Wow. I wonder if Elton and Bette Midler gross more or less than Cher when they perform at Caesar's. Wonder how Stevie did in comparison when she was there.
I am surprised that Anita Baker is that high up. I didn't know she could attract a crowd like that. I guess I just thought she fell by the wayside after Rapture. Michele |

I suspect even Celine would be playing half-empty shows in this economic climate, so I think Cher is doing exceptionally well, all things considered. I suspect Bette is seeing some empty seats too. |

Stevie Nicks is a huge draw. Without her there would be no FM. Just sayin!

I'm surprised they didn't show both Rosemont shows combined in that total. They usually do that if there's multiple dates at one venue one right after the other.

Without a doubt! They would still be up Europe's creek without a paddle.

All right already. Congrats on your opinion. Move on.

This is true. But, methinks that no one involved (FM/Live Nation/venue) wanted to acknowledge that only ~4500 tickets were purchased (including the discounted ones) to the Friday show.

Generally speaking, the tour appears to be running at 60-65% capacity... and that's even with the deep discounted/unpublished ticket prices for almost all the dates.

Azoff built this deal and if Live Nation does not want to admit mediorce sales then too bad...However the band is doing just fine. Their guarantees are substantial considering the current economic climate and competition for the entertainment dollar. Live Nation may be taking a beating, but Stevie, Lindsey, Mick & John are doing just fine with this tour.

If I remember correctly FM sold more tickets this time around in Pittsburgh than they did on the SYW tour so I am sure they are doing good. Billboard updates this list every week so it will be interesting to watch the numbers from week to week. Not sure why they are about 3 weeks behind though.

hey thanks for posting that, i didnt realize they sold more tickets in 2003 here in pittsburgh but after thinking about it that makes perfect sense. i remember on the syw tour they sold seats behind the stage and this time the whole section behind the stage was empty. it makes sense though since there is no way you would have been able to see anything from back there anyway. |

It has always bugged me that Caesar's claimed those 2005 shows were "sell outs".
Um, no. There were lots of empty seats in the upper sections. Much of the floor were comps. I think she did ok, but not as well has she had hoped. A semi permanent residency was something she seemed to really want at the time.
