GPN management hasnt publicly said anything about this all they did was remove a post/thread on their forum.  I got the info from a very reliable source pr/social media outlet in New York, and Ive shared those pages on my Facebook and Twitter. They have never been off on this stuff in the past and until I hear an update from the promoter/venue (Rolling Stone) i will assume there is some confusion on the band's end of things.

Not saying its a free for all come one, come all type of thing...the place obviously has a max capacity (600 ish), much of that occupied by industry insiders, so availability is def limited...but it sure appears to be a regular PR event just like the Artist Den show in 2010, or even VH1 Storytellers-soliciting RSVP's by email.  in the case of VH1 Storytellers it is the same pr/media outlet soliciting those RSVP's...
