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

[Giantrobott]

So I got a ticket on Stubhub; I got this particular ticket because it was supposedly available for download today (some of the others said "by" April 3rd). Anyway, I go to download my ticket today (rather excitedly, I must say) and now it says it won't be available until March 15th. I never dealt with Stubhub before, but I thought that was pretty shitty. The woman there assured me I have nothing to worry about, go ahead and make all my travel plans awhile. Anybody here ever get screwed by Stubhub?

Electronic Ticket's aren't being issued to people until at least March 11, it said after buying them.

I was just on a chat with Stubhub. She said if the seller backs out, they would either find me a comparable (or better) ticket, or give me a full refund. Same deal if the ticket isnt valid for some reason at the door; they can get me an electronic ticket or have one brought over from their Vegas office. I feel a little better. Time to start pricing plane tickets!

Ahh...  That makes sense. I wish they wouldnt have put today's date. I was excited to hold it in my hand (although I much prefer a "real" ticket)

Yeah for sure! I haven't collected tickets in a long time. Found my old ticket stash a while back, great memories!

[inlikeflynn420]

I know, right? I found a stash in an old photo box (remember physical photos?!?) from '93-'94, some shows I forgot about. Brought back some good memories. Not quite the same saving a piece of paper. Oh well, I'm sure this show will provide some awesome memories!!! Looking forward to meeting up with some of you in Vegas! I think I speak for everyone here when I say these shows can't come soon enough!

I've gotten used to the electronic tickets but I still prefer going to the ticket outlets and getting the actual tickets for the shows.

me too!

[FootSoldier]

I've used StubHub before for some pricey tickets. I didn't have any problems, I just made sure to turn up early in case there were any issues.

That feeling of accomplishment just made the show that more bad ass. \m/

I heard many conspiracy theories that the bands and promoters are often the scalpers, holding back the release of tickets to the public while they guage demand. If public demand is high during the initial on-sale, magically a volume of tickets slide over to secondary sites at inflated values. Anybody buy into that theory?

Well. I know for a fact that for Michael Jackson's O2 shows in London AEG themselves sold tickets on the secondary market/reseller site Viagogo for inflated prices. I would definitely not be surprised if they would try to pull something off like this too. But then again, for MJ, officially the highest ticket category did cost only 75 GBP. Here the tickets are expensive from the get go.

I don't think any version of Guns N Roses would ever do that to fans.

I can not speak for other bands.

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

Well. It's not really the band's decision how the promoter sells the tickets. They get a set fee per show. How that fee comes together and is generated is the promoter's problem. And obviously the band in this case don't give a shit, as shown in the outrageous ticket prices. They are not committed to keep it fair and affordable for fans.

So, what songs ? that they'll realistically play ? will be first time performed by Slash since 1993?

Estranged is one I guess.

One of the coolest things about the first show will be the set list... it will be a complete surprise... well everything will be if they don't do any press!

Will there be a CD song? Will there be a song from back in the day that Axl hasn;t played in forever (like Pretty Tied Up...would be sick). Maybe something from Slash's catalogue... even if its just a solo or something... will Izzy or Steven be there...can't wait!

I still just can't believe this has happened...it's heavy for me.

Slash has played a lot of GNR songs with the conspirators the last few years... but Estranged is not one of them.

Off the top of my head I know he's done most of Appetite, Civil War and YCBM.

So let's see...

Estranged
November Rain? (excluding Super Bowl performance)
Yesterdays
14 Years
Don't Cry
KOHD?



From Lies, without going back checking set-lists, I assume Slash has done Patience and Used To Love Her.

Also have to consider both the makeup of the band he plays with and the fact that Slash has mentioned before about a song being "a little too Axl"

Oh yeah...for sure. Estranged and NR definitely fall in to that category.

Now that I think about it the Conspirators did a really good job with Double talkin Jive too.

[D-GenerationX]

Does Slash do WTTJ without Axl?

[zombux]

Does Slash do WTTJ without Axl?

yes, frequently.

[JAEBALL]

Does Slash do WTTJ without Axl?

Yeah a few times I think... Myles doesn't sing it tho... I think its Todd Kerns, the bass player who sings Jungle... he DOESN'T do a great job at it lol

There is a YOU TUBE of one performance of it somewhere in South America... the crowd went ape shit.
