Houston Ticket Prices Substantially Reduced

[WatchChain]

9 days out, ticket prices for Stevie's Houston show on August 12 have been substantially reduced with large quantities of tickets in ALL sections still available. Lower level seats are now as low as $79 to $104. Balcony seats are $59. The initial prices were very high in the first few weeks they went on sale.

The promotors might be wishing they had booked the smaller outdoor amphitheater like The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion instead of a large arena like The Toyota Center. Stevie played the outdoor pavilion last fall.

Had I waited until this week to purchase, I could have saved almost $200 on the total price of two tickets. If anyone is thinking of going, NOW is the time to buy.

How much were your tickets there at Toyota Center for the 24 Karat Gold Tour? I can’t remember the last time I paid $59 to see Stevie!

I just checked the Pittsburgh arena I saw the 24K Gold tour at. She plays there in late September. The arena is almost sold out. The seats I got back then are for sale $525.00 a piece. I never paid anywhere near that in 2017. I think they were about $250 for side seat shows. The people next to me were on the backstage VIP list. I got to see Stevie's dogs and saw her backstage before the show from the angle I was at.

So Stevie hasn't played this venue, Toyota Center in Houston, solo since the 24 Karat Gold Tour 7 years ago. Tonight is her first show in like 40 days and it is at Ohio State's enormous football stadium.

She's had plenty of time to have shaken the set up, well over a month. Here is a reasonable revised setlist for the rest of this year's tour.

1. Outside the Rain
2. Dreams
3. If Anyone Falls
4. Rooms On Fire
5. Stop Draggin' My Heart Around
6. Ooh My Love
7. Leather and Lace
8. Gate and Garden
9. Wild Heart
10. Bella Donna
11. Stand Back
12. After the Glitter Fades
13. Rhiannon
14. How Still My Love
15. Gold Dust Woman
16. Edge of Seventeen
17. Think About It
18. Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You? (photos with Christine on the video wall)

Plenty of hits and some treats for true fans.

Hahahahaha…no chance she would change her set that much…or at all! Looks like last nights set is the same as before.

I don't know what she does with 40 days in between shows. Especially since she only did four shows before that 40 day break.

The most exciting thing about last night was she wore a different dress.

Here's a video of For What It's Worth. My eyes start to droop watching it. Such a boring song. She doesn't look like she's enjoying the performance.

I know she's laughing all the way to the bank playing these big shows and doesn't care what her die hards think of these performances just that they buy tickets, but this 2023 solo tour/Billy Joel tour is just sad. So much for that post she made saying she was working on a NEW SETLIST.

Edit: Here's an excellent version of Gypsy with high notes and an impossible twirl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJFO3MBroo8

Reviewer said Stevie told her Milwaukee audience that she voted for the first time at the age of 71. Please God show her the way.

Maybe before then she was just writing ultimatums on the ballot.

Unless she voted in 2019, either the reviewer or Stevie misidentified her age.

In November 2020 she was 72.

The Primary was in March 2020 so she was 71 then.

Indeed. I hadn't thought of that.

It's sad that someone waited until age 71 to cast a vote in a national election. Whatever the case, I would LOVE to secretly know which candidate she voted for.

For the primary? I think she would have supported Bloomberg. For the general, it's out there in interviews who she voted for.

Thanks, I found it. I hadn't paid much attention to Stevie's voting record. In this article, Stevie voices her disdain for Donald Trump and his effort to win reelection.

Looking forward to WatchChain's experience! I saw this show and found it pretty much like the 24 Karat Gold Tour in its structure (storytelling)

It's really amazing that she played 10 of the same songs that she did at Toyota Center the last time she played there 7 years ago and then she also sang two covers this year (Free Fallin' and For What It's Worth) - in 2016, she sang all of her own songs. And she played in the Houston area last year so the only different songs people got last night were I Sing For the Things and Fall From Grace.

Then again, maybe most of the people at the show last night were kids who have never seen her live before.
