For the record. The Boston Herald is saying that the Foxboro show at Gilette stadium last night (9/20/06) was in fact sold out by show time.
I don't know if it was 100% sold (there were a few empty in the nose bleed seats)out. But to say it was only 90% full is ridiculous. |

Look, 43k is absolutely not a sell out. Many who attended said it was pretty full, but saw empties on top. I am not saying the show was "wide-open", as they almost always fill it in. The #'s the press get are , lets say, made more favorable to the band. Bottom line, the 30-35k who paid full price made this a very profitable concert-the equivalent of almost 3 indoor shows, w/out the higher arean rental charges. I am actually surprised that they were able to fill it up w/ so little time. I awit what happens in NY, Chicago, and Witchita........ |

That's what I said. I agree w/ you. It wasn't 100% sold out (despite what some reports are saying) but it was very close. |

Yes...we agree. With the exception of Buffalo(30k in 97) , Indianapolis , Syracuse, and Gainesville, thay almost alwasy are able to get 90-95% full. Buffalo , a loser city, has not received a concert since 97, and we all know why. |

I suspect all seats were indeed sold/given away. A few folks I suspect just decided not to show up. That was a BIG mistake - this show was awesome. |

Off course is is not meant ot offend you or the great Mattman. However, the facts speak for themselves. Buffalo has been omitted from even an idoor show these past 9 yrs....Buffalo, at one time, had over 80k at Rich Stadium, but due to urban demograhics, no longer can support a Stones concert......................... |

Cleveland had to cancel second show in 94, and attendance in doors has been weak; Denver humiliated our band last Thanksgiving.................>< |

Any word on the numbers for Giant at this time? How about AC? There were fantastics seats avail a few days ago for just about anywhere you wanted (250 and up, that is).
