I will too.  My hometown of Portland on the 11th then Reno about a month later.  Pollstar says it'll be at the Rose Garden but a commercial I heard on 101 said the Memorial Coliseum.  I'm hoping for the Garden.....

 Does anyone know if the pre-sale for this one is on Friday as well? I thought I saw info that it would be on Thursday but now I can't find it on the Rose Garden site. Any help would be greatly appreciated


Title: Re: December 11 - Portland, OR @ The Rose Garden Arena
Post by: evergreen_layne on September 27, 2006, 11:51:11 PM
The Rose Garden site now says the pre-sale starts on Fri from 10 AM - 10 PM.

Jesus, the Cyber Club presale GA seats are already sold out, and it only started two and a half hours ago.  Wow.  There may be a crowd after all!  :beer:

 I'm glad I got my tix this morning for both Portland and Everett!! The pre-sale for Calgary and Edmonton are a mess. No good tix at all! However I assume they aren't releasing very many for the pre-sale and the ones they are people are buying them with the mis-conception that the show is selling very fast, which I don't think is the case. Hope to see you there!

What a mess is right!? I could't get into the presale for about the first half hour I'm supposing because so many folks were jamming the site.? Finally got some tickets but dang it all I need five but they only we're selling 4 max.? I bought 3 anyway and will try for 2 more tomorrow when the general sale opens.

I'll be there. I have two GA floor tickets. I will also be at the Everett show the night before. :hihi:
Are any of you guys going out beforehand or afterward or have any plans to meet the band?

I'll be in Portland at least part of the weekend before, but I'll be with some friends, so I'll have to see what their schedule is.  At the very least, it would be cool to try and meet up in line the day of the show.

On a side note, I just noticed that unless you're buying three tickets or less, GA is sold out, and the best seats available are already about halfway to the opposite end of the arena.  And tix have only been on sale to the general public for an hour.  Sweet.

Post by: Mike McKagan on October 01, 2006, 03:45:40 PM
Nah, the seat numbers are just to keep track of how many floor seats are sold.  If you're on the floor, you're standing.  Congrats!  :beer:

Yo got my tix the day of the presale.  The Rose Garden website must have been getting bombarded cuz it took me a while to finally get through.  But I got seats in section 101 which is perfect.  Seems like the GA is sold out now and the closest you can get in the seats is sec 121.  Glad this show is selling so well.  The energy at the Rose Garden is gonna be.......

Post by: damnthehaters on October 02, 2006, 03:12:19 PM
When you go to buy GA tickets now, it says you get seats 87 and 88 (or around there)  Does this mean that only 88 people have gotten GA seats?   ???


Title: Re: December 11 - Portland, OR @ The Rose Garden Arena
Post by: Mike McKagan on October 02, 2006, 06:22:48 PM
If so, we're in for some up-close and personal time with Axl.

Yeah Portland is such a great music town.  I live a few MAX stops down from the Rose Garden.  They screwed me over on the Reno date so this kinda makes up for it.  "Gonna call the president..."

Getting close to the two month mark!  (Yes, I need to get a life.)  :peace:

I ordered my tickets off gunsnroses.com and I'm wondering if that takes longer?  Because I haven't recieved my tickets yet.  I'm starting to get worried, it's been about 10 days since I ordered them.


Title: Re: December 11 - Portland, OR @ The Rose Garden Arena
Post by: Mike McKagan on October 11, 2006, 08:47:33 PM
I haven't got mine yet either, and I ordered from gnr.com too.  Hopefully, we'll see them soon.


Title: Re: December 11 - Portland, OR @ The Rose Garden Arena
Post by: Mike McKagan on October 13, 2006, 08:56:06 PM
I don't think spending the night in line will be required to get up front.  I'm planning on getting there early afternoon, and I'm fairly sure from what other people have told me that it won't be too hard to worm my way up front.   :beer:


Title: Re: December 11 - Portland, OR @ The Rose Garden Arena
Post by: Mike McKagan on October 17, 2006, 10:27:20 PM
Anybody who ordered from GN'R.com get their tix yet?


Title: Re: December 11 - Portland, OR @ The Rose Garden Arena
Post by: chemeister on October 18, 2006, 05:51:14 AM
are you pre-sales still waiting for your tix? so how early are you guys planning on showing up, cuz we re gettin a hotel room around that area, prolly by the convention center... so any prefunkin parties goin on?


Title: Re: December 11 - Portland, OR @ The Rose Garden Arena
Post by: damnthehaters on October 26, 2006, 01:28:17 AM
Yeah, I still haven't received my tickets yet.  However, when I went and saw GNR in Tacoma in 2002, I didn't get my tickets untill the week before.  I'm still a little worried though.

By the way, I talked to someone today who is going to the concert.  They have a suite there to all events in the Rose Garden and he told me that the concert is almost sold out.  There are only a few seats left I guess.  That's good news!  I love seeing my band in a great atmosphere.

Post by: evergreen_layne on October 26, 2006, 11:26:23 AM
Hey I saw that Tacoma '02 show too.  I'm hoping for a re-tooled setlist for this show since its gonna happen after CD is released.  (I hope).  Good news about the strong sales at the Rose Garden.  I wasn't sure what to expect cuz Portland is such a sleepy M. Ward kinda town but hey people have some diverse musical tastes here!  Only about 6 weeks to go........


Title: Re: December 11 - Portland, OR @ The Rose Garden Arena
Post by: Mike McKagan on November 12, 2006, 08:50:47 PM
So we've passed the one month countdown mark, which is awesome.  On the flipside of that, anybody got their tix through tickets.com yet??


Title: Re: December 11 - Portland, OR @ The Rose Garden Arena
Post by: damnthehaters on November 15, 2006, 01:31:04 PM
NO

Don't panic just yet.  Supposedly tickets.com is waiting until  the last minute (a week or so) before the concert to mail the tix out.  From what I've heard people have receved their tickets for the previous shows through them its just been closer to the show date.


Title: Re: December 11 - Portland, OR @ The Rose Garden Arena
Post by: Mike McKagan on December 01, 2006, 12:09:47 AM
Okay folks.  Twelve days.  Anybody got their tickets.com tix yet?

Post by: damnthehaters on December 01, 2006, 02:30:58 PM
Yeah, WTF?  Are they gonna just magically show up on the Sunday before the show?  I would like to have them now please!

I checked to Rose Garden website and it was still letting me buy four tix in any section, but that's pretty vague.

Damn I missed it.  I almost always check out the A&E too.  When the Chili Peppers came to town they got an interview with Anthony.  I'm guessing no interview this time though.

Okay, folks.  I don't know if I'll get to post anymore before I go to get in line tomorrow evening.  I'll be the guy wearing the black Queen T-shirt and the gray hooded sweatshirt/jacket.  Feel free to join me in line, or up front on the floor.  Rock on, everyone.   :beer:
