(how's that for bad grammer??)
(& yea, of course cancelled should have two l's!)That's fine, but when you make up words like "Organizator" it kills the credibility in my mind. Also "due bad ticket selling". Listen I hate to play the role of "Grammar Police". We've all made our share of mistakes. But this guy obviously was just making shit up, and poorly at that. Let's say he DID get such information. I wouldn't trust his comprehension of the info based on that poorly constructed post.
Having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if the shows don't sell like hot cakes. But cancelations would surprise me, especially 6 of them.
Selfishly I hope they don't sell well - at least for the show I'm going to. I hate crowds. Even at the Slash concert, I hung out as far back as I could and didn't go with when Smokin Guns and his posse tried to sneak to the front.
I hear you. And I also selfishly agree. While the show in Hartford I went to was pretty well attended, I was able to secure a spot on the floor about 10 feet back from the stage by showing up during Bach's set. Some friends of mine didn't come in until after Baz finished and they still got spots a little further behind me.
While part of me would love to see the playing to huge crowds. Situations like this have their perks.
Re: 12 GN'R shows in Las Vegas
it will get good walk up business so I don't think it will cancel...just don't think it will be packed every night.
The only issue I have with the oversaturation argument is that there is so much turnover in Vegas due to the tourism and travel in and out of the city.

Totally. Whether it's a venue that holds 50 or 5000 or 50 000 you want it to be full. The energy and overall vibe is just better that way. No different than walking into a sports arena and half the seats are empty as compared to a sell out.

I wasn't really talking about half full arenas. The show I went to in Hartford was at an indoor theater, probably held about 5,000 and it was pretty close to capacity. BUT, GNR back in the day would be selling out stadiums. So it's nice to get a chance to see them at smaller venues, that they're more suited for these days.
And the Vegas shows should be no exception. While I don't necessarily think they'll be sellouts across the board, I do think attendance should be pretty good for the most part. We'll see though.

They never sold out stadiums in the US...only with Metallica and they were huge at the time as well. That was more of a festival tour than an individual Gnr show. I was there. I know.
