thats cool man, so has the HOF significantly increased ticket sales? looks like, hopefully, this tour could sellout alot more than i originally though ti would! especially if the album is good and does well in april to boost sales abit more. plus good reviews from gigs will persuade others to go when they read em. ooh exciting!

alandail, your the man. Thanks for the post.

I think it's a combination - the hall of fame seems to be boosting ticket sales at shows that were already on sale - and several large market arenas went on sale just this week.

Just checked a couple of places again.

8/17 - Boston - Sold Out

and these two are getting close

4/29 - Birmingham, AL
7/13 - New York


note - for sell outs, I didn't check to see if you can still get single seats, only that the pairs of seats are gone, so there may still be a few scattered single seats left at some of the these 10 sellout shows and counting.

Thanks for the info. I am so happy for Prince.

New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, LA & Boston are selling better than I expected, which is cool. But it's important to note that there's around 30 shows that haven't sold out.

There is no doubt in my mind that the closer the tour gets to each city, the more cities will sell out. Boston already sold , Phila will sell out by the end of tomorrow, and the 2nd New york show is close to selling out already. As the buzz gets closer to each city 80 to 90% of them will sell out in my opionion.

about the 2nd St Paul show...

today as I was bored and seeing how tix were going, all I could get all day was cheap seats in the upper deck...

right now though, I pulled tix in the 11th row of the 1st level (top price)

when I searched for 1 seat, I got a floor ticket in the 4th row...

for the floor, I'm wondering if the NPGMC released back unneeded tix and so those are pulling now

but I'm confused why suddenly there are decent seats on the 1st level again.... weirdness

Just saw the single is released to radio (and I assume video) monday. Also, lots of articles on the album/tour popping up this evening. usatoday, cnn, billboard, etc. Watch ticket sales pick up as radio starts playing the song and talking about the tour.

hey, I started the thread, I think in doing so my first post determines what the thread is about. Tracking both shows that sold out and shows where the expensive seats sold out. I'll take he 2nd Xcel show off of the second list since more seats opened up.

Well he's finally on top of the HOT TICKETS in THE USA section.....
