[EFISH]

And I wondered why you had -3 karma points.

[Mr. Redman]

I haven't been to downtown Minneapolis for a couple years, (i moved to Vegas) but isn't the Hard Rock also right across the street from the Target Center?

Yes the Hard Rock is across the street but it sucks, its so small, there are a ton of bars by the Target Center much better ones to meet at. That is one good thing about the show being in Mpls as opposed to St Paul, more places to meet before and after the show.

Oh yeah, that's right, I remember now, I went there once when it opened. It was WAY to tiny. (I guess after living in Vegas and hanging at the Hard Rock here, the others don't compare)  First Ave. is pretty much right there too right?

Yep, First Ave is right across from HRC.

Does anyone know if it's gonna be GA or Seats?  I hope it's a pit.

Any word on when ticket go on sale?  And how?

[JuicySwoos]

In 02 I bought a few bottles of nighttrain for the pre-show warmup. This time around I am going to get a whole case. (if I can even find it anyway).

Where'd you find it? THey used to sell it over at a Val-U liquors on the U of M campus but stopped getting it a long time ago. That stuff is nasty.

[loretian]

I'll be there for sure, also probably Ames (never even been to Iowa so if there was ever a time to enter the state it'd be for this).? Preparty would be sweet, Loretian you mentioned something about your office across from Target Center? That'd be awesome.

Seems like the only time I come out of the boonies and post on here is when I'm attending a show.? Bring on GNR concerts #4 and #5 for me!

My office isn't across the street from the TC, but it's only a few blocks away.  We have 16 parking spots I could reserve for us as well.    A full bar, a full restaurant, plus two more floors with space for a band to play and the office is damn cool, we just renovated the whole building (in fact, we just moved in today)

My HTGTH usage definitely goes up when a show is coming up too.....

When are Minneapolis tickets going on sale?

[Mr. Redman]

When are Minneapolis tickets going on sale?

I'd like to know. Also, is there going to be a pre sale?

[Dadud3]

I plan on going if i can get tickets for anything other than GA. Theres no way in hell I, a 14 year old, am going in the GA area.

In 02 I lived in St Paul, so any liquor store on university had it.  I live in the burbs now and I have never seen it out here.  It does seem hard to find now.  Funny story, when I bought it in 02, the guy ringing me up says..."Going to see GNR tonight aren't ya?".  I asked him how he knew, he said that only GNR fans or homeless people buy the stuff.  Yeah, it is nasty.

[Mr. Redman]

I haven't been able to find it in any Liquor Store in Bloomington...

[Deez Nuts]

I haven't been able to find it in any Liquor Store in Bloomington...

I used to work on 85th and Lyndale a couple years ago, and on 84th and Lyndale there was a store called "SIDS" that had it one time I went in, I had to ask for it cause I couldn't find it on the shelves.?

The confusion of presales, passwords, ticketmaster, tickets.com, gunsroses.com, etc. is enough to drive any fan insane.? Hopefully I can keep my cool throughout the whole ordering process when it occurs.? All I'm hopeful for is the alloted 8 (i think that's the limit) for side seats somewhere close to the stage.? I'm bringing a posse of a few newbies to GNR and also getting two tickets as a wedding present for a couple.? I think I have 12-15 friends coming right now so 4-7 will have to sit by themselves.? Nonetheless should be a good night.

Thats awesome that you can find that many people to go to the shows.  In 02 I got a bunch of people to go, but tickets where like $40-50 bones for the floor. There is no way I can get that many people to pay $80+ this time around, plus I may use a scalper if need be, which would definately rule most people out.  Luckily I have my wife, and one other friend who are GNR diehards too (not as much as me, I have a GNR/Reagan room in my house), so I can at least enjoy the show with people I am close to.  It is so much more fun that way. I convinced my wife to drive down to Iowa for the show the night before, and my other friend wants to check out the Chicago show too....wooooohoooo!!!

Ha, I was in that area today...I'll have to get a 21 yr old to SIDS someday n' get me a bottle of Nightrain.

I'm assuming you worked in/around that lil' strip mall with Blockbuster n' shit? Before they rebuilt Cub?

[asianstyles]

Looks like some awesome stuff!!!

[FunkyMonkey]

So no word on ticket sales?  No clue, hint or guess?

[FunkyMonkey]

Gunsnroses.com has update to include the midwest shows....you still cannot buy tickets, but it's there!

[JDA]

That's great!  I was getting worried there for a bit.  I really wish the show was not at the Target Center but I'm just happy they're coming to Minneapolis.  So, let's get that pre-party planned.
