no, I clearly implied there will be at least 6 sellouts. And clearly stated there are only 4 sellouts so far. You said Dallas would sell out. Birmingham is now about 95% sold.



wrong - you cannot find a pair of tickets in the 200 level in columbus - all that's left is a few scattered single seats, otherwise the expensive seats are now gone, just as I said they would be. They were down to the last couple of rows yesterday, just as I said.



They weren't working last night - must have been a glitch. And you're wrong about the benefit jam - see this thread

Prince is "The performer" - the only one.

alandail said:

Exactly. You've implied that two shows have sold out before they might have. But they might not.

alandail:

I highly doubt that.

alandail said:

Wrong. I pulled up a pair of tickets in the 200 level two hours ago.

alandail said:

Ok but it does say Prince is the Headliner. Benefit concerts always have multiple acts. Maybe they'll announce others later. But even if they don't, many people will be purchasing a ticket to help out the cause and might not be there for Prince at all.

alandail, Why do you even bother justifing yourself to this two bit dipshit who will never have anything positive to say about prince selling out these shows. No matter what you say he is going to say the opposite. Prince will in my opionion will sell out 95% of these shows. That jackass is not going to admit that he is wrong even after the shows are sold out. He is what we call a flunky, yes a freakin flunky.

TheGoldExperience said:

That's not what you said. I said the expensive seats in columbus were nearly sold out, you said:



and what you found were the last few seats in the last row of section 214. Now those are gone - the best seats you can get now are sectiopn 326, row G - the cheaper seats. The floor is sold, the 100 level seats are sold, the 200 level seats are sold, 1/3 of the 300 level seats are sold, and the 400 level seats look to be only a few rows deep.

I sit here and tell you when the seats are about to run out yet you still argue with me. Why does it bother you so much that Prince is selling so many tickets?

Bull said:

This confirms you don't have a single clue what you're talking about. And you're calling me the jackass. LOL!

Bull said:

Really? I didn't think that the second LA and Reno shows would sell out. They did. I admit I was wrong about those two.

alandail said:

Yes it is what I said.

alandail said:

Yes, now it appears that the most expensive tix are gone for this particular show.

alandail said:

This thread is about Prince's sellout shows on his upcoming Musicology tour. Prince has only sold out 4 of the 29 shows so far. IMO, he isn't selling "so many tickets". And for the one millionth time, I don't have a problem with him selling tickets.

just three comments

- I got the plaza is 2/3 of the arena from your own post - now you argue with my using that number in my estimate.

- you say you don't have a problem with Prince's selling lots of tickets, yet your own signature makes fun of lack of sales of records and you argue every single point I make.

- I just started this thread to track the shows that were selling out and talk about the ones getting close - what is so wrong with that?

Every single post you've made on this thread has been negative. Shows are selling out in multiple cities, the expensive seats are selling out in multiple additional cities. Many shows are at near capacity. Some shows are slower selling, but thus far, but overall, ticket sales are far stronger than I would have expected. Over the past few tours, Prince has played smaller and smaller places. He hasn't had a hit single in a decade. Who would have thought that he would start booking these huge arenas and start selling them out? 4 sold out, a few more getting close. Who would have thought he could sell out the staples center in 11 minutes?

And one thing is pretty certain - he's going to sell a lot of tickets next week. The publicity he's generated so far is nothing compared to what he's going to get this coming week with the rock and roll hall of fame induction (although the grammy performance had to do wonders for ticket sales thus far).

It would really do you some good if you would stop calling yourself names.
But I think dipshit is a suitable name for you. Like I said take some more special ed classes at Prince's sold-out concert.

This thread is just downright silly now.....

alandail said:

You're full of shit. Where did I say in this thread that the Value City Arena in Columbus has 2/3 of the capacity in the plaza?

alandail said:

So what? I debate with you because I think you're wrong. Am I allowed to do that?

alandail said:

Nothing is wrong with that.

alandail said:

Wrong. I'm stating my opinion. If you can't handle that, that's your problem.

alandail said:

You're making it sound like that's a lot of cities, when it's only 3.

alandail said:

Wrong.

alandail said:

It's because he's almost exclusively playing his past hits. So, it's not a surprise to me he's playing arenas.

alandail said:

I knew it would sellout and said it would before it did in another thread.

alandail said:

We'll see. I hope you're right.

alandail said:

What's your definition of selling "a lot of tickets"?

smm said:

So, you're a hypocrite and a dumbass.

softandwet said:

60?? thats quite alot, how many cities will that cover? i think aerosmiths upcoming tour hits about 38 cities. not all shows have to sellout, i think 70% plus attendance for this tour would be quite an achievement. if you have an average topping 80% i think thats amazing. im talking about prince here though.
aerosmith have toured the US ever year for about 4 years now and last tour was averaging about 80% i think, it was in the 90s but they played some places half capacity so it knocked it down compeltely. we'll see i guess![/quote]


Aerosmith sold well last year because they Toured W/ KISS!!!!! incidentally I was able to take this pic with KISS last year at Madison Square Garden:

I'm going to Bakersfield, CA to my list of shows that I feel will sellout. The reason for doing so, is that Centennial Garden is 3,000 seats smaller than I thought it was.

Aerosmith sold well last year because they Toured W/ KISS!!!!! incidentally I was able to take this pic with KISS last year at Madison Square Garden:


yeah i forgot to mention they needed kiss to boost sales after several years of hard touring. god, the furore from aerosmith fans over that concert pairing!

TheGoldExperience said:

I wasn't talking about a specific arena, I was talking about a general average



You complain about some rough estimating I do yet offer no estimates of your own. I used your own number to start my estimate. Sure, some shows, like Columbus, have less than 2/3 of the capacity in the plaza/expensive seats. It's more like 50-60% at columbus (the 400 section is kind of short), and the expensive seats did sell out. Other shows have more than 2/3 of the seats in the expensive section, so it likely averages out to a rough estimate.

And add the first vegas show to the list of sellouts - now down to scattered single seats.

How many sellouts are we up to now?

I thought KISS was only 4 queers??? what happened?????

Bull said:

5 - reno, 2 staples centers, atlanta, and 1st vegas show

What about Dallas

alandail said:

so no updates on this thread for a while! whats the sell-out count and stuff now? how have the HOF footage and the intense media coverage helped?

It looks like Raleigh is selling nicely. Lower level seats are gone.

9 minutes into the onsale at ticketmaster, for chicago, and it is already telling me they can't find 2 seats together...can anyone say 2nd night in chi-town?

SassierBritches said:

I just came off and they had section 107 on the floor available for two seats.

TheOrgerFormerlyKnownAs said:

for real!? my boyfriend and i are both getting the "sorry" message...on two seperate computers! hmm...maybe that means it is close to selling out. or t-master is just busted, lol!

Well, definitely going solo for the Chicago show. After finally getting my girlfriend to say she would go with me (after she saw the RRHOF show last night), I couldn't get 2 tickets together...so I just got 1 for me. I hate to be selfish but I am going to this show, that is all I care about.

I figure I can try again for 2 tix if they add another show or just head to the Milawukee show.

*****So to all Chi-town orgers...post to where you'll be meeting up before the show, I am gonna need some company!

SassierBritches said:

They are having a second show for Chicago. It's already almost sold out. I kinda figured there would be a second show.

Pagey said:

I have no idea where we are gonna be Pagey but I really would like to meet up. We are gonna show up early to get in the will call line and then probably grab something to eat nearby.
