everyone keeps sayin he couldnt sell out arenas.....
but selling out 5 arena shows downunder....it was kinda obvious.
who's eating humble pie now??

(u know who u r)

You know I saw Prince in Cleveland, Ohio at CSU Convention center which is a 5,000 seater.

You can get tickets at different Grocery Stores & other stores for Tickmaster type events.

well Tickets went on sale at 10 am.. I went up the the local Grocery Store at around 9:45am (or so I was a few years ago) BUT there was a HUGE LINE with maybe 20-45 people waiting for the tickets to start selling 99% of them for Prince Tickets! Now this was some nothing grocery store..

well I got up to get my tickets and the lady behind the desk said she has NEVER seen a line like this and they sell everything there WWE, Backstreet Boys,etc..

* I barely got tickets for the show, they have nose bleed seats left and they sold out in less then 30 minutes.

sooooo I have NEVER heard lately of Prince having a problem selling out the 5,000 seaters & or even when he jacked up the prices on the seats to closed to $100 per ticket.. he still sold out.


* funny thing is the "American Idol" tour isn't even in the Gund Arena in Cleveland (20,000 seats) they had to drop to the CSU (5,000 seats) and American Idol is a "New" Pop Culture Event! Damn already in the 5,000 seaters..

YOU would assume a performer who has been around for 25 years & really the last 10 years had really NO radio play, mtv promotion & or music industry push would be worrying about selling tickets.. BUT NOPE!!

When I saw Janet Jackson at the Gund it was not even half filled.. I bought the cheapest seats & before we even sat down.. They gave up seats 7 rows from the stage (upper deck) for free
