by the fact that columbus, st. louis, kansas city, etc. are not only NOT sold out, but not even CLOSE to sold out?

i'm telling everybody i know in columbus to go, but it'll be a bit embarrassing if mighty pearl jam can't even sell 80% of the seats.

    Don't worry about it. It'll be whatever it is.

    They waited until the last minute to announce the show.
    If it doesn't sell out, maybe next time they will give people more advance notice?! (!!!)

    Yes, and no.

    If it is not sold out, a better chance of me getting a good seat. It is a weeknight, which sucks. An indoor show at that time of year? An outdoor show would be a bit better.

    However, if they don't sell it out, hopefully that won't mean they won't return...we want them back.

    It seems like in Columbus, a lot of the remaining seats are in the upper level, in the back, so i'm not too concerned.

    Don't waste your time and energy on frivolous things.

    Bon Jovi and Kid Rock sold out Soldiers Field 2 nights in a row this summer.

    Who cares? I'm going to see my favorite band and they are seeing theirs. I will probably go to theirs as well. It's all good. :)

    oh i know you were no worries. you set me up good for what i said. i don't mind these 2 week tours in each region of the states but a little info say like 5 months before the tour would be nice. the band can say we are playing this region at this time and won't be playing other regions this year sorry. it give people enough to make travel plans.

    I used to worry about these things however my second favorite band, The Manic Street Preachers came to detroit last year & I was so concerned there would be noone there. Well there were only 75 people there & the show still kicked ass. So Ive learned to say who cares how many people show up.

    As to Detroit being a bigger draw than some of these other cities that havent sold out. I dont know if i agree with that. On the 2006 tour the Palace had the 3 sections furthest from the stage curtained off. However I think this had to do with the Grand Rapids show being three days earlier. I think that took some of the draw away from the Palace show.

    All in all who cares what the turnout is the show will most likely still kick ass & it could be Matt Camerons last shows with the band leaving the door open for a Jack Irons return!

    They had that part sectioned off so they could do the light show. It was intentional, that is why it had a big black curtain.
    I do think it was sold out, as far as how many seats they were actually selling.

    Last time in Detroit, 2006 at the Palace, they did not come close to selling out and put up the black curtain in the upper bowl opposite the stage. Great show, but not a sell out. The days of Pearl Jam selling out 20,000 seat venues in the Midwest (outside of Chicago) are probably over. Doesn't mean they still shouldn't hit these cities.

    I have to say that STL and Columbus dont bother me... but KC... wow...

    KC sec 106 row 6
    stl 305 row b
    col 203 N

    Those are what you can pull for pairs right now. STL and Columbus are both upper deck, but row 6 of 106 is insane to be able to pull like that!

    Crazy... I am now quite anxious to see my TC seats! ;)

    every band i've seen at the palace came nowhere near selling it out. i think pearl jam had the second largest audience i've seen there, next to eric clapton. a lot of bands put the black curtain around the entire upper bowl, so having it just in the back isn't too bad.
    take into consideration too that the palace has A LOT of seats for a concert (23,000)... so if they sell 19,000 tickets, that leaves 4,000 empty seats.... most arenas don't hold 19,000 people for concerts. i'm rambling now, but my point is is that the palace is huge and empty seats can be misleading lol

    Very good points...though Tool sold the Palace out on the 10,000 Days tour. But you are 100% right, the Palace is one of the largest arenas around. Not a lot of sell-outs.

    For Indy, i just did a search for the best seats available and I came up with lawn seats. That is pretty good considering we are still about three weeks away from the concert. As i remember from back in 2003, there were still open seats in the pavillion. It is going to be a pretty big draw that night.

    That's easy. Of course it's better if they "sell out". Any idiot knows that.
