From #3 to #18
Fleetwood Mac's summer tour ranked at #18 (Grossing 15.4 mill) in the best selling tours of 2004 list...a big difference in their #3 spot on last year's list...was the 2004 tour a bad idea for them , or does it not really matter? What do u all think?
Excerpt from one article on hitsdailydouble.com :
"Among those tours doing less well to bombing are Fleetwood Mac, Jessica Simpson, Norah Jones, Gloria Estefan and the American Idol tour.
Ticket sales for veterans Aerosmith and Clapton, as well as the Linkin Park/Korn/Snoop Dogg jaunt are disappointing in a few markets. The second leg of the Simon & Garfunkel tour, now hitting second-tier cities after having played New York, L.A., Chicago and other major markets, is having a difficult time selling what, in some venues, is a $500 top ticket.
----
I personally don't think it's Fleetwood Mac, or people losing interest...it is IMO simply that they have hit many of these markets a few times already in under a year, and that is a high price to pay more than once to casual fans...
