Here are the stats for the first 2 dates of Stevie's current tour, my friend w the Billboard subscription forwarded all of them to me last year as they came in, which i then would post (and, inevitably, some die-hards would reply 'all i know is there wasn't an empty seat around me, and it was WAY more full than that!) but here the totals are from him (thanks, Philly), anyway- (and it appears she was ranked #41 and #42 of the concert grosses listed this issue in Billboard)

(my notation here is that the Mohegan Sun Arena does have 10,000 seats, which has been discussed before, but for some acts (typically bands with elaborate sets) the venue doesn't sell all 10,000 seats). Seeing how the Mohegan Sun comps so many seats, it's odd they didn't comp another 215to make it a 'sell out'--- A few weeks before Stevie's show the Mohegan Sun e-mailed me with comps for (gee, thanks) Engelbert Humperdink, who, yes, was playing in the arena, and then shortly after Stevie's show, they sent me 2 comps for Kathy Griffin, which i couldn't use. I never did get offered free Stevie tickets, so maybe they didn't give comps for Stevie, after all, or did anyone here get free tickets offered via-email from the Mohegan Sun?)
