GUNS N' ROSES: Korean Ticket Sales Break Records

November 17, 2009

Kim Hyung-eun of JoongAng Daily reports that GUNS N' ROSES' will visit Seoul next month for its first gig in Korea.

While some music fans might categorize the group as yet another ho-hum act way past its prime — the band has been around for 24 years, after all — the concert organizer sees it in a different light.

Access Entertainment, which is behind the show, said in a press release that of all the foreign rock bands it has helped bring to town in the past, none have enjoyed as much attention as GUNS N' ROSES. Officials believe that the concert will prove to be a satisfying experience for both the older generation that idolized the group in the 1990s as well as the younger generation that has discovered GN'R relatively recently.

"Tickets sales have already broken records set by other successful concerts we organized earlier in the year, like the LADY GAGA show this August," Yvette Moon, a manager at Access Entertainment, said on Monday.
