Seriously? Did you see that video from Chicago the other night? The whole place looks packed! She has gotta be one of the biggest draws on the circuit today, maybe second tier to acts like Harry Styles and Taylor Swift (who play to millions every year).

Oh come on David I don’t think she’s even close to that. Swift just sold 150k in two nights in Pittsburgh. Stevie couldn’t sell out the arena without a solid co-headliner.

Chicago did sell well. But, some of the other shows not so much. When I was in Vegas the same weekend as $he, they were giving tickets away.

She's scheduled for LA here early December and there's mucho seats. Swift or Mac would be sold out. The Billy Joel shows are selling.

Her audience is aging and she’s not exactly getting up on stage and putting on anything THAT interesting anymore. Fleetwood Mac (with any of the Rumours songwriters involved) has always and will forever sell more seats than any of them solo, including the queen herself. Put her, Mick, Mike, and Sheryl on stage as some half assed version of Fleetwood Mac and it will easily outsell her solo shows.

The “new” audience she is gaining through all the TikTok Silver Springs and Harry Styles influenced love is going to struggle to justify those prices. And in that group she’s also competing with the likes of Swift. Sorry, most younger girls are attending a Swiftie event before Stevie Nicks.

If she solidly embraced social media and released even a halfway decent new single with a cool video that engaged people who aren’t in the typical boomer/genx concert circuit, she could do a lot better. Not to mention her live show is generally blah these days. The songs are tired and she looks tired.

I’m guessing she’s making good coin and really just doesn’t care to do anything different or new. And she really hasn’t for a long time.

She’s not a huge concert seller any more, without some market draw from a paired act. But she’s still hella viable.

When I was a kid, I loved her and listened to her obsessively. Everyone I knew made fun of me for it. Now that I’m tired of her music and more than a little tired of her behavior, I see countless people singing her praises. She’s rock royalty…now…when I’m too bored to listen…

Taylor sold 212k in three nights at Nissan Stadium here, about 6 weeks ago. She set the all time record(just for the record, I don't like her- just stating facts).

Same. Her music does nothing for me and her voice lacks any passion. That said, same in Pittsburgh. Her first show broke the stadium attendance record. The next night she made a new record. Her selling power is unmatched today.

After the 2019 Tour, my thinking was the name Stevie Nicks was bigger than FM, but I realized, Stevie’s not playing two nights in these arenas. On With The Show Tour had 3 nights at MSG, 3 in Chicago, 5 or 6 at the Forum, 2 in Texas towns. The only double nights Stevie does are at places like Ravinia which hold maybe 4,000.
