Every Friday, Off The Record looks to other Milwaukee publications (and beyond) for bits of news we missed throughout the week.
• You know where Guns N’ Fucking Roses are going to be Tuesday, November 7? They’re going to be at the BMO Harris Bradley Center, baby. They’re gonna die.

Tickets range from $59.50 to $250, and will go on sale July 28 at 10 a.m. at the Bradley Center box office. You can also pick them up by calling (800) 745-3000, or by visiting ticketmaster.com. A limited number of presale tickets will be available July 27 at noon with the code “COMEBACK.” [Milwaukee Journal Sentinel]
