I don't want to get into the debate about the fan club..I just want to make a point about the Grand Forks show. The arena sits 20,000 people. There were probably about 12,000 tickets sold as of a week ago. Please, understand Grand Forks has about 50,000 people in the entire city. All of North Dakota has 600,000 people in it. You just are not going to sell 20,000 tickets in a market that small. In 1997 Fleetwood Mac drew a crowd of 10,000 for a show in Fargo. While I agree $125 is steep for concerts, I think the tickets sales for the other 82 dates on this tour have shown that people are willing to pay the price.
