This might be a bit of a silly/obvious question, but in this case, does "receipt" of your purchase mean the "Confirmation of your order" e-mail received after pre-ordering the album on BestBuy.com?

It says in the e-mail I got confirming my order from best buy:

This is not a receipt. Check your order status to view and print a receipt.

Ah, very good to know.  Thanks for that info!

Edit: okay, again, I might be missing the obvious here, but when I login, I can view my order.  I don't see any options or text that explicitly say "this is a receipt" or somehow identify the order view as a receipt.  I'm assuming I should just print the order view page, but, I thought I'd double check to be sure in case anyone else knows more.

I was a little bit  curious myself. It doesn't specifically say it's a receipt when you log in and view the order, but it sure looks like one. I don't imagine it could be anything else - just to be safe though, I printed that and my e-mail from them.

Wow, sounds like an awesome time.  I'm curious why nothing is done for us Canadian fans.  Toronto is the 5th largest city in North America and have always treated GNR rather well.  Between the listening parties and UK's biggest fan I'm somewhat envious that there's nothing for Canadian gunners.  I suppose the fact that we can buy the album on the 23rd anywhere is somewhat of a prize.

Anyway, hope all who go from this board gets a t-shirt.

Cheers,

Andrew

It would be a strange person who thought "Oh, I was going to buy the album next week, but now that there's shitty quality phone clips of a few of the songs available, I won't bother."

Not that I don't understand them avoiding such things.

Boston.  Best city in America!!

Home of Sam Adams! (the Beer)

I wish I could go, but nothing withing 150 miles of me...can I buy that shirt (or 5) anywhere?

PS - They won't let phones in because this is all a front for a Time-Share sales pitch...they don't want you to be able to warn your friends!

[younggunner]

I know why they say that but I mean seriously what GNR fan is going to record the songs on their phone and them upload them? The album is coming out in less than 2 weeks!

The only reason I care is because I have to travel to the party and really dont want to travel without a cell phone.

Who wants cell phones going off during a listening event?

In addition to the possibility that you could record it or broadcast it to somebody else via the phone.



But how annoying is it to have somebody talking on the phone at a concert?

Imagine at this event.

You want to hear the album and the person next to you is more interested in the phone conversation...

Just leave it in the car when you get there?
or just turn it off when you go in.

[younggunner]

im taking the train. If I was driving I wouldnt care.

[BurningHills]

I'd love to make it to one of these, but unfortunately it seems impossible. They're all at least a few hours away.

Now, if they wanted to add one in say, Wilkes-Barre or Scranton, then we could talk!
