By your theory, if Giants will be a success at 50K of available 77K seating, then Gillette was more of a success, as they sold 44K of available 66K, given the larger market which Giants serves. Please use a greater theme of rational thought when hurling accusations, or the humiliation factor will grow ever larger for your home state not supporting one chord of music from your favorite quartet during this fall run. Thank you for your continued support and cooperation. |

They make 60k tickets available for Giants...Gillette made 45k available when we both know if they had the demand, at least 55-60k could be made available. The fire-slaes are not quite as prevalent yet for Giants, although you can get 4 tix and 4 t-shirts for $195!!!! I beleive Giants will fill up-maybe even 53-56.....Reflecting back on Boston, at least 35k of the 42k in attendance probably paid full price-thus, we still will gross very well there. The fsact they got 42k was prety good considering the 5th show , weknight, etc...it was O.K. when all was said and done.

Out of Bruce/U2/Metallica/Bon Jovi/Stones/Toby Keith/Various Rock package acts, only, yes only Kenney Chesney has ever sold over 50K in the four year history at the Razor, which was his 2nd highest gross ever.
Simply put, most football venues in US rarely set aside all available seating for concerts, due to logistics which do not exist with football events, such as behind stage viewing access, soundboard/mixing locations on the floor.
Summary, you will be hard pressed to find good gross sales beyond Gillette & Giants, Chicago, new Arizona site this round for venues of this size.
Additionally, looking at the other acts, their lack of stadium inclusions, The Stones win again for filling these venues. They will be hard pressed to be beaten in the future. Of course, this was predicted back in the '70's, by those in the know... |

Yes...Bruce easily outsold the Stones....he is much bigger in the N.E. as are Bon Jovi...New York is not close to being the Stones town it once was...not even close... |

this is the 1st Giants Stadium show I will not be attending. I had already put in for Thursday off. My friends have a hotel there. But I think I'm still gonna pass.
Kinda sad really. But I think I'm just done seeing them in Stadiums. I left their last MSG show with a such great feeling - I actually felt like that could of been my last show and it would of been OK. I finally got to see Sway live. Had great seats and great time. Stadium shows are so spread out it just takes away. Even floor seats in the 1st 20 suck. At this point with over 50 shows under my belt I need to see them in more intimate settings.
It breaks my heart to miss them when they are playing so close. Despite all the complaining and tough love I give them here they are still my all-time favorite band and theres no place I'd rather be than a Stones show. But I've got my AC tix. Will try for Beacon tix. MSG is a given. Vegas always a possibility. But feel its time to pass on Giants and all other stadiums.
hopefully y'all get a great set and I'll be kicking myself the next day
cheers! |

You have made the transition....there is no reason not to attend as prices are down, and it looks like you will get a decent set....you must go if you truly love the band...

Hello tazz22. I am skipping Giants(did it last year) and going to Louisville. I went to Giants last year and it was a great show. Enjoy what looks to be a grand pre-party with the Shidoobee's. Doug is a good man. I will be wearing my green IDF shirt in Louisville. |

Hi everyone, thanks for posting on the thread. I'll be at the Shidoobee tailgate party too, but I thought we can have a Rocks Off a party-within-a-party!
I'm looking forward to meeting all of you there! Look for the RO banner, I'll be there sometime around 5:00 and I'll have rum and cokes ready for everyone who wants one!
I hope the STONES play ROCKS OFF and BITCH tomorrow!

If I could go, I certainly would. The teeshirt alone is a c'mon for me. I feel bad that I have other obligations that night. Damn this life! |

this was a tough decision. But I am confident that its in my best interests to no longer attend stadium shows. Just no longer worth it.
hope everyone has a great time. This will be their last Giants Stadium show |
