so those 1000 seated tix for $100 a pop have sold out on the first onsale date. wonder whether your assumption will turn true? really really hope we see other dates and prices sooner rather than later!

well that's 100k.

Not sure how many seats they sell at the $59 rate...... if it's the same number, (1000) that's another 59k. $159,000 isn't a ton of money now is it? Even with merchandise thrown in if they have any. If they're smart they'll sell cds. There's definitely a merchandising area available.

yup, the only way they won't be losing money is if they travel cheap (don't see Lindsey-style cheap travel though for this one!), do some m&gs, or raise the prices. or do larger venues (which i really hope won't be the case).

this is why I wonder if they'll just stay on the west coast?? less distance to travel, trucking stuff up I-5 only takes a day or two. We will see in coming days if those additional dates materialize or not. Can't imagine they'd only do ONE though.....

uh. i hope not!

for OMS Lindsey at first had just first leg announced and it was all just up and down the west coast. i think he was waiting to see how it's gonna go before booking any further and that could have been it. of course, the minute i bought tix for a few of those shows and booked my travel, because i thought that was gonna be it, he added another leg, across the country! i really don't feel like going through that again this summer! although i wouldn't mind it if they start adding legs like he did for OMS!

i guess i'm just assuming they might do bi-coastal shows at least, since if they time it right, they can get a free ride for their equipment across the country with their Mac stuff.

It's a small machine, they will love it. They will have their own bus. Stay at 5 star hotels. Minimal band...

Hell, I can't wait.

They'd better get their happy asses to the Midwest.

Homie don't fly.
