  1. I'm just fucking bummed man.. I am a music junkie and this has been my dream for 20 years to see these guys again.. I would kill to be at this show but I just can't justify it.. Sucks.. I had a couple floor seats for $250 before charges during the citi presale.. Tough to swallow but could have justified it. I hit purchase and the f'n site hung... :/

  2. This whole reunion is getting pretty sour... From Pitman to the ticket prices and everything in between.

    To be fair the band doesn't set the ticket prices.

    They could have a say. Kid Rock did some kind of $20 for all seats tour a couple times now along with cheaper beer and tshirts. There were sponsors galore but who cares,it's not like GNR or Kid Rock are some struggling Indie band looking for Hipster credibility.

    And I think Kid Rock took a hit on that. I think Guns are looking for a payout.

    Well fuck.. He was charging $20 for every seat in the house... He also cares about his fans and didn't care. He has done it for a few tours now whether he took a hit or not. I was replying to your statement of the bands don't set the prices anyway. . I am not saying Guns N' Roses charge $20 a head.. But I am sure they could have kept them under $200 if they really wanted to and still made a profit.

    They wouldn't want to develop a reputation here. Let's face it, the reputation of scandalous ticket pricing of the Stones has followed the band around like a sack of shit since 2012.

    Yup, and Guns aren't anywhere close to as popular as the Stones.. Especially this hybrid crap..

  4. We wanted the best.....so we gotta pay for the best. Hope they deliver a couple epic shows in Vegas. For the prices- 25 + songs and hit the stage by 10PM. Which I'm sure part of the whole reunion/contract/agreement included a "don't fuck around and be an hour late" clause.

    I've seen great bands for 25 dollars.

    Same here. I've got 2 concerts next week on Wednesday and Friday. Both of which were $25 or under. Granted, they're both newer artists, but still they'll be both great shows for great prices.

    Kid Rock's last few tours he has made every seat in the house $20.. Even got deals on hot dogs and beer.. Granted he isn't in the same league but even if they made every seats $150 they would be raking in money.

  5. I just looked at ticket prices again on axs and I don't see any price increase from Tuesday. Sections 3,4,5,16,17, and 18 were all in P1 and were $350 as they still are. I remember because I couldn't afford it so I clicked for the best I could for P2 prcing and got Section 6. The prices all look the same to me as before.

    They aren't.. The prices in the Citi presale are different than the AXS presale.. Others have seen this too

  6. Also, again, I hate to be annoying and its probably the last I'll say on the subject, but Billboard OUTRIGHT SAID tickets would be about $250. Yes, there are those $350 ones, but its $250 for the floor and nearly all the side lowers, in an arena. Maybe you didn't want to believe it, but this is not a surprise move and shouldn't be to anyone. They said explicitly this would be the case.

    Not anymore it isn't.. All the prices are jacked up from the other day... It is now $350 plus fees for the floor and the side lower Bowl... After fees over $400.. The seats that were $199 in the rear lower Bowl are now $250 plus fees.. Pure insanity...

    On the official AXS website? I didn't think you were even allowed to that. There was one price range that was $350 and it was the 3 closest sections on each side of the stage, lower level, but everything else was exactly as Billboard predicted/was told.

    yeah man, on the official website.. Go check out the AXS tickets. That is what they did for their AXS presale and it is the same link as the public sale tomorrow.

    Blame the promoters (AEG in this case). They're trying to milk this and make as much money for themselves as possible.

    The band has plenty of blame too. How much money do they need.. They always talk about the fans and shit well obviously they don't give a shit about the Fans.. Bands certainly have a say in base ticket prices.. AC/DC and Kid Rock have both done it in recent years..

  8. Prices sucking was something we all knew would happen, it really isn't that bad if you were already planning a trip. There are options for 80 to 150

    You are forever the optimist hahah.. I don't think people thought prices would be this high.. So high that we can't afford it.. The $80 tix are the absolute worst seats in the house and they are actually $100 after fees.. I'm all set with sitting in the rafters.. I did that at my first GnR show when I was 15...

  9. I'm cool with $80 ($100 after fees) or $125 ($150 after fees) even though none were even put on sale today. I get supply and demand but for AXS to jack up the price by $100 today on their non-premium site is complete bullshit.

    Yup, there are 2000 tickets up on stubhub for each show already.. Most of the tickets sold were to scalpers.. I hope they get stuck with them..

    Me too. The problem is by the time they drop down to normal it'd be too late for most people to make flight/hotel plans.

    Exactly.. If it was a local show, I'd scoop something up half price the day before.. Doesn't work so well for this show..

  11. Prices suck, but at least it isn't like the stones

    It is pretty damn close.. $390 bucks?? And as much as I loved Guns N' Roses, they aren't even in the same stratosphere as the Stones.

    General Admission for The Stones is $1,500 lol

    yeah for the VIP packages.. I know people that got into GA last tour for under $200... Hell, I got into both shows for $80 each through their site. If anyone thing sthese ticket prices are even close to reasonable, you are delusional..

  12. While I'm at it...you may want to try the pre-sale again I was getting no tix earlier, but I just tried again and pulled some up....

    Here's the password: AEGGnFnR

    See I'm not a stubhub shill :(

    Yep,just pulled up P1,Row S,Section 13,seat 22 for $390.35. I put it back as that's too much for me. I hope a Gunner snaps it up! What is the mark up on that ticket from earlier this week?

    I hope the stadiums are half empty for those prices.. assholes...

    No band is worth what they are paying. Especially now that they just jacked up the prices.. I have already talked to people around here that wanted to go when they came around. Everyone basically agrees that they don't want to pay more than $150 for a good seat.. Never mind fucking $390.. I have lost a lot of respect for Duff and Slash for being a part of this. Never really had much for Axl.. I kind of hope they fall flat on their fucking faces..

  14. Thanks. I hope I don't have to use stub hub. I should've bought the 4 while I had a chance. I'm sure I could of sold them, I'm kicking myself now

    I wouldn't. Does anyone have proof of these price increases from earlier in the week? In 25 years I've buying tickets,I've never heard of that on an official site before. I could see if it were AXS premium or whatever their legalized scalping site is but on the official ticketing site? WTF?!

    Ive seen ticketmaster do it but not that drastic.. This is insane
