Guns N' Roses - Live in London 2012 movie

[Nightrained]

looks like showcase have stopped showing it at a lot of cinemas mentions. Only showing at Glasgow, teeside, manchester, liverpool, reading, cardiff and bluewater and you can't even order online, so i think it's getting scrapped altogether.

It's showing in Brisbane at my local cinema Wednesday this coming week.

I'll be there, as close to GNR as I can get at present...

Cancelled in Poland. They're saying shows in theathers will be cancelled worldwide. Hm...

[gnrjanus]

it's cancelled world wide by management. due to poor sales is been suggested.
Well now they can give it away as a free download to heal some open wounds.

Whilst I get the reason for wanting to do this, its total successful period for this type of thing was dependent on being a mainstream act at somewhere at the top of the charts.  Sadly, these days when selling out shows in minutes rather than days (or weeks even) has passed.  Would Lady Gaga sell out a show like this? Well she's more currently fashionable to those with a disposable income. 

Until GnR start releasing music on a regular basis that gets airtime, any ambitions for these types of ventures will always be for a niche audience.

I'm being a messenger so don't shoot me, would I go see, yes if it was local, and thats the problem, its at a few select spots. Now release it as a DVD and it becomes as local as anybody could wish for.... 

[Nightrained]

fuck sake, was looking forward to this. Do you think they will pull the plug the dvd/blu ray as well?

Does anyone have any concrete info about the UK showings?, I was planning on going to Birmingham and noticed that it's dissapeared off the tickets page. I actually phoned showcase today because I had a question about my printed tickets, and they never mentioned anything regarding cancellations.

Thereis no Blu Ray/DVD release to cancel. I'm not sure this thing has had anything to do with GN'R from the start. There is no mention of it on their website or official twitter/facebook.

well here in finland yesterday there was about 30 tickets sold for the gnr film after two weeks.
but, the colplay film sold over 300 tickets in 24 hours.
also the led zeppelin film sold about 300 tickets pretty quickly

Coldplay now thats depressing, but the points been highlighted by rebelhipi as intended. Sadly...

I had a feeling that when this was only available in Showcase cinemas, that they weren't expecting to be doing big numbers, but wasn't expecting a cancellation. The problem is simply that it would sell more, if people knew about it by reading the newspaper, magazine, watching TV, listening to the radio, not just by visiting a fanboard.

If it wasn't for my dedication to the online world of GN'R, I don't think I would of known about this showing to be honest. It's all about promotion, and it's something that hasn't been there for GN'R, for whatever reason, but it's a shame as I was really looking forward to this. I even booked a few days off work so I could chill out and enjoy it with a few beers etc...

I still need to wait until the next few days I suppose to be sure, as it's not official yet on the Showcase website.

UPDATE (posted yesterday, a few status's down)

"We?re sorry to let you know that ?Guns N? Roses Live at London o2? has been postponed by the band?s management. If you?ve pre-booked your tickets you can get a refund by going into your chosen Showcase..."

All of the UK fans, we have confirmation right here that the UK screening has been postponed by management. You can only get a refund if you go into the Showcase cinema itself, which kind of sucks as they are all in the middle of knowhere in the UK.

Thanks for letting me know. Not very impressed. 

[rebelhipi]

i imagine beta knows more about some reasons behind this.

[wadey]

Are showcase emailing people regarding cancellation? If you can only get a refund by visiting the cinema in person then that fucking sucks big time!!!!. For me its only 10mins away so no big deal really but why Cant we get a refund online when we all booked online for fucks sake ?!?!?!?!

It seems to be still on in France: http://kinepolis.fr/movies/concert-guns-n-roses (12.06)

I havent received an email yet - fuck knows how they were intending to inform people. Not everyone sits glued to fb all day. Sloppy.

[One.In.A.Million]

It is very sloppy, I haven't known customer service like it. No email has been sent out to anyone informing them about this, only on their FB page, so some might still even turn up. I'm about to phone the cinema directly so I'll let everyone know what they say...
