Ticket Sales for Not In This Lifetime... Tour

[tim_m]

Dallas is 8 pm. I wouldn't expect them to go on any later then 10 pm like they did in 2011 when they were here.

If there is still daylight out.  I doubt they will be on stage.   

Why not? They've gone on when it was light out still before. Remember Paris 92? It was still sunny out. Besides it won't be light out still in August in Dallas. Sunset is before 8:30 by that time of year. So it'll be completely dark by 9 pm.

Paris was a ppv, with ppv rules and ppv time

They will not be playing during daylight during this tour.....

But if they do, cool

Not sure you can really say that. It didn't air live at least not in the states. I don't know if it was shown in Paris on tv live or not but in the states it was definitely pre recorded.

Awesome!!  I'll be there!!!

Yeah I posted this in the other thread. Toronto looks to be as well - only reseller tickets are available, nothing from ticketmaster.

[GnR-NOW]

I wonder if they'll add a second show. I checked the seats for Boston all of the sections aside from floor seating are sold out

[SkeletorSerpent]

No sweat! Remember-- these are "stadiums"-- we are talking 40,000 - 60,000 seats! Very few acts can pull off stadium tours anymore.  Coldplay hasn't sold nearly as much as GNR at Soldier Field, and they have been on sale longer. Coldplay has been the biggest band in the world in its past, and is the closest thing to U2. Very few names in the music industry can pull off stadium tours, and most rock bands can't do it anymore. Even Kiss is going on tour and doing arenas rather than Stadiums. Today, stadiums can pretty much only be filled by Byonce, Taylor Swift, Rolling Stones, and U2 . .. .  Kenny Chesney maybe 5 - 10 years ago. GNR is in good shape. A band that is touring off of legacy alone and hasn't released a new album since 08, and before that 93. They still have the name power to sell a lot of tickets! Once we get a solid opening act, perhaps a new radio single, a Rolling Stone cover, and more radio stations pushing sales, they will sell out more stadiums and fill up the others.
But, many of them are selling very well, e..g Detroit, Chicago, Toronto, D.C.,
Metallica doesn't even sell out stadiums

This can't be compared to "half full arenas" since arenas hold 10,000 - 20,000. All the stadiums shows have sold well over 20,000 tickets, so if this were an "arena" tour, which is typical of almost all rock bands these days, then it would have "sold out" at all shows within hours.

A new album sure would help...

Just did some searching for Dallas. For the floor seats the best you can get is H still and you can get quite a few together. For 100 and 200 level you can get 4 together in C233. For 99.50 you can get 4 together in 220. For 79.50 you are shit out of luck if you want more then a single ticket. That whole level is mostly sold out. You can't get two together period. For 44.40 the best you can do for 4 tickets is 443. FYI most of those sections that are the best available still are in the back. The C233 are the best available that aren't on the floor. The C233 is on the side but towards the back. So i'd say Dallas is selling quite well as well.

[GnR-NOW]

Boston is all but sold out, back floor seats is all that's available.

[SkeletorSerpent]

Yes, a new single would definitely help!
They should follow their "tried and true" formula from the past; it would be certain to work- release a fast paced rocker, then an amazing classic rock cover with the unrivaled GNR stamp on it (e.g. Mother by Pink Floyd, Only Women Bleed by Alice Cooper, Sailing by Rod Stewart, Wild Horses by Stones, Layla, Wish You Were Here), and a beautiful, epic ballad. This is a winning formula that is failure proof. They would quickly remind the world why they are the best band in the world.


Right now, the current trend in modern rock is to produce epic classic rock covers in the same vein as GNR. For example, Disturbed covered "Sound of Silence," a very GNResque move. Shinedown covered "Simple Man" another very GNReque move. In addition, Five Finger Death Punch covered "House of the Rising Sun" Again, another very GNResque move.
Therefore, it would make a lot of sense for GNR to release one of their epic, bad ass covers with their signature stamp.

A quick google search tells me that MetLife capacity can vary a lot depending on the layout I guess... Bon Jovi always sells out in this venue with an average og 90k seats...however only 50k seats were available for ACDC last year for instance. Does anyone know the attendance capacity for GNR?

When did Bon Jovi play there as opposed to AC/DC?  MetLife Stadium is an entirely different building/stadium than Giants Stadium was so the difference can be the actual structure's configuration along with the field seating layout.

The last time Bon Jovi played there (2013) the capacity was 48,000, not 90,000.

The page forgot to mention that 90k was the sum of two dates...my bad    You are right...BJ put 45k in 2013 in two nights though!

One direction put 70k there...

The biggest difference in seating capacity when it comes to stage layout is often end-stage concert vs. center stage.

A concert like U2 on the 360 tour, they put the stage in the middle of the field and had the audience surround them with all seats in the stadium filled up plus the people close to the stage on the field.

End-stage for a particular venue is usually the same capacity for all artists give and take some.

For MetLife I think we can assume somewhere around 50,000 for GN'R.

Wasn't sure where to post this but since it does have something to do with tickets/passes and they do mention Axl n' Slash, I'm putting it here. 

COACHELLA
RESELL OUR BACKSTAGE PASSES
... GET SUED!

http://www.tmz.com/2016/04/13/coachella-lawsuit-backstage-passes/

Coachella is gunning for anyone who bought a VIP pass to rub elbows with the likes of Axl Rose or Slash ... because it might be illegal and the cause of a lawsuit.
Goldenvoice, the company that puts on the fest, filed a lawsuit Wednesday against events company Particle, and its owner Denise Kozlowski, for deceiving people it was authorized to peddle a package including a VIP, guest, or artist pass.
Coachella says it's the only one who can sell tickets for the fest -- and it can't have third parties scalping those tickets because it creates a huge safety risk for performers.
They're suing to shut down Particle's sale of Coachella passes, and for any profits it's already made from the ticket packages.

Just got tickets for DC; I was surprised pretty much all of the upper sections and floor were sold out. I got the $150 tickets and most of them were gone too. Looks about the same in Philly. This is awesome! It's like the old days! I feel young again!
