Ticket Sales for Not In This Lifetime... Tour

[tim_m]

I've heard South America in November, Australia in January, Japan in February and then Europe later next year. Most likely summer.

Makes sense.

Could this be the year they finally do the Super Bowl?

Only if the Steelers are playing in it.

It would be a popular decision among the people for sure. The people deciding on that seem to have a problem with music that's harder than Springsteen though.

I think GN'R kinda deserves it in that their music has been used so much during games throughout the years.

In terms of booking an act that's in the limelight, GN'R should be a front runner for next years SB for sure.

I hope it happens just so we can avoid the annual thread about them being the choice lol

Throw in a VMA performance as well ? another annual thread

Hahahaha.  Why I asked it.  Just strikes me as a "now or never" thing. 

No one ever figured they'd get back together, but they did.  They will be in the midst of a tour, so they will be in performing shape.

And this might be the only shot they have, hence the "now or never" mindset.  Who knows if this tour might be the last call?

I've thought about it, and I don't think so. Axl seems keen on continue performing as he expressed interest in continuing with AC/DC (presumably to record and tour in the future), I would think he definitely has the same desire with his own band.

I'm hoping for a cycle of a GNR tour every few years.

And AC/DC can serve as Axl's Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators in between.

I agree.

Just hopefully the incentive is there for both sides of the super powers to make it work for a long time. There are no super stadium runs and less label support without it.

Even if Slash still wants to keep SMKC alive, I can't really see him walking away from an active GN'R at this point. He always stayed popular through the years, but now he's back on the top of the world. As long as the friendship with Axl is repaired (and stays repaired), I don't think those two will leave each other again.

They may not live each other and tour from time to time, I think thats pretty reasonable, but the big question is: do they have any plans or desire to record another album together again?

Still waiting for that interview where the big question pops up...

tix in Philly continue to sell. slowly, but steadily.

looking at the map, I'm guessing about 3,500 or so tix are left (out of about 50,000). back in april there were probably around 7,500 tix available, maybe more when 2 whole first level sections appeared a couple weeks after they went on sale.

those 2 new sections are almost entirely sold out, and many seats upstairs sold as well.

It will essentially feel like a sell-out at this point, but I'd love to see them get there officially. it's gonna be close.

Yet there is still that one lower section off to the side that are all still blue.  That section will look weird that night.

agreed. I'm guessing they will drop the prices in that section big time which will move some of them, and give a bunch away through radio stations. it would look REALLY strange if that whole section stays open.

D - we should plan to meet up for a beer before the show. I'm planning to be in the parking lot around 2PM.

I don't know about this show due to its popularity and fear of selling out, but I recall when I worked at a concert venue a lot of people would buy tickets at the venue before the show. My guess is at the very least this show will sellout by showtime.

Just for fun, I've tried to put things into perspective and made a list of how the tour has been selling, imagining they've played arenas instead of stadiums. This is amount of tickets sold put roughly in terms of arena capacities.
