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

[JAEBALL]

I have the silver VIP fo Friday which allows early check in...

Does anybody know when early check in is?

Either way... I won't go that early... I can't stand around down there for hours upon hours...Even if I was at the very very front ... I'd have to go leave for the bathroom at some point...  

Plus hopefully we are all pre graming somewhere.

I'm staying at the Monte Carlo, and will be checking out The Pub before the show on Friday

That's a cool spot... they brew their own beer there.

I'm not sure if it's still there...but New York New York used to have a Mcfadden's irish bar...really big space right in the middle of the casino... that would be an ideal spot as well.

McFadden's wasn't listed on NY NY website, maybe it was replaced with Nine Fiine Irishmen.

My flight lands around 5 that friday, so I figure get ready for the show, then go eat and drink at The Pub lol

Sweet ! I am stoked for the shows, I hope there is no shows before this. I bought tix to the 5/15 Hammerstein show (through the presale) and a few days later they announced 5/12 and 5/14 ..... But know there's no setlist to look at before the show lol !!

The shows are pretty much sold out.

So you would have to use a secondary marketplace like www.stubhub.com for example.

I heard that AXS is shipping the tickets are March. It doesn't say that on my confirmation e-mails, but has anyone heard the same thing?

I believe they are getting emailed out on March 11 if you chose the ticketless/print at home option.  Not sure about physical tickets, probably around the same time I would think.

I keep looking on vivid seats and stub hub for tix. I am determined to wait until April 2nd if I have to and see what the prices will be then. And if I won't find a good ticket at a decent price, i just won't be there. But I still can't believe there are people going on these sites and paying the current prices for a ticket! If people would just have the patience to wait a few more weeks, prices WILL go down! It's simple supply and demand rule. But no, some people who probably live on minimal wages or very low income, they just feel they have to be at these shows no matter what and pay ridiculous prices. This is plain stupidity! It's not my concern how everybody spends their money, I couldn't give a fuck, but people stupidity always gets me. Because it's their stupidity who keeps prices high! It's a freaking rock concert, no ticket is worth more than $500!!! I know there's tickets for much less in the nosebleed section, I'm talking here strictly about close to the stage lower and GA tickets. Just a matter of taste really, I've never been in the nosebleed section at a concert and won't start now.

So... you do give a fuck?

So... you do give a fuck?

Sort of...I do  . When that gets in my way of getting reasonably priced tickets.

What's the consensus on a good place to stay that's close to the arena?  I'm thinking of staying at the Excalibur.  Google map says it's only a few minutes from the address of the arena.  I ask because I will have my 9 year old son in tow and I'd like to stay close for the late night walk after the show.

[jarmo]

From what I can tell from the map, Excalibur is across the street from the venue.

I believe the arena is between the Las Vegas Freeway and the NY NY parking structure.

Once/if a tour is announced these tickets will probably drop pretty quickly.  I know a few people who live in NY who are still considering buying Vegas tickets on stub hub, but if they announced a New York show tomorrow they wouldn't think about the Vegas thing again.  Right now these are the only two Guns N Roses shows on sale, which is also driving the prices up.  I am in the same boat, I am closely monitoring stub hub to get closer tix for the first show on April 8th, I'm happy with where I'm at but I still want to try to score GA or one of those side sections for the first night at least as the show gets closer.

Haha, good luck to you Bodhi! Happy to see I'm not the only one waiting out there and monitoring stubhub. I live in NC, for sure as soon as something gets announced for the East Coast, I'll lose interest in Vegas in a heartbeat and buy tickets to multiple shows that are within driving distance.

NY Area show will happen but that didn't stop this guy  its only money! as most of my generation said too too tooooo many times YOLO ha!

Yeah I've seen the band a bunch of times over the years but obviously HAD to be there for this.  I've never been to Vegas, and flying across the country for a couple shows is normal for a lot of people, but it's pretty crazy for me, especially financially!  haha.  I can't wait though.  I couldn't swing it financially last time they played Vegas with wedding planning and what not, and it will still be a little rough, but I'll worry about that later.

I flew out for the first time by myself to Vegas for the Appetite for Democracy shows, was very anxious about it .... For the No Trickery shows, it was just another thing lol ... this time i booked the whole thing from my phone at work, so you'll be fine 

[GnR-NOW]

Do you think they will open up Sections 15 and 16 for sale ?
