2021 US Summer Tour (was: 2021 North America Stadium Tour)

[GNR4L]

I got a pit ticket for the Seattle show, with the Citi presale.

My cousin got our tickets to the MetLife show on July 18.  Section 134, can't wait.  Is anyone else going to this show?

I wasn't really expecting this stadium tour in the US, to be honest.

We'll have to wait and see, but there's no way Live Nation would book stadium tour to play the same songs. Too risky.

Guns couldn't even sell out 20,000 seaters last year in the US. Now we are talking 60,000 tickets per show...this is a similar stadium tour as in 2016 when we had the reunion hype. 4 years later, there's no way promoters will go down the same road without something else to get people excited about.

I guess we will see in a few days when tickets go on sale, but I don't think we are going to see many sell-out shows unless they have an ace up their sleeve.

I've been a fan since 1989, and I keep saying the same thing; 2020 could very well be the new 1991. Back in 91, they started touring early (Rock in Rio in Feb) and played a few warm-up shows in late spring before kicking off a full US summer tour where they played half a dozen songs from the Illusions (which they will be released a few months later).

I have a feeling 2020 is going to be similar. We already had one show, now they are heading to South America in March, then to Europe in May and US in July.

Maybe we get a few new tracks in South America or maybe in Europe. By the time they come around to the US, I'm sure we are going to have 3-4 new songs added to the setlist (talking about unreleased material here). When September comes around, we will get a new album.

Why bother doing this shit all over again? Do you think Slash and Duff would go down the same road again 4 years later? NITL is over, there are no more markets to play, they played everywhere, it's time to do something new.

I'm 100% sure we will hear new music played this year which will lead us to an album release by early fall.

[rizzo160]

Your timeline seems to make sense, new music by the fall is possible.

is the Citi pre-sale for all venues??

[tim_m]

Also, let's not forget Hard School was on the setlist as an alternative. Also, remember that now deleted Instagram post by Duff's wife? Didn't it mention March 27th specifically? We now know that has nothing to do with the tour because it's been announced.

Im a 3rd Shifter.. Set my alarm to go off just before 12pm... scoooped up 5 tickets for 80 a piece after fees with my citibank card.(Detroit show).. then went right back to bed!!  I had  already booked my hotel yesterday!.. Im pumped its a weekend show and everything

As far as I can tell, yes.

I don’t recall a specific date but there was a shamrock emoji, which would be the 17th.

Nah, that was a reference to Duff.

Looked at the post, she posted these emoji's: an axe, a rose, a tophat and a shamrock.

The Citi presale for Arlington has pit for 250.  Much better than when I looked yesterday before the presale was 500 and 1000 dollar options.  The crazy thing is second row seats are 700.  Yea it’s a vip package with not many perks.  Pit is much better in my opinion especially for 250. Little on second note.  I feel that Live Nation has been messing around with ticket prices.  Especially the last year or so on shows they promote not just  Venue and ticketing services.

Pumpkins one of my favorite bands. I saw them several years ago.

Too bad none of the shows they are listed for are an option.

Good eye, I didn’t recall all of them so I missed the pattern.

Though I’m not demanding new music, I do agree with the sentiment that tickets would go faster if they had an album behind them to tour on. I’ve been watching philly tickets all day and I can still get my pick of anywhere in the arena.

[rizzo160]

It keeps getting better, Smashing Pumpkins opening for GNR, two of my favorite bands.

Just got 2 Pit tickets to Philly using Live Nation Presale Password SOLO.

[draguns]

I'll be at the MetLife Stadium show on July 18th. Section 227 Row 8. I usually get this area for Giants tickets. I can't wait!!!

[faldor]

Does anyone know the prices of tickets at MetLife stadium?

Pit about 250
Side stage lower level 250
Rest of lower level between 100 and 150
Mid level 100
Upper level between 50 and 100

If you're looking for lower level tix in the 150 range...I'd suggest anything you can find in Section 115C and lower.  Better seats (padded), access to the coaches club (private bathrooms and concession/food areas), and a nice little side windowed area that will get you pretty close to the stage connected to the coaches club.

It’s been awhile since I bought tickets through Ticketmaster but I’m seeing seats for way more ($400+ in 137, 113, 114) than those prices. Are those resale, people just jacking up prices? I’m fine with paying $150-$200 for decent seats but not double that amount.

Yeah same here - was just looking at Metlife and it's pretty rough
Nosebleeds are in the $150 range - figure $175 after all of the fees and stuff - but there doesn't seem to be consecutive tickets in all available areas

Bad news is to take a small group to the show is gonna bang you for a grand at least after everything
Good news is - it does appear these stadiums will not have much trouble selling out
