Ouch! That's a pretty low draw in such a big city. I think Coors is actually a 20,000 seat place.
One thing I think would help would be for Stevie's managment to scale back on the size of the venues she's performing in.
Last time she played Dallas she did Nokia and sold it out. I think it's in the 5,000 seat range.
That way she has a better chance of selling out, and not have to face all those empty seats.
Same with San Diego. She could have played San Diego State's Open Air Amphitheater and had close to a sell out. It's sad to see her not have a huge draw everywhere she plays.

You're wrong when you say everywhere...She has good markets...

What an odd, random choice of "hot, hot acts", considering the Killers are bombing pretty much everywhere they go, and Celine, Shakira, and Madonna aren't touring.

And the market has as much to do with the ticket sales as does the day of the week, by the way. $200-$300K gross is what should be expected from Stevie from this point onward in Stevie's career.

For the record San Diego has NEVER been a good market for her..Her White Winged Dove show at the then San Diego sports arena in Dec 81 was allegedly cancelled due to poor ticket sales and brutha was I pissed having skipped school to stay up all night to buy tickets.Her Rock a Little show at the same venue was perhaps a bit over half full.

I wonder why that is. You'd think all markets would be Stevie markets.

When Celine was at Caesar's she couldn't even fill every night to capacity. When I saw Madonna at the Garden Summer 2006, she didn't even sell out every night.

Celine played six nights a week for YEARS! She sold out the vast majority of those shows. No one could sell out a venue every single night for five years straight but Celine sure came close. Stevie didn't sell out her four night run.

I would be pretty shocked if Madonna did not have a much higher grossing tour compared to La Nicks.

You are wrong. I went to Friday and Saturday and they were both sold out. How long are you going to say that all of them weren't sold out?

I'm glad Stevie's shows are selling well....I felt SO bad for Fleetwood Mac toward the end of their tour a few years ago when my friend and I went to a Coors Amphitheater performance....there were TONS of open seats...everywhere. THe grass was only sprinkled with people; the band clearly noticed. Lindsey appeared to be looking around the most while Stevie just stared into space......though they all seemed to merely go through the motions as the end of their tour was quickly approaching. I think they were all burned out, but regardless, I think it bothered them that so few people attended. I personally think part of the reason why few people were in attendance was because they did so many Southern California dates and most fans had already seen them at least once by the time they hit Coors again ...... outrageous ticket prices didn't exactly help either.

was over 10,000 for the OKC show (I did my usual glance back towards the audience in the general admission seating and I was very surprised to see that many people due to the threat of weather).

I think she did very well in OKC due to the fact it had been 21 years since her last solo OKC show, plus it is an easy drive for those arriving from Tulsa, Wichita & Dallas.

Was there any reviews for any of the OKC newspapers? You think a 10,000+ concert would put something in newspaper.

since I cancelled my subscription that day since those a-holes double charged my bank acct., thus pissing away money I had saved to use for gasoline/beverages/etc..

I'll go check the newspaper's website though...

Edit: No report or review of the show to be found on their website.

77Rumours77 · #28 06-10-2007, 09:18 PM

I looked... nothing f*cking OKC!!!!!

Guess you don't get a review unless you HUGE I don't even remeber Fleetwood Mac getting a review

On a side note, anything surface recording wise?
