Wow!!!! I have two hours before they go on sale to convince my wife we need to take a trip to San Antonio  :) any idea if ticket prices will be the same as first leg?  Ticketmaster site is not showing ticket prices.

For the NC show prices are listed $35-$250. So similar, but I don't remember them as cheap as $35. Great deal.

Ha!  I got shut out of GA (was trying for that first), but then had to settle for floor seats.  No worries, I'll still be on my feet the entire show.  You're right about the pit for European shows (and south american too).  Definitely more livelier than US shows.

Got pit tickets for San Antonio!!! Doing a road trip for it with my son who will be 14 by then.  It will be his 5th guns show.  He still treasures the whistle Axl have to him a couple years ago.

I meant more with the floor seats- that's pretty unheard of at gigs over here, unless it's something that warrants an all seated crowd. Floor is always all standing. I've been to stadium shows before where the entire stadium floor is not only all standing, but has no partitions or divisions or sections. I saw Oasis once in their home town of Manchester- when the gig started the entire stadium surged- I was on the barrier, and the barrier broke! Band had to stop playing, girl near me broke her arm- chaos. That seems to have stopped now fortunately though!

I wonder if this is just a partial list for fall 2017 and more US shows will be added to fill out September and October.

Maybe a couple, but honestly I think they're trying to hit up the markets they missed on the first NA leg.  I'd be surprised if Chicago, NY, LA Boston etc. get shows announced for this particular leg. Which is cool.  Can't say I was disappointed to see them twice this past year, and am glad some other cities will get to see this monster.

I hate weds concerts.  I guess with a year to plan for it I can, but you think with a year to plan for the concert they would be able to put it on the weekend.  The stadium they are playing in Edmonton is really only used 10 times a year!

If you limit each of those cities to 1 show, you are guarenteeing 4 sell outs. Even back to the 2002 tour Chicago (Rosemont), Boston, and NYC were sellouts (Toronto and London Ontario were the only other sellouts on that tour). I get that you want to mix it up and hit some other cities, but I wouldn't intentionally skip some of the biggest markets in the US to play places like Hershey, Buffalo, and El Paso...

Of course I am in one of those markets, so it's a selfish argument for me.

Was there last summer. Bleacher seating for the grandstand. Actual seats for the floor.  You want to sit in sections 1-8 to avoid being in the sun until it goes down (if you choose grandstand). I think it holds around 30k. Parking was free in the fields.

I saw that the concert capacity is 30K... this is why I don't understand dedicating an entire leg of the tour to what I wouldn't even consider secondary markets (St Louis, Denver, and Miami being outliers). Why specifically skip Pittsburgh and Philly to hit Hershey?

Hershey, Buffalo, and Montreal are the closest they make it to New England, NYC, and Long Island?

I'm really hoping for additional dates.

Not that far at all, if it's like last summer.

Especially in the center.

There will be 50-60 thousand at the Edmonton show.  Not a bad secondary market

Which places are those?

The one exception I can think of is George, WA being kinda close to Seattle, WA.

Vancouver is close as well, but it's Vancouver.

Buffalo and Toronto would be the next closest comparison from the last tour. This is a definite effort to hit markets they didn't get to last time for whatever reason (routing, scheduling, etc..)

I just hope they find a way to service some area's that they are going to be pretty far from like New England. Even if they manage to get to Hartford or Providence (over say Boston/Foxboro if need be)... I just struggle to think of what the venue could be outside of Gillete Stadium or Fenway Park. Pilferk could probably say if UConn's football facility would be a fit.

Beyonce and Paul McCartney played Hershey last summer with amazing attendance. I don't think Hershey is an expensive venue to book either. It's close to Philly, Baltimore, Harrisburg, and Wilmington. Not a far drive from NYC either.

I'm just saying that you are skipping Chicago, NYC, Boston, and LA which would pretty much guarantee a single night 45k+ seat sellout in any of the 4 locations, but are instead hitting Hershey Park's 30k seat stadium. I realize that may not be by choice do to schedule, routing, etc... We all heard how Axl wanted Stl this past summer, but just couldn't make it work. I just think in a perfect world hitting 4 of the largest markets in the country would probably make financial sense (and would more importantly make me happy).

Rentschler Field would be great. It's a small stadium, but the Stones and The Boss have played there among many others. Seats over 38k for football, looks more like 34k for concerts. 15 minutes from me too, so I'd absolutely love it!

I saw them in 2011 at The Meadows (now Xfinity Theatre, ugh). That's got a 30K capacity with the lawn opened up.

Buffalo would be one hell of a drive. I really should have found a way to get the money last year...

Am I fucked, did i Wait to long or will there be more pit tickets available tomorrow when they go on sale for the public? Does anyone know?
