my kids out for some door to door begging. I couldn't convince the wife that I didn't need to participate in my sons first halloween.

Now I'll just try to find someone to join me since she can no longer use our other ticket...That is if nothing else changes....13 days is a long time for some more curve balls to get thrown at us.

Maybe they'll wind up rescheduling the other dates and we will be the tour kickoff site after all!  J/K
 

[Dr. Blutarsky]

I was lucky enough to convince my wife to still go & ask her boss  if she could come in a few hours late the next day since I anticipate getting home at 2:30-3:00 AM  ( I live about 2 1/2 hrs south of Jacksonville)

I wont be able to get there till 8:30 most likely.

Most GNR fans arent in college anymore & have families & real jobs. This rescheduling & now starting the show earlier makes it more difficult to get there before Baz starts.

Row Z doesnt sound real promising, but you cant beat a free ticket. I spent almost $200.00 for 2 after all the fees & shit.

Yea, maybe that gets me closer to the exit so I can beat some people out. lol  I am a bummed that she's not getting to go, she is about 5 years younger than me, so she wasn't really into them in her formative years. This would have been her first real arena rock show, but I appreciate her sacrifice so I can still make it there. Gets hard to find a babysitter for tuesday nights and the kids have school in the morning.

[Dr. Blutarsky]

And being close to the bathroom is a plus!

I hope my seat is not smack in the middle of the row, that has happened to me too many times at Bucs games. Miller Lite doesn't make it any easier.

Not sure what seat number you have, but I believe there are 18 seats in the section/row you are in. Mine is so far away I cant tell how many are in my row.
