Ticket Sales for Not In This Lifetime... Tour

[johnreed3344]

^If that't the case, I guess Slash traded an earlier start time for playing some songs from Chinese Democracy! 
9-9:30 is when Slash starts his shows, usually closer to 9. 

I agree.  That's a good trade and one I make.

But let's not start sucking each other's dicks just yet.  Let's see what happens in Detroit on 6/23.

I guess that would be only for second shows, right?  No LA show magically appearing on the itinerary? *fingersandtoescrossed*

Dodger Stadium. Bank on it. Probably 2 shows.  This came from basically the most reliable source there is....

So, you heard this from the band themselves?

A friend of a friend who is good friends with a member of the band. Let's just say they've done animated projects together 
 

your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate.

Thanks Dark Helmet 

Dude that's how your post looks like

I should have also mentioned the "friend of a friend" is also an acquaintance, so it wasn't some character that may or may not be fictional.  But it turns out this guy was right on as Dodger Stadium was just added for August 18th.  Once that sells out, I'm sure a 2nd show will be added on the 19th or 20th.

Ok but next time come with something like "people in the know told me..." It sounds better than a friend of a friend

    Or I will just say Slash's and my mutual friend told me....

I'm willing to bet going on later was a Slash condition. It is well known he didn't like going on so late in the old days.

Dallas is getting closer to sold out. Still can get the same in section H and C114, but in the 200s the best you can now get multiples together is 222 and 225. You can still get the same in 444 and 419.

[gnrrock]

According to the map on Ticketmaster the LA show at Dodgers stadium is almost sold out.

They are doing a limited presale right now. The public sale is not till this Friday.

Pretty amazing, because that place is enormous.

Great news.

Yep the fact that the majority of what you can get now is way in the back or in the corner in the opposite end zone is a good sign. FYI i am doing this looking for 3 tickets together. One oddity, if you search for 3 on the floor you get H row 34. If you look for 2 you get row 38. If you want 2 you can get C115  Also if you just want 2 the best it bring up in the 400s is 444. In the 200s if you search for 2 you can get 221 and 222. At this point i think it is safe to say the floor is mostly sold out. As are most of the 100s and 200s except way in the back. The 300s have been gone for awhile and you can only get single tickets anywhere on that level. The 400s 444 or one single section on the side 419 where you can get 3.

Wow! Can't ask for a better write-up than that.

Finally, Axl gets the recognition he deserves. Seems like Billboard has a lot of faith in the whole band.

Live Nation reps saying the sales are reaching 1 million. If we count 50,000 per stadium, up until today (before the 4 new shows) that would count up to 1 million actually.

So basically they are saying every show is getting close to a complete sell out.

Well, we know some of the stadiums still have a number of seats left, by looking at the interactive maps.

50,000 capacity was just a number I threw out there. Maybe it's more?

Well if it is close to 1 million, i would say your estimate is pretty accurate. Obviously some are completely sold out which means more then 50,000.  I could see most shows having sold at least 40,000 at this point though.

For the 1 million tickets sold statement to be accurate, that means 50,000 tickets sold on average per stadium. Combined with the fact that we know not nearly all are sold out, I figure the capacity average has to be higher than 50K.

According to the map on Ticketmaster the LA show at Dodgers stadium is almost sold out.

I'm disappointed.

Strange. Since the presale started, only seats in back of Dodger Stadium have been available. I had to pay for an extra Nightrain membership to gain access and hope they release closer seats.

Yep i think average capacity for these stadiums for a concert is 65,000-68,000 give or take. Some obviously could be more like AT&T stadium which is just massive. If there's some shows with 10,000 empty seats that wouldn't be bad at all. That would mean its almost 3/4 sold. I think the band and the promoters would be thrilled with that sort of turn out. Plus the newly announced shows, i would be shocked if they don't sell out as well given the cities they are in.

Just a friendly warning, in case you registered a new Nightrain membership in the same name as the previous one, Ticketmaster says your membership can be terminated.
