Me too section 2 row N I've never been north of LA.  I'm coming from HB on my own, I'm sure traffic is gonna suck but guns won't come on till 10 at least so I should be straight.

Well, i just bought a ticket so i'm in!!! never been to this place though , anyone have any thoughts about it?

FYI - i noticed that before the floor had seats but apparently they have changed that because when i got mine, it said GA floor.. so the floor is now general admission which is pretty sweet!!!

[oinfantes]

I just bought my ticket!!!!! General Admission too, I'm flying from South America (Peru) so I will pick up my ticket from Will Call window, hope to see all you guys at the gig!
I have also tickets for Satriani/Vai & Friends and for the three shows of Roger Waters @ Hollywood Bowl, this will be a great vacation 

[Chief]

wow, that is an awesome vacation

hope to see you there!!! i think someone who is more familiar with the area should try to find a spot where fans will meet before the show?

anyone?

[axlrosegnr]

So, I live in Vegas, so I'm obviously going to the Vegas shows. But, I'm kinda seein this girl who lives here, but she is originally from Bakersfield. She asked me to go out there with her a couple months ago, but I couldn't cause I was busy with something that weekend. Well, I figured, this would be the perfect weekend to go out there with her so I will be there too!!

[DEAD HORSE]

I got my ticket for Bakersfield 

Rock & Roll!!!!

Hope to meet you fuckers there!

[Chief]

Hi!!

Is anyone going to Bakersfield gig from Los Angeles? We are 2 foreign girls on a vacation in LA and need to figure out how to get to Bakersfield.

If anyone knows an easy (and preferably cheap) way to get there, please help us 

Thanks!

[Chief]

I'm driving up from LA.  i think you may be able to take a bus like greyhound or something like that...
i doubt the train heads up there.

i will know in the next day or two if I am going. But I really think I will be. Even if I am by myself. Shit I already think of axlrosegnr as a friend, and I see Chief is going (who probably owes me a beer for flaking on me in Vegas). Also would dig meeting more people from the board so...

[Chief]

yea you're right, i should probably buy you a beer dude! 

[Buddha_Master]

Alright!!! Just bought 3 tickets! I'm going....and could not be more excited. I am bring my mom and my co worker (who works for the music connection. She does reviews but just wants to finally see GNR again. She saw them only once before : The Stoned in L.A. show.

Anyway, count me in. Anyone know of a hotel right there...and a bar. My mom knows the deal and is way cool with it. Hopefully there will be a hotel and a bar we can all meet at before the show.

My Dad thinks my mom is fucking nuts. Lol ...anway can't wait...I CANT WAIT!

[Chief]

there should be hotels for sure but i'm not too familiar with that city.  We Definitely need to find a bar near by .. are there any locals going?

[Buddha_Master]

There is hotels that are right next to the convention center. But, I dont know if there are any bars. Maybe one of the hotels as one. If not, maybe we could make meeting in a hotel room a new tradition!

[Chief]

hotel room parties are fine with me! i am not planning on spending the night there but i can probably hang for a while..

[Buddha_Master]

There just isnt going to be a place like the Rainbow in Bakersfield, let alone next to where GNR are playing. Im sure there are some options we just dont know about.

Hey man, Yeah, the girl i'm going with to this show is only 20 also, and unlike Emily, lol, she doesn't have a fake ID....so i would be down with meeting in a hotel....is anyone getting a room close to the venue?  I guess I'm stayin at this girls frineds place or something, but would love to party like here! 

[Buddha_Master]

Well, you know I would be cool with it being at whatever hotel I will be staying at but....this time my moms is with me so I don't think it will be happening at mine this time round.

[Chief]

ok so who else is gonna be getting a room?

[Buddha_Master]

Alright good news. My mom said she will bake us all cookies for the pre party! This is going to be hysterical...

[axlrosegnr]

[Chief]

[axlrosegnr]

Well, sadly, since this has been rescheduled for January 11th, I will not be able to go, since it is a Thursday. I will go to the Reno show on the 13th instead now.

[dave033]

I think it's still on!   

 

[Chief]

[dave033]

Could you give more info on that hotel? Considering making the trip.
Thanks.

[Rebel Yell]

I will do everything I possibly can to get them to play a show here next year.

Wish me luck.

Good luck!
I'll do the same for a San Diego show.....

[Chief]

FYI for anyone who had tickets for this show (or any show for that matter):

I called Ticketbastard and gave them the order number, etc and they refunded my money to my credit card.  I wouldn't assume they automatically will do this so i'd recommend that you call them asap.

[Chief]

FYI , i got my refund from ticketbastard. for once they did a decent job!
