I'm not sure I get the whole, 1 album per ticket sold thing... The numbers just don't add up... So if I purchased 4 tickets, I'd get 4 albums?

Right now there are 20 U.S. shows on sale so even if they averaged 10K each, that would be 200K albums just based on the concerts alone... Do the downloads count as physical copies and just the streams are excluded??? Or maybe they do get as may per ticket, however people are only claiming 1 download... I guess this is part of the deal with the record company. A way for them to capitalize off Jon's touring machine... Tickets prices are adjusted and each time someone cashes in the download, the money gets taken from the tour and it's handed over to the record company... Very Clever!!!

So maybe the album would have sold just as poor in the US if the tickets didn't go on sale... And then once the European concert tickets go on sale, you'll see a spike in album sales... So I wonder how many albums were purchased outside the tour.. You have to figure that most fans have the physical album so they aren't going to even bother with the Download, especially if it's just an MP3 version...
