St. Paul has been slow but I wouldn't look too much into it unless it's still like this a week before. The way they priced it with the absurd number of "platinum" and "VIP package" tickets showed that they weren't looking for an instant sell-out. With that said the dynamic pricing is already starting to kick in by increasing the number of $35 tickets and the 15th row is now going for $155. 10 years ago I would've jumped on that but not now.

With that said I have been having an easier time getting tickets to events since COVID, as I think a certain percentage of the population is still worried about crowds, especially the older acts. And I wonder if the current state of the band is ever going to start to impact ticket sales. The THINFS tour sold extremely well in the US but I wonder if some fans saw it and thought "Not as good without Richie and he can't sing anymore" and are going to skip it moving forward.
