No love for FL? 

That sucks.

[Boromir]

Oh crap...

What does it tell us about the Europe dates?

[tim_m]

No love for San Francisco, Seattle, Atlanta, Tampa, Arlington and Philadelphia. It sucks but i knew these were going to be hard to reschedule. You got other bands fighting for venues, you have the teams who operate these stadiums needing them etc. At this point who even knows if these shows will even happen. We just have no idea what will happen with covid-19. Hopefully we'll have a treatment or vaccine but there's no certainty. I'm sure as things become clearer they'll try to add more or just add another leg to the tour. I'm amazed they were able to reschedule 13 of the 19 honestly.

But no new info about the european dates. Hope we get some updates on them to

Yep still have to see what they can reschedule from that tour too. This has got to be a logistical nightmare with so many vying for venues.

Browsing another GNR forum and they're actually blaming the few shows that were canceled on ticket sales lol. They canceled Seattle, San Francisco, Dallas, Atlanta, Tampa and Philadelphia. They rescheduled smaller markets like Indianapolis, Fargo and Minnesota. You expect someone to believe those were outselling those larger markets?

Yeah, quite possibly. Smaller markets might sell more- especially if the tour hasn't been there as often. The less a band has been to a place or area, the more attractive buying a ticket seems.

There's also less competition from other gigs and events in smaller places for people's time, money and attention.

3 of the 5 though they'd only been to one other time, Tampa not at all. So i don't think it had anything to do with ticket sales.

Funny, cause Duff & Melissa are from Seattle.... T-Mobile park has the Mariners, a lot of other Stadiums have MLB teams too.  I’m excited for Montana & Cali.  GnFnR!

So I got an email like two days ago saying that the Indy show was postponed, and I had 29 days to request a refund, but I just got a new email a few minutes ago with the new date for next year saying that I CAN'T get a refund? Has anyone else had this happen? I was actually planning on doing the refund, since I have no idea if I'll be able to (or want to) go to the show next year...

[rizzo160]

You should be able to get a refund, my cousin is getting one for the MetLife stadium show.  I know they rescheduled for next year but a refund should also be an option.

That's what I was thinking, too, but the email I just got says, "Please note that your event organizer is not allowing refunds at this time," and there's no refund option when I click on the "request refund" link from the email I got on the 28th. I guess I'll have to call Ticketmaster customer service, though I have a feeling they're gonna blame it on the "event organizer." We'll see, I guess.

July 10th, 2021: Milwaukee, WI @ Henry Maier Festival Park (Summerfest)


Summerfest @Summerfest

We are excited to get the live music industry back in action and to welcome fans back, but in order to allow healthcare professionals more time to distribute the vaccine, Summerfest 2021 will be held September 2-4, 9-11 & 16-18. Save those dates, and we'll see you in September!


No information on whether or not GN'R and other acts will be scheduled for the new dates yet.

Governor Murphy  in NJ announced today that outdoor venues can have 30% capacity now. I'm wondering if there now might be some chance of GNR at least playing at MetLife Stadium.

Can you even make money under that scenario?  This is still a business.

[D-GenerationX]

And 30% capacity includes all building staff and band crew.

On March 1, Governor Murphy announced 15% capacity for outdoor venues. It's now March 30th and he increased it to 30%. Let see what happens before jumping to conclusions.

You have to look at every city and venue for a tour. They aren’t all going to open up at the same speeds. So you have to look at whether or not you can make money at each individual show, and also across the tour.

I still don’t t think anything about 2021 is promising.

Not that it relates to the GN'R tour directly, but the Bonnaroo festival announced their 2021 line up and put tickets on sale yesterday. That festival takes place in September.
