VR TOUR ANNOUNCED

[Grouse]

Tour and Album News
Hard rocking supergroup Velvet Revolver, consisting of former members of Guns N? Roses along with Stone Temple Pilots? frontman Scott Weiland and Wasted Youth?s Dave Kushner, are putting the finishing touches on a new release, Libertad, and have been busy scheduling dates for the spring and summer in support of the album.

The band will launch their live assault with a six-date swing through South America beginning April 10 at the Pista Atletica in Santiago, Chile and wrapping up April 20 at Parque Metropolitano Simon Bolivar in Bogota, Columbia.

Next up is the 11-city U.S. leg of the tour, which kicks off May 4 at the House of Blues in West Hollywood, CA, and will make stops at a number of hot clubs and theatres around the country including San Francisco?s Warfield Theatre, Chicago?s Riviera Theatre and the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C., before finishing off May 22 at the Nokia Theatre Times Square in New York.

In June, the band will head to Europe for 17 dates with heavy emphasis on festival appearances including Rock Im Park and Rock Am Ring in Germany, Sweden?s Hultsfred Festival, Fields Of Rock in the Netherlands and Monsters Of Rock in Spain.

Libertad, scheduled for release in June, is the follow-up to VR?s Grammy winning 2004 debut, Contraband. The band originally planned to record the album with producer Rick Rubin, but when that fell through, frontman Scott Weiland tapped Brendan O?Brien and the band began working on the album last December.

When do tickets for the US tour go on sale?

[snakepiter]

when do the tickets for the chicago show go on sale???

[Calcy]

UK tickets are on sale now on presale. Actual sale is this Wednesday at 9am.

[BFD]

The way I read the Ticketmaster site is that you need to be part of the fan club to get a presale password.  I was hoping it would just come through the pipe on the VR mailing list.  I'd like to make sure I get tickets for the Toronto show.  Presale is tomorrow AM and the normal sale is Thursday AM, and the Kool Haus is gonna sell out right away.

Dont worry man, if you wait for the public sale im sure you can get tickets, a show cant sell out in a presale since only a limited percentage of tickets are released durring that.

hey, yeah, I got the email for the pre-sale but you gotta be a VR club member for that ($50--I'm canadian)...
I cant afford that @ the moment (student loans...ekkk)
BUT if anyone in toronto is a member, and wants to buy extra tix (you can buy a total of 4 w. the pre-sale membership), contact me, and I can purchase them from you.
As I understand, however, it is illegal to sell for profit....so basically its from the kindness of your heart.

me x-cited!

[Bad_Apple]

ok, so at the moment, it appears that the Toronto date is all sold out (minus the VIP package)....
if there is anyone out there w/ extra tix, lemmie know (I would like a total of 3, but I'll take whatever I can get)

PLEASE HELP!!!

[BFD]

This show appeared to sell out within four minutes.  It also appears on the site that there was no ticket limit, which is ridiculous, especially for a venue that only holds 3,000 people.  I'm on hold with Ticketbastard to find out if there was an actual limit, I could have bought as many as fifty on the internet page.

[Stealthcamo]

Damn it all! They would decide to play the same night as the Megadeth concert. I'll catch em' next time.

[BFD]

Just got of the phone with them.  They say that they don't set the ticket limit, the promoters do.  So in Ticketbastard's words, HOB thought it would be cool for the scalpers to get all the tickets.  Fucking bullshit!

[Bad_Apple]

ahhhh! that is so stupid! like don't they get the idea by now that they are just screwing over the fans? wtf!!!!!
If you or anyone else out there ever finds the tix (for reasonable price), email me at:

andisaidno@hotmail.com

I am even considering delaying my graduation gift to myself: euro trip for this! I saw em 2 summers ago at the kool haus and it was the best live show ever (I saw them other times, but as u all know, intimate venues are by far better)!!
Scott even made a comment about me during the set *blush*---hehe...my few claims to fame....
must....relive...the past...hehehe

[Jizzo]

thats odd

[Calcy]

They seem to be more on the ball with the US dates than the UK ones. All UK dates are on general sale now, plus Blackpool gig seems to have been shelved for a Manchester one at the Apollo.

Wake up!

[GNRforever10]
