No concrete info yet but MCD about to announce something....

Presume it'll be June to coincide with Download in the UK.
Not too arsed about seeing them again. Setlist barely changes and 'new' material is piss poor.

Post by: Pagan Saviour on November 23, 2025, 05:35:41 PM
Yeah thought it was to coincide with Download alright, was hoping maybe a band or two would be brought with them. If the tickets aren't ferocious could be  worth the day out

Am living in hope that it will be Thomond Park given the amount of recent additions there.
Not arsed making another trip to Dublin especially with 2 nights of Metallica.

3Arena Facebook page has posted the same teaser video so it will be an indoor show.
Last time I saw them there was when Axl walked off.

Great show though

Would hit an indoor show  but can't hack Marlay Park if it ends up there
Title: Re: Guns N Roses - 2026
Post by: Giggles on November 23, 2025, 06:23:20 PM
I got a free ticket to see them in Marlay Park 3 years ago. Slash great, Duff great, Axl's voice not great. I can't imagine it's gotten any better, especially if that Sabbath tribute was anything to go by  :laugh:

I'd consider it if I hadn't seen them before, but nah I'll hold onto my money thanks. And in fairness to Axl, his turning up late days seems to be a thing of the past.

I know Axl is a bit rough now but I never saw them and would be more interested in the chance to catch them if it's an indoor show.

Only time I saw them was Slane and due to the traffic (and some poor fucking planning from bus organisers) I only arrived in by Estranged.

Would rather actually catch a full set, and preferably not in a big cuntin field.

Tickets €98-€128
Title: Re: Guns N Roses - 2026
Post by: Pagan Saviour on November 24, 2025, 02:21:22 PM
Tickets not to be pedantic are 98, 128, 148, 168 & 530

We can assume the 98 ones are few and far between so you're looking at 128-148 to stand.
Title: Re: Guns N Roses - 2026
Post by: HeartWorm on November 24, 2025, 03:25:10 PM
Won't bother with this given the closeness to 2 nights of Metallica and I could probably predict the GNR set list.

Was that a bus from Mayo? When did ye set off? I remember nightmare stories from that alright, people basically 24hours on the road with only a few hours actually in Slane.

Post by: HeartWorm on November 24, 2025, 07:15:04 PM
Apparently there's 2 "new" tracks being released in December. One of them 'Atlas' is another Chinese Democracy rework of 'Atlas Shrugged'.They clearly have no need to record a new album when the touring is making so much money and Slash and Duff still go off and do their solo stuff.
Title: Re: Guns N Roses - 2026
Post by: Bürggermeister on November 24, 2025, 07:18:10 PM
Looking at the ticket pricing, if you add 128, 148 and 168 the total is almost the same as the amount of months it has been since they released anything good.

Hit off from Westport at 12, piss breaks every fucking village. Got to Slane village around 4 and still didn't make it in for kick off.

Some fucking moron got lost after, so there was a few hours of driving around Slane after the gig. Landed back home at 6.30am. I swore I'd never go back, but in fairness Metallica via the shuttle bus from Dublin was absolutely fine.

I hear ya, didn't go in 2022 because it was in Marlay Park, just don't like the place. Saw them in Slane in 2017, that was great.

Glad it's an arena and not outdoor, will try an get ticket, I'd say it'll sell out fast, surprised they are doing an arena instead of a large venue outdoors, but I'm glad.

Got my tickets for Slane through that and they were 100 euro each.There isn't a hope I'd pay anymore than that to see them these days.
Title: Re: Guns N Roses - 2026
Post by: Pat Twisted Wrath on November 25, 2025, 01:57:32 PM
Yep, I know gigs are extortionate these days but if I'm paying that much for a standing ticket I'd want to LOVE that band. If a few cheaper ones pop up closer time, might look into again.
Title: Re: Guns N Roses - 2026
Post by: HeartWorm on November 25, 2025, 02:49:12 PM
I know touring costs have escalated for bands but when does it reach a stage that Axl/Slash/Duff 3 millionaires think it's ok to charge well over a 100 quid for a ticket.They have made serious money the past few years since reforming,enough to never have to work again.

Anyone else have issues with the 3 presale? Sent off for the code yesterday and still nothing. Now it looks like only seating up at the back left so it seems like TM will be doing the usual dynamic pricing by pretending tickets are selling too fast.

I was on at 9.01, 900 and something in the queue before me, clicked to get standing, they're the cheapest ones, and I wasn't paying any more. Anyways wasn't more than 20 seconds in the queue, picked standing as they seemed to be available, but when I clicked get tickets was told they were no longer available..

Tomorrow's another day......

When they end up limiting the presale to specific areas it's usually a bad sign of what's going to happen during the general sale.

Fair play.

So I logged onto ticketmaster at 8.58, in the lobby, that's fine, in the queue at 9, number five eighty something in the queue, waited a couple of mins, didn't seem too long, then I got to pick my ticket, so I select standing and when I selected get tickets, was told not available, or something like that.  :(

My question is though, if I'm eight hundred and something in the queue, and there is a limit per person, how are they all gone??? the standing ones I mean.

Edit, maybe it was eighty five something

Standing isn't gone they just hold them back to push the premium early entry tickets they have up now that are three times the price just a different way of doing dynamic pricing. Didn't even bother myself this morning done with this bullshit of jumping through hoops to buy overpriced tickets. I will try get one for a normal price close to the show and if I don't then so be it.

I see they have resale tickets up for this already and had them up since Friday. A lad I work with who I will not be going to the gig with got seating tickets and said he doesn't have the option to resell so is this more underhand tactics from TM? I see someone saying on here they paid 138 for standing. I have seen a few standing resale come up for 162 as far as I know you can't resell for above face value in Ireland anymore.

I could be completely wrong here but given ticketmasters reputation I won't give them the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah, I think it's that you can't sell for more than you paid rather than face value of ticket, so that 162 is probably what they paid including fees.

Yeah on resales the buyer pays the service charge again + VAT on the service charge + a €2.95 handling fee.

Tickets for Deafheaven were €34.90 after fees and I left it until this week and had to buy on resale and paid about €42
Title: Re: Guns N Roses - 2026

So technically TM are selling tickets for above face value or I guess the loop hole is the cost is being split between them and the seller. A standing ticket came up this morning and I added it to the cart to see. The Ticketmaster service charge on it was €21.

That's a scandalous charge for fuck all service!

My Ticketmaster account is still restricted thanks to their bullshit new security check thing and I have no intention of uploading my passport and doing a face scan just to buy fuckin concert tickets.

Customer support was a complete farce, just kept copying and pasting the same shit over and over. Eventually got told to just create a new account with a new email. Fuckin stellar service there TM  :eyeroll:
Title: Re: Guns N Roses - 2026
Post by: mickO))) on December 03, 2025, 08:03:16 PM
It's a disgrace that they removed the customer care line and now it's a bot followed by a generic email reply days later. I had an issue were my old Canadian number that I had no access to was the one my account because at some stage without giving any warning they combined all your accounts into one if you had ones for different countries under the same email address.

Went back and forth with the so called customer service here in Ireland for two years and they wouldn't do a thing to help. Was in Canada last month they have a phone line which I called and it took less than 5 minutes to get it resolved.

Companies like these by law should have to provide phone in customer service.

Had a nosey there and for cheapest seats I'm seeing 179 euros. Fuck me, for that I'd be expecting an all day two stage mini festival with actual name acts.
