I thought every night was a sellout at first :o

No sellouts, but only 1,678 tickets were not sold so it´s about 168 tickets/show??? Must have been VIP packages or something...

How do you know 'exactly' how many tickets weren't sold?

Yeah, I guess :) Math has never been my strong suit!

But if you take those numbers as correct, you don't exactly have an argument to say that playing 10 nights at one venue was a mistake!

There were entire sections in the that were empty. I believe Kathleen called them "corporate boxes" and I'm sure she knows more accurate information than I do! All I can tell you is that they were much better sections than the filled seats behind the stage or up in God's lap. I think the fact that they opened the seats behind the stage tells you that the shows did sell very well.

Corporate boxes aren't really sections that a regular person can just but, at least not for cheap.
The ights I was there (esp. the last) looked pretty full.
The only area with some empties looked to be the behind the stage area.

But playing ten nights with mainly crap set lists was a mistake (especially the nightmare evening with all of LH!)

Okay...we all get it! YOU hate Lost Highway! Message received loud and clear! This is the Lost Highway tour, so it should be expected that they play Lost Highway material! If I didn't want to hear any of it live, I wouldn't have bought tickets for any of the shows. But I did (for multiple shows I might add!) I'm assuming you didn't. Fair enough.

And the show I was at last night (in London) they only played 4 songs from LH. I was actually hoping to hear a couple of more. To each his (or her!) own, I guess.

All times are GMT +2. The time now is 11:49 AM.
