Just got my tix!  Floor sec 2 row 14.  The Reno Events Center looks like a sweet venue.  Built in 2005.  Capacity of around 7000.  This next month is gonna fly by.......

Wow, I thought there would be a lot more people signed up to go to this show. Isn't this the next smallest venue GN'R are playing besides SF and LV? see you there Evergreen!

Yeah its definitely on the smaller size relative to the other Cali shows.  Was expecting to get a little closer via the presale but I'm just happy to get tickets and happy they have floor seating!  The changed the San Diego show to GA Floor after the sale started but it looks like they're keeping the seats at Reno.  I saw them in Tacoma on the first U.S. show of the '02 tour.  Can't wait to see this one and I'm hoping for some Portland/Seattle dates  later on!

How are the sales going for this place and the other bigger arena shows?

So, about the extra ticket I want to sell (face value) is Section 2 row 17 seat 1. Let me know

I am not sure, but you can still get floor seats for all the shows. That would seem to indicate they aren't selling all that well so far. But who knows

Is this the only show where the floor section is going to have seats and not a general admission floor (SRO)? I've never been to a "seated" GN'R show.....


Title: Re: September 30 - Reno, NV @ Reno Events Center
Post by: evergreen_layne on September 15, 2006, 06:42:19 PM
Its not the only show with floor seating, but its one of the few.  Part of me doesn't care either way, but my girlfriend wants seats for sure.  Otherwise we're standing in line early and getting to the front against the barricade.  So much easier if you've got something to anchor yourself.   : ok:

whoo-hoo from 1 week away to 3.5 months away!  Oh well that's the price I pay for being into this band for half my life.  When I was scheduling the flight/hotel I knew it was a gamble.  Oh well going to Reno this weekend anyway.  At least I didn't book Bakersfield!  Holding onto my tix though and I'll be back on 1/13.  By then the NW dates will be out and I'll just follow the band around for a while.  Peace.

So, what's the deal? We just show up with the tickets marked for Sep. 30th on Jan 13th? Tomorrow I'm cancelling my flight and hotel for this weekend but I WILL be there on the new date!


Title: Re: January 13 - Reno, NV @ Reno Events Center
Post by: axlrosegnr on September 25, 2006, 05:34:53 PM
OK, I am now going to this show. I originally planned on going to Bakersfield, but since that got resheduled for a Thursday, i won't be able to make it. And besides, I can fly to Reno from Vegas for dirt cheap.

Yeah you'll be able to use your 9/30 tix to get into the 1/13 show.  Ticketmaster has the re-scheduled date but you can't buy tickets.  Wonder what the hold up is.

I just called the Reno events center and asked about the concert being changed to January
and about the ticket sales. He said that the sales were not bad, but the whole tour had been pushed back and he's not sure why.

Post by: rhiad on September 27, 2006, 12:06:42 PM
Thanks Evergreen! Hopefully by the time this show rolls around the set list will have more new songs added. Being this is one of last dates scheduled so far.

Hello to all of you going to Reno!!

Just got my tickets delivered to my front door, and my heart is so pounding, section 2, row 1 seats 3 and 4, that should be an excellent view if I do say so myself.

We should definately meet up and have a beer or two before the show!!  I haven't ever been to Reno, so am not familiar with where anything is to make any kind of plan, Axlrosegnr, I think maybe yu might know something. :beer:

Just watched the movie 'Click' last night, not that I would want to speed through life or anything, but maybe just this once so waiting wouldn't seem like an eternity, but in between now and then, I will see them anyway, and I know all good things come in time. 

Hope to see yu all

Hey! I have actually never been to Reno, I think it's like an 8 hour drive from Vegas though. I am flying in the day of the show, and leaving the next. I haven't gotten my tickets yet, but I will use a ticket broker to get great seats. Front row is like 100 bucks more than second row, so I will settle for second. But maybe I can fine some in section 2 right behind you guys or something. I'll keep you updated!!

Post by: evergreen_layne on October 24, 2006, 07:32:15 PM
I'd be careful about paying more for one row over the other on the floor.  I'm pretty sure this show will get turned into GA floor just like all the other shows unfortunately.

Yeah, I was thinking about that too, thats why I haven't bought my ticket yet. But I would LOVE for it to be GA, but it would suck money wise.

A little over 2 months and can not wait. I just hope the snow holds off, coming up from sacramento any one else from Northern Cali going??? :beer:
   Sittin floor 1 row 7 and I have an extra ticket that will sell for face value my friend backed out because he is afraid of the snow.

Unfortunately I had to back out of attending this show.  I jumped the gun when the show was announced not knowing that there would be 2 shows within driving distance (Portland and Everett).  Evergreen no longer attending Reno.  You kids have fun!

thinking about going to this one. Went to CAA in jersey and it was no doubt the best concert Ive ever been to in my life. Axl kicks ass, but anyway d be taking my mom to go see them she was a big fan in the 80's and after showing her videos on you tube she wants to go. I wanted to know if anyone knows how wel the show is selling b/c Id hate to spend all that cash for airfare and hotel and have the concert get cancelled on me.

Go out on a limb, go for it, if you want to see an excellent show, and most obviously the most excellent band on the face of the rock n roll planet it's worth taking the chance, I promise you that, I took a huge one this year and traveled to Portugal from Seattle with family to see him at Rio, it was a huge financial risk, so to speak, wouldn't have done it If I couldn't afford to, yet they were my entire reason for going, so I guess what I am trying to say is that I wouldn't have spent it just to go visit Portugal, It was not on my wishlist of places I wanted to go, but I must add it was a very beautiful country, and as it turned out it was well worth it.  I certainly wasn't let down in any way, then flew to Vegas in September, that was also most excellent.  Will be attending this show as well and will be seeing them in my hometown of Everett this next month, wish I could follow them on there entire tour, but I do have a life outside of the GNR camp, so I say to you, If you have the opportunity to do this definately make it do-able, you will be glad that you did!!

Cheers

Add me to the list of attendees Jarmo.? ?Since I can't see them in Milwaukee, I'm heading west.? ?Yee haw! : ok:? Does anyone know which hotels are close to the venue?? (And are nice by the way...I am not flying all that way to stay in a dump.)  I'd also love to meet up before the show.   I get into Reno around noon ....  :beer:

Oh yeah, seats 11 & 12.? ?Do you know which direction the seats are numbered in?? My best friend who moved to Vegas a few years ago is driving in to go to the show with me.? ?So this totally makes up for the Milwaukee cancellation for me.? So, is anyone meeting before the show? What other kind of trouble can two crazy chicks find to get into in Reno besides gambling?? :hihi:

Don't know which direction the seat run in, but I do think it is safe to say that we both have excellent seats, yes!!  I am bringing a black sharpie pen and little sign with me, asking Axl if he will autograph my GNR jacket, If I get it signed it will be the last time I wear it, as I am gonna frame it and put it on my GNR "Hall of Fame" wall.  Yee Hah!!

Don't know much about Reno, as I am a Vegas girl, this will be my first time in Reno.  My husband has always wanted to go, but I always have just chose Vegas, but since somebody is gonna be there, well I guess I'll go check it out!!! ;D

I would like to meet up with everyone, it's part of going to one of these shows, I kinda make it a point, so if anyone of you going, know anything about Reno, speak up, lets get a meeting spot planned and grab a beer or two before the show.

Cool idea about the jacket.  Which one do you have?  I've got the white one from Wilson's.  I'm so excited about seeing the band but I have to tell you, it seems like there is always some obstacle for me.   First the Bradley center was dicking me around the early entry wristbands, then the show cancels anyways, and now my tickets for Reno  are sitting at a fed ex distribution center because we had a damn blizzard yesterday and they didn't get delivered.  I can't go get them today because of other obligations (dance recital from hell) which means it waits until Monday.   I'm sure everything will be fine, but I'll rest a lot easier once the tickets are in my hand!

Right on!!  I have the same jacket from Wilson's, I have worn it to all the shows I've attended this year, which is currently two and will be four by the time Reno hits.  Try not to stress out, all your obstacles will move out of the way, and there is plenty of time, but I understand the part where you just want your tickets in hand, so you can really relax.  I've had mine for about 6 weeks, just hangin out in my drawer, after the show, they will become another page in my GNR scrapbook!!

Yeah, I was planning on going, but luckily I didn't book my flight yet. Oh well, this would have been my 4th show this tour, and at least we know we're getting an album!! I'm gonna use the money I had put away for this show and put it towards a PS3. I hope they come back to Vegas next year!!

Yeah. I didn't book my flight for this exact reason, you never know what may happen. But hey, I got to see them twice this time around, and they may be back out on the road once the album drops and I could catch another show.

Well, let's see.  I had tickets to Milwaukee and Reno.   Both cancelled.   That sucks big time.     I did have the sense to purchase refundable air fare and hotel though.   And of course the tickets are refundable too.    What sucks is that I didn't get to see them at all!  And I had front row for Reno and early entry for Milwaukee.    I'm afraid if and when they do tour again, i won't be able to get tickets like those.     

And yes,  even after getting screwed twice, I will buy tickets to the concerts again next time around.
