The Colonial Center has a capacity for concerts around 18,000.
So if only 15,000 are at the show and it's not a sellout, should PJ not play there? They played for 9,000 at Pistoia. Should they not have played there either?
:rolleyes:
15,000 at Columbia is a good turnout. I am rather surprised (pleasantly) that Columbia is selling pretty decent so far. It is only April too.
I understand your point, but I disagree with that actually. The sound is almost always better anywhere inside of an arena compared to any place on the lawn. I saw Dave Mattehws last year in Hartford from the lawn, could honestly barely hear them. One of the quieter songs I missed entirely.
mostly the point was that nosebleeds and lawn tickets are always the last to sell. shows that don't sell out tend to have a few leftover nosebleeds and a few leftover lawnies. neither would necessarily indicate to me that ticket sales were bad, just that the show was not a complete sellout...
I know, I was responding to someone who said Hartford was not sold out.
right. and the point is that having a few leftover nosebleed seats in an arena is akin to just having a few leftover lawn tickets at an amphitheater. why aren't people starting threads about how hartford isn't sold out, but they start them about columia not being sold out? how is one different from the other? oh, i remember. columbia is in the south, so it's automatically ok to shit on it....
I think some of us are wrong in judging the south shows or any PJ shows that are not quick sellouts. In reality very very few concerts sell out right away even shows in clubs and theatres. It takes a lot of people to fill up these arenas and with PJ shows having predominately male audiences that makes it tough to fill up arenas in medium sized markets. An example of concerts not selling out would be the Police's upcoming shows.

They were thinking of how many times they've played Toronto, possibly.
