Was there last night - Place completely packed. Not sure if we get the # of ticket sales or not, but there is no way it was not at least 90%, maybe 95% full. Tailgate was a madhouse and ran into many people who said they bought tix the morning of because they were real cheap.

I was surprised at how full it was. I was there Saturday - packed, it might have been 95% of that on Sunday. I too got tickets cheap the day of on Sunday, prompted me to go to the second show.

Was there last night as well.  Lots of people I ran into bought tickets the day before once the prices dropped.  I give GNR management credit, they seem to know how to fill up these shows for the band.

I was in Pit 1, what a friggin blast.  I caught one of Frank's drum sticks at the end of the show.  My friend and I had a great time.

It's good business. The guy who spends $30 on a ticket is probably gonna be more inclined to buy a $40 shirt, or a few beers. People crying about attendance the whole tour have nothing to say about this past weekend. easily 150,000 people over two nights. A lot of people buying merch. This concert is cleaning up.

Is this a thing?  Are people really complaining about attendance?  Holy hell.  This tour could end today and I don't think there is a single person in the industry who wouldn't consider this an enormous success.  I have been going to live shows since I was 13 years old (in 1994) and the attendance at these has been amazing from what I've seen.

Max capacity per night was 55k, if the review from the my post from the 23rd was right.

So, over 2 nights, max 110k...and we know first night was 55k and sold out.

Last nght looked oacked, too. I'm guessing they did over 100k, but just a shade under 110k. Maybe...105?

Thats an astounding number of tickets, either way. I'm guessing 10 million+ in ticket sale revenue in 2 nghts, even with the discounts.

Thats in the holy shit level of impressive.

Yup, in previous show threads, and in a badly written, badly sourced wall street journal article.

I'm just as incredulous people go down that road as you.

With all due respect to some of them, I think most of the fans complaining about attendance or other aspects of the tour are not from the states and might not understand the climate.

Sorry, no respect due to anybody complaining about attendance figures. Unfounded complaints born out of internal misery.

Did he say "that's some badass shit, friend" ?

The joy in Axl's face on this moment is priceless. He really looks like he's having the time of his life this year, both with ACDC and GNR. That reflects on his attitude, his voice and his presence.

I hope this moment never goes away. And that something good comes out of this (a new album  )

I can only hear "That's some badass shit, Frank." It doesn't make sense after a cool 12 string slice by Slash, but that's all I can hear.

I get that feeling too.

This had become a band that couldn't give it away in this country the past few years.  Now they are filling stadiums.

I also don't think non-U.S. people can appreciate the near 180 degree shift in the tone of the reviews and how this band is seen right now.  GNR was, let's face it, pretty much an afterthought anymore, if anyone paid attention at all.

But look at it now.  All these reviews are glowing and there is a real sense the band is back.

[bjd2944]

However many the final numbers are - I was at both shows, and they had an absolute assload of people. Not many acts can fill up a football stadium like that.

The shows were incredible. Yeah, variation in the set would have been nice but I think at this point you more or less know what you're getting. There's obviously some sort of reason behind the songs they are/aren't doing.

Axl hasn't sounded this good since 2006.

Ifffff I Could have made it to night 2, I would have been bummed they didn't swap OTGM for Michelle.... But that's really nitpicking.

We all have our dream perfect set list ... But anybody griping over the set list in 2016 is an asshole plain and simple.

I actually thought he was complimenting Fortus when he said it last night ...not sure now

To previous poster, dead on - Guy was in great mood and engaged the crowd quite a bit all night

Great show
