New Slash Album and Tour announced

thomasross20

Got mine for Glasgow! Actually, I opted for PRINTED TICKETS so I'm technically waiting.

No seating or seat numbers so assume all is standing.

Sold out where?

thomasross20

I refreshed browser 10s before 9am and it let me buy them -was lucky maybe..

FarleyUK

Yeah, I'm really pissed off - was online at the screen for 20 minutes, entered the code, chose two tickets for Hammersmith.... and said there were none available.

chrishill901

Likewise @FarleyUK ;

I literally clicked on it on the second and it had sold out. It appears there must have been a glitch that out good friend @thomasross20 has benefitted from!

thomasross20

You guys should try to get tickets for another venue?? Make it a wee trip?

Yep defo some glitch - I wasn't even repeatedly clicking... it was the one time and I was like "oh, what a surprise!" - I don't think it's Slash's fault....! To be fair they did say it'd be popular even with pre-sale. With no pre-sale you had absolutely zero chance. That does suck, though.

I'll bet there are still some for Glasgow, Paris etc?

chrishill901

I was trying for Manchester. Of course it’s not Slash’s fault! The site offering the presale will know though but won’t say anything. Last time I put my faith in a web designer...

thomasross20

That was a little humour about it being Saul's fault lol. 

Sorry about this for you guys

chrishill901

Haha we’ll just get general sale!

There are actually Glasgow tickets still available! I’m not driving that far though!! Haha

thomasross20

Oh so there are only a limited number of pre-sale tickets? Gotcha..

chrishill901

I would imagine 10% of the venue capacity, so 350 for Manchester, 500 for Glasgow etc... there’ll be the usual o2 priority (not that I’m on o2) and then general sale also. I might try get seated because my girlfriend is coming and she’s not too tall!!

Wonder if there’ll be any VIP packages?

thomasross20

Surely not or they'd have been on pre-sale, too?

I actually prefer seated BIG TIME (too close to front and the sound is mushy )

chrishill901

Yeah I definitely prefer seated! Although I was at the barrier for Guns at Olympic stadium and it was pretty awesome!!

i don’t know because usually with VIP packages you still need a separate ticket for the gig itself so they wouldn’t necessarily release the VIP packages for presale... I doubt there will be, he’s too big. If there is it will be pricey... and I’ll pay it.

thomasross20

I wouldn't pay if it's something like "meet the road crew" or would I....

Unfortunately I've always been right at the front to see him and never "properly" heard his guitar - seems I'm destined to always be standing!

chrishill901

I was seated at Guns N Roses in Poland and the tone was pretty spectacular 

thomasross20

Don't you mean "timbre"

Seems me and the wife are actually opting out of seeing them this time, I'm pretty shocked and more than a little disappointed with me.

I've done too many London trips this year (from South Wales) and literally just can not be bothered.

WTF? Sold out in 20 seconds!!!!!!

So much for early access for pre-ordering the album. What a joke.

Well that’s that then. I’ll guess I’ll just buy the album the old fashioned way and hope ordinary tickets last a good while longer than 20 seconds. I mean, I’ve done a string of farts longer than that!

Just read that he used the Jubilee re-issue almost exclusively for his new album. It’s in the Guitar World interview apparently. Great amp, but i know it divides opinion! Can’t wait to hear the album now

So we can expect the - what, 5th? - Slash signature amp out soon then....

There’s already a Slash version of the Jubilee, think that’s the 2555SL
