Nah, Boston has had to have sold more than 15-20k.
-If all the $97 tix are gone
-And most of the $150 tix are gone
- Plus about half of the $350 tix are gone.
That has to be more than 15-20k

a large amount of tickets are not even being offered up for sale at this point, The machine is attempting to create demand by making it look like tickets are selling well |

You can't get a $150 ticket on the floor.
The only $97 tickets left are on the opposite end of the stadium.
Plus, you can always get the top end tickets. Right up until the day of the show.
It's the $60 tickets that are killing the sales. |

If they were that desperate to sell tickets why would they not allow the best ones to the public.
It makes no sense. |

It makes perfect sense. They have no problem selling better seats if and when they are available. Its the crummier high end seats that they have to sell and the best way to do that is to make more desireable seats unavailable.
I have long since learned that unavailable through Ticketmaster online and "sold out" are two totally different things. |

So are you saying I could still get ground level $150 from ticketmaster at som point?
If so I might buy them and hope to move up with an upgrade. |

At the end of the day how many people will be at this show?
My best guess is about 40-45k |

All I can say is when looking for tickets, never buy anything unless you are happy with it, and keep checking til you find something. |

this is solid, albeit redundant, advice.
Dan,
you really should consider writing a book on how to get tix on the cheap. I'm serious. Maybe even do one of those "Concert Tix For Dummies" books.
or, at the very least, a blog. No overhead costs needed btw. |

It is economics at its absolute basic. Please See Dan's post, he covered it well. |

I meant it in a good way. If the stadium is already 1/2 full they should get a decent crowd. It's almost two months away.
Anyway, fuck them. If they weren't such greedy bastards they would sell the place out in an hour with decent prices. |

they will get a full house, just not a full profit. We should all be thankful, they owe us nothing! |

The Stones opened the fucking tour in our city with 2 shows at Fenway park to a near combined total of approx 72,000 people at high-end prices. Then they tried to sell 2 shows at the arena with a few thousand seats unsold. If they hadn't been dancing and shouting with glee to the lovely tune of "KA CHING" they would have heard the sound of the fucking door closing right there.
Boston is not populated by a high percentage of rich retards. We may have our fair share of fat wallets in this city but the greed-grab associates underestimated our collective intelligence. Even we understand the fundamentals of "supply and demand". Basically, how the fuck can we miss them if they never fucking go away?
Whatever ... but we're not a bunch of lemmings that will simply throw our credit cards at the feet of the almighty Cohl for a 5th time in a year simply because he wants us to. We're smart enough and reserve the right to say no when an asshole wants to fuck us without lube and a reach-around!! |

I'm glad you took it in the spirit in which it was intended. In comedy, chances are taken.... |
