PS

I heard on the radio (102.9 WMGK) that Stevie will be in Philly sometime in early/mid June! that means two (or more) really close dates for us around here!

yeah, I had front row for that right in front of Waddy!

I have a feeling she will play the Sovereign Performing Arts Center this time around and not the Sovereign Center...

Daniel's site says April 18th for the Reading,PA show but no venue or onsale date yet

EDIT:
I just went to the Sovereign Center's website and they say that it IS at the Sovereign Center and NOT the Perf Arts Center:

Ticket prices: $97, $67, $55

Tickets go on sale Saturday, February 9 at 10 a.m.

:blob1: :blob2: Yesh!! I shall be reunited with my mullet-wearing sistahs at long last! Oh, how I miss Reading after all these years. :p Thanks for the heads up!

I would say that a date at Mohegan Sun and/or the Borgata is almost inevitable after this...

OMG! I am so there...I am also wondering what the presale password is. How the heck do you get it?

I e-mailed John Kinney...hopefully he'll have some info. It's not even on Nicksfix yet. I just talked to my partner in crime (my Stevie/Lindsey concert bud) and we both think it's kinda strange that this is the only date and it's so random...wonder what's going on??

Nope...unless I've missed it. I just checked again. Nothing. It's not showing up on Pollstar either. It's the only show listed for her on Ticketmaster's site too. This is just strange...

Not really... Not for the nicksfix, they are usually the last to know. I'm sure though the week, more info will be released. Who knows... Maybe it's just a short spring stint in April.

I'm guessing this will be a full-blown tour again, promoting the Soundstage thing. I agree that more info, and dates, will be released throughout this week and next week. I'm betting the west coast shows will go on sale next week.

The current listed venue holds 9,000 (not sure if that includes the floor, or if that's just for a hockey game). Anyway, that's a pretty big venue. Has anyone seen Stevie there before? Was it set up "half-house" style where only half the venue was used? I'm trying to get an idea of venue sizes she will be doing this time around. (I'm hoping for smaller) ;). A dream come true would be House of Blues! :thumbsup:

I don't know, I just don't see Stevie doing yet another full-scale, CV-esce tour again, just to promote a Soundstage DVD with a slightly different set-list. Unless the accompanying CD that she was recording in Nashville with Joe Thomas has some new tracks on it. If it's only for the DVD, and nothing "new", it may just be a short stint, like 10 shows or so, but i guess we just have to wait until more dates are released.

GardenStateGirlie

02-04-2008, 10:48 PM

in response to just this date being known and speculation of further dates in the area...i would say it's probably likely that there is more than one concert producer for this tour. i know the reading, pa date is being produced by livenation. i would suspect if stevie performs at the tweeter or the wachovia center, it will also be produced by livenation.

i also know that 102.9 wmgk will be giving away tickets for the aforementioned concert in the near future.

The CV tour was full scale? The original tour itinerary was only a month long. It was the smallest tour shes ever done. All the other dates that trickled after were not part of the original tour. Im sure it will be exactly like the CV tour. Waddy already said there would be more touring this year. Shes trying to bang out as much as she can before FM calls her back.

IMO, the CV tour was extensive for what it was, a greatest-hits tour with a few changes from the Gold Dust Tour set-list (also a best-of tour), so for what it was worth, i thought it was a bit long.

I thought it was too short. She actually had something to promote and barely did 20 shows for it. I mean the Gold Dust tour was longer and she had nothing out. I don't know...apples and oranges I suppose. Just hoping she comes back to MA!

Nope, Mama done filled the Sovereign Center to capacity last time for TISL. Endstage setup with a full floor. I was very, very proud of her that night- and I think she was very happy at the capacity crowd as well.

To be honest, I really hope that she stays off the road this year and works in the studio... on something. Anything. But then again... maybe we just need to learn to accept that the pendulum has swung fully into oldies act :distress: and just appreciate her for just being out there working. Oh, how I miss the words "This is a song from the new album..."

I called Sovereign Center and they have no information about the presale (she told me to check with the Fan Club LOL) and no information about an opening act. They seemed as clueless as I am.

Anyone having any luck coming up with a password for Thursday?

She was the first performer to play there after the Sovereign Center opened. 9/8/01. You're right, she sold it out.

WildHeart69

02-05-2008, 09:27 PM

Yeah, she sold out the Sovereign Center as its Premier Act....but I really dont think that sales will be through the roof for this one...(I REALLY hope I am wrong though!)

main reason: Scranton show last summer didnt even sell out of the reserved seating and let everyone in the lawn seats move into one of the Reserved seats!! EVERYONE! it was pathetic and I felt really bad... she didnt even sell out the Tweeter Center with Chris Issak (They upgraded many people in the lawn from that one too)

Like I said, I really hope I am wrong, but most acts are in the Performing Arts Center lately ie, Heart, Billy Idol, Pat Benatar, etc but we will see

The most fantastic double bill ever would be Heart opening for Stevie Nicks. They'd prolly sell out all the big buildings then.

I really hope some more dates pop up in the next few days. I'd be much more into trying to get to Reading if I knew it was the only area date, but knowing that AC/NYC/CT could pop up is making me hesitate going for this.

WMGK in philly said that she was coming to the Philly Area in early to mid JUNE...so I think there is a full blown tour ready to pop any day now...they cant hold out the dates much longer

They never toured together but there's a live recording of a Todd Rundgren show where Stevie and Ann Wilson sang on "Hello It's Me".

I pulled up Section 115. Cant even get good seats with a presale anymore. How disappointing.

Thank God a friend is biting her nails right now getting us seats...this would drive me nuts!

I only pulled up 10th row in Sect 1 and 3... I dont think so... I had 10th row for the Stevie/Don show at the Wachovia ceter in Philly and I didnt realize how far 10th row actually is when you are used to being in 1-3...I can't go back to double digits!

Ok, so the double letters are the front of the section? :confused: I had floor 1 row JJ seats 2 & 3 come up. I know 2 & 3 are at the farthest edge but I wasn't sure about the double letters. I also pulled up set 103 row D, but I didn't know which side the seat numbers started on, so I threw them back. I'll probably regret that one!

Oh, well, this way I'll know what I'm looking for Saturday!!

Yeah, it looks like it. According to this ticket broker (http://www.coasttocoasttickets.com/buy/defleppard_tickets.htm?pid=760527) (for a Def Leppard concert a few weeks before Stevie's), Floor 2 AA are the best seats in the house.

Section 103 JJ isn't too bad, just right of the stage. It sounds like you're about 10 rows up. It's hard to tell what 103 D is...it may in the front row rafters on the side of the stage (the unlabeled beige section).

I tend to only "scope out" presales, because they never usually end well (unless you are looking for single seats...)

I saw Stevie at the Sov. Center when she opened it during her TISL tour and we had the same row in the same section only our seats were 5&6 for that show and 7&8 for this one...I thought that was pretty cool! Only we got those seats last time by being at a Ticketmaster outlet at 6am for a lottery (which I thankfully drew the first number for!). This time around was surprisingly stress-free compared to most ticket debacles I (and all of us) usually encounter.
