GN'R in Australia (2 additional shows announced & sold out shows)

[ClintroN]

Paul Cashmere of Undercover News reports that reports that the Australian leg of the GUNS N' ROSES tour has been indefinitely postponed are incorrect according to promoter Paul Dainty.

Dainty has once again confirmed to Undercover News that reports emanating out of South Africa last night that the Australia and New Zealand GUNS N' ROSES shows have been postponed following yesterday's decision by the band to pull out of South Africa have not been confirmed.

"I spoke with them last night and they did not tell me that," Dainty told Undercover.

Earlier, Japanese dates were postponed after bass player Tommy Stinson fell down a flight of stairs. GUNS N' ROSES postponed their Japanese dates because of the injury and yesterday also put South Africa on hold.

The South African shows were to take place in Johannesburg and Cape Town on April 27 and May 1. "The South Africa dates are next week," Dainty said. "The Australian dates are still months away."

Just wanted to mention that if anyone watched the Broncos V Titans game (I fucking hate the Titans  ).. you might have heard Welcome To The Jungle being played at the stadium before the game 

[waxlrick]

I heard that last week yes.

[R.A.W.]

About 10 years ago the Tigers (AFL) came out to Welcome to the jungle instead of their club song.
The 50,000 plus crowd went crazy.

[badapple81]

Haha what kinda crazy are we talking?

[redx]

weather it's on of off, theres no point in visiting www.gunsnroses.com for the lastest news, as they just don't seem able to update the news in a hurry

On the main page it still reads:
Guns N' Roses have announced that they are postponing the start of their world tour, in Japan, but will honor the two MyCoke festival dates in South Africa at the end of the month.

I don't finck Gn'R will be Africa any time soon

I sent a direct email to one of the guys from the DCE group a few hours ago - he confirmed that the tour was ON and that the My Ticketek presale is currently being organised for tomorrow.

Good news!!

Was also a presale for Optus Prepaid members on the weekend just gone.

Got my ticket on Saturday night.

My melbourne ticket says SGA2 as well....im just wondering...does anyone here have SGA1 ?

It appears as though Melbourne floor may be seperated, I just purchased two tickets for the floor and they are SGA1?

[R.A.W.]

What door number does your ticket say to enter through.

Mine is door 16. Maybe that is where the sga1/sga2 confusion is because i have called ticketek
and there assuring me that it is just one big general admission area and it will avoid 4000 people all
going through the same doorway.

I spoke to someone at Ticketek too, they said it's only going to one big area.  They said that they can't charge the same price for Gold GA and have one area closer than the other, if they did this the ones further back would have to be silver tickets. 
She said it's just a different code on the system - presumably if they wanted to make it gold and silver in the GA then they could and the different codes would be applicable, but in this case it's irrelevant.

Don't know which door number, just purchased my tickets online today and it came up with SGA1, will have to wait for the tickets to arrive. Like you said it is most likely only for a different door entry.

If the Australian leg of the tour goes ahead will you then be able to acknowledge that your perceptions and objective reality are two separate entities? You've said more than once that it's not going to happen or that people have tickets "to a show featuring 'The Nothing',"  so if the shows go ahead as planned you will have been proven wrong, yes? In which case can we all look forward to the end of you equating your opinion with "the truth"?

hey man. i have not stated opinion. i have just stated the facts of the situation, thats it...first i said the s.africa tour would not happen and everyone jumped down my back. its off. then the AU shows were cancelled with no word from the band. thats all i said. i also said all this misinformation out there and confusion needs to be cleared up by the band so promoters and fans can actually trust that a show is going to happen. without that trust, no promoter will underwrite the band and no fans will buy tix because they fear its not going to happen. thats pretty much what i said. the facts, the reality of what has happened and what is happening...its not my opinion....also, if the AU shows are on, the band should come out right now and tell the fans that its happening...the fans have no clue if its gonna happen or not. i mean is that too much to ask a band to say they are going to play a show for AU fans after they ask them to pony up their hard earned money on tickets? i think not...when i comes to a band touring and announcing a tour, the  fans shouldnt be asking themselves, as you put it, "IF" the tour is gonna happen. the fans should actually have the  right to know that it will happen so they can decide to buy tickets...why would any promoter underwrite a gnr show if the the fans have to ask themselves "IF" the tour is gonna happen.....
