Right - first Tour since KTF without me in the audience! I usually throw garbage away and I am not willing to pay for that laclustre affair

Thats great! All they gotta do is pack that so-called second guitar player and the violin missus in a bag and throw em to jail for butchering BJ classics! I would say lifesentence would be just fair!

Oh pack it in woman! Drop it, you're doing our heads in.

Also, why did you reply to the same post twice saying two different things? You can have more than one sentence in each post you know.

Lets have a bet: The European leg of the tour will be the least successful BJ tour for ages! If I read and heard about that disaster with a ticket in my hands I would try to get rid of it as soon as I possibly could!

When when when when when when are people going to realize that the mass majority doesn't always agree with your opinion simply because you feel strongly about it. People have brains of their own. God. You weren't even AT the shows this thread is about, what do you care?

I just got back but I'd like to comment on the corporate boxes. They were mostly empty for these shows unfortunately. These are special seats that are bought by corporations for marketing purposes - sometimes seasons tickets just for the Devils or sometimes the boxes are bought for every event during the year. It's a writeoff for the corporations and the seats are used mostly to get more business. If no one is intersted in a particular concert - the seat can sit empty - it's paid for in any case. It's usually not worth it for a company to sell a seat for a certain concert or event so a lot of times it stays empty.

It sucks from a concert goers perspective since there are a lot of empty seats in certain areas - good seats too I would have loved some of those box seats. I really don't know how they are figured into the sell out numbers though since they are not really available for the concert.

You obviously weren't at this show because this show ROCKED, even with the entire LH. Best show I've seen in years and anything but a nightmare.

I read somewhere that any venue that sells 80-85% of tickets it is classed as a sell out.
