Guns N' Roses Asking $3 Million A Show For Potential Tour

With Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan already confirmed to be part of the lineup when Guns N' Roses takes the stage as headliners at Coachella, the next big thing on fans' mind is the potential nation-wide tour they'll be venturing on afterwards.

This will mark the first time that Axl will share the stage with Slash and Duff since their last show in Buenos Aires on July 17th, 1993. The involvement of GNR's other two founding members Izzy Stradlin and Steven Adler remains uncertain, though they have been rumored to be in negotiations to play as many as 25 stadiums in North America this summer. Guns N' Roses is said to be asking for $3 Million per show with ticket prices maxing out in the $250 to $275 range.

Even though the GNR reunion is on every promoter's radar, Rose's new lineup of the band has been in operation since 2001. In 2012, the band's agent Ken Fermaglich managed to secure a successful residency at The Joint in Las Vegas in honor of the 25th anniversary of Appetite For Destruction. The residency went so well that a review in â€‹The Hollywood Reporter said that Rose, "sang the bejesus out of all the hits," saying that he "was an entertainer so charming, you'd never know he had the reputation of an asshole."

The band's former manager, Don McGhee, who managed the band from 2010 to 2012 said in regards to a reunion tour that, "If it's done right, it should do amazing [business]. If they have their s**t together and go out there to kill, I think everybody comes to see them. If not, they'll have a tough time selling it."
