Guns N' Roses to Perform Private Concert for SiriusXM at the Apollo Theater

[Buckeye]

Great news! I will be in attendance for this show. I'm pretty stoked for this one.

Via the Sirius Contest?

From an "Exclusive Subscriber Opportunity" received via email. Per the email: "There are a limited number* of complimentary tickets for this event and attendees will be chosen based on SPEED OF RESPONSE. This special offer extends only to select subscribers receiving this email."

Congrats!  I must have been a few seconds too slow.  Did you find out you won immediately or a few days later?   Shot in the dark, any interest in selling your plus 1??

Thanks! I found out immediately. It was based on response time. Unfortunately, the plus one is accounted for. The individual has a first right of refusal whenever I get opportunities like this.

Does anyone know what SiriusXM channel number they launch on tomorrow? I was thinking it would be their limited run channel 13, but the schedule seems to indicate that channel will continue to be Carolina Shag Radio through the end of the week.

Channel 41 (I think this used to be Faction?). Starts at 5 PM tonight, I believe!

Thanks, just looked at the online schedule and it looks like Faction switches over tomorrow at 3PM.

What does the channel consist of?

What does the channel consist of?

My understanding is that it will be a week of Guns studio tracks, songs that inspired Guns (think originals from TSI), live tracks, and rare tracks... I am crossing my fingers that they are opening up the possibility of some soundboard audio from NITL (not full shows just selected tracks)... obviously playing a full show like Metallica or Pearl Jam releases devalues the NYC show a bit, but I think some one offs are possible. I wonder if any Axl/DC recording could show up.

Oh wow, that sounds great! Is the schedule published at all? Not living in America, Sirius is a pretty alien concept.

The Guns channel on Dash radio played songs from Aerosmith, AC/DC, The Stones, etc. I'd expect the same here. Interested if they'll play any VR or solo Slash, Duff, etc. They did not do that on Dash, but that was before they made amends. So tomorrow at 3pm? I heard 5. I was hoping to listen on my morning commute to work. I guess I'll have to wait a little longer.

Anyone else on the board score tickets yet? I cannot find another soul with tickets after an extensive social media search. They cannot be THAT limited for subscribers.

I had originally heard 5, but if you look at the online lineup it shows Guns N Roses Radio launching at 3PM... could be that there is a few hours of teaser before the officially go live like The Beatles Channel did a month or so ago.

Only 1,500 capacity don't forget. Halve that (as tickets go out in pairs)- 750 people receiving tickets. I'd say that's pretty limited!

Just looking at photos of the venue, and it's difficult to imagine them doing the full three hour live set for some reason. I associate indoor theatre shows with them doing a more trimmed down set. Not sure why. Anyone else think similar?

I'm going to stick my neck out and say they'll do AFD in full, with a couple of extra songs.

The email I received yesterday states that the time will be 9:00 PM - 12:30 AM approx.

There goes my theory then!

Assume 9 is show start time, and not doors open time? Any mention of a support in the email?

Prucc - any other information of note in the email?

Check-in will begin at 7:00 pm sharp and ends at 8:00 pm. No one can check in after 8:00 pm. Everyone is to be seated in the theater no later than 8:30 pm because this event will be broadcast LIVE on SiriusXM.

OK. Sounds like no support then. Is it all seated? That's interesting. Do you know where you're sitting?

Based on the emails, it seems to be all seated tickets.

They also stated that all seating has been pre-assigned, but exact seating locations will not be available until check-in.
