Do you need a credit card to purchase vip tickets, or can you pay via paypal?

[SPUNKY]

I paid with my debit card, I thought the same!

Still no word on the 1st June 02 London date yet?... I'm not worried or anything because of those people who managed to buy tickets, and haven't had to refund them. I'm just going to book my travelling to London, and hotels with a mindset that the 1st June date is still going ahead.....

They must be really trying to target the first date, by trying to sell every single ticket before announcing the second show.

What if the gig isnt on the 1st but the day before instead?
You would of lost on Hotel fee's then.

Well it makes no sense it being the day before as they would be doing 3 shows in a row, with Manchester being on the 29th. Also there is plenty of room in between the 31st and the Rotterdam show on the 4th June, for an extra 02 date on the 1st June.

Again, the second 02 show was actually put on sale for a few hours, before getting taken down. And it was listed for the 1st June, so the chances are really strong that it will indeed be on the 1st June.

Really, that sounds like they were going to contact all of the people who purchased anything to do with the extra date, to either confirm it or start the process of refunds etc. It's also not a good sign, that ticketmaster has no idea about the extra date, seeing as you would imagine they would know "something" about the idea of an extra show.

Either way, it would be really helpful to know whats happening... 

[ckgent]

perhaps its gonna be an up close and personal show...no real venue decided upon and it was listed as o2 by mistake.....im only speculating, i kinda hope not tho as i couldnt make it.

[One.In.A.Million]

Well everytime GN'R has toured the UK, they have always closed with 2 nights in London. In 2006, it was 2 nights at the Wembley Arena, and in 2010 it was 2 nights at the 02...

So there's no reason to think they won't do this again, especially with the 2nd date actually going on sale.

I just wish there was some clarrification, to help those people who are booking time off work, hotels and coaches n' stuff... 

[jarmo]

In 2006 it was three nights in two nights.

In 2010, the last UK show was in Manchester...

Oh yes it was...

Totally forgot about GN'R's extra show at the Cuckoo Club, the night before the last show.......or was it the night after the first. 

 

And regarding the the 02 dates in 2010, yes you got me again.....

The London 02 dates actually took place before the Birmingham and Manchester shows. So they were the first shows of the UK tour, obviously not counting the Reading and Leeds shows earlier in the year as well.

I've never done a vip thing before, so I have a few questions. Well, really I just want to know what happens and how it all works.

[Nightrained]

I don't think June 1st is going to be a show. I mean, I've just bought another Newcastle ticket, so the UK tour hasn't sold out.

The o2 has nearly sold out, but is it worth risking putting on an event for 22,000 the following day?  Maybe if it was Wembley Arena (12,000) or another smaller sized venue, but not the o2. I hope they do, but I can't see it.

[andy1981]

is there any word on who the support band/s are for the UK tour?

don't want to see Bullet for my Valentine again

I hope not too. In 2010 it was just Seb Bach who supported and he rocked so I'm hoping its him again (or maybe all of Skid Row)
