“Each of the tickets sold for Guns N’ Roses in 2020 will be used for the concert in 2022″

Patience is what they asked for Guns N’ Roses in one of his classic eighties songs. And patience, a lot of patience, is what the band’s followers have shown to have them back in these lands after their concert on March 24, 2020 was canceled a few days after its completion, due to the arrival of COVID- 19 to Peru. It seems like a distant date, but it happened almost two years ago.

long awaited concert

The truth is that the wait is over, because the group of Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan finally confirmed on their social networks that it will be presented on Saturday, October 8 at the San Marcos Stadium, to resume the tour that was interrupted by the pandemic. A show that will surely serve to distill accumulated energy and for many it will be a reunion with the mega-concerts that they missed so much.

Ramón Larrea, representative of the One Entertainment company, which organizes the show, points out that there are three reasons to highlight this Guns N’ Roses concert. “First of . Second, to have the San Marcos Stadium It will allow us to welcome more than 50,000 people. And third, that this will be the only stadium show in 2022 for a rock concert.”, assures the businessman. “Because there’s also coldplaybut that’s pop”, he clarifies.

Also, the band’s songs like “Welcome to the Jungle”, “Sweet Child O’ Mine” and “November Rain” will be accompanied by the Mexican group Molotov, who will be in charge of opening the show. That is, rock classics twice.

About returns and exchanges

Beyond the musical, not everything has been pleasant in these two years of waiting for the concert. Just a few days ago, Indecopi reported that it had initiated an administrative sanctioning procedure against the company One Entertainment for allegedly failing to return the money from the tickets for the canceled (and today rescheduled) Guns N’ Roses and Kiss shows.

Along these lines, Larrea assures that “each of the tickets sold for the 2020 concert will be used to attend the concert on October 8”. “That means we have about 32,000 tickets left to sell, which may not be enough for Guns N’ Roses.”, affirms the organizer. Furthermore, One Entertainment has already arranged for those who take advantage of the return modality or other benefits can do so through Teleticket, company in charge of managing the tickets.

“No one imagined that all this would happen and it has been tremendously difficult for us –says Larrea about the suspension of the show–. not just because; but because of the cost of our image, since in many cases people did not understand that this was not our negligence, but a case of force majeure”.

While the administrative process in Indecopi continues its course, hopefully with solutions for the good of all involved, the truth is that Guns N’ Roses will finally arrive in Lima and that will always be a good sign that we are recovering that long-awaited normality. So be it.
