Anecdotally I'd suggest on recent tours these venues would have been either sold out or almost sold out by now. That said, some of the later dates in November and December seem to have sold much better. Something else of note is the tickets that are still available. There are considerable numbers of floor tickets and lower tier tickets. That suggests people are still going but are far happier to just take the cheapo seats.
I think that people were waiting 'til the tour started to get some word of mouth and reviews. Now that it seems clear that the band can continue without Lindsey, even pulls out some deep cuts, so that people attending are happy with the concerts - they will sell out the later shows more likely.

Initially some of the shows weren't selling well. Now they are. I don't know what to tell you. I'm sorry this isn't working out the way you wanted it to.

I'm beginning to wonder if rumours of a hearing issue are true.

It's pretty clear to see right from wrong as the situation stands and who betrayed who. The key part being there are so many staunch SN fans who no longer worship her after her bevaiour this year....
Sweetie there is nothing objective in Secondhandchain's posts. Look at the avatar. There's a definite opinion.

Yes all of them do including Lindsey. What's your point?

Seriously, why do you keep leaving off, as has been repeatedly mentioned, the full quote? I mean, you could rearrange the words to be "It was all Stevie, you know" and remove the question mark and it has the same meaning.

I'm surprised gldstwmn is doing this as well. It obviously alters the meaning to leave off those words. It's intellectually dishonest and it's beneath her.

If the quote doesn't support your argument... change your argument. Don't change the quote.

No it doesn't. One is a statement and the other is a question. There is no context. I guess I don't understand why you can't see that. The quote I saw was from the person's social media saying "It's all Stevie?" Please show me if I am wrong. It's posted in this thread.

Oops. Here it really is:



And JMO of course but the above exchange doesn't make much sense to me.

Well, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you did not see this, then:




Looks like we both found it. Now that you see / have been reminded what the quote really is, you can still make your argument, but you can do so accurately.

After all, an argument that can't be supported by the quote in full is not a very good argument.

If I take the blame for Lindsey being gone can we all agree to stop endlessly rehashing this? Yes, I made sure Lindsey was let go after he suggested it would be "cyclical" and "organic" if the band performed in the nude. I apologize to all the fans, but I just couldn't handle the thought of those wrinkly septuagenarians prancing around and letting it all hang out on stage. (Egad, if you thought Mick's wooden balls were disturbing enough...)

Now..Lindsey seems happy enough doing his shows, the band seems happy enough doing theirs...can we just talk about the music now?
