Concert promotions?

OK, so I don't mean to start another one of these threads, but I just looked for curiosity's sake at the shows in Missouri and other Midwestern sites. I'm stunned that they are not sold out, and what really bothers me is how many people to whom I've said something about Pearl Jam coming to Columbus and they had no idea. Several of them immediately went and ordered tickets. I realize this was a late-announced tour, but who is responsible for promoting these events? I've seen tons of ads on TV for Rush and others who are coming to Nationwide Arena, but ZERO for Pearl Jam. Doesn't make sense to me.

    it's all about your local radio stations to get the word out for big concerts, usually with ticket giveaways. I know for the Buffalo show, our rock station actually contacted ten club to try to arrange a pre sale (after the TC presale) for people who were members on the stations website

    I can't figure it out either. How hard is this for them to get?

    LA
    Seattle
    Portland
    San Fran
    Chicago
    DC
    Philly
    NYC
    Hartford
    Boston

    There's your tour. All sell outs. All great shows.
