In a nutshell, Jason Garner, C.E.O., Live Nation says that most of the December released dates have sold out. The success of this tour gives them hope for the 2009 concert season. I have followed nearly ALL of the dates and the sales of those dates since they were initially released for sale. I have found that second tier pricing has been more beneficial for sales. Many of the first tier ($150) are still avilable. Aas we have all noticed, Ticketmaster is releasing better seats everyday.
HOWEVER... Tickets are selling.
In my opinion, this illustrates that regardless the price, THE MAC stands tall to entertain AND TO MAKE THAT MONEY!!!

Yeah, most of us read the press release last week and took it for the BS that it was. They had to spin the canceled concert & poor sales on 80% of the dates (not to mention the necessity to reduce/refund the ILAA package price) somehow. While blatently lying about the tour being a wild success was the least plausible route, granted, they really had no other choice.
