Guns N' Roses Hartford, CT November 19th

Maybe, altho we know we're on Axl's time regardless of curfews... lol
It dont matter to me at what time they come on. Its a Saturday anyways...

Agree.  And I've been at shows in Hartford (at both places) that have gone past midnight.  They don't pull the plug...they just get "snarky".  I know the XL Center....the curfew was always because the event parking lot owners complained (though usually only during the week).

But with the Comcast (Dodge/Meadows/whatever they're calling it this week), that's not really an issue. They have on site parking that can MORE than handle the 7500 people.  Sure, the makeshift event parking is cheaper...but it's not necessary.

Hell F'ing yes!  I can't wait.  What's this with needing an iPhone for the pre-sale?  That doesn't seem right.

there seems to be 2 presales.  One is a mobile app presale but the only way to download the app is with an Iphone..hopefully I am wrong on that one I am looking into it more.  The second presale which happens on Thursday is a Citi cardholder presale which is the official card of livenation, then the public on sale is Friday. 

The Citi presale will require you to actually HAVE (and, I think, use) a Citibank credit (maybe debit, too) card.  You enter your card number in, much like the AMEX presales.  No password for that one.

The mobile app presale MIGHT have a PW...or it might just make you use the app to order tix.  Not sure.

I'm there!  show #3 for me - day after Priest show- going to NY from NC to see my folks 4 annual trip anyway- gonna borrow 1 of my client's Citibank card's 4 pre-sale- fuck yeah!

I don't have an iPhone or a Citi card.  Not off to a good start here.

yeah I'm going to borrow someones Citi card.  I hope I can figure out a way to do that mobile app presale since it is the first one.  Either way, I am not as stressed as I should be because of two factors, 1. I am highly motivated, and 2. I have this week off from work.  That is a deadly combo for me.  I'm talking multiple computers/smartphones set up and going to be relaying instructions to friends over the phone, it's going to be DEFCON 1 status by Thursday morning.   

but having said that, I am still stressed until I get the actual tickets.  I also hope this mobile app presale bullshit doesnt eat up all the good seats.  Of course I say it is bullshit because I don't have an iphone, if I had one this app presale would be the greatest idea ever!!!

How are the acoustics at this place?
Gonna be up in NH that weekend for Social Distortion. Would be great if GNR played Hampton Beach, or Verizon Center.
Maybe wishful thinking though..

Not...great.

Let me caveat that by saying: I've NEVER been to an indoor "rock" show there.  All the big rock concerts I've been to at the Dodge/Meadows/Comcast have been with the "doors" open and the lawn in play.  It's not horrible, but it's not great, either.

Closing it off, though, is probably going to radically change the acoustics, though.  It's VERY small.  They say 7500 people, which sounds about right. In the indoor seating, you sort of feel like you're sitting in the performers laps.  The indoor is MUCH more like a theater setting than an arena.

Cool, thanks. Theatre setting is definitely appealing.

I've seen a few concerts there...  Motley Crue, STP, etc.  it's an ok place, similar to Providence.

I just got an e-mail from Live Nation about the pre-sale.  It appears those of us without iPhones or Citi cards might be okay, at least from what I can gather.  Just try the password "speaker", and it should work like the others.  Looks like it's a Live Nation/Mobile App. pre-sale, meaning you can use one or the other.  At least I hope so.  I'll be online tomorrow the stroke of midnight, hoping for the best.  I just tried to call into WCCC to win front row tickets, but no luck.  I didn't understand the damn question anyway so I wouldn't have gotten it regardless.  They were doing some contest "Name that Sweet Child".  They gave some random clue, and the answer was Suri Cruise.  I was lost, so I'm glad they didn't pick up on me.  Would've made me look foolish.

Same here...

where?

[stvyrayvhn]

Worcester, MA. I just posted it.

[axlpwns]

Thanks i'm gonna try to get tickets in hartford though im using the citicard peresale cause worcester is 2 far a commute and hopefully they will play the NY Metro area cause i live around there so i can up 2 or 3 shows there

[stvyrayvhn]

I'm going to hit both Worcester and Hartford if they play both.  They are both about 40 minutes from my house.

[axlpwns]

Lucky  hartford is about 2 hours from me so worcester will probablly be around 3 hours

[stvyrayvhn]

Yup it's about 3 hours from you.  I travel from my area through yours every now and then and that's about right.  You'd take 95N to 395N and be in Worcester.  I'm in Rhode Island but only 10 minutes from 395 and another 20-30 from Worcester.

If you did both shows you'd be better off staying over in Hartford...

[axlpwns]

I'm gonna hope they play more in NY but im definitely in for the hartford show cause im doing the presale 

[IFINGLOVEGNR]

I'll be there!

Is the Hartford presale at 12:00 AM or 12:00 PM on Sept 22??? The e-mail I got says 12:01 AM, but everything on the site says 12:00 PM? Anyone?

It looks like they changed it.  Used to be 12:01 for the mobile app/Live Nation pre sale.  But looks like those AND the Citi card pre sale are all tomorrow at noon.
