Default Are the THINFS-tour ticket sales lame in general?

I went over to ticketmaster to check available tickets for ongoing THINFS dates and noticed there's lots of seats available on different shows. Should also mention that MSG shows werent anywhere near sold out which is kinda odd.

So are the ticket sales slower / is there less audience in general than before (like WAN-tour etc.)?

You're not searching right because both MSG shows are sold out. Tickets Master is now bringing you to a default screen when shows sell out... It's their version of Stub Hub... All shows are selling extremely well...

There might be those tickets available that are ridiculously priced but I don't count them...

I doubt all shows have sold out, but as far as the pictures and videos I've seen, they all look either near sold out or sold out. In other words the shows have been doing very very well....

I got two tickets for the Detroit show for $40 (not counting fees). Pretty good deal!

This will be your best source as the promoter releases the attendance. Right now only Nashville is showing up at #8 on the list but as Live Nation releases the info you should see it here.

It seems to me that there are a few, and I mean a few here that are hell bent on this band and tour to fail. From what I have been seeing these past weeks on pictures and videos, the shows look to be sold out, now maybe they don't sell out as fast as they did in past tours, especially in the 80s and 90s, but there are selling out, and for the most part people are enjoying the shows, but of course there are a few here are not satisfied until they can say, 'this tour was a failure", just saying, and for the record, I am only emphasizing a few.

Plenty of seats left for Pittsburgh and Memphis(in one week) shows at least.

If you're JBJ and you could still pull off an arena tour after losing a high profile figure like Richie Sambora, I'd be pretty impressed... Sure the numbers are going to dip a little. That has to be expected but overall,the numbers are still impressive...

If anything, the massive success of later legs of BWC tour + relative success of This House proved that the commercial importance of Richie to Bon Jovi brand is not so big. I would not have thought so in April of 2013. As much diehards love(d) Richie, he just doesn't have that "Slash effect" for the casuals.

I believe market oversaturation in the last 9 years is a much more contributing factor than Richie's absence. In many Western places they played like 4 or 5 times in a give city (not counting double nights, etc.) during this time span, which is more frequent than other high profile rock legends (e.g. U2, Bruce, etc.). It's natural that returns start to diminish a bit.
