UK tour in May 2012

[g2r_Axl]

Well I just had a call of O2 Academy Events this morning telling me that due to the GNR tour, our (Guns 2 Roses) O2 tour dates are now being moved to September so's not to clash. Looks like I'll be attending the majority of these shows as a result now. 

[Alan]

There is a free date before and after 31st May Think this is incase the first one gets booked out?
Oh and to the other guy, you clearly dont like axl so dont bother going to the show. Your the one who throws stuff or shouts "slassshhh" all night! Thus ruining it for everybody

I therefore love axl.

To anyone in london, can you get to kings cross if the show finishs at 12:20-25 (like last time) ?

last time around in london the tubes ran late, and not sure if it was true or not but rumour was that the gnr camp actually paid for that to happen so fans could get home.

Great news with the UK Tour,
does anyone know if there are any hotels in walking distance of the O2 Arena.
In 2010 all the trains had finished after gig and it was a nightmare,
Looking forward to it.
Any hotel suggestions welcomed.
THanks

I had the same problem last time - Waterloo was closed, ended up getting a ?110 taxi home

Nearest hotel I've found that seems ok is Holiday Inn Express - It's just down Millennium Way about 1 mile from the arena...and you get free breakfast. Booked yesterday for a double room = ?106

With that and Wagamamas by the Arena I'm sorted

I stayed there in 2010, nice hotel, and very convenient for the O2.  Just reserved my room for May :-)   

Right, who's going to the Pilot for a pre-gig beer then? 

[BumbleBuzz]

I'll be in Newcastle

The cheapest I could find was ?85 per night (was ?28 in 2010 and the same again three week prior to the GnR gig  ), the Queens jubilee gig is the following monday so guess that London is looking to inflate the whole lead-up to this event in the price of rooms for

Does anyone know how these presale things work?

Are all the best seats taken through presale?

I only intend on goin to one show so will be willing to spend 4-5 times ticket value for top notch seats.

Trouble is, I'm not with American express or O2.

Anyone help me out at all?

In my experience, they don't offer good seats at presales. I've always assumed it's because they think that fans will buy anything in their panic to get a ticket. Try during the main sale on Friday but, sadly, I expect you'll find the best seats will pop up on the supposedly resale market within a few hours.

(I say 'supposedly resale' on purpose, as anyone who watched the Channel 4 Despatches programme last week will understand.).

Just got my Liverpool tickets through the o2 pre-sale

Pretty good seats too.........now I'm a happy man

[Lancia34]

That's what I was expecting and then found that the AMEX presale tickets for London O2 were only for floor standing which doesn't get any better
Not sure if it was the same for the other venues though.

My sister just booked tickets for the O2-show!!! Yeehaa!!! I'm also going to Graspop so it looks like I'll see GN'R twice this year  

[feestybaby]

Manchester booked! I know I will end up going to at LEAST another date as well, I always try and tell myself that one gig will do and then I end up in London!! Last time I went to London Duff showed up so that was certainly an interesting gig!

[robd788]

Tickets for Liverpool and London booked!!!!!  Decent seats at decent prices, cant complain!!!

[richwoman]

looked at 02 pre sale but think i can get better seats on general sale, although i`m leaving it to someone else to book them cos i`ll be in work i think i could easily have a nervous breakdown on friday

Ya know, it has been said in the past by many people that it does in fact pay to wait until the general sale starts. Obviously you need to make sure you are there during the early part of the opening. But the best seats don't always end up on the pre-sale list, so wait and be patient.

Picked up my floor ticket for the O2 show today.

See you all there.

Chalk me up Jarmo

Saw the prices for the tour this morning, and were like 'Oh damn, I can't afford that!'. Then I remembered my parents had said if there are any gigs we want to go to they'd pay as birthday presents for me and my wife. When my wife called to talk about this, she was told they heard it advertised on the radio and were going to get us tickets anyway.

So, I'll be at the O2 Arena. Was pissed that I missed the shows in 2010 (other than Reading, which... well... y'know), and didn't want to miss them again.

[One.In.A.Million]

Does anybody know how the Planet Rock presale works?, do I need a code for tommorrow or what?.

All these presales and stuff is sometimes confusing, could someone explain how the presales work and when they are etc?. 

[jarmo]

Aren't most pre-sales the same?

You join a mailinglist and they send you an e-mail with a code or a link?
