Henley/Nicks Tour Update

[MacMan]

On Milwaukee... Look over to the right hand side and it says Stevie Nicks / Don Henley.

Hmmmm.... I wonder if this date is it for the Philly area. Friday night is a bad night around Philly, work traffic, the Phillies are playing at home that night; it'll definitely be a traffic nightmare. I don't know if hubby will go for this.

I think that Kansas city and denver could easily fit inbetween Chicago and NEw Orleans. Lets hope for more info! WHOOO!

So there I am.... sitting at work... casually checking out the Ticketmaster site... when

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Toronto comes up!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was SO not expecting that!!! But I am SO happy!! She's coming back to my city!!! I was ready to bust out all over. I'm still just stunned!!

(Now, how far is Hershey? Milwaukee?? Okay, now I'm getting greedy. BUT I'M SO HAPPY!! I don't feel as bad about missing Vegas now.)

I AM happy for all you guys who couldn't do Vegas that these dates are happening.
What the hell is going on with how they are being released though? No official word..just trickling out with little to NO press. When Mac tickets were onsale in Philly..it was pushed heavily on the radio. I heard ONCE that Stevie was coming to Philly this summer but the same station also said the Mac was coming in the summer of 06.
Not a word on the Fix or FM.com or anything. This smacks of a smaller promotor or something. If I did not frequent this board, I would have NO idea tickets for my two shows go onsale this Saturday. I am really curious to see how these shows sell...how long before we get some of that infor? do we have to wait until AFTER the gigs to figure out if it was a successful venture? I guess someone somewhere probably sees how the venues are selling when tickets go onsale.
They must because the brokers have been RAISING their prices for Vegas and it appears that no tickets have sold, ie , they still have the same damn seats they had a month ago. I called and the dude told me it was "selling well" so they raised the prices?!?

You're right it is a kind of odd way to start a tour, by waiting to the last second to even confirm it....It's hard to tell how a show sells at first, because often you can't base it on what kind of tickets are left...Usually an article or something ends up mentioning the success so far of tickets, after they go on sale...And yes if a show is selling well they do raise the prices...usually lowering the prices is the best indication of not selling well...Sometimes brokers will get MANY more than just a few seats in a row...usually more than 20, to sell, so while they may have say ORCH Row B listed forever...doesnt necessarily mean they have the same tix sitting around...when they sell tix..they buy more...brokers def. have connections

Also to add...these shows still have a good chance of selling well..although they may not sell out quick...one everything is confirmed, and summer comes closer the buzz will generate...a lot of times tours like these sell better when the dates get closer

I found this and thought I would post it.. I'm not sure if it's totally accurate or not. I am really surprised at some of these venues..

They are smoking some serious drugs if they think they will sell out 2 shows at Jones Beach... the place is HUGE... they will have difficulty just selling out the upper deck on one show, let alone two..

Kelly, this could be a good thing... if no one knows about it, there will be a much greater chance in the real fans getting good seats..

i doubt it, that'll just make more seats for the brokers... maybe i've just never had good luck with it though?
