This is an exciting time to be a Aerosmith fan. We haven't been able to say that for a while I'm afraid I don't see it this way. I was excited all the way up to Vegas. Now this tour has been announced and, for the first time ever, it did nothing for me, just left me cold. I hope everyone else enjoys it though. I would have killed for another batch of euro shows before they started doing the Vegas ones... now I wished I cared, but the reality is that, for some reason, I don't. I can't. Really. I'm well pleased with 2 arena shows in England since they've just done 1 in 22 years |

Really. I'm well pleased with 2 arena shows in England since they've just done 1 in 22 years They played one show in their entire career in Romania. No point in splitting them in arena or festival shows, it's 1 in total. So I got even less so far. It's not about this. It's how rich people focused Vegas has been. It's how rich people focused the Vampires packages for 2020 are. I just don't have a hope for these shows being any different. I had a great time seeing them before. Berlin in 2017 was absofuckinlutely amazing. Hangman Jury was still haunting me the next day. I'm afraid of ruining the good times I've had to go to a show I can't afford anyway and where I'll feel I have no business of being anyway. I don't need this. I cried my eyes out over this in the hotel room after the Vampires show last year. The band, they were fucking amazing. But to be around people who discuss their luxury car collections... you know, I don't often feel bad about myself. But that night I did. I don't want that again. |

But to be around people who discuss their luxury car collections... you know, I don't often feel bad about myself. But that night I did. I don't want that again. I think you should reconsider this as EU shows are arguably much cheaper than the US ones where the band is from. Arenas and festivals usually have GA tickets, I'm sure those won't be more expensive than 80/100 euros which are reasonable prices for today's standards and for such a legendary act. What becomes expensive is travel if your favourite artists don't play in a city near you. Italy is widely neglected but not for ROCK, we organise massive festivals and despite higher fees we manage to book big artists. If you go for the M&G and VIP well then don't expect that to come cheap. I personally think it's pointless as the guys are usually kind to fans if you manage to get into them. If I had the money? Probably I would buy a M&G, if there's a market for that why not. As long as I can enjoy the concert. That's what artists are for, not pictures. And I honestly don't care about their car collection or other fans' bank accounts. Again as long as we're all in for the music let's have fun! |

I want to be in the front row. I NEED to be in the front row. For multiple reasons. I've done the being further back (not at Aerosmith concerts) twice and it was never a good experience. So if I'm not guaranteed that being in the front row depends solely on me, I'm not going to spend this sort of money. I haven't seen anything for Aerosmith yet, but for the Vampires there are the regular front of stage tickets. Quite pricey at around 100€, which is a third of what I make in the normal good month. Then there are no M&G VIP upgrades (ticket NOT included), which contain early entry IF possible and I've seen are anywhere between 210€ and 315€. So... if I just go for Golden Circle, and the VIP upgrade people get in early, my not at all cheap experience has gone to shit. If I buy a VIP upgrade and early entry is not possible, I've just spent the kind of money that can make the difference between life and death for me... on nothing! So it's pretty much...  And yes, if I had any guarantees, I would go into my lifetime savings, I'd eat once every two weeks, I'd scrape the money. And not just for one show. Done it before and I'd do it again IF I had that certainty of whether the VIP upgrade guarantees early entry or not. Aerosmith tickets were well over 100€ in 2017 and I expect them to be even more expensive this time around. Also, I don't care about other fans car collections or bank accounts. Which is why I'd very much appreciate if I didn't hear about it, if I didn't have it shoved it my face. But I can't exactly control what other people talk about. What am I going to do, take off my boots and shove them down their throats? Don't get me wrong, I would love to, I've actually visualised myself doing that inside my mind... but I'm afraid I'd get into trouble if I actually did it. |

Looks like a massive “golden circle” at the O2 in London to push people to pay more for the upgrade  Attachments:

"Looks like a massive “golden circle” at the O2 in London to push people to pay more for the upgrade " thats something to keep in mind when you buy tickets. especially if youre at the venue and just want a GA floor ticket quickly and go in. i Think it was in lod poland 2014 at the Aerosmith Concert there when i got a GA floor ticket. i was happy and got in. but there was two areas there and my area was damit at the very back of the arena. it felt like 90% of the GA floor ticket area was golden ring. and there was much space at the golden ring area. i was stucked at the back with masses of people and to all this shit on the first 2-3 songs some polish photographers sat on the fence infront of all of us at this area , and blocked our view. people were angry til they finally left. but still..it was great sound there...and you could still enjoy it very very much. it afterwards felt like a very enjoyable Concert. i cant really say if i had enjoyed it more if being closer. but yeah...feel like Money milking big time blobbing the golden ring. they Think something like : if they dont come to the golden ring we bring golden ring to them. people go buy some extra tickets and sell later. dont know which shows ill see but maybe have to buy one ticket at the venue. 02 London i Think ill be there. but ticket in advance? i dont know  |

First row is clearly the most convenient but you're still close enough in 2nd or 3rd. Don't overthink that and try to have fun. |

Don't overthink that and try to have fun. I'm not overthinking it. It's simple: I'm not in the front row, I'm not going to last through the show without passing out. I just can't stand in one spot for long without starting feeling dizzy (which was a good thing when it forced my parents to stop taking me to church because I always started seeing spots and had to go out anyway). I'm also only 1.67m and it's crammed in front, which means my nose will be stuck in someone's sweaty back or hair, which makes it even worse because it's harder to breathe. Close enough is NOT good enough. It's either first row or I won't make it too far into the not cheap at all show. It's kinda hard to have fun when you can barely see anything through the spots and barely hear anything over the buzzing in your ears. Do any of those options guarantee getting in the first row is entirely up to me? No. I can queue and run, but it may still not be down to that. |

Presale starts this morning I’m looking for one golden circle standing ticket for London 👍🏻 Sorry all 4 are taken. 3 for me and 1 for a mate who's never seen them! There's a O2 presale on Wednesday. Even if you don't have a O2 phone get someone who has. They just need to send a text and give you the code 👍 |
