Re: 2011-12 Guns n Roses Tour
That's a worry to me. If the promoters get burned too hard on this kind of thing it could lead to less tours etc.
Still, from an end user point of view you've made a killing!
Insane to see the whole show for under $20, can't remember what I paid last year but I think it was at least $100!!!
Re: 2011-12 Guns n Roses Tour
just wonder what people who already paid 90 bucks a pop are gonna think about this?
Well, if they don't now about it, it won't be an issue. If it's well publicized, then that could be a different story. The show is well worth $90, so if word doesn't get out that they could've had tickets for much cheaper, I don't think it'll be an issue. That is a worry I had with my tickets. I had a group of 9 going to the show, and worried that tickets would be scalping in the parking lot for much less than face value. Didn't become an issue though, and the show made everyone forget about the ticket price once and for all.

Yeah but you have to remember... the only reason GN'R are doing this tour in the states, assumingly, is because Irving is picking up the tab, per the court agreement.
Don't know about everyone else, but my ticket said "AEG Live presents GUNS N' ROSES".
Promoters in the states haven't been willing to touch GN'R in years, mainly imo for that Axl can typically only draw about 10,000 people to an arena show. Less in smaller areas. Now is that bad... no. It's better than small theaters, but at the same time, a promoter is not gonna take a chance on a band that doesn't turn a profit either.
I still have a very hard time believing that GN'R can't turn a profit. Anywhere in the world.

Gee, what it must be like to live in a country where albums cost the same as bottle of coke and concerts cost almost the same as train fares.
