Weapons grade pricing.

It's not unexpected, but it is unacceptable. We as gig going music fans are being fleeced because modernisation in the way we listen to music has meant artists make less money from record sales.

In fairness I have said no to quite a lot of gigs over the past couple of years as I just see it not worth what they are asking but this is a little different.

Daylight robbery. No chance. Such a shame.

It'll sell out no problem of course.

[Keithy]

To close to Glastonbury for me to be tempted for the London dates and once you factor in accommodation, travel, etc, the price really escalates.

Looking at the dates, the only one that would tempt me to part with Golden Circle cash would be the Prague date in July as (a) I can fly to Prague at roughly the same cost as a train to London, (b) accommodation is cheaper and (c) I'd make it into a 3 day post Glastonbury break.

I'm guessing they will be back in 2018 for festival dates. Looking at those ticket prices and guestimating the cut GnR will take, they've probably priced themselves out of all UK fests at the moment.

Yeah this is what I've told my mate who was put out by the steep prices. First come the big tickets then they wring out the demand with festivals chucking money at them.

Seems they've gone with Live Nation for this tour which must put the ball in the court of R+L or Download over, say, BST.

My rationale is that the gates open at 3 - GnR won't be on before 8/8:30 so that leaves room for 2/3 support bands. 

They probably won't be on before 11:00/11:30 leaving room for 2/3 support bands and then a huge gap.

Given that it's GNR, and given that it's London, I think there's a very real danger that they have the plug pulled on them after a relatively short set.

Yup, and I doubt one year later will price them in for any except BST or IOW (if it's still even going and the money is there then). There isn't a chance than R&L are going to get them and Download would need two weaker headliners and a weak under card minimum.

I have decided just to go for £95 though as being short anyway I'll be looking over shoulders regardless. If a side seat that lets me in when I want to be there is available I'll take it.

Reading Fest all over again!

 

Seems they have been playing 25/30 songs each night so far and I haven't heard that they have been ready late - I've seen them twice (Download 06 and Wembley not a lot later) and they came out 5 mins early at Download and about 2 hours late at Wembley. So I've had both

The good news for everyone is that we have the Night Tube now in London.

[Nicklord]

They were late in Vegas (first night, probably cause they on purpose wanted to build tension or something and there was no curfew  ) and in Mexico last weekend cause Axl's chopper couldn't take off (in Serbia, for that we use term: urinating over poor) 

[Gnomicide]

I'm opting for the Bollocks To That package.

Many happy memories of seeing them in their pomp, I'll leave it at that.

[UEF]

I've paid £100 to stand at the back, plus nearly that much again for Travelodge. Fuck it, only live once and this is GnR. Even the show with session guys from 2007ish was incredible.

[ThomThomDrum]

Slane!  Fuck that! Hate that place and that being so I really couldn't be arsed spending that money to make that effort. Ill spend the money and put the work in for 5 days at Glastonbury, but not for GnR in Slane. Not worth it IMO.

agreed. I never saw the fairness of golden circles. If you want to be nearer the front thats £30 more please! 

[eastynh]

I am in London anyway for the other Roses that weekend. Can't say I have ever been a fan but have always chuckled at their antics. Are they worth getting to see?

It's more than that. £95 for standard, £165 for GC.

Even a lower closer seat is £138 and any seat that is close for the standard section will be filled by people queuing comfortably from midday.

How do you know they'll be comfortable while they're queuing? Are they providing recliners and pillows?

You can do better than that surely! lol

Can't even use the priority option. Just won't fetch!

[Chef]

Picked up some standing on AMEX presale (I know, I know). Just don't feel like I could miss it though, been waiting a long time for this to come around.
