Ticket Sales/Filling venues

[TheWildHeart67]

How full was the venue in Phoenix last night?
What's the capacity?
Seems like Stevie's selling more seats this tour vs the IYD tour.
Please post info as the tour progresses.

[TheWildHeart67]

The arena in Phoenix holds close to 18,000, and according to a review in the news, it was almost sold-out. Not bad!

All the Stevie haters are like, 'Rats! She filled he venue, did a different set list, did songs she's never done... nothing for me to complain about!' :nod:

Go pee on someone else's corn flakes, haters!

I'm so proud of Stevie.

I'm very proud of her too, Jamie. I had the chance to stream most of the show and it was truly remarkable how happy she was. I know she's second guessed all the time by some of FM fans, but it's obvious that she has no agenda here, she's simply doing what she loves most and she's doing it well.

As for the original question, this picture shows it was packed (http://24-karat-gold-tour.tumblr.com/post/152339338781/24-karat-gold-tour-opening-night-in-phoenix-az).

[BlueLight]

Agreed all around. I was so overwhelmed watching the stream last night, and all I could think was, if only she could've done this when 24KG first came out! Truly beyond excited for this tour, and so glad that she seems so incredibly happy and excited as well! :blob1:

Yes, very proud of Stevie and looking forward to Columbia. VERY thankful to wonderful Ledgies who uploaded videos and information. Thank you all.

Ditto to this! Sadly I won't be able to see Stevie this time around (no shows near me and my job makes it impossible to travel to any), so I'm enjoying all the info and video shared.

I'm dying that she's doing Crying in the Night and especially Bella Donna and Wild Heart (the two songs that I go back and forth between for title of my very favorite).

Enjoy the upcoming shows and keep the info coming, Ledgies!

(Also ditto to the comments being proud of Stevie! )

I wish this tour wasn't so short. It's pretty special. For gods sake, come to Columbus Ohio. Surely Chrissie would like to visit family in Ohio.

[STEVEHEDRICK]

sorry but this is the last time I will see Stevie live, two shows lincoln and vegas, no more same old set lists from fleetwood I would rather see her solo, just my preference! i will go see her again if she does more solo shows, so two this tour is my end.

It is nice to be amongst friends here. My disappointment with this board was pretty deep over the last 3 or 4 months. So much negativity from a lot of folks directed at Stevie because she is doing what she has done since the beginning of the 1980s with Fleetwood Mac. She is taking some time for her solo career. It keeps FM off the road for a time but it also, in my opinion, has helped keep peace in the band. I appreciate how everyone here shares information freely and keeps us all informed of recent goings on. I thank each and every one of you for that. I cannot wait until my show on 11/2. I am so psyched to hear some of these songs live for the very first time. Peace out!!

Exactly! This has been going on for 35 years. Nothing has changed. Nothing will. Stevie will go back and record with Fleetwood Mac in her own time. It WILL happen. It's just a question of "when" at this point.

In regards to the negativity, I've now vowed to just keep posting on the Stevie board ONLY and stay away from the Rumours forum from here on out. You can't express any sort of opinion over there without someone jumping down your throat because of it. :laugh:

Denver tonight!!! Can't wait! :wavey::woohoo:

[STEVEHEDRICK]

denver will rock! post the set list! hope she drops enchanted!

I guess I will skip the corn flakes this morning .LOL. I agree Jamie.I'm proud of Stevie too .I've been saying this forever on this board .Some here are forgetting that we are so lucky that we can see our favorite artists or band still out there working and NOT DEAD or cripple. like some others God bless Stevie and the Mac.

[Macfanforever]

She's probably pulling alittle more tix sales in with the Pretenders.This is giving the Pretenders fans a chance to go see them live and get a taste of Stevie at the same time.Stevie would have no problem filling these venues if by herself.I have to give her credit at the edge of 70 that she still going strong like a will maintained Mack truck.God bless her.

[sorcerer999]

I have to give her credit at the edge of 70 that she still going strong like a well maintained Mack truck.God bless her.

I am so jealous. Enjoy yourself and keep us posted if anything changes!!

Since this tour is selling so well, why not add more shows. They need to expand it.

[jkmaletic]

Yesterday I officially started worrying about getting good seats for my show (the last, 12/18 LA). I don't believe there's been any "ticket drops" so far. Unless anyone here has seen any? :shrug:

Seconding this question... I have some tickets but I'm hoping better seats will turn up!

Would she really though? This is her first real arena tour since RAL. Since then her tours have mostly been mid-sized theatres with a few arenas here and there. I'd say The Pretenders are a big reason for the increase in venue size.

[TsnFan4Ever]

Jamie,

Tickets for the LA show are ridiculously priced. I bought my ticket the first day of presale and was hoping for a price drop so I could get a better seat. With the Pretenders audience and rave reviews Stevie has been getting, it might not happen (especially for the last show),

You might want to get something now (there were some for around $100) so you don't miss it.

Hope to see you there!

Well I'm willing to spend up to 500 a seat, but I want them to be in the first seven rows, center section. That appears to be too little for LA, at least right now. I'll probably end up buying some StubHub tickets later after the prices fall down. It's truly amazing how ridiculous the prices are for LA versus for example today's show in Tampa there are tickets in the third row being sold for around 250!

I tend to agree. And I'm almost as excited to see them as Stevie. Well, not really LOL but I'm still excited. I was a big Pretenders fan back in the early 80's. Those songs, especially from Get Close, really bring back memories.

[Nathan]

I'll make a private deal on my second row ticket to Sacramento. I can't afford to go to this thing, what was I thinking.

[bwboy]

I think with the holidays in December, adding more dates would be impossible at this point, unless they waited until January to resume the tour.

[TsnFan4Ever]

I really wanted to get a VIP ticket for LA but they seem to have gone right into platinum/ resale market. Last time I looked, the front section was selling for over $1500/seat and they were in blocks of seats. Even the section where I'm sitting were being sold for over $500 so I guess I should feel fortunate but I've never been so far away for a FM or Stevie show before.

It is very frustrating seeing the disparity in availability and pricing. I could have bought second row center in Phoenix but couldn't get the time off from work. That show would have been so amazing--both because it was opening night but also because seeing her in AZ has always been special.

Plan B: maybe some of the Pretenders audience will leave after their show and we can move up?

[BigBigLove]

I wish this tour wasn't so short. It's pretty special. For gods sake, come to Columbus Ohio. Surely Chrissie would like to visit family in Ohio.

I heard she did go back to Ohio, but her family was gone (sorry, I couldn't resist). :lol:

Mohegan Sun was completely sold out. There were at least 50 to 100 people waiting for some kind of ticket drop around 6:45pm. As far as I know nothing ever came up. The arena holds about 10,000. Even the staff seemed completely shocked on how many people were waiting in line. It was like this was the hottest show in town. For a moment I thought it was 1983 again.
This is a far cry from the tour with Don Henley where they were actually giving away tickets in Mansfield, MA. I'm not sure if the casino had any comp tickets. There was no line for the pickup window. Just a huge line to purchase them.
At the end of the show Stevie said that she would be back again because they always play here. Not sure if she meant solo or with Fleetwood Mac. She did extremely well with this show. I'm happy for her.

I'm amazed at how many Stevie fans there must be in Connecticut... I am from Connecticut and considered going to Mohegan Sun but it was too expensive so I decided to attend the Madison Square Garden show instead. Still, I was very tempted to see if I could get last minute tickets to Mohegan the other night... I'm glad I resisted the urge now!! But all the clips I've seen show a totally packed house... Very glad for Stevie at least!

It LOOKS like it holds 10,000 seats, that's for sure. But past sell outs in there with SN or FM were listed as a little over 6,000 seats sold in the Billboard Boxscores. My seats were in the center section on the floor and I was surprised to see many empty seats in several rows behind me at anytime that I turned around to look behind me. I also entered the venue at around the same time you did but never felt there were too many people waiting to buy tickets or waiting in line to get in.

It is interesting to me how two different viewpoints are shared for the same evening. This reminds me of a conversation that will be related onward in 2 different ways.

[McDoobler]

I was at tonight's show at the palace, it seemed like a pretty packed venue. I'm not sure if it was sold out
