Iconic rock band Guns N’ Roses have reportedly struggled to resell tickets for their UK tour, after headlining last year’s Glastonbury festival.
The Paradise City hitmakers announced their 2025 tour of Europe and the Middle East in early December, with just two stops in the UK: London and Birmingham.
The limited dates continue their pattern of infrequent UK gigs, with the band’s last non-festival gigs in England taking place in 2022, which saw them play two nights in Tottenham during their We’re F’N’ Back ! Route.
However, despite the rockers’ huge popularity, they have apparently had difficulty selling out tickets, as several seats, including premium seating options, are still available, according to the subway.
Tickets for the concerts, which are part of 24 dates on the European leg of the tour, went on sale on December 13 for shows at London’s Wembley Stadium and Birmingham’s Villa Park.
However, weeks later it was reported that there are still several seats available in each section of the stadiums, including premium Gold Circle VIP areas and hospitality packages.

Since tickets went on sale, some fans have taken to X, formerly known as Twitter, to complain about high ticket prices.
Complaints include: ‘My friend got us Guns N Roses tickets to Villa Park, £100 for the cheapest ones is a bit expensive.
‘Seeing that Guns n Roses tickets are truly value for money… No’
“In my case, Guns n’ Roses are coming here and I’m a big rock fan, but I won’t go because the tickets are quite expensive.”
Ticket prices start at around £89, while VIP packages go up to £935 each – and that doesn’t include meet and greets.
One music lover even took to X to share a snap of the numerous seats still available five days after tickets went on sale, suggesting this is a result of “greed”.
They wrote: “Hopefully this is a shot in the arm against ticket greed.” With a more sensible price, I have no doubt it would have sold out by now.”
However, there are many fans who bought tickets and happily shared their joy in getting tickets to see their favorite band.

Despite poor ticket sales, there are still several months before Sweet Child O’ Mine takes the stage, with the tour kicking off in May in Saudi Arabia.
He will then head to Türkiye, Spain, Italy and Germany before landing in the UK for the two dates. Then it continues in Denmark.
News of the tour comes months after Guns N’ Roses legend Slash announced that his beloved stepdaughter Lucy-Bleu Knight tragically passed away at age 25.
The iconic guitarist, 59, canceled four dates of his solo SERPENT Tour to mourn his devastating loss in July.
Slash shared the heartbreaking news that his ‘talented’ stepdaughter died on Instagram in a statement Monday morning.
He wrote: ‘Lucy-Bleu Knight (December 6, 1998), beloved daughter of Meegan Hodges and Mark Knight, stepdaughter of Samantha Somers Knight and Slash, sister of Scarlet Knight, stepsister of London and Cash Hudson, passed away peacefully in Los Angeles. , California on July 19, 2024.
‘Lucy-Bleu was an incredibly talented artist, a passionate dreamer and a lovely, lovable, sweet soul.
“The family asks for privacy at this time and requests that social media speculation be kept to a minimum as they grieve and process this devastating loss.”
The cause of Lucy’s death is unknown.
Slash first dated Lucy’s mother, Meegan Hodges, in 1989 before rekindling their relationship years later in 2015. Meegan shared his late daughter Lucy with Mark Knight.

Lucy had 35,000 followers on Instagram and reportedly worked at Electric Lady Management, the recording studio’s talent arm.
Three hours after Slash posted the announcement, a selfie of Lucy was shared on his Instagram along with a caption.
It read: ‘If I made you feel left out, manipulated/controlled you, told you to quit your day job from the comfort of having my parents’ financial support, or drowned real problems in toxic positivity, I’m sorry.
‘Countless missed opportunities and connections due to a disgustingly large ego, an insecure heart, and fear of being vulnerable. May my soul learn to evolve from my bad job of being Lucy-Bleu. Peace.’
MailOnline contacted Slash’s representatives for comment at the time.
