Guns N' Roses announce February 2012 tour!

jazjme how did Ticketmaster screw you?  Not sure I caught what you said in this thread.  You didn't hit refresh did you?

No, there was a glitch after he had it in the cart.  TM is famous for that. 

I have never experienced that and I have bought.... wow, tickets for hundreds of shows now that I think about it.

Can you give a more detailed description of the glitch?  I am curious. 

I can't speak personally on HIS experience but I have experienced numerous glitches when trying to get tix for in demand shows on TM.  It just happened to me last week with Roger Waters.  Arbitrarily, while I was in the queue, the whole site crashed out and I just got an error code on my screen and an "apology."  I went in again and it happened again after 10 minutes in the queue.  3rd time and 45 minutes later, I was finally able to get tix.  I guess in his case by the time he went back in they were gone.

The tix on Stub Hub are not TOO bad.  That is the only reason I am considering it, because this is a once in a lifetime show.

Very interesting... I was a victim of the Springsteen scalpers last week, but I have never gotten an error message before.  With Springsteen the screen was telling me 4-minute wait, then it jumped back up to 15 mins, then down to 6 mins, then back up to 9 mins.... it was very strange, but I never got an error message.  That would kill me if I saw that.

Guns N' Roses Announce Six U.S. Tour Dates

Axl Rose and company to revisit NYC venue where they performed their 'Live at the Ritz' concerts 24 years ago.

All that's old is new again. Axl Rose and his revamped Guns N' Roses will revisit their beloved New York when they launch their Northeast tour in February.

In 2011, the band completed a sold-out international tour and will kick off 2012 with a series of intimate shows in the States, starting with New York. Beginning February 10, they will perform a three-show series in the city, the cornerstone of which will be at the club Webster Hall, which was originally called the Ritz. This is where GN'R played one of their most famous concerts, "Live at the Ritz," in 1998*. For their return, the venue will revert to its original name, complete with new signage and marquee, and fans can wax nostalgic about the days when Guns were the biggest band on the planet.

Additional cities include Chicago; Silver Spring, Maryland; and Atlantic City, New Jersey. No word yet if more dates will be announced.

So the Webster is known as "the Ritz" again for one night only? Does it say that on the tickets and stuff?

Don't know about tickets, but yeah, somewhere I read that they are going to put it up on the marquee that night

Sweet, I heard that and wanted to confirm it. I hear the tickets say it also.

Likely not.... whatever the listing on Ticketmaster is will be the listing you see on your ticket.  Ticketmaster says "Webster Hall". 

Agreed.  Although the VIP tix purchased through gunsnroses.com might say the Ritz.  I can confirm that they were different looking than the Ticketmaster tix for the Vegas shows.

[JillJaime]

I opted to print my ticket for Webster Hall.  It's say The Ritz.

[Jbat81]

I dont know if you guys already know... But, I just bought me a tix for Terminal 5. It was like 4 pm ET
I had bought only one tuesday cuz it was "sold out". Hope this helps someone...

[JillJaime]

It also looks like some tickets are still available for Webster / Ritz

Keep trying!  They keep going away then coming back.  Even yesterday that is how I got my (solo) ticket to the Ritz.  I just kept trying.  It was maddening, but I finally got my ticket.  I did the Gold VIP package for Terminal 5.  I didn't have an interest in Roseland because I hate going anywhere Friday nights and I'm not crazy about Roseland.  But I am so cool with the two shows I am going to (and seeing them last November.)

[Barbie567]

I will keep trying - I just hate having to type those stupid Captcha things every time.

[Jbat81]

LOL I get some of the toughest words to type!!! I dont know if they're "L" or "I" or whatever lol

[jazjme]

@jbat81 I put in my payment info, hit continued, and it was processing, and kept processing, then the screen came back and said "sorry couldn't process". It didnt give me an option to try a differnt payment, and then I never was able to get to the buy tix page again. So after 20 mins, I went and got in first time for Terminal 5 , put the same payment info in and it went thru no problem

[jazjme]

Nah, lol, I may get from stub hub, or maybe find someone with an extra, or just go and take my chances, its worked before. BUt yeah , still goin to a show regardless.

[Jbat81]

I went to vegas in December with my cousin. Saw both shows. But i was missing one tix for the 31st. So im looking for a "scalper" and this guy comes out of nowhere and gave me 2 tix for FREE. I gave the 3rd tix to sumone else. So ur right, i should be able to find at the door or around...

[axlrosegnr]

I'm really hoping they made up special T-Shirts for this little run.

[axlpwns]
