165 gigs? Including the future dates, they've planned 195 dates since 2001. Five more to go for an anniversary

How many are unique venues? By which I mean say Leeds Festival, is two (separate journeys by going elsewhere before returning(yeah I know strictly is 2 anyhow, different sites)) as opposed to say the O2 in London on 2 consecutive nights, counts as 1.... Just trying to get an idea about the mileage travelled (as the crow flies)

Leeds festival is 2 different sites though    2002 @ Temple Newsam  / 2010 @ Bramham Park   

Bad example I know, but returning to the same venue after going elsewhere would count as two visits as opposed to consecutive shows at the same venue ie Wembley 2006, O2 London 2010 would count as one trip... This is the measure all tours should viewed by,  mileage x Countries played + (unique venues x dates) x  attendances (-50% for each festivals attendance) =    ness factor

Well I know I've added 157 venues to the database of my website.
And as far as I know they've played 2 shows in a row on the following venues:

2001:
12/29 + 12/31 hardrock hotel, las vegas

2006:
05/12 - 05//17 hammerstein ballroom, new york
07/05 + 07/06 Hartwall areena, Helsinki
07/29 + 07/30 Wembley arena, London (however they did play an acoustic show in between those shows)

2007:
06/15 + 06/16 Rod laver arena, melbourne
06/19 + 06/20 Entertainment centre, brisbane
06/23 + 06/24 Acer arena, Sydney
06/29 + 06/30 Vector arena, Auckland
07/14 + 07/15 Makuhari messe, Chiba

2010:
10/13 + 10/14 O2 arena, London

I don't know the milage and attendance for every show but as far as your formula goes:

mileage x countries played + (unique venues x dates) x attendances (-50% for each festivals attendance) = tour coolness

=

mileage x 45 (*1) + (147 (*2) x 195) x attendances = tour coolness

*1 USA, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia counts as 1 each. However:
they've played 22 states in the USA
they've played 8 states in Canada
they've played 2 countries in the United Kingdom
they've played 5 states in Australia

*2 All venues minus (venues they've played 2 or more consecutive shows, devided by two)

Hi just to let you guys know.

[samoice]

No- And I'm getting really nervous- got them from GetMein tickets who says they should be here at least 1 week before the show but we're leaving for London Late Tues which is 6 days before Birmingham! That's too close for comfort.

Does anyone know how long before the show they usually come? I may have them re-routed to the hotel in Birmingham to be safe.

[samoice]

anyone buy fromeventim.co.uk?? I got nice seats, near block 403
Dont know why you would wana stay a week in Brum least im going to london

Didnt read my post- said leaving for LONDON -I wouldnt stay a week in Birm. either- Staying in  in Sweet Hotel in London most of trip- Seeing GnR in 2x O2 also, Just Birm. 2 nites for concerts in Birm & Men. actually got killer Hotel in Birm. as well.

I bought with the Birmingham NEC's ticket site (Ticketweb) and on the receipt I printed out, it said:

"Your tickets will be posted out with the next week or two. Please note that on some occasions it is sometimes necessary to delay tickets being posted to approximately two weeks before the show. This is due to circumstances beyond our control."

I guess this the promoter doing the best he can to boycott touting.

[Il?vatar]

Not been to a concert for a while, is it still easy to get tickets off touts outside?

Ahh sorry lol. I gota hotel in london too... soo expensive!! The Holiday inn express better b good for ?140 :|   must b rich to afford brum as well lol

If it wernt for reading  ( damm them for sayin it will b the only Uk tour dates.... i bet that was the reading head sayin that not gnr, i would of never of gone...) would have had more moneys for london... but o well it was an impulse buy, thank god for these things called overdrafts

But that is quite worrying for people in europe who wont gget there tix till mid week ??
Re routing to the hotel is a good idea, wonder if they will allow that?

[MrGawain]

I got an e-mail saying that they were still waiting for 'specific stock' (i.e.: it's got a pretty picture on the front of it unlike the usual o2 tickets) from the promoter. Plus I'm guessing that Guns are a little more risky (like when Axl said he hadn't agreed to tour after the tickets were sent out) than your Bryan Adamses or Snow Patrols so they choose not to print the tickets until a bit later. I would guess they'll turn up when we get into the 1st full week of October.

[John]

Yeah, I recieved the same email also.

Shouldnt be a problem, even those travelling etc will have a them a couple of weeks prior I should think.

[Gezzy]

I got a feeling they'll look a little like this, with the design and holograms.
