How is the attendance for the tour? - Page 5

Nah, I don't agree. I stood at the stage and the entire first eight rows on the sides were filled with empty seats. The whole second row, on both the left and right side of Center, was empty. Until people moved up into those seats from their ticketed seat. i was shocked at how many seats around me were empty.....especially close seats. The lawn was about 1/2 full........,,, comparing it to the Mac show in 2004 it looked empty.

Those numbers for Jones Beach are horrible. I know the weather was a factor but it was the only New York City show.

Not good.

The tour seems to be doing about average overall. If the promotor would have booked her in smaller venues, she would have sell outs.

Well that was Orchestra. My sister was in section 201 and my friends were in 302. From up there they said it was completely full. I was in 104 and I agree with you. To tell you the truth. People left after Chris Isaak's set and some left during Stevie's first song. I think that if we had cheaper ticket prices we could have seen a sell out in PNC and the Beach. She sold out both these places in 01 with cheaper ticket prices.

The Beach isn't NYC. She should be playing in the city. She could easily sell out two nights at Radio City or four nights at the Beacon.

I'm with you on that point. Also, you have to consider the venue. If Stevie were in the D.C. area, she'd most likely be at Nissan Pavilion in Bristow. If that's on a weeknight, it's hard as the dickens to get all the way down there if you're fighting rush hour traffic in that area for a venue that has almost zero infrastructure supporting it on a night when the local transit system shuts down at midnight.

On a Friday night or a Saturday night, the transit system in question stays open until 3 a.m., which makes a huge difference. Plus, you're not getting out of work and trying to zoom down to a venue that doesn't have the infrastructure to support the zoom zoom.

Here's 5 more results of attendance at the 'Crystal Visions' tour, and the first sellout show is in this batch! So far, I've posted sales figures for about 22 of her dates on this tour,i think. Any shows i've been sent stats for are all located in this thread, which is why i'm keeping this batch here, thus bumping this thread back to Page One from Page Three, which sometimes is frowned upon amongst Ledgies, but it seemed most logical to me to keep it all in one place...

Those numbers aren't that bad. I was told that 12k showed up for Mansfield and that 10k tickets were sold.

Known to bust a stone or two? Riiiiiiight.

well according to pollstar Stevie Ranked at #13 out of the top 20 tours of the summer which i think is awesome.
the show at Tweeter Center in Mansfield Mass. that i went to was not a sold out show i want to say there was about 8-9,000 people there give or take a few. But The Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncassville,CT was sold out on july 1, for sure that seats 10,000 people.

rock on stevie

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

Kelly, you seem to always want to critizice Stevie for god only knows why! However I went to every night of her Caesars Palace concerts and I could only see a few empty seats and they were way up in the rafters! FYI!!

I was wondering where your review was, too!

I don't think they did. From what I saw, it looked like all the seats were sold out.... DId I ever post a review?

I saw her again in 2001 but this time at the Tweeter in Mansfield and I was in the rafters....the place was packed, definitely sold out. So I guess, it can depend on the day of the week the show is on and so forth. I will be seeing Stevie at the Mohegan this time around and I would have loved to have seen her up at Tweeter in Mansfield but I decided not to do so because it would cost me a train ticket on top of a rather high priced ticket ( $125.00 compared to Mohegan's $75.00 tag) so I decided to stay closer to home and go for the Issak-free, and $50.00 less show (hey, that's a tour shirt in my pocket now!) Yeah, money was a main factor in my plans as I am sure it is in other fans who have decided to bow out or weigh out the better deal. Just hope she puts a little more in...a different song as a surprise or a couple of extra songs....I am really wishing here as we know pigs don't fly! She will keep it same and safe. I still look forward to the show and its incredible atmosphere.

The TISL Mansfield show was nuts. That place was packed to the limit. But she had done a TON of promo for that album and it sold really well. I almost got trampled when everyone rushed the stage. Some guy just lifted me up and thre me on a chair....scary show LOL.
