I have never bought tickets with Guns N Roses before. Is it worth it to do the Nightrain membership if I do not need to be super close?

I'll take advantage of the Citi presale tomorrow, rather than paying $40 for a fan club membership that has no other perks.

Does anyone have any pricing info for the 5 different VIP tiers? Ticketmaster and the GNR site has all the perks listed, but none of the prices.

I sat right off the stage @ Wells Fargo their last time through and it was badass.  Saw them at the Linc the time before and it was awesome because of what it was & that I never thought I would see it...but sound blew dicks and I think I will pass on seeing them at the baseball stadium.  Good luck to those who are chasing tickets!

StubHub already has tickets for sale, so that's good...

I read that non-VIP GA is over $200. For VIP, add an extra grand. Not sure it's worth that for nostalgia. Same reason I didn't buy tickets recently for Ozzy, Seeger, etc. Maybe if the nosebleeds are under $75.

I think it's going to depend on the market and the size of the venue.   I did nighttrain tickets for the show I went too (CenturyLink Field Seattle 2016).   The tickets we got were pretty mediocre (they were scattered all around the venue).  We ended up not using them.  I got pretty good side stage tickets during the public onsale.  Then pit tickets randomly popped up a month or two later.   We kept upgrading, but then had a tough time disposing the spare tickets.    The side stage ones were easy to get rid of because for some reason they were $100 cheaper.   I made a few bucks on those, then lost money on the night train pair.  So ended up being down about $50usd to ditch the spares.

If you're in a big market and it's not a mega big stadium... maybe get night train to get a shot at actually getting tickets.  If it's a smaller market with a big venue.  Maybe don't and keep refreshing for months until you get tickets you want.

I think we're going to skip this tour again.    I love the show we went to but $250usd for good seats is hard to swallow.  Something I'll do to cross a band off the list, but not something that invites me to repeat viewings.  Especially when it's the same tour cycling around for the 3rd time now.

For Vancouver/Seattle, if I was going, I wouldn't use night train again.  If I was somewhere big like New York on Chicago.  I probably would.

I do wonder if GNR will start seeing diminishing returns.  They keep repeating the circuit.  Around here we got Seattle in '16, Vancouver and Seattle (Gorge), in 2017, and now back to Seattle in 2020.    They initial pent up demand of people wanting to see the reunited lineup is going to start waning at some point?

Can someone who has Nightrain post the ticket prices after they go live at 10am today? I am waiting for the Citi presale at noon and want to decide which tickets to buy before I'm at the purchase screen. Thanks!

They also put on the same show in Louisville last year that they did in Chicago a few years before.  Same videos and probably very similar setlist....

this time there might be a new album though?

I am in the waiting room for Fenway right now. I forgot how much I hated this experience with Pearl Jam in 2018. Just going to see what the Platinum prices are then bail.

I'm waiting for Indy....kind of surprised there were only 600 people in front of me

do you mind sharing the password for indy?

Fenway Pit was $270; seating bowl was $155. I can't recall exactly how much other (non-platinum) turf seats were, but they were in the $175 to $250 range, I think.

don't have one....was going to use the citibank presale but I guess it isn't available yet

Anybody have a Fenway presale code?

DC had Bowl tickets from $175-$100 I think. Got a good pair for $125. Field I think was $275-150 all the way in the back. GA $250. They are naturally charging extra for "preferred seating" like aisle seats for first 2 rows of sections. 

JimmyV

There is nothing "platinum" about grandstand seats at Fenway, but there they are. 

JimmyV

Lots of decent seats down on the field but I'm not paying $618 per pair.

I used Nightrain in 2016 for Orlando, and like others posted, not worth it. Got floor seat tickets (no GA on that tour) for about $225 ea after everything.  No benefit to their fan club at $40. 

Those asking for presale codes, the Nighttrain one is unique, and only good for up to a certain amount of tickets, so doubtful anyone will provide one to you, and if they do, it is probably linked to their Nighttrain account.

I'm waiting for any of our local pre-sales, or public sales.

I got sec 240 front row in the Citibank presale for Indy....$222 total.  Not bad

Gern Blansten

It's crazy that I can still grab aisle floor seats for $250/each for Indy.  

Also interesting that better seats are for fanclub members only....I can see available seats but can't select them
