Full US tour announced... - summer 2016

[Bodhi]

Looking at the tour on a whole, there are many instances where shows are 4 days or so apart, where a few are only 2 days apart, wonder if that indicates that some areas might have another date added after the initial sale?

yeah I noticed that with the New York Date.  That is on the July 23, and the show before it is the 19th and after it is the 27th.  That is a lot of potential time for a second NY date.

Oh, agreed. But whether younger people can afford those prices? I'm not sure. We'll see. I've never seen them tour together!

Maybe not everybody, but I didn't mean the majority of the crowd will be younger people.
It'll definitely be a mix.

But if the venues were smaller, then prices would possibly be even higher. Also, you can't really tell people this is a historical tour if you play the same places the other tours are doing. Stadiums are kinda exclusive.
It's part of the magic.

Exactly there will be many fans in their mid 30's all the way up that have being fans of guns since they they were first around.  I would also say the prices are pretty much in line with what people are paying for any major stadium show and in some cases hundreds of dollars less for prime seats. 

I hope the tour does really well and a 2nd leg gets added but hard to say.

Overall i think it is quite affordable. At the Dallas show, you can get 400s for 44.50 and 59.50 and 300s for 79.50 and 99.50. Obviously not great seats but that's the nature of a stadium show anyway. The vast majority of the seats are far away.

Are you going to be at all of the Stadium shows?

[Continental_Drift]

Going to the Orlando show! Last show I saw was an intimate HOB Orlando show during the UCAP Tour (best show of my life). Next one will be in the Citrus Bowl with thousands upon thousands!!! Crazy!!!

One of the perks legacy type bands has are older fans with more money.

I realize prices have inflated for everything over the past 25 years.  But I would find it hard to believe their fans at the time could have afforded whatever price the $250 would be in 1991 prices.

Radio promo in full effect here in Philadelphia. Concert ticket giveaways through the weekend anytime GN'R is played.

Promo mentioned, "Axl, Slash, and Duff McKagan on stage together".

Awesome. Reminded me of that 2002 NA Tour radio promo with snippets from Chinese, Madagascar and The Blues. This one is the TV spot, with only Chinese and Madagascar:

Nice! I'll be buying a shirt to wear over my Nightrain tshirt.

Or I might just wear my UYI tshirt. I don't know.

Very cool.
