[Satapher]

AMAZING NEWS!!!

[Thorned Rose]

Man... if steven and izzy get up there tonight....

Either way this is going to be just insane...but oh lord.

I am staying home in front of the computer like such a geek tonight.

I don't plan on sleeping much tonight.....

Me either!!!! I'll be up FOR SURE through the show. I guess we'll updates somehow?

Phones are a no no, but something will happen right?

[sofine11]

Just too much awesome. 

[Zak Alexander]

I still think gunsnrose.com should let us buy the show to watch on stream like they did in 2011 or 2012 can't remember now but that was so good. Can you imagine us all watching that live... Be like rock in rio all over again except 10000x better!!!

[gcluskey]

I am buzzing with excitement and I'm not even gonna be there! This is amazing. Can't believe it's actually happening. Woohoo!!!!

[tim_m]

If the tour is announced today i would expect the public sale next weekend. I can't see them doing it tomorrow. Gotta have time for nightrain members to get pre sale tickets etc.

The Live Nation posters outside Tower says "Get tickets today!"

That wouldn't be fair to nightrain members. There's always a pre sale date for concerts and on sale days are 99.0% of the time Saturdays.  There has to be a little bit of time before a public sale.

Friendly advice for anyone in LA.  Load the fuck up on any and all merch you can get your hands on and bring it to Vegas with you if you are going.

You'll make a killing.

I know I, myself would pay an obscene amount for one of the tee's or long sleeve's who's pics were leaked.

Please, for all of us going to Vegas that would kill for one, make money off of us and LOAD UP!!!

Given the locale..they could just be referring to the tix you can get AT TOWER. We'll see.

Live Nation isn't mentioned on the poster for tonight's show though.

[Sillything]

Have a good time evereyone`s who is going! Setlist! Some Pictures?? Official?? Please!!!!!

I'm sure there's a limit on this. Plus I hate people that try to capitalize on people's love of things.

I love the bracelet thing. if its broken... the person doesn't get in I bet. People would try to cheesily resale these for 100x face value.

Very smart move. 10 bucks a ticket for fans that want to see it. Good stuff.

Sucks for the scalpers. Love it

[Gman84]

To be one of the lucky people to be able to witness this tonight will be amazing, anyone who is lucky enough to be going - enjoy, you're witnessing history some of us never thought could happen.

I hope the AFD 5 do play together but that would be just the icing on the cake.  I know no cameras are allowed but I hope some footage is released by the band at some point and we get some pics.

[CheapJon]

June 6th. 1985. First GNR show with the AFD line up at The Troubadour.

Troubadour April 1st 2016.....  

[RnT]

They could work putting some live cam to this whole thing and I?m sure GNR will be blowing twitter, instagram and FB all around the world

YES!!!! i can't remember the name of that company... but i paid to watch the stream too! that was awesome! i would love so much for them to do that again!!! or for Vegas! i would love to be there. 8th is my birthday! but watching it live would be killer!

Man, fuck that.  If people are willing to wait on line and buy shit that I otherwise would have no ability to get my hands on and bring it to Vegas with them I will gladly make it worth their while.

It's just supply and demand.  My supply here in NYC is low, and my demand is great.  I just want one.  The long sleeve tee is ssssssssscik.

[Agno]

I need a teleport now!

[TVC15]

No Los Angeles Nightrain member opportunities?

 

[Thorned Rose]

With a 500ish venue, I'm sure security will be tight, and they'll have spotters. It would be possible to get something on a phone, but it will be difficult. I would just enough the show, and go for a pic or 2 if people are taking phones and stuff.

It'll be tough, I agree.

Honestly, I'll be satisfied just seeing the setlist, so I can know what to expect.

Yeah for me, the most curious things are... member playing tonight... and setlist...

I expect it to be AFD 5, and AFD in it's complete form or close (10 songs at least) and 3-4 UYI songs possibly. Maybe a new song? I doubt it.

I don't think this will be a full blown 20+ song set. I hope it is though.

Thought I'd dig this up from earlier... really hoping for AFD 5 as I said earlier!!! would be epic!

Live Nation isn't mentioned on the poster for tonight's show though.

But:

1) Tickets are on sale at Tower.
2) Those posters are only up at Tower.
3) They might not be directly sponsoring it, but maybe they loaned "pre-printed" posters, earmarked for the tour, just to "decorate" the place.
4) If you check the tour section, TECHNICALLY they do have tickets up for sale (I mean..if you want to go to Mexico City). And link to an attempt to buy tickets for the current dates up (even if most are sold out).
5) There IS an announcement up at gunsnroses.com, even if you can't buy tickets there, yet

I'd be SHOCKED if they announced the full tour AND put tickets up today. I'd be even MORE shocked if they jumped over the Nightrain presale opporunity.  No...more than shocked.  I'd be flabbergasted.  They know what sells those memberships (that they just put on sale).  Setting a precedent like that would invalidate every bit of that. I honestly give them more credit than that.

I know what it says.  I think they either mean the Tower Records tix sale, the sale for the current shows, or they are just lending place making material that is really earmarked for another purpose, shortly.
