Hull on the LH tour was pretty dire. They reduced the ticket prices and it still was only half full.

Nuremberg 2003. They expected to sell over 40.000 tickets but sold about 8.000, which resulted in the show being moved to an indoor venue in Kiel.

Can anybody else confirm this? i think the show in kiel was added to the other shows. i never heared something of a show in nuremburg in 2003.

F*ck even though I know it's true, it's still depressing to read.

Hull was the HAND tour. But the trend continued onto the Lost Highway tour and if they aren't smart, it will happen this time around too.

I don't know how many tickets were sold, but it's true, that the venue changed.

But: the name of the city was Neumunster, not Nuremberg.

This is correct. I actually had tickets for the show in Neumunster but had to sell them as I had an exam that day. Afterwards they moved it to Kiel and it became a half accoustic show. They initially only sold 8.000 tickets because they were stupid enough to set 2 shows in the north of Germany (Bremen and Neumuenster).

Ah yes, I couldn't find what city it was, I had my doubts about Nuremberg anyway.

Playing 2 shows in the north of Germany wasn't such a bad idea, if it wouldn't have been Neumunster it'd have been Hamburg. It just didn't work out.

we were they and paid full, seemed to be giving them away at one point saw these two women in 60's in the pit with shopping looked like they had come straight from asda, it was still a good night even with the rain

I think we all agree that Germany is the way forward, I mean a show doesnt sell out so they get a mega rare accoustic set. We get Hull and a sulky Jon who can't be arsed, never mind all the die hards who forked out to see the last show of the tour. (sorry off topic I know)

I'd be happy with 3 stadium gigs in the UK like the OWN tour
