Guns N' Roses playing Las Vegas April 8th and 9th!!!! / Fan meeting at NYNY 4/7

[Lotgrinder]

I would guess bands that make "music" would never do such a thing, but bands who produce a "product" might.

The "reunion" isn't happening just for the music. People don't just bury the hatchet if there is no money involved. Duff's and Slash's return reinforces the "product".

Guns N Roses has made and always will make music.

The simple fact that a boat load of money probably influences a reunion does not all of a sudden classify all the great music they made as a "product."

There is no denying your first point - I am with you 110%. On the second, I am not aware of any "product" without a price tag associated with it. The fact that the topic in question has an inflated price tag confirms my point. Just sayin'.

Well, when you reach mega band status off the great music you made this is the kind of stuff that happens.

I am happy Axl, Slash, and Duff agreed to do these shows and would be even more happy if Izzy and Steven were included because it is of my belief that enough money is going to be made off these shows where every original member of Guns N Roses would be set for life as far as finances goes.

I do not fault any of the band members for wanting to make money.

[GnR-NOW]

The only reason anyone works in the world is for money, so let's not make it out to be more than it is. They're getting paid, and we're getting to see our favorite band. Simple as that.

Who would? All the power to them!

[Ja5oN]

I don't fault anyone from wanting to make money either.....BUT would have been nice to let people who supported the band in the last couple years give their money first before the scalpers got in and are making even more profit than the band.....just saying.


I could have given the Band $350 for a GA ticket both nights.  $650 to the Band.

Now I am looking at $1000 per night.  $650 to the band and $1350 to the scalper.

And congrats to anyone who got tickets....I'm not bitter about that.



Hopefully now that the Vegas stuff is done, we can get a further announcement with 20+ US dates and 3+ Canadian dates....

[Irishfecker]

I failed miserably in my attempt to get tickets and am currently on wine bottle number two to numb my pain.... Waaaaaaaaa waaaaaaaaa waaaaaaaaa! Feck it anyways!

[Lotgrinder]

I am creating a list of ten people, first come, first serve.

I have two tickets for April 9th show, Section 202, row H, seats 8+9.

$250+ service fees price point.

I will be selling these at FACE value if I am able to score lower bowl or main floor tickets.

So, if interested message me and I will get back to you as soon as I score better tickets and if you do not want the tix, I will move on to next person on list.

It may take ten-twenty days before I find my better tickets, but I DO PROMISE when I do I will sell these extras to a board member at face.

 

[Dead N' Bloated]

Scored tickets to both shows. Not the best tickets, but tickets nonetheless. Stoked!

I am just happy I am getting into the party on the 9th for sure, but will be watching Stub Hub prices like a hawk to try to upgrade my seats when I feel I am not getting raped too badly by a filthy fukking scalper.

I don't think ticket brokers getting into Nightrain was an issue here. The promoter would only allow a small percentage of the tickets get dedicated to a fan club, I think the Citi pre-sale is where the majority of the ticket brokers got their tickets. Ace Ticket in Boston MA used to be a client of mine, they have dozens of people in their office, each with their own dedicated internet line and a range of static IP's so that they can get in line as many times as possible.

That could be the case, yes.

But wasn't there almost 4,000 tickets on StubHub for both shows combined after ONLY the Nightrain pre-sale had been completed? I might be mistaken, though.

[GnR-NOW]

Just saw 199.99 tickets are still available for 4/8 on AXS

[Bodhi]

The AXS method with the waiting room and all that nonsense is  extremely frustrating to say the least.  I was in the waiting room at least a half  hour early and it still let me in 8 minutes after the on sale .  My wife was in the waiting room for like 2 minutes before and got right in.  I however was the first to actually get tickets to come up.  It is all totally random.  I really tried for GA all week  but at the end of the day I was more than happy to get the lower level tickets I got, they are actually really solid seats.  I know the reasons AXS gives for doing it this way, but I would have to think that if ticketmaster were doing it all of us would have gotten in at the very least, and probably better seats.  Ticketmaster has yet to fail me for any other high demand shows.  Now grant it, this is without question the highest demand show i've ever tried to buy a ticket for.

BTW the citi card option was the only way I got tickets today, i struck out completely on the public one.

Checking stub hub for tickets for both nights.

I was in the waiting room from a half hour prior to the tickets going on sale (the earliest possible time to be placed on the waiting room) and still had to wait 12 minutes to take "my turn" then another 20 minutes until I secured tickets. It was a fucking nightmare. I got tickets though. They weren't the tickets I wanted, but I'm just happy I did't miss out.

The waiting room isn't first come, first serve. You get the chance to login anywhere within 30 minutes before the show and after that it's all a gamble, equal chances. You can open up to 3 browsers with one account (something I read later but didn't do). I made two separate accounts with separate emails. Opened chrome and Firefox and with one I was ready as soon as the waiting room opened and the other I guess 10-15 minutes before the sale started.

I didn't even know about that waiting room until I logged in myself 30 minutes before. Anyway, I think I got really lucky because I was able to buy tickets for both shows, in both windows, right at the start.

I'm really happy, can't wait :-)

Yeah you totally lucked out!  Thats awesome.  I really hate the method AXS used, that random nonsense sucks, as it seems a lot of people got locked out of this show.  I prefer ticketmasters method, it goes to who wants it most.  You know who wants it most?  The person that can hit refresh at the exact moment before they go on sale.  I spend my life perfecting that move only to not be able to use at these shows, of all shows!     Once again, all things considered, I'm happy to get in both nights.

The AXS experience was different. Had two windows open. Never got tickets on the AXS link. Was able to get tickets to both shows through Citi link. Tickets aren't exactly what I wanted but I'm happy just to be in the building.

Can't wait! Now for travel arrangements....
