GUNS N' ROSES - Every Coachella Reunion Show Ticket Reportedly Bought By The Kardashians For 3.2 Million Dollars

The reunion of Guns N’ Roses, now being confirmed by two sources, leaves Axl Rose and Slash chasing $100 million – to start with, reports Forbes.com. It comes after weeks of speculation. The singer and guitarist will share a stage to perform for the first time since 1993. The duo will patch up their differences to headline Coachella and they are expected to play other stadiums at dates still to be announced.

The Daily Bro has since posted the following report:

"Only a few hours after the landmark announcement was made by Billboard claiming they have confirmed the Guns N' Roses reunion, fans hoping to see the monumental event will be denied the opportunity... unless they're in good with the Kardashian family.

Guns N' Roses are scheduled to take the stage with Axl Rose and Slash performing together for the first time since 1993 -- at Coachella.

The Kardashian / Jenner family have always attended the popular Coachella music festival every year. The family expressed security concerns and the purchase of every ticket would allow them to enjoy the show 'without any disturbances.' 

A spokesperson for Coachella said that they could not confirm the identity of the person who purchased every ticket to the festival. 'We're excited for Guns N' Roses to perform on the Coachella stage, even if it's for an exclusive group of privileged, important guests.'

The Kardashian / Jenner family announced that fans could be entered into a contest to win tickets to the event if they could pass a 100 test about Kim Kardashian. Once the fan completes the test, they must pay $50 per year to join her fan club. Once the transaction is complete, fans will be entered into a lottery based contest to get to see Guns N' Roses reunite."

A source close to BraveWords issued a brief comment when this news first surfaced: 

"And here's the problem with that nonsense. No one at Coachella has made any public comment and won't until next week. Everyone involved has signed NDAs (non-disclosure agreements)."

In any case, the reunion news is breaking after industry sources said the possibility of dates was being actively pursued. While stadia are sometimes booked with the band name not being immediately obvious, any concert tour involves arranging insurance and logistics so little can stay under wraps before there are leaks.

Axl Rose will appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday next week to address the talk about the classic Guns N' Roses lineup getting back together, reports RollingStone.com.

Multiple sources confirmed Rose's Kimmel appearance to Rolling Stone, but declined to reveal the specific nature of his announcement or taping date. Rose previously appeared on Kimmel's late-night show in 2012, which marked his first live interview in 20 years.

Rumors of the classic lineup's reunion were sparked first when Slash told CBS This Morning in May of this year that the "tension ... has dissipated" between Rose and him. "We don't have all those issues anymore," he said. "There's not a lot of controversy. It's something that's more perpetuated by the media than anything." In an interview with Sweden's Aftonbladet in August, Slash admitted that he and Rose were able "to dispel some of that negative stuff that was going on for so long." However, Slash refused to comment on whether the thaw in his relationship with Rose would result in a GN'R reunion.

According to Billboard, Guns N’ Roses, with founding members Axl Rose and Slash, will headline the Coachella Music & Arts Festival in Indio, CA, set for April 15th-17th and April 22nd-24th 2016. The reunited band is also negotiating with promoters to play as many as 25 football stadiums in North America in the summer of 2016, and is scheduled to be one of the first acts to play the new Las Vegas Arena, set to open April 6th. Sources say Guns N’ Roses is said to be asking as much as $3 million per show, with tickets topping out in the $250-$275 range.

This past weekend, reports began circulating that fans who went to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens in cinemas were unexpectedly treated to a brief trailer featuring the Guns N' Roses classic “Welcome To The Jungle” being played over black-and-white crowd footage prior to the biggest movie of the year.

The aforementioned trailer can be seen below:
