Fascinating stuff... it's finally putting data to the anecdotal discussions of ticket sales & prices we've been talking about around here for months. I have to wonder how many of the current ticket transactions were snatched up by scalpers, too... and if there will be a mad rush to dump them at a loss as shows start approaching.
I also have to wonder how much the band itself is kept in the loop about these figures- I'd have to imagine much more so than the general public. With ticket prices down 20% and an additional member added to the band, this will absolutely hit them where it hurts most- their wallets. Makes you wonder how badly Mick is sweating right now!
