It always has been this way. So if FM wil come to Europe afther they had a summertime break we will soon have new dates. at least i hope so!!!

Yeah, I have to say I've never known an arena show to be announced just five weeks in advance here in the UK. Usually it's at least three months in advance, often more than that.

Why do you suppose that is? Is it just because that's the way consumers have been conditioned to expect the lead-time to be? Do you think sales would considerably suffer if there was a concentrated on-sale period?

I really don't know but here are a few concerts in Holland to let you know what i mean. It is the same in Belgium and i believe for the rest of Europe.

Eagles, date of concert 18-07-09 tickets on sale 13-12-08
Coldplay, date of concert 10-09-09 tickets on sale 09-12-08
Tina Turner, date of concert 02-05-09 tickets on sale 06-02-09
Crosby Stills & Nash, date of concert 06-07-09 tickets on sale 13-03-09

Just a few concerts but this is how it works here. You see we have lots of time to get our tickets. If you look at it this way and FM will go to Europe after the summer than we can have new dates around June!
What do you think?????

I have a theory (although it doesn't apply to all cases). Most high profile arena/stadium tours start in North America, and while the European dates are planned & set at the same time, they may take place months after the first batch of North America dates. But, since they announce them all (NA & Europe) at the same time, they put them all on-sale at (roughly) the same time.

Maybe it has something to do with how the act is paid by the promoter and in what currency... if the promoter pays the act in US currency but collects money in all other European currencies including the euro could that be a factor with the exchange differences etc. I mean maybe collecting large amounts of money on ticket sales (and invested) in advance by the promoter is needed to offset the cost of the act being paid in US funds.... I'm just guessing. I have no idea what the euro is today in relation to the us dollar or vise versa and how these acts are paid when they travel to far off lands.

Despite the likelihood, I'm taking no chances - joining the tour in Dallas and going to about half of them through to Vegas. Just waiting for those good seats to magically appear on TM!

WOW how nice!! You coming to Houston on May 2nd by chance??? If so, I'll be there!
