GN'R to play shows in Florida in October

[EFISH]

a place in Tampa, and the Sound Advice Amplitheatre in West Palm Beach. i think they might play there the day after.. is my guess

[Charity Case]

Thanks. ?Looks like they replaced the West Palm Beach one with this one on Oct. 24th. ?I hope they come closer because a 4 hour drive doesn't sound too fun.

[ppbebe]

I dont think Axl said "around" in the interview Im pretty sure he said OCt 24th.

I think he did say "around 24th" in that rush interview.

download "DING" from southwest.com and fly there...Southwest has good prices


my guess in tampa will be the ford ampitheatre.

whya re they playing sunrise, this is kind of unusual for a Forida show, right? There are a lot of other more popular places that have similar-sized venues. (Maybe they were booked.) Thoughts?

[MikeD]

Yeah, it's about 200 miles from Tampa, I think I'm going to have to make the trip.

[brock]

i hope to hell they have a 1)single out and 2)release date set before this show, or the place WILL be half empty...

[EFISH]

Why would ya want seats at a GnR concert?

[EFISH]

i meant "floor tickets" of course i dont want to sit down, i think they put little chairs on the floor anyway but yeah ill be up jammin

Axl said "WE'LL START THE TOUR AROUND OCTOBER 24TH".

And from what I remember some fan went to some Hookers and Blow show and Dizzy told him they're starting on October 21st.

Ofcourse plans always change...

[NickNasty]

hmmm...adding it all together, if this is true and based on what fortus said...it looks like the 'official' tour will start down on the southern east coast and work its way up north thru november....

[Kujo]

This venue is the arena for the Florida Panthers, which I'm a season ticket holder for.

I just called my rep and it is the real deal. Holy shit whoever made this happen thank you, thank you, thank you.

Pre-sale info anyone?

[mikegiuliana]

has anything for october 25th or so been added?

[Kujo]

Didn't think to ask, normally only Springsteen gets away with two night here, fickle people down here. I can ask tomorrow and find out.

ok yeah my bad I relistened to it.

[EFISH]

Barbra Striesand had one night, but she got another one as it sold out in like 2 minutes my mom is going to both of those shows

[Kujo]

Yeah, forgot about her.

I would actually prefer they play at the amphitheater in West Palm. The acoustics in the hockey arena aren't always that great. There have been bands there that if I didn't already know the song that was being played, I'd never have known what the singer was singing.

Hard Rock Live would have been good too, great acoustics but at 5,500 capacity, maybe too small.

[smishkey]

YES!!!!  I"m so psyched about this!!!!  I still have my Tampa and WPB tickets from '02.  We've been waiting a long time down here.  And I'm glad its at the BankAtlantic Center.  Much better sound than Sound Advice, plus air conditioning!!
Pre-sale?
