I think in light of the lack of sales at some of the Unleashed shows, and also going back to Stevie's tour that I saw in 2005, in which some shows sold poorly, I would think that promoters would be reluctant to do her shows even in Amphitheaters, much less large indoor arena's. I really believe you will see Stevie's tour in the 5 thousand or so theaters. As far as ticket prices go, and I know I'm probably dreaming here, I would think that the top price would be $100, but I'm sure it will be more. Thoughts?

The prices for the "Not a Tour" were already well in excess of $100, which could partially explain why some of the dates did not sell particularly well. Depending on the market, I think she could still pack the sheds/ampitheaters respectably. But my hunch is that she is still drunk on the easy money that comes from playing casinos. I don't think she is at the point where she would be struggling to fill a 3000-seat theatre in a major market, especially along the coasts.
I think top ticket prices for her tour next year will probably hit $150.
