Wow! just wow.

Edit: Dainty also reports there will be no issues with Tommy Stinson by the time the tour is due in Australia. "I've had a medical certificate from the doctor. He will be fine," Paul tells Undercover News. "There was a concern at one stage but he will definitely be okay by the time the Australian tour rolls around".
great!?

Its all about his pain tolerance...by then he should be close to completely healed, but everyone is different.

Guns 'n Roses Sell-out Australia
by Paul Cashmere - April 26 2007


The Australian leg of the Guns n' Roses world tour got off to a great start this morning when shows in Sydney and Melbourne sold out within 30 minutes.


A second show for Melbourne has now been put on sale for Saturday June 16 and a second Sydney show will happened at Acer Arena on June 24. These are the final shows for Australia.

Despite a false start to the world tour following an accident by band member Tommy Stinson, the Aussie fans opened their wallets as a sign of the faith that the show will go on.

Promoter Paul Dainty told Undercover that he expects Brisbane and Adelaide to sell-out today but there will be no more shows.

Dainty also reports there will be no issues with Tommy Stinson by the time the tour is due in Australia. "I've had a medical certificate from the doctor. He will be fine," Paul tells Undercover News. "There was a concern at one stage but he will definitely be okay by the time the Australian tour rolls around".

"It is all systems go," he says. "Stand by for an awesome tour".

Check out this video that Sebastian Bach posted on his website.

He stars talking about how his drummer broke his wrist and he thought he couldn't play HIS japanese dates and everything... and then, around 0:59 he says that Axl confirmed to him - via a Cell Phone's text - that they will be on Australia for sure! hahaha

Wow, so 3 sold out shows of which 2 were gone in half an hour?

Australia Rocks!?

Like I posted previously in this thread, it's stretching of the truth there to say that tickets sold out in half an hour on the 26th April since tickets have been on sale since Monday 16th April in various internet presales. They've had two presales before going on sale to the public on the 26th. One was a presale for VISA card holders on Monday 16th, the other was a presale for ticketek members on the 23rd. To say they ALL sold in 30 minutes is a stretch of the truth.

We do rock though down here!

All Tickets did not sell in 30 minutes on Thursday, when they had a week and halfs worth of internet presales leading up to the 26th...

[Eat Pop Slop]

^^ :lol: I followed up one of your posts with some additional info on Melbourne too, but no one seems to have noticed either of us!!

Melbourne should sell out over the next day or two by the look of it.

GUNS N' ROSES: Sydney Concert Sells Out In 30 Minutes

Australia's The Daily Telegraph reports that tickets for the Sydney show of the upcoming GUNS N' ROSES "Chinese Democracy World Tour" sold out in 30 minutes when tickets went on sale Thursday morning (April 26).

With 14,000 tickets snapped up within half an hour, a second show was added shortly after for June 24 at Acer Arena.

"The interest has been phenomenal,'' said promoter Paul Dainty, Chairman of Dainty Entertainment, adding that the Melbourne and Brisbane dates had sold out as well.

"We think when we look back on 2007 it will be a real rock n' roll highlight.''

After a 14-year break from Australia, GN'R will be back on local soil when they arrive in Perth on June 10 and will travel the country until June 25 ? whereupon they will head to New Zealand.

Well considering they had two presales, one for VISA card owners on the 16th, and another open to ticketek members on the 23rd , I'd say at least half of the 14,000 that eventually went on sale on the 26th.

So if 7,000 tickets sold in half an hour is impressive, well, so be it...

Next Sold Out Is ADELAIDE...

Comming + Info.

Australia loves gunsnroses

[GNR down under]

dont know if this has been posted but in the daily telegraph today dainty said they'd be playing in 9 other countries this year

[gunns1]

Im happy and p1ssd off at the same time.


First off,

p1sd off time:

I brought a ticket for the brisbane show ( ilive in sydney) thinking that they would only to 1 sydney show, but
now there doing 2, so I could of saved money and just brought 2 sydney tixs (i.e saving accom and airfairs +etc )

second happy time:

2. im seeing gnr twice, and both in different arenas

and Axls voice wont be as warn out, as if i was to go to the sydney shows, cause the second show is straight after the first sydney one,
and axl might be a little tied ...


So it brings me back to my first point


"SO BITTERSWEET THIS TRADJEDY"

[Blackrose]

^^ Thats why I held off buying tickets for Sydney, got my ticket for the first show in Melbourne and now got my ticket for the second show aswell, both gold SGA1. so that combined with accomadation(I live in regional Vic.) means that I am now broke. So I won't be able to make to the either of the Sydney shows now.

? But I will be seeing them twice in Melbourne, and it's gonna be one hell of a weekend!

[LanceLazer]

PS - all you people saying that it didn't sell out in 30 minutes, consider this:

A) Not everyone knew about the presales.

B) If there were no presales, do you think the people who bought tickets in presales would just say "Oh, won't bother" and not buy tickets on the 26th? It would've sold out just as quick, cos those people would have had to buy on the day as well.
